I'm pretty sure this is about living in a poor area of the city with a lot of minorities. There are some drug and prostitution references in here to paint the situation, and he mentions the police brutality.

"Pig and hose" is probably the cops spraying minorities with fire hoses, and once he kisses the floor, which I'm guessing is accepting the bottom rung of society, the police let them be. I think the hanging tree is just emphasizing the racism.
