It's just another day in the rat race
The same as yesterday
I want that Sweet Pilgrim Baptist Church
Just standin' in the way
And is there anything that can
Take away my pain?
Well, this world I can't control
Lord knows I feel ashamed
As I wallow in my sin
I'm wonderin' how I ended up this way
But that Sweet Pilgrim Baptist Church
Can wash my sins away
And I say, sidewalk angel save my soul
The concrete devil's tryin' to take control
Sidewalk angel save my soul
You see that old concrete devil is tryin' to take control
I like to fly above my consequences
And try to find my way
And see if that Sweet Pilgrim Baptist Church
Can wash my sins away
I'm just a sittin' here
Waitin' for Judgment Day
But that Sweet Pilgrim Baptist Church
Is a tellin' me to pray
And they say, sidewalk angel save my soul
That old concrete devil?s tryin' to take control
Come on, sidewalk angel save my soul
You see that concrete devil?s tryin' to take control
Well, I walk the streets with no direction
To find a piece of pure perfection
Now, it don't matter what it is
I'm just tryin' to make a connection with
Sidewalk angel save my soul
That old concrete devil's tryin' to take control
You know, sidewalk angel save my soul
You see that concrete devil's tryin' to take control
C'mon, sidewalk angel save my soul
You see that concrete devil's tryin' to take control
C'mon, sidewalk angel save my soul
See that concrete devil's tryin' to take control
The same as yesterday
I want that Sweet Pilgrim Baptist Church
Just standin' in the way
And is there anything that can
Take away my pain?
Well, this world I can't control
Lord knows I feel ashamed
As I wallow in my sin
I'm wonderin' how I ended up this way
But that Sweet Pilgrim Baptist Church
Can wash my sins away
And I say, sidewalk angel save my soul
The concrete devil's tryin' to take control
Sidewalk angel save my soul
You see that old concrete devil is tryin' to take control
I like to fly above my consequences
And try to find my way
And see if that Sweet Pilgrim Baptist Church
Can wash my sins away
I'm just a sittin' here
Waitin' for Judgment Day
But that Sweet Pilgrim Baptist Church
Is a tellin' me to pray
And they say, sidewalk angel save my soul
That old concrete devil?s tryin' to take control
Come on, sidewalk angel save my soul
You see that concrete devil?s tryin' to take control
Well, I walk the streets with no direction
To find a piece of pure perfection
Now, it don't matter what it is
I'm just tryin' to make a connection with
Sidewalk angel save my soul
That old concrete devil's tryin' to take control
You know, sidewalk angel save my soul
You see that concrete devil's tryin' to take control
C'mon, sidewalk angel save my soul
You see that concrete devil's tryin' to take control
C'mon, sidewalk angel save my soul
See that concrete devil's tryin' to take control

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
