I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
For all we know
We may never meet again
Before you go, make this moment sweet again
We won't say good night until the last minute
I will hold out my hand
And my heart, my heart will be in it
For all we know
This may only be a dream
We come and we go like a ripple on the stream
So love me tonight, tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come
For all we know
[speaking]
There are so many challenges that our country faces, especially the problems of life in our big cities. so may we all continue to work together toward a kinder and more peaceful world; take care
Ourselves and each other, and i'm really glad that our paths have crossed...
Goodbye for tonight, remember it now and then
Someday we may meet again
For all we know
Oooo...there's no telling where or when
For all we know...
[speaking] thank you so much! thank you!
Well, this has been an unforgettable experience for me...nowhere on my tour have i been so warmly welcomed, than in the greatest place in the world, my home town, New York city! and there are so
People here tonight! just, just imagine how boring life would be if we were all the same! and my idea of a perfect world is one in which we really appreciate each other's differences... short/
Democrat/republican, black/white, gay/straight...a world in which all of us are equal, but definitely not the same, right? hello times square! thank you New York!

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
