Relation
Creation
Incarceration
Determination
It is about a life that is full of passion. It is about a life that is worth living.
Relation
Creation (When we relate with one another, we create a bond)
Incarceration
Determination (When we're incarcerated, we're determined to break free)
Equation
Humiliation
Reincarnation (Equation as in equality; humility allows us to treat each other as equal; humility allows us to be broken down and be born again)
Situation
Elation (When we are more aware of our surroundings, we can be elated with what we have)
Identification
Retaliation (When we identify our problems, we retaliate)
Education
Inspiration
No substitution (It is good to be both educated and inspired, but there is no substitution for the other)
Solution
Conclusion (When we have the solution, it's time to conclude)
So I think the most important message of the song is to say to all, that whatever is holding you back from your fate, your volition to create, you must overcome to transcend the hardships. So when he says 'let the drummer kick that' he's saying 'find a passion and a purpose to surpass your shortcomings and embrace a destiny of your choosing'. Let the beat of life, the drummer, your heart, the will to live, kick the poison of sin and convulsion.
If he's saying 'let the drummer kid die', then to those who hear it, he's saying leave those childish distractions and vices behind and grasp a better life. Not necessarily better, but more appropriate to your desires to fulfill your place on earth as a human being.
Here's my run down of the lyrics:
Relations (he meets bad influences)
Creation (they create a volitile situation for themselves)
Incarceration (he ends up in prison)
Equation (prison equates to humiliation)
Humiliation
Reincarnation (he is reborn a good citizen)
Situation (his relations and creations provide good outcomes)
Elation (he is elated to be out of prison and on the right track)
Identification (he is identified by police as and ex-con and is harrassed)
Retaliation (he seeks retaliation against police harrassment)
Inspiration (he seeks inspiration do deal with hardships but finds a substitution)
Substitution
Non-Inclusion (his make shift inspiration is a drug habit that seperates him from his friends & family)
Drug Infusion
Mass Confusion (his world is upside down from drugs)
Delusion
Solution (the solution and conclusion is inspiration...Let the drummer kick, music, art, literature, etc)
Conclusion
