ok so this tune is well old, its on his greatest hits!!! theres alot of people that like it, i do!!! i think it has deeper meaing than a cab driver not wanting to pick him up, like...errm racism for instance and whats wrong with writing a song thats not about chicks and rock n roll all the time!

He was addressing the complaint that many black youths in New York had, that they could not get cabs to pick them up. Many felt that this was a not-so-subtle racist slight.

Come on... Lenny had three good albums before he started doing too much coke and ego-tripping and lost his brain up some whores ass. I thought his spiritual conversion (when Lisa Bonet got him to cut the dreads) would allow that musical talent to come back... but alas... rolleyes drink
Change it one more time..
