I can't tell if I'm a kingpin or a pauper

from Red Hot Chili Peppers – Give It Away Lyrics on Rap Genius

He’s so lost within the rhythm of this funky trance that he’s not sure who he is. He poetically juxtaposes a kingpin (somebody high up on a hierachy, or a central figure) with a pauper (a poor person) to portray how he feels at this moment.
When you become freed from the burdens of chasing money and possessions, issues of social status/money that used to be a big deal don’t matter anymore.
