You know when I’m coming home
You know when I’m coming to bed
You know when I tell you that I love you
I mean every word I said

You know I’m a bit too proud
You know that I know how to pray
You know I won’t give this up unless I have to give it up
You know I won’t walk away

But baby you’re like a diesel truck
Shifting gears and the pedals stuck
Headed straight to the edge and showing no signs of slowing
And I don’t have the luxury of knowing

You know that I like to dance
But only when I’m dancing with you
You know I must be bad at lying
Cuz I’ve only ever told you the truth

But just when I think you’re a hurricane
You freeze right over and all that rain
Turns to ice and your whole world just starts snowing
And I don’t have the luxury of knowing

Damn it must be easy
Being in love with someone so blind
Cuz - I’ll tell you right now the only thing I really know
Is that you might change your mind
Any day you could change your mind

You know when I’m coming home
You know when I’m coming to bed

Repeat chorus

And I don’t have the luxury of knowing
You know that I’m a bit too proud
You know that I know how to pray

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
