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.
I remember every word you said
We can't go on this way
Should I go or stay
But I've given you everything
That one woman could give a man
So when you gonna recognize and realize
What we had
(Now tell me)
Who you gonna believe, her or me?
What's it gonna be, Who you gonna believe?
Before your heart shatters, love is all that matters
You put me through that lover's game over and over
Someday someone's gonna put you through the same
Lover to lover, I hope you don't find out too late
I hope you never have to feel the pain
'Cause if you lose the love you took for granted
That you could never appreciate
Who you gonna believe, her or me?
Who's it gonna be, who you gonna believe?
Before you make up your mind
You better take some time
What about me, don't you think I need a man here
Standing by my side
And what about you, you need a woman to hold you
Through those cold and lonely nights
Oh, what about us, we belong together for ever and ever.
Oh, I'll be there if you should ever need me
Oh, I know everything will work out fine, just believe
Oh, I know cause we've been through this a million times
Keep on believing well I hope you don't find out too late
Hope you never have to feel the pain
Cause if you lose the love you took for granted
That you could never appreciate, after all this time
Who you gonna believe, her or me?
Who's it gonna be, who you gonna believe?
Who are you fooling
Well you're not fooling me no
Who you gonna believe, you can risk it all
With someone else's world
Wondering if it's love
Baby oh baby, you should know by now
You can believe in me
We can't go on this way
Should I go or stay
But I've given you everything
That one woman could give a man
So when you gonna recognize and realize
What we had
(Now tell me)
Who you gonna believe, her or me?
What's it gonna be, Who you gonna believe?
Before your heart shatters, love is all that matters
You put me through that lover's game over and over
Someday someone's gonna put you through the same
Lover to lover, I hope you don't find out too late
I hope you never have to feel the pain
'Cause if you lose the love you took for granted
That you could never appreciate
Who you gonna believe, her or me?
Who's it gonna be, who you gonna believe?
Before you make up your mind
You better take some time
What about me, don't you think I need a man here
Standing by my side
And what about you, you need a woman to hold you
Through those cold and lonely nights
Oh, what about us, we belong together for ever and ever.
Oh, I'll be there if you should ever need me
Oh, I know everything will work out fine, just believe
Oh, I know cause we've been through this a million times
Keep on believing well I hope you don't find out too late
Hope you never have to feel the pain
Cause if you lose the love you took for granted
That you could never appreciate, after all this time
Who you gonna believe, her or me?
Who's it gonna be, who you gonna believe?
Who are you fooling
Well you're not fooling me no
Who you gonna believe, you can risk it all
With someone else's world
Wondering if it's love
Baby oh baby, you should know by now
You can believe in me

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.
