This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
When i was young
I didn't know
That waking up
Would be so slow,
In the bed
Or in the floor.
I called you up,
You came here,
But gave up before
The new year.
I don't know
What i was hoping for.
I'm glad i lost
Again. Its true
That when you win
You can't do
Anything after.
But now whats
Left to do
Other than
Everything new
Except for better.
I knew
Your hands were tied
But you told me
To still try
To set you free
And let you go.
You said you loved me,
Its so unfair.
You loved your captive
More than you cared,
You should have at least
Let me know or Let it show.
Wait around
For the clock;
Expected sound,
I know it wont
Cause things never turn out
The way you want it to.
Too tired
For true love,
Too awake
For giving up.
No Love
Is better than nothing.
I didn't know
That waking up
Would be so slow,
In the bed
Or in the floor.
I called you up,
You came here,
But gave up before
The new year.
I don't know
What i was hoping for.
I'm glad i lost
Again. Its true
That when you win
You can't do
Anything after.
But now whats
Left to do
Other than
Everything new
Except for better.
I knew
Your hands were tied
But you told me
To still try
To set you free
And let you go.
You said you loved me,
Its so unfair.
You loved your captive
More than you cared,
You should have at least
Let me know or Let it show.
Wait around
For the clock;
Expected sound,
I know it wont
Cause things never turn out
The way you want it to.
Too tired
For true love,
Too awake
For giving up.
No Love
Is better than nothing.

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.
