This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Wake me up when you are over
'Cause I don't want to hear you say
That you've got worries on your shoulder
Well, I'd love to sail up and go away
I ain't never seen you cryin'
But that don't mean that you can't feel
And maybe deep inside you're dying
That may be the only thing that's ever real
It's a reach-around jerk in a button-down shirt
Talkin' sweet to keep all the little people happy
When the talk is cheap, the shit gets deep
You better face reality, that everybody's had a bad day or two
They don't treat you like the way you think they should
So you lick your bitter wounds, and you turn and blame the government
Establishment, hold your breath so no one sees you when you're down
Wake me up when you are over
Let me know how long it took
And if you ever need my sympathy
Honey, here's how deep you're gonna have to look
And I know when you get older
You'll learn the art of how to please
But right now you're just gettin' colder
And my love is gonna send you to your knees
It's a reach-around jerk in a button-down shirt
Talkin' sweet to keep all the little people happy
When the talk is cheap, the shit gets deep
You better face reality, that everybody's had a bad day or two
They don't treat you like the way you think they should
So you lick your bitter wounds, and you turn and blame the government
Establishment, hold your breath so no one sees you when you're down
And if you need me, I am able
And if you need me, I am here
But when you reach across the table
I'll be leaving all my tears inside my beer
'Cause I don't want to hear you say
That you've got worries on your shoulder
Well, I'd love to sail up and go away
I ain't never seen you cryin'
But that don't mean that you can't feel
And maybe deep inside you're dying
That may be the only thing that's ever real
It's a reach-around jerk in a button-down shirt
Talkin' sweet to keep all the little people happy
When the talk is cheap, the shit gets deep
You better face reality, that everybody's had a bad day or two
They don't treat you like the way you think they should
So you lick your bitter wounds, and you turn and blame the government
Establishment, hold your breath so no one sees you when you're down
Wake me up when you are over
Let me know how long it took
And if you ever need my sympathy
Honey, here's how deep you're gonna have to look
And I know when you get older
You'll learn the art of how to please
But right now you're just gettin' colder
And my love is gonna send you to your knees
It's a reach-around jerk in a button-down shirt
Talkin' sweet to keep all the little people happy
When the talk is cheap, the shit gets deep
You better face reality, that everybody's had a bad day or two
They don't treat you like the way you think they should
So you lick your bitter wounds, and you turn and blame the government
Establishment, hold your breath so no one sees you when you're down
And if you need me, I am able
And if you need me, I am here
But when you reach across the table
I'll be leaving all my tears inside my beer

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.
