The whole song revolves around the mentality of hard work and effort. How simply having good ideas or wanting to do things is not enough, and how you should not be too proud to start from the bottom and work your way to the top. He even gives some personal details about the lives and struggles of his parents and his upbringing, giving us background as to why he thinks the way he does. This is an important song in the album as the album title “The Good Fight” is referenced here in the third verse.
