The song, written by Mac Davis, decries the endless cycle of poverty and crime in the low-income urban areas of the country. It describes how a young boy, born into poverty, eventually loses his life after becoming part of a lawless gang culture. At the song's end, as the young man is shot and dies, another baby boy (his son?) is born, with the very real possibility that the same fate awaits him. One original title of the song was "The Vicious Circle."
