| u guys are right. ive heard that jahred has said that growing up as a half black/half brazilian kid and being the only kid of color in his school inspired his thoughts and feelings conveyed in this song. | |

| The song meaning is about, at least at parts, racism. Lines like "It never occured to me that skin could determine identity" and then going onto singing "I don't give a ****, never did never will" is his way of stating that skin color shouldn't matter. On a side note, if you haven't heard this song yet, listen to it. It is, in my opinion, (hed)pe's best song, and the lyrics alone don't do it justice. | |

| This song is all about skin color determining a person's identity and how he rebels against that stereotype because as he says, "The choices I made were mine! And I don't mind I rise to the top like cream!" (contrasting the white of cream with the black of his skin) MCUD's lyrics continue to amaze me...oh yeah, and on a side note, the first time I saw them live, he pointed at me for the "sexy little girl" part, great memory for me... And he also mentions the anger of black youth... "Young people sayin' "they ain't havin' it" So? they takin' shit They breakin' shit They tired of the status quo Fittin' to rape yo' shit!" He's explaining that all of their ignorant actions like rape and riots come from anger and an inability to express it in an artistic way, like he has his music | |

| I think "Darky" was the nickname given to him by the other kids in school because of him being the only black kid in school. not sure though. P.s: it's "One foot in the moon, one foot in a cave" 1 | |

| Wow, you are deep! Lines like "It never occured to me that skin could determine identity" and then going onto singing "I don't give a ****, never did never will" is his way of stating that skin color shouldn't matter. "His way?" What deep lyrics! He just comes out and says it. | |
