I think this song is an affirmation to the inner city life and how to rise above it.How the difference between being rich and poor can change if everyone would rise to the call but also realizing that being born the child of a poor man that there is no shame or stigma attached to poverty and if we would evolve enough we could eradicate and build a "new jerusalem" meaning a new way of life,better schools and education,housing for individuals,and that there would be no more ghetto in out society at all. I don't know i tried my best to interpret it
