This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Take your time
Here’s a year
That should cover what I owe you
And some things that you will never know.
I wear your clothes till you come home,
You’ll know me by the way I’m dressing.
Now they seem to fit me
Better than my own.
I give to you the safe side of the curb
But I am tall as high beams
Shine up my back.
And I am straight briars
Come bending past.
Just look for branches tied in bows
Cos I loved you to ribbons
And you keep them with you
As you go.
I took the hairpins from your head
And tried to ask them why they led
You to believe
That you should live alone.
But I give to you the safe side of the curb.
But I am tall as high beams
Shine up my back.
And I am straight as briars
Come bending past.
Take my brother’s pistol and put it in your bag,
Take my winter jacket and put it in your bag.
Take my brother’s pistol and put it in your bag,
Take my winter jacket and put it in your bag.
I give to you the safe side
I give to you the safe side
I give to you the safe side
Of the curb.
But I am tall as high beams
Shine up back
And I am straight as briars come bending past
Your cold shadow leaves,
Your cold shadow leaves.
Your cold shadow leaves.
Here’s a year

Take my winter jacket and put it in your bag.
Take my brother’s pistol and put it in your bag,
Take my winter jacket and put it in your bag.

I give to you the safe side
I give to you the safe side
Of the curb.
But I am tall as high beams
Shine up back
And I am straight as briars come bending past
Your cold shadow leaves,
Your cold shadow leaves.
Your cold shadow leaves.

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.
