This a song about capitalist exploitation, injustice and racism. Stevie talks about the people who are not being able to enjoy life and do the things they want, not being able to be who they are, they´re just surviving, being part of the system, and they role it´s to be exploited to mantain that system and the status quo. Living, but not really. Just enough for the city.
