Black, Red, Yellow Lyrics

Cover art for Black, Red, Yellow lyrics by Pearl Jam

i think eddie vedder says fifty fott RODMAN not roman and why would it stand for a roman candle? i think this song is about a basketball game

This song is most certainly about basketball. In particularly, it refers to the Chicago Bulls while Rodman was there.

"Freud walking the sidelines..." - this refers to Phil Jackson.

Oh, the black portion of black, red, and yellow has nothing to do with Rodman being a black dude. The Bulls' colors are black and red... and the yellow is in reference to Rodman running around with yellow hair.
