They paint a pretty vivid and poor state of conditions in south west Detroit. I have no personal experience with Detroit but given the recent bankruptcy and issues in Detroit I can imagine that the situation has been on a slow decline for a few decades (which provides a reference for this song that was released in 1997).
I personally enjoy the beat on this track, and the lyrical themes are overly juvenile ... so nearly 20 years after first hearing this song I still don't mind giving it a spin every now and then.
