The song is about a young boy who's brother was killed by a gang. He went on a spree and killed thousands of gang members by pretending to be a drug dealer, dressing up in a suit, and meeting the gangs then pulling the gun on them. But the cops didnt stop him for a long time because gangs were the main problem of the city and by killing them he solved many problems for the cops. Finally they couldn't let it go on any longer and caught him and he spent the rest of his life in prison. Also the song explains that his father might have been abusive and he killed him too. But it also hints many things about how the boy might have felt but it didnt give the main reason why he went on a spree. Pumped up kicks are a type of Basketball shoes that many gang members favor. The song says that his dad came home with a surprise it most likely means that he came home drunk and was going to beat him. His food packed in ice means that he had to take care of hisself and the father neglected him. He debated the situation and most likely decided it was time to get revenge on his abusive father and avenge his dead brother. The boy's name was Robert.
