Well, to me is simple.

You ask for help/respect/medicines/food and speak about being good, but it's hard for me to believe in you when all you give is your leftovers.

It can be said on a country level, or a person level. Some paragraphs may be inspired by band experiences, but the meaning remains the same.

You speak about being good, but you are not as good as you want the others to be with you.
