to be honest i think you're both wrong, if it was simply about bad parenting how do you explain the final verse? I do think its about bad parenting, but mainly about the problems facing the youth today, one of the samples says "Adults create the world children live in it" Its kind of a mochery on society and how (especially now) society always criticizes the youth for delinquencey and such when it is ultimately society (adults) and the government's fault so when kids are not taught what is really good much like today where kids are mainly just brought up to fit into society and make money, thus comes the resistance part, and the ultimate message i think is that if things dont change society will collapse
@gdawg31 It's interpretations according to the interpreters point of reference. So saying that someone is wrong in their interpretation is inappropriate and disrespectful. Even if the artist told me what he or she meant, I will dismiss it and go with my own understanding of the lyrics to fit my emotions at the time of listening. So...Am just reading comments to find an interpretation that matches mine. If I don't find it, I will still stick to mine bcos that is the only way to pin emotions and lyrics to enjoy the song.
