This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Hanging around is holding me down
I'm starting to frown at everyone I see,
I'm taking the calls and playing the halls,
But staring at walls is all I ever see
So is the money I make
Worth the price that I pay?
Can I make it to the end of the line?
Don't the wind blow cold
When you're hanging your soul
On the line?
And you're driving to work
You're wearing your shirt
You're dialing the dirt
With everyone you see
You're taking a loss,
You envy the boss,
You're counting the cost
Of everything you see
[Chorus]
But is the money you make
Worth the price that you pay?
Can you make it at the end of the line?
Don't the wind blow cold
When you're hanging your soul
On the line?
Oh, and you know that it's true
That I've watched you go far
Playing guitar
Being a star
For everyone to see
And I'm filming my dreams
From limousines
And thinking of scenes
For everyone to see
[Chorus]
I'm starting to frown at everyone I see,
I'm taking the calls and playing the halls,
But staring at walls is all I ever see
So is the money I make
Worth the price that I pay?
Can I make it to the end of the line?
Don't the wind blow cold
When you're hanging your soul
On the line?
And you're driving to work
You're wearing your shirt
You're dialing the dirt
With everyone you see
You're taking a loss,
You envy the boss,
You're counting the cost
Of everything you see
[Chorus]
But is the money you make
Worth the price that you pay?
Can you make it at the end of the line?
Don't the wind blow cold
When you're hanging your soul
On the line?
Oh, and you know that it's true
That I've watched you go far
Playing guitar
Being a star
For everyone to see
And I'm filming my dreams
From limousines
And thinking of scenes
For everyone to see
[Chorus]

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.
