This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I'm at the beginning sweating
In the grip of the lion's jaw
I'm rolling my small town over
I'm watching these buildings fall
Once, twice and it's dead
Pull the trigger, make the bed
They carried the body down Broadway
Held high above their heads
Old men sweat and pray
At peace or just at the end
So are we the torturer's horse
Pulling in duty or confusion
"But we got it straight from the source"
"Well first it went through the blood and the venom"
And that poison ran its course
When we thought the world was small
In my city
Not every church a steeple
But every man
A cross to bear
In the grip of the lion's jaw
I'm rolling my small town over
I'm watching these buildings fall
Once, twice and it's dead
Pull the trigger, make the bed
They carried the body down Broadway
Held high above their heads
Old men sweat and pray
At peace or just at the end
So are we the torturer's horse
Pulling in duty or confusion
"But we got it straight from the source"
"Well first it went through the blood and the venom"
And that poison ran its course
When we thought the world was small
In my city
Not every church a steeple
But every man
A cross to bear

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.
