I'm pretty sure this song describes how all Sonny ever wanted to do was be a singer/rapper from when he was growing up, that he was sure he was good enough because people told him he was great and he was sure all it took was time to get to the top

"flood the microphone, one by one, hear'em holler the sure shoots, rock box, rhym'n on blasted beats mics on my side, they call me Hip Hop Along Cassidy rap'n catasrophe, but only time will tell could we excel and rock bells like LL"

The second verse talks about how he got to the top, but it want easy and they had to play a lot of small gigs, but it paid off..

"dues we pays 8 out of 7 days in many ways, I've seen a lot go around pound for pound from S.D to Boogie Down we've been around, bout as round as they come"
