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.
Her body is a torture weapon in disguise
From my view
She knows that she's a liar
Said she'd never give into desire
Darling, I am on fire
Don't you let me go, let me go, let me go
Her body's so dramatic
My heart is automatic
Come on over, give it to me
Come on come on
Why you fighting it?
Come on come on
There's no use hiding
'Cause I know you'll be coming back for more
Tear my lips right at the seam
Shut your eyes so you can't see me seething
It's easy just to let go of everything you keep
Your secret's safe with me
Trust me
I am on fire
Don't you let me go, let me go, let me go
Her body's so dramatic
My heart is automatic
Come on over, give it to me
Come on come on
Why you fighting it?
Come on come on
There's no use hiding
'Cause I know you'll be coming back for more
Dance with me, dance with me, come on baby
Won't you dance with me, dance with me?
Come on d-d-d-d-dance with me, dance with me, come on baby
Won't you dance with me, dance with me?
Come on and dance
Her body's so dramatic
My heart is automatic
Come on over, give it to me
Come on come on
Why you fighting it?
Come on come on
There's no use hiding
'Cause I know you'll be coming back, yeah
I know you'll be coming back for more
From my view
She knows that she's a liar
Said she'd never give into desire
Darling, I am on fire
Don't you let me go, let me go, let me go
Her body's so dramatic
My heart is automatic
Come on over, give it to me
Come on come on
Why you fighting it?
Come on come on
There's no use hiding
'Cause I know you'll be coming back for more
Tear my lips right at the seam
Shut your eyes so you can't see me seething
It's easy just to let go of everything you keep
Your secret's safe with me
Trust me
I am on fire
Don't you let me go, let me go, let me go
Her body's so dramatic
My heart is automatic
Come on over, give it to me
Come on come on
Why you fighting it?
Come on come on
There's no use hiding
'Cause I know you'll be coming back for more
Dance with me, dance with me, come on baby
Won't you dance with me, dance with me?
Come on d-d-d-d-dance with me, dance with me, come on baby
Won't you dance with me, dance with me?
Come on and dance
Her body's so dramatic
My heart is automatic
Come on over, give it to me
Come on come on
Why you fighting it?
Come on come on
There's no use hiding
'Cause I know you'll be coming back, yeah
I know you'll be coming back for more
