Do you even know what the song is about? It's a racial song...
Raised your neighborhood insurance rates ---> Insurance rates going up b/c blacks are moving in...
Makes us happy 'livin in a gate --> Gated community where typically blacks aren't allowed or can't afford to move into.
Made me cross the street the other day --> Back in the day, if a white person was walking down the street and a white person was heading towards him/her, they had to cross the street out of the white person's way.
" Chocolate Rain
Makes the best of friends begin to fight
Chocolate Rain
But did they know each other in the light?" --------> Racism... Does the one friend really know how his/her friend feels about blacks.
" Every February washed away" ----> February is black history month. He's saying that giving us one month out of the year (which happens to be the shortest month) supposedly makes everything else better.
" Chocolate Rain
The same crime has a higher price to pay
chocolate Rain
The judge and jury swear it's not the face" ----> White man goes to court and gets probation for selling 10 kilos of cocaine but a black man gets 10 years for having an ounce in his car. Read the papers if you don't think it happens.
