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.
I will fight! I will fight! I will fight! I will fight!
I am Seoul, I am the future man.
Not afraid of any complication
I raise my hand, fist in the air
I make my stand, its the cross I bear
I will stand here by your side I wont break or divide.
Ill defend you with my life I will fight for you
I will stand here by your side I wont break or divide.
Ill defend you with my life I will fight for you
I will fight! I will fight! I will fight! I will fight!
I will die for what I feel is right
I wont think about it once or twice yeah
I raise my hand, fist in the air
I make my stand, its the cross I bear
I will stand here by your side I wont break or divide.
Ill defend you with my life I will fight for you
I will stand here by your side I wont break or divide.
Ill defend you with my life I will fight for you
I will fight! I will fight! I will fight! I will fight!
I am Seoul I am the future man
And I will fight for you and I what I believe in
I am Seoul, I am the future man.
Not afraid of any complication
I raise my hand, fist in the air
I make my stand, its the cross I bear
I will stand here by your side I wont break or divide.
Ill defend you with my life I will fight for you
I will stand here by your side I wont break or divide.
Ill defend you with my life I will fight for you
I will fight! I will fight! I will fight! I will fight!
I will die for what I feel is right
I wont think about it once or twice yeah
I raise my hand, fist in the air
I make my stand, its the cross I bear
I will stand here by your side I wont break or divide.
Ill defend you with my life I will fight for you
I will stand here by your side I wont break or divide.
Ill defend you with my life I will fight for you
I will fight! I will fight! I will fight! I will fight!
I am Seoul I am the future man
And I will fight for you and I what I believe in
