If you're unable to figure that one out, then I'll let you wallow in your own curiosity. |

So you have no answer and instead are being purposefully obtuse...
Whatever gets you through the day, dude. |

I think the song writer is criticizing the ridiculous dress style of American youth. True, the dress style was started by the black/ghetto community, but nowadays the style of pants on the ground/hat turned sideways is almost everywhere in the world including right here in Korea and right here in my own home.
I have almost given up on telling my son to wear a belt and pull his pants up. I asked him the other day where I could buy one of those hats with the visor on the side. He didn't get the joke. |

Think...
Who wears their pants on the ground?
Who has a mouth full of gold?
Who wears their hat sideways talking down town?
I will spell it out for you (some) b.l.a.c.k. people (said in a whisper) |

It's Dave's ESL. Some (white?) people here get tired of talking about dumb &#&$ their Korean girlfriends say and how racist Korean men are. |

Kabrams, your comment reminds me of the old 1960's beach-blanket movies where some guy would put a wooden block on his shoulder and dare others to try and knock it off. |
