A second-class citizen is a person who is systematically discriminated against within a state or other political jurisdiction, despite their nominal status as a citizen or legal resident there. While not necessarily slaves, outlaws or criminals, second-class citizens have limited legal rights, civil rights and socioeconomic opportunities, and are often subject to mistreatment or neglect at the hands of their putative superiors. Instead of being protected by the law, the law disregards a second-class citizen, or it may actually be used to harass them (see police misconduct and racial profiling). Systems with de facto second-class citizenry are generally regarded as violating human rights. Typical impediments facing second-class citizens include, but are not limited to, disenfranchisement (a lack or loss of voting rights), limitations on civil or military service (not including conscription in every case), as well as restrictions on language, religion, education, freedom of movement and association, weapons ownership, marriage, gender identity and expression, housing and property ownership.
Second class generally indicates a secondary level of service or importance. More specific, it may refer to:

How would you feel if you had been living in a foreign country for 15 years, worked among that county's people, spoke their language, had interpersonal relationships with some of those people yet everyday you were treated like a child and looked at like a fresh-off-the-boat "gaijin" (foreigner). It's not one specific incident that hurts you but more like death buy a thousand paper cuts. Well, I already understand that this is the way a majority of the people here are going to treat me and experience by experience I become better equipped at dealing with these situations. I have no problem now confronting these kinds of people on their bullsh!t. Yes, you may think it's harsh, but I think it's helpful. Sometimes people need a shocking experience to realize what they're doing. As a final d...

It lives in a castle, away from the people
Gentlemen kill the jury now say well lets go
I can't stop leaving the lights on
I can't stop leaving the lights on.
The weight of the sea is gonna crush me, finally!
Its honest i know, so everybody lose control!
Im awake in the world of a second class citizen,
Approach with caution (then) lead me into chaos.
Awake in the world of a military prison,
The sound is breaking every door down in this complex
Wrecked in a mansion, awake with the fevers.
The taps and the clicks around me
That say "go", so lets go.
I can't stop leaving the lights on
I can't stop leaving the lights on
The weight of the sea is gonna kill me, finally!
Its honest I know, so everybody lose control!
Im awake in the world of a second class citizen,
Approach with caution (then) lead me into chaos.
Awake in the world of a military prison,
The sound is breaking every door down in this complex.
There's nothing safe about these pills that we take,
