I think its about the fear and paranoia and isolation that comes with living in the city nowadays and how everyones really on their own when they are confonting the city hence -"But they can't put the paper in your face, You're just trying to walk by, So now I got a new game, baby, No one's going to recognize it". Also this line - "I can do everything that your man does except for better" shows how everyone is competing against each other in the city to keep their head above the surface.
