I think there's more than one meaning to this song. The metaphorical meaning is pretty much what you guys are saying, but the litteral meaning...Obviously it's about skateboarding, but it focuses on skaters in general. People think we're such bad people, but really we're not. We look for places to skate, but time and time again we are kicked off of these places. Skateboarders do not really fit in, just because of the fact we skateboard and stereotypically we're asshole pot heads. Anyways, all in all...this is an amazing song for a few reasons. First reason, I hate MOST music on MTV. When I saw this I was impressed. Second reason, I don't usually like rap/hip hop/whatever kind of music.
Anyways, I'll put more thought into it later and repost.
Well, I don't know about the pot heads part, but I do agree with you on how many people think skateboarders are bad people. If I could, I would create a place for skaters to just do what they do best. Skate.
