JD

This song pays homage to cultural icon James Dean, who was seen as a cultural symbol of teenage rebellion and disillusionment, starring in movies such as “Rebel Without a Cause.” Rocky identifies with him and might want to proceed with his life on a similar road. Rocky refers to himself as “the black James Dean.” The song also touches on James Dean’s cursed car “Little Bastard”, which is known to have killed and hurt many that come in contact with the remains that still existed after James' accident. Rocky adopts the very reckless behavior that “Little Bastard” allegedly manifested.
