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.
Everybody's looking at me
But it's alright, I like attention
The club's not hot until I walk through
They stop and stare and watch me move
Like "Damn, I like that"
I'm sexy and you know it
Clap your hands
Oh, it's like that
I'm not afraid to show it, understand?
Yeah, I'm hot, bitch
Don't be mad at me go check your man
[Bridge]
Girls and boys are looking at me
I can't blame 'em 'cause I'm sexy, ow!
[Chorus]
Don't care who's watching me
I do just what I want
Just cause I dance with you
Don't mean you're getting some
Don't get excited baby
Cause I might turn you on
Turn you on, turn you out
Give 'em something to write about
All the boys are looking up at me
As I dance on the table top
Tonight I'll be their liquid dreams
They want a piece of what I got
Damn I like that
She's sexy and she's shaking over me
She's hot and I can't take her
I need a drink
I'm hot yeah
She's cooler than I ever thought she'd be
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Don't dance too close, I might turn you on
Don't try to impress me, my papers no
Don't believe all that you read my ish out loud
We can dance all night but you ain't getting none, none
Sorry I turned you on
Take a cold shower when you get home
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
But it's alright, I like attention
The club's not hot until I walk through
They stop and stare and watch me move
Like "Damn, I like that"
I'm sexy and you know it
Clap your hands
Oh, it's like that
I'm not afraid to show it, understand?
Yeah, I'm hot, bitch
Don't be mad at me go check your man
[Bridge]
Girls and boys are looking at me
I can't blame 'em 'cause I'm sexy, ow!
[Chorus]
Don't care who's watching me
I do just what I want
Just cause I dance with you
Don't mean you're getting some
Don't get excited baby
Cause I might turn you on
Turn you on, turn you out
Give 'em something to write about
All the boys are looking up at me
As I dance on the table top
Tonight I'll be their liquid dreams
They want a piece of what I got
Damn I like that
She's sexy and she's shaking over me
She's hot and I can't take her
I need a drink
I'm hot yeah
She's cooler than I ever thought she'd be
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Don't dance too close, I might turn you on
Don't try to impress me, my papers no
Don't believe all that you read my ish out loud
We can dance all night but you ain't getting none, none
Sorry I turned you on
Take a cold shower when you get home
[Bridge]

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.
