I believe this song to be about buying drugs. Probably cocaine? She's going downtown to see her man... a dealer... Putting it in your pocket means don't finish what's left of the stuff. Standing on the corner full of jive means that she's high on the street. This is just one chick's opinion, but I think it's pretty right on. Curious if there are other opinions!
