 When listening to this song, it is very upbeat. A get up and dance song, but the lyrics, not so much. A teen, with his dads gun, is thinking of chasing kids that are wearing Reebok pump shoes. Expensive shoes that mostly "popular" kids had.

This is a metaphor comparing the main character going crazy to his hair being on fire and him losing his wits.
