The song Guttersnipe by Taboo is a conversation between two individuals, George and Marilyn, who despite the odds stacked against them, believe in their own ability to achieve fame and fortune. They exchange their dreams and aspirations with each other, both craving the finer things in life such as limousines, tea at the Ritz, and even wanting to meet famous personalities like Diana Ross and Eddie Kidd.
The song's title "Guttersnipe" is a term used to describe a child who grows up in the street or the lower-class society. The lyrics "I can see the stars from the gutter" allude to the fact that even those from less privileged backgrounds may aim high and achieve success. By recognizing each other's potential and urging one another not to give up, they both acknowledge that there is greatness within them and are determined to reach it.
The song can serve as an inspiration, as well as an excellent reminder, that we should never underestimate the power of self-belief, determination, and the support of others. It's a reiteration that success is not limited to certain people or classes, but it's open to anyone who is willing to dream big and work hard to make those dreams a reality.
