Lee Thompson's sister had a baby with a black man and it caused consternation in his family. It's a great lyric - really sensational. You couldn't believe such sensitivity could come from such a rough diamond, but Lee is one of the best lyricists of his time. We were having trouble with people associating us with the NF, so it was nice to establish once and for all that we weren't."
