West wrote in the book Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Story Behind the Song, "It was the first time a rap artist spoke condescendingly about property, possessions like a sports car. People are so concerned with what they have or what other people have instead of what's really important—other people. Things like cars are usually used to show how people make it, but there is nothing more important than home and family."Paine, Jake (November 8, 2009).
