this song was written about her friend rich. he had a drug problem and she wrote the song to try to reach out to him. the line "And now it hurts me so,
To have to see you go
To watch this song break you down" refers to when he will come to one of her shows and he feels the need to leave when she plays this song. i'm guessing it would be pretty emotional.
this is a beautiful song. i wish more people had heard her music.
I always assumed it was written about her relationship with G Love and his cocaine use. Song for the rich, meaning a song directed to all of the people that make a lot of money quickly and start doing illicit drugs. She later changed the lyrics "build your world on a cocaine foundation" to "build your world on an empty foundation" - which again leads me to believe she is trying to protect G Love's image.
