I take that this song could be about a girl that is poor, and is obligated to hang out with rich guys cuz she obviously wants to better herself(or so she thinks). getting caught between the moral dilemma of not forgetting who you are as opposed to who other people expect you to be or act a certain way that is alien to you.
