It's actually about the fictional fight of Apollo Creed and Rocky Balboa in Rocky 1 from Apollo's point of view.

The lines below are taunts (Apollo was taunting Rocky throughout the movie)

"What's up? Where's your dancing shoes? The kiddies get it on"

"If you're strapped for cash, I've got a job for you: My boots need shining son"

"There's no competition because you're not even in my league. v v

"You can put your hands up I love girls with Brooklyn haircuts I'll be your fanclub Step, step-- you're too slow Speed it up"

And finally, the song title.

"It's Amateur Night at the Apollo Creed" Rocky was brought in to fight Apollo creed as an Amateur fighter. Need I say more?
