Guys, this song is generally about what the title implies - in very broad terms, Sublime is saying that being arrogant only gets you in trouble. The best part about this song is that the guitars play along perfectly with the lyrical message of the song. The band gets more and more arrogant as the song goes on - they play faster and faster as if to prove that they are really good and can do really awesome things with their guitars and drums and etc... but at the end they convey their message that they are trying to get along. Just chill, take your time (in life, in general), and have fun out there! Notice how they play very slowly as they sing this part, to symbolize their message of taking their time. Even the last word of the song "time", is dragged out "tiiiiiiimmmmmeeee". Friggin' brilliant stuff!
