It was about support during the Cold War.

“"Third world" is an outdated and often pejorative Cold War-era term originally used to describe countries not aligned with the US (First World) or the Soviet Union (Second World).”

Close but wrong, it was the alignment during the cold war:

  • First World: USA & allies
  • Second World: USSR & allies
  • Third World: non-aligned

Quoting J-Live, "World's Apart"

Verse 2

They say the old world brought up a new world order

And ran up in the third world and divvied up borders

Tribes were divided by countries that were thought up

Economically held back and never caught up

Power corrupts and the oppressed get slaughtered

Mothers and fathers'll lose sons and daughters

Brothers and sisters denied human rights

And can't even guarentee themselves clean drinking water

First world speaker, second world spoken to

Third world who they conversatin' about

Hardly even got a voice in the conversation

So the words fall on deaf ears and get drowned out

But uh, speaking as the first person, I can't take it

Speaking to the second person, you on some snake shit

Speaking for the third person, they ain't gon' make it

But who are we to talk 'cause it's really our fault

They say the opposite of love is not hate, it's apathy

So lack of self-love ain't self-hate, it's apathy

We so desensitized by travesty and tragedy

How we supposed to realize humanity's majesty
