Hey Cliff, great reaction as always. He knows there's caucasians in many ghettos in America, but some of the ghettos in Southern California where he lived there is next to none. I only know because I lived in one in San Diego where there were 3 other caucasians and me in tens of thousands. I had to have gang protection to live there, no word of a lie. It caused problems, but I eventually was accepted and formed friendships that I still have 15 years after moving away. The bloods saved my blood from being spilled. I had no idea when I moved there of what I was getting into but I'm still grateful for the experience.

In fact, he says this in the audio version of this song (if you wanna hear - the audio version has a couple lines that are different than this music video version).

It’s depressing lol Em was my hero bc he fought against the “system” & said what he wanted but no more 😢

"I'm a savage, randy with the bars" has a double meaning. It not only means what it says, but it's also the former professional wrestler in him paying tribute to "Macho Man" Randy Savage when you flip the words "savage" and "randy" around. One of the things I love about Tom is that he's so intelligent that he sneakily slips wordplay Easter eggs into his lyrics that you won't hear unless you know a lot about his background. RIP "Macho Man" - (November 15, 1952 - May 20, 2011).
