The Narrative is about rascal's dream of getting out of the streets and how he has achieved that dream and is successful. It is a motivational message to tell young people to follow their dreams and too optimistic about their hopes.

The white middle class are represented as an oppressor as the middle class, elderly white woman tells Rascal when he is allowed to come out of his box. This is a physical box, seen in the video, and a metaphorical box as young black people are often limited in what society allows them to do as a career. At the end of the video Dizzie is sent back into his box. Dizzie is also a lot smaller than the woman. Representing his lower place in society. Puppets are in the video in place of normal people. This shows that these people are being controlled by society and aren't able to reach their dreams. One of the puppets also resembles a golliwog. This is Dizzie making reference this a society that looks at black people negatively. The elderly woman also looks disgusted and shocked by Dizzie performance, representing the middle classes dissatisfaction with people like Dizzie not being puppets and becoming successful and following his dreams. Dizzie is the only small person that isn't represented as a puppet which is because he has achieved his dreams and isn't controlled society's ideas of how he should live. The song subverts the message that people can't reach their dreams and that people have to live like what is expected of them by old white society.

White people are represented as narrow minding in this video as the woman isn't understanding of Dizzie's style and she is the one that seems to be in control of the puppets due to her size and her controlling what comes in and out of the box. Interestingly even the police are seen as puppets and just may be because the police blindly follow whatever they are told by society and the white woman represents old society.
