I really hope things worked out for you. But that wasn't the message of the song. Unfortunately a single achiever breeds a billion believers with big dreams and even bigger messes when those dreams fall apart. We can't all be heroes, but we should learn to be appreciative of the abilities that make us heroes to the people that we care about.

The second verse shows Wax fidgeting his hands and then pulling out a cig and smoking and then the basketball player dressed up has light rays and sunlight when he feels like he's ballin and as it goes on and he gets more weary the light fades and the surroundings become more drab.
