Most of the ancestors of the people who reside in the Caribbean came here by Boat.Playing off the European (you’re ah peeing) line earlier,it’s evident that if we aren’t the shit,we must be some very close variation of it,we’re THE SHIP.American’s speak about slavery but most Caribbean natives ancestors suffered immense atrocities far worse than there’s (not competing) so we too should be taken very seriously and be respected!
Also note the Boat analogies:-
WE THE SHIP
STERN-Rear of boat
BOW-Front of boat
Anchor-Part that keeps boat grounded
In keeping with that he goes back to the Morgan Freeman Lean on me reference as it pans into them being additional weight that’s keeping this boat grounded…which of course he won’t allow

(Origin of line)
If you’re American when you go into the bathroom, and you’re American when you come out of the bathroom, what are you while you are in the bathroom?
European (you’re a-peein')
#HAHAHAHA
{this line is in no way meant to offend any Europeans}
Basically it’s like if you can’t get a whole bread be happy with half a bread….so if you’re not what people class as being “The shit” don’t be discouraged,it must just mean “You’re ah peeing”…if you’re not #1 then you’re #2

Lean on me is the 1989 film that propelled then actor Morgan Freeman into the spotlight about a principle who with the aide of his teachers turned the life of an entire school around. Similar to those students people often lean on him for assistance but last time he checked he isn’t God (Morgan Freeman)

He is focused on the path ahead but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have aspirations as to where the pathway leads. As with all humans he dreams of greater things and hopes to one day fulfill the human desire to find meaning and purpose to his life

The classic song by Junior Murvin “Cool out Son” has numerous gems one can use in it to guide you everyday life. But it kicks off by saying “Son don’t put yuh hat where you can’t reach it” which is basically like saying don’t put yourself into situations where you cannot get yourself out.It stresses the importance of patience. And so he places his ‘metaphoric’ cap to the back of him allowing him to properly see the path that is in front of him
I confess myself disappointed....
You told me you would be nothing like them....
That you would be different...
That you would not care about followers....
About the clothes on your back!
The clothes you wear....
The shoes on your feet...how many friends you have!
HOW MANY FOLLOWERS YOU HAVE!
Is that what matters....is that what you care about?
Is that what means something to you?
That means nothing to us....
To us this is just vanity...
Vanity is not allowed where we are from...
Where we are from we are warriors
Warriors who take everything and give them nothing.....
TAKE EVERYTHING!!!!!! Xeezy – Surely Fail

Basically it’s the voice inside,his conscience voicing it’s disappointment in the choices made. Reminding him that he had promised to not submit to the ideals that everyday people place on themselves. For instance placing value in clothing,the cost of clothing,how many friends he has hon social media sites such as Facebook,Twitter or BBM…is this the things he’s decided to place value in,as opposed to being a better human being and truthful to himself.
