This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
She's been down and out
She's been wrote about
She's been talked about constantly
She's been up and down
She's been pushed around
But they held her down, N-Y-C
She has no regrets
She accepts the past
All these things they helped make to make she
She's been lost and found
And she's still around
There's a reason for everything, yeah
You know I've been holdin' on
Try to make me weak
But I still stay strong (yeah)
Put my life all up in these songs
Just so you can feel me
So you can get the real me
So take me as I am (take me as I am)
Or have nothing at all (nothing at all)
Just take me as I am
Or have nothing at all (at all)
Yes, she's older now
Yes, she's wiser now
Can't disguise her now
She don't need
No one tellin' her
What to do and say
No one tellin' her
Who to be
She's on solid ground
She's been lost and found
Now she answers to G-O-D
And she's confident
This is not the end
Ask me how I know
'Cause she is me
You know I've been holdin' on (I've been holdin' on)
Tried to make me weak
But I still stay strong (stay strong)
Put my life all up in these songs
Just so you can feel me
So you can get the real me
So take me as I am
Or have nothing at all (nothing at all, at all)
Just take me as I am (as I am)
Or have nothing at all (or nothing, baby)
This is me, this is me
So it's all or nothing at all
All or nothing at all
Don't you know I can only be me
I can only be me (yeah)
I can only be me
So it's all or nothing at all (ooh)
All or nothing at all
Don't you know I can only be me
(I can only be me, yeah)
So take me as I am (take me)
Or have nothing at all
(I can only be, yeah)
Just take me as I am
(I can only be, yeah, so take me)
Or have nothing at all (at all)
(Take me as I am or have nothing at all)
Take me as I am (take me)
Take me as I am
Said it's all or nothing at all
Said it's all or nothing at all
Just take me as I am (oh, yeah)
Or have nothing at all
(Or nothing, baby, this is me, this is me)
Just take me as I am (take me as I am)
Or have nothing, nothing at all (take me as I am)
Just take me as I am (take me as I am)
Or have nothing, nothing at all (take me as I am)

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.
