This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Here we go
They say
He do a little this
He do a little that
He always in trouble (and I heard)
He ain't nothin' but a pimp
He's done a lot of chicks
He's always in the club (and they say)
He think he slick
He's got a lot of chips
He's sellin' them drugs (and I heard)
He's been locked up
Find somebody else
He ain't nothin' but a thug
So what?
So what?
So what?
So what?
And they say
I'm a slut, I'm a hoe, I'm a freak
I got a different girl everyday of the week
You're too smart, you'd be a dummy to believe
That stuff that you heard that they say about me
They say that I'm this
They say that I'm that
But all of it's fiction
None of i'ts fact
But you don't be hearin' it about your love
You let it go in one ear and out the other
Now he say, she say, they say, I heard
It be fake, we can't let it get on our nerves
She miserable, she just want you to be like her
Misery needs company
So don't listen to that vine of grapes
They're nothin' but liars hatin'
I bet they wouldn't mind tradin' places
With you by my side in my Mercedes
They say
He do a little this
He do a little that
He always in trouble (and I heard)
He ain't nothin' but a pimp
He's done a lot of chicks
He's always in the club (and they say)
He think he slick
He's got a lot of chips
He's sellin' them drugs (and I heard)
He's been locked up
Find somebody else
He ain't nothin' but a thug
So what?
So what?
So what?
So what?
Mo' money mo' problems
Life of a legend
Haters throw salt like rice at a weddin'
So what, that's your cousin?
That don't mean nothin'
Her like missin' is a type of affection you get
You just blind to the facts
See the lies are just obvious as cries for attention
Yield to the blindness to apply your suspicion
But listen, say you love me, gotta trust me
Why you stress this high school mess?
Break up never, they just jealous
Drama from your mother, mean mug from your brother
I'm that author of the book they can judge from the cover
(Yes) I been to jail, and
(Yes) I'm grindin' for real, and
I'm a positive they talkin' negative pimp
They hate to see you doin' better than them
So
They say
He do a little this
He do a little that
He always in trouble (and I heard)
He ain't nothin' but a pimp
He's done a lot of chicks
He's always in the club (and they say)
He think he slick
He's got a lot of chips
He's sellin' them drugs (and I heard)
He's been locked up
Find somebody else
He ain't nothin' but a thug
So what?
So what?
So what?

'Cause you hang out in the street
But you're my boyfriend

Some people don't like it
'Cause you hang out in the street

And I don't care what they say

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.
