Default I'm feelin' slightin'

Hi out there.
Could anybody please enlighten me as to what
Now we're fussin'
And now we're fightin'
Please tell me why
I'm feelin' slightin'



(taken from S.Kingston's Beautful girls) actually means.

a) he feels like calling her[his girl,etc] names,etc.
or does
2) he himself feel cheated?

Thank you so much.
