Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
you said you were standing in the door when i gave you a look
but i can't believe how long that took
you swear you didn't know, but i don't think it's true
'cause anybody could tell i was crazy for you
but i must confess that i tried my best
but i paid for that pizza and i lied about it
i didn't want you to think that i wasn't cool
i didn't want you to think i bought dinner for you
and those first nights were great
we stayed up so late
we had different opinions on each other's intentions
in the park on our second date
i brought you flowers that i found in a dumpster
and i thought for sure this would make it clear to you
but you still swear you just thought i was nice
how much more does a boy have to do?
you came to my house everyday
we danced through the rooms and i couldn't feel my pain
that night i knew that i should make my move
but according to you, you still had no clue
i just want to make it clear
that i'm in love with you, my dear
and i been this way since the first time i saw you
and i'm telling the truth i swear
but i can't believe how long that took
you swear you didn't know, but i don't think it's true
'cause anybody could tell i was crazy for you
but i must confess that i tried my best
but i paid for that pizza and i lied about it
i didn't want you to think that i wasn't cool
i didn't want you to think i bought dinner for you
and those first nights were great
we stayed up so late
we had different opinions on each other's intentions
in the park on our second date
i brought you flowers that i found in a dumpster
and i thought for sure this would make it clear to you
but you still swear you just thought i was nice
how much more does a boy have to do?
you came to my house everyday
we danced through the rooms and i couldn't feel my pain
that night i knew that i should make my move
but according to you, you still had no clue
i just want to make it clear
that i'm in love with you, my dear
and i been this way since the first time i saw you
and i'm telling the truth i swear

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.
