tUnE-yArDs IS 'GANGSTA'

This song is a commentary on white people trying to fit into subcultures dominated by minorities, African Americans and Jamaicans, respectively. It’s summarized well in the line,
 
Move into his neighborhood, he’ll never make a sound  
It’s referring to the lack of solidarity many of these white posers have with the actual problems of the minorities they are trying to identify with. For instance, gentrification and the disintegration of their historic neighborhoods.
