This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
See that broken hearted man
Toiling in the burning sun
Disappointed African
Doesn't even over stand
After so many years of sweat and tears
Still he's living in fear
Wondering if and when
He's gonna have his share
Well, guess what's happening
A new day's dawning
See the black son's rising
Soon he will be free
See that poor disgruntled youth
Trying his best to know the truth
Why his ancestors have died
From those all who robbed and ruled
So many years of blood and stain
Still he's working in vain
Wondering if and when
He'll ever have his share
Well, guess what's happening
A new day's dawning
I see a new horizon
Soon he will be free
How could life be so unfair
He wonders how some get out there
Sitting in their rocking chair
While he's living in despair
After so many years of sweat and tears
Still he's living in fear
Wondering if and when
He's gonna have his share
Guess what's happening
I see a new day's dawning
I see the table is turning
Soon he will be free, yo, ho, ho
Guess what's happening
A new day's dawning
I see the table is turning
Soon he will be free, yo, ho, ho
Guess what's happening
I see the table is turning
See a new horizon
Soon he will be free
Guess what's happening
I see a new day's dawning
Toiling in the burning sun
Disappointed African
Doesn't even over stand
After so many years of sweat and tears
Still he's living in fear
Wondering if and when
He's gonna have his share
Well, guess what's happening
A new day's dawning
See the black son's rising
Soon he will be free
See that poor disgruntled youth
Trying his best to know the truth
Why his ancestors have died
From those all who robbed and ruled
So many years of blood and stain
Still he's working in vain
Wondering if and when
He'll ever have his share
Well, guess what's happening
A new day's dawning
I see a new horizon
Soon he will be free
How could life be so unfair
He wonders how some get out there
Sitting in their rocking chair
While he's living in despair
After so many years of sweat and tears
Still he's living in fear
Wondering if and when
He's gonna have his share
Guess what's happening
I see a new day's dawning
I see the table is turning
Soon he will be free, yo, ho, ho
Guess what's happening
A new day's dawning
I see the table is turning
Soon he will be free, yo, ho, ho
Guess what's happening
I see the table is turning
See a new horizon
Soon he will be free
Guess what's happening
I see a new day's dawning

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
