In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Na, na, na, na, na na, na,na, na [Repeat: x 4]
[Chorus]
Nobody move, nobody get hurt
You come by big car and youreturn by hearse
'Cause we are murderer
We burn all peguns
And we are dangerous
We don't joke and don't make fun
We are the champion-sound
We wear the crown
And if a drumpan sound
Come test, we crush to the ground
We chase it out of town
What do you prove
Nobody move, nobody get hurt
We have the vibes
That make you fly
Fly like a bird
Don't disturb
Else- we put your face into the dirt,
And I work
And one day we will take over planet earth
Why you try
You know how
But you don't know why
And that is why
We are goin' to send you back to school for live
Bad men spread
Lies and romours
Brainwash propaganda-
But we don't care about the world out there
My brother
'Cause when b.a.n.t.u. sound it in the atmosphere
My sister
The people love, the people dance and the people share
And mother Africa spirit seems to deh in the air
The spirit seems to deh in
The air
Oh na, na, na sing
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Nobody move, nobody get hurt
You come by big car and youreturn by hearse
'Cause we are murderer
We burn all peguns
And we are dangerous
We don't joke and don't make fun
We are the champion-sound
We wear the crown
And if a drumpan sound
Come test, we crush to the ground
We chase it out of town
What do you prove
Nobody move, nobody get hurt
We have the vibes
That make you fly
Fly like a bird
Don't disturb
Else- we put your face into the dirt,
And I work
And one day we will take over planet earth
Why you try
You know how
But you don't know why
And that is why
We are goin' to send you back to school for live
Bad men spread

Brainwash propaganda-
But we don't care about the world out there
My brother
'Cause when b.a.n.t.u. sound it in the atmosphere

The people love, the people dance and the people share
And mother Africa spirit seems to deh in the air
The spirit seems to deh in
The air
Oh na, na, na sing

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
