Lyrics
My Dad is bigger than your Dad
Comparing fathers, suggesting superiority
He runs the world and he's so bad
Father's influence and power in the world
He's got two airplanes and a yacht
Listing father's extravagant possessions
Well there ain't nothing he ain't got
Emphasis on father's abundance
But he don't see me having fun
Feeling overlooked by father
Caus I'm free on my skateboard
Expressing freedom on a skateboard
When I'm flying the world gets ignored
Skateboarding as a means of escape and focus
It's just me and my little black skateboard
Personal attachment to skateboard
Well I wouldn't give it up for anything in this world
Commitment to skateboard despite worldly temptations
The old man loves his success
Father's affection for success
But more and more becomes less and less
Decline in satisfaction despite success
I've seen him command a thousand men
Illustrating father's commanding nature
Be nice to see him smile now and again
Desire for father's happiness
He's a slave to his money
Father's entrapment by wealth
But I'm free on my skateboard
Reiteration of personal freedom through skateboarding
When I'm Flying the world gets ignored
Skateboarding as an escape from the world
It's just me and my little black skateboard
Emotional attachment to skateboard
And I wouldn't give it up for anything in this world
Unwavering dedication to skateboard despite riches
He never stops to smell the flowers
Father's lack of appreciation for life's simple joys
He's fully engaged with all his might and power
Father's total commitment to work and power
From the cradle to the grave
Life viewed as a continuous obligation
I thought he was a duty slave
Misjudgment of father's life by the speaker
To busy working to escape
Belief that father was consumed by work
But that was my mistake
Realization of misunderstanding regarding father
I taught him how to have fun
Teaching father to enjoy life
And now he's free on his skateboard
Father's newfound freedom through skateboarding
When he's riding It all gets ignored
Skateboarding as a liberating act for father
It's just him and his little black skateboard
Father's affection for his skateboard
And he wouldn't give it up for anything in this world
Father's commitment to skateboard despite wealth
Now he's free on his skateboard
Reiteration of father's freedom through skateboarding
When he's riding It all gets ignored
Skateboarding as an escape for father despite wealth
It's just him and his diamond studded skateboard
Symbolic upgrade of skateboard, still invaluable
And he wouldn't give it up for anything in this world
Continued dedication to the skateboard despite upgrades
