In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
When I first met you babe
I knew I had to have you
I just wanted you to call
Me your bad boy baby blue
I'm so glad I'll be loving you for ever
It's kind of clever how we ended
Up in this situation
We was working at the snack bar on my vacation admiration infatuation elation we were kickin it for the whole damn summer
From freinds
To best freinds
To part time lovers
Now you're moving in the first date of September
I can remmember when I saw you back in December
It was so cold outside
You was breakin up
And so was I and
Neither one of us wanted to give love a try
But we would talk, talk, laugh and have a ball
But then we got drunk and fooled around and had a booty call
A booty call
Ain't nuthin wrong with a bootycall
Everybody like a bootycall
Now and then
Sing
I can tell that were gonna be freinds
I can tell that were gonna be freinds
now were getting serious
Living together
We've had our ups and downs
But you know that we'd whether the storm
And if we ever had some fights they always ended up in the
Quiet storm, warm in the bedroom
A lil bit of heat
And alittle bit of spice
But no 2 people got along all the time alright
So lets stick together like the Al Green song
Cause you always do make me fell brand new
And ill always be lovin you my baby boo
And only do I think that your sexy as hell,
But your independent, strong willed, hard workin
And I liked cha
You like to step up to the party and
Get down on the dance floor like nobodys business
The finest fish in the whole damn sea swimming with me
Skinny dippin
With me road tripin with me
But know she flippin on me yeah
And I'm gonna tell you that that ain't all
She like to get freaky and fool around and have a booty call
Ain't nothing wrong with the booty call
And do you people want a booty call
Everybody need a booty call
Now and then
Hey babby you know I get off in a bought ten minutes you think you and I can hook up after the show
Sing
I can tell that were gonna be freinds
I can t3ll that were gonna be freinnds
I can tell that were gonna be I can tell that were gonna be
I can tell that were gonna be freinds
Are you ready for the booty call do you people want a booty call
Id bet you'd like a booty call
Everybody need a booty call
You know what I'm sayin
I knew I had to have you

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.

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.
