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.
Our love is old school like Mary Jane's
Boston big beans and candy cane's
Exchange you look on a number two train
Run catch kiss sunshine or rain
Jackson 5 good times with Jefferson's
Yeah Baby you know I liked it better when
You lived closer but then you moved
But that couldn't stop our groove
My magic man my Brooklyn boy I wonder
I rub your shoulders and impress that you was under
Late night rides out to sunrise
Catch a flick or two and went back to bedside
You in the bubble goose me in the sheep skin
Cold as hell back then it wasn't mattering
Long as we're hand in hand your my man I'm your girl
Ready to conquer the world
[Chorus]
This is for all the years you've been
My companion as well as my best friend
So tonight Baby I'm giving you what you want
It's all yours
Our love is like a Romeo and Juliet flick
So surreal but yet picturous
There were problems I can admit
But we handled it and still the candles lit
So glad that we didn't just jet
Cause now we reap the benefits
Who would have thought
The cute little boy from down the street
Would fall in love with me
It's like a number one dream come true
To have somebody you love love you
And that's all that matters
Is that we grow together make sure we never
You're the reason I live
Because I want you to get all that I got to give
Long as we're hand in hand your my man I'm your girl
Ready to conquer the world
[Chorus]
Our love is mystical like galaxies you can't touch
Around the world and back again I love you that much
Our love is destiny like Bonnie and Clyde
We'll die bolded side by side
Throughout the day I remain truthful
I keep it tight for you sexy and useful
I told my mom when our days are through
If you have to go first bury me next to you
What I feel is unexplainable, 'I love you'
Just ain't enough to say to you
You've been there from the beginning to the end
My companion as well as my best friend
You got my heart now, here's my life
Yes I'm ready to be your wife
From here one know that your the one
Everything you want it has to be done
[Chorus]
Boston big beans and candy cane's
Exchange you look on a number two train
Run catch kiss sunshine or rain
Jackson 5 good times with Jefferson's
Yeah Baby you know I liked it better when
You lived closer but then you moved
But that couldn't stop our groove
My magic man my Brooklyn boy I wonder
I rub your shoulders and impress that you was under
Late night rides out to sunrise
Catch a flick or two and went back to bedside
You in the bubble goose me in the sheep skin
Cold as hell back then it wasn't mattering
Long as we're hand in hand your my man I'm your girl
Ready to conquer the world
[Chorus]
This is for all the years you've been
My companion as well as my best friend
So tonight Baby I'm giving you what you want
It's all yours
Our love is like a Romeo and Juliet flick
So surreal but yet picturous
There were problems I can admit
But we handled it and still the candles lit
So glad that we didn't just jet
Cause now we reap the benefits
Who would have thought
The cute little boy from down the street
Would fall in love with me
It's like a number one dream come true
To have somebody you love love you
And that's all that matters
Is that we grow together make sure we never
You're the reason I live
Because I want you to get all that I got to give
Long as we're hand in hand your my man I'm your girl
Ready to conquer the world
[Chorus]
Our love is mystical like galaxies you can't touch
Around the world and back again I love you that much
Our love is destiny like Bonnie and Clyde
We'll die bolded side by side
Throughout the day I remain truthful
I keep it tight for you sexy and useful
I told my mom when our days are through

You got my heart now, here's my life
Yes I'm ready to be your wife
From here one know that your the one
Everything you want it has to be done

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
