The song describes the singer’s life before he becomes popular and the life he has now. The two situations is very different. Before he becomes popular, he is poor, did illegal things and stayed in jail. No girl likes him and nobody cares him. But after him becoming a singer, he is popular now and everything becomes different. He can have all the good things, big house, expensive drinks, cars, girls and party all night. He used to be the lower one in the society but now the white serves he.
He worked hard to become a popular singer. He didn’t give up his dream, even in the jail. So finally, he realized his dream and turns into a successful hip pop singer. This is one of the ideas in the American Dream, as long as you keep your dream and working hard on it, one day you will realize it. Everybody can become better in the society because everyone is free. They have the right to do whatever they want to do, and everyone has equal opportunities to become a better person and having better life.
