This song is all about skin color determining a person's identity and how he rebels against that stereotype because as he says, "The choices I made were mine! And I don't mind I rise to the top like cream!" (contrasting the white of cream with the black of his skin) MCUD's lyrics continue to amaze me...oh yeah, and on a side note, the first time I saw them live, he pointed at me for the "sexy little girl" part, great memory for me...
And he also mentions the anger of black youth...
"Young people sayin' "they ain't havin' it"
So? they takin' shit
They breakin' shit
They tired of the status quo
Fittin' to rape yo' shit!"
He's explaining that all of their ignorant actions like rape and riots come from anger and an inability to express it in an artistic way, like he has his music
@GoAskAlice I think it's a little presumptuous to assume he's referring to black youth only. The word rape is used pretty liberally in heavy music from the era this album dropped and it almost never meant anything sexual. You clearly do gaf and I hope you don't always.
