Sounds to me like the life of an artist. Social climbing white society treats artists like scum, unless they happen to be famous and top of the pop-culture table. The guy in this song is struggling with his art, an inability to hold a menial job, the condescending and offensive remarks of his girlfriend's family. She tries to comfort him, but ironically the only thing that keeps him afloat is the same thing that makes him socially unacceptable.
