Yea man, all praises Holy One, Selassie I
Yea man, I say the Conquerin' Lion
Of the Tribe of Judah, you know

I say bring down all evil conception
And all false and fake government in this Island
Yea man, I show dem fire bun dem politics

Rasta bless your little and the much whey you have
Yo, it is ah earth struggle ghetto youths uno fi trod
Life for all your efforts how could you go do no bad

And dem selection fi push up fi some finger
Tell the youths lift up dem hand to Ethiopia
Crocodile government, you get the power

Tell dem say the fruit of knowledge

Let the righteous man be exceedingly glad
Rasta bless the youths them with the little whey dem have, yo
Earth struggle ghetto youth uno fi trod
And life for all your efforts how could you go do no bad

Let the righteous ghetto youths be exceedingly glad
Rasta bless the youhts, dem with the little whey dem have
Whoa earth struggle ghetto youths uno fi trod
Whoa oh redder judgment yea, yea

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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
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.
