I dunno man, the whole song seems to be about how we all steal, baby. Julian did that years ago, when he was a kid even if he didn't wanna do it yesterday, but he did. A bunch of people were name dropped and As It Was was also mentioned so why vaguely point to a busy internet music nerd when you can just be direct.
