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.
Yo, hey, check this out
I love you baby
I want to sing a song girl
I need you, your what I want
Yo, hey, check this out
What's it gonna take to get your attention
Your keeping my mind hanging in suspicion
I want you, that's what I'm trying to say
But for your love night and day I pray
Where have you been all of my life
Your a perfect girlfriend and I want you for my wife
I'm after your heart, oh don't you see
I'm not out to get your virginity
And I understand why you're playing hard to get
But for you girl I have, all do respect
So don't reject, may I correct, let me be the one that you select
[Chorus:]
I need you, your what I want
Ah girl
I need you, your what I want
Ah girl
I want you, your what I need
Oh baby
Yo babe check it out
I never wanted nothing like I want you
I don't ask for much and you know that's true
I'm telling you straight trying to be polite
When I met you it was love at first sight
I feel like I'm filling out an application
So read my resume have no hesitation
Every time I see you girl I fall in love again
Wishing we could be more than just friends
I'll be there whenever you take a fall
We'll only have to live ever after all
No fussing or fighting we sing our song
If you were to cry I'll weep along
'Cause your my girl and you shine like gold
You were hard to get but won't be hard to hold
I think about you from dusk till dawn
And the sound of your voice help me carry on
And that look in your eye it makes me weak
'Cause your a quiet female, you hardly ever speak
May not be good at real romance
But I can do my best if I can get my chance
[Chorus:]
Yo check it out
Give me a chance to show and prove
Yo baby doll don't front the move
I'm not like the other guys I'm different
Like you, you know I'm the innocent
I shouldn't tell you this but I keep urging
You might not believe it but I'm still a virgin
Do you want my love I need to know
'Cause we're taking this situation too slow
Say yes and I'll keep a smile on your face
But if you say no, I'll be gone without a trace
'Cause you are the one and you got my number
I dream about you when I'm deep in slumber
You should know that its your love I need
And satisfaction is guaranteed
And you know why I want your love so much
'Cause I'm singing this song with an MC's touch
[Chorus: Repeat 3X]
I love you baby
I want to sing a song girl
I need you, your what I want
Yo, hey, check this out
What's it gonna take to get your attention
Your keeping my mind hanging in suspicion
I want you, that's what I'm trying to say
But for your love night and day I pray
Where have you been all of my life
Your a perfect girlfriend and I want you for my wife
I'm after your heart, oh don't you see
I'm not out to get your virginity
And I understand why you're playing hard to get
But for you girl I have, all do respect
So don't reject, may I correct, let me be the one that you select
[Chorus:]
I need you, your what I want
Ah girl
I need you, your what I want
Ah girl
I want you, your what I need
Oh baby

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
