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.
(Unsung Heroes)
They askin' why you never change, why you stay the same
They askin' why you never change, why you stay the same
Why you always livin' in the past? My bad I can't refrain
Blame it on the mary jane, it's sweet like candy cane
Cause I'm still with the same old team, I never rearrange
I left a lot of things unsaid, a lot of things unsung
I'm really losin' patience, wonderin' why I hold my tongue
Y'all really ain't no fun, I mean what have y'all become?
Dissin' music, praisin' puns, Instagram it then you run
Fuck a hater, I remain a player
Stuntin' on my exes higher than the Himalayas
With two bitches from Jamaica, I hit the alternator
I've been gettin' to the paper smokin' gas you blowin' vapor
Let me sum it up, I gotta run it up
Fuck a runners up, pourin' drank up in my cup
But it ain't enough, I gotta ante up
Rollin' Dutches in the cut, two grams, and it's overstuffed
And I've been gettin' faded on those sick days,
Got it goin' I can get it six ways,
Text the plug and tell him I got six plays
Y'all ain't even heard about my endgame
They askin' why you never change, why you stay the same
Why you always livin' in the past? My bad I can't refrain
Blame it on the mary jane, it's sweet like candy cane
Cause I'm still with the same old team, I never rearrange
They askin' why you never change, why you stay the same
Why you always livin' in the past? My bad I can't refrain
Blame it on the mary jane, it's sweet like candy cane
Cause I'm still with the same old team, I never rearrange
They askin' why you never change, why you stay the same
They askin' why you never change, why you stay the same
Why you always livin' in the past? My bad I can't refrain
Blame it on the mary jane, it's sweet like candy cane
Cause I'm still with the same old team, I never rearrange
I left a lot of things unsaid, a lot of things unsung
I'm really losin' patience, wonderin' why I hold my tongue
Y'all really ain't no fun, I mean what have y'all become?
Dissin' music, praisin' puns, Instagram it then you run
Fuck a hater, I remain a player
Stuntin' on my exes higher than the Himalayas
With two bitches from Jamaica, I hit the alternator
I've been gettin' to the paper smokin' gas you blowin' vapor
Let me sum it up, I gotta run it up
Fuck a runners up, pourin' drank up in my cup
But it ain't enough, I gotta ante up
Rollin' Dutches in the cut, two grams, and it's overstuffed
And I've been gettin' faded on those sick days,
Got it goin' I can get it six ways,
Text the plug and tell him I got six plays
Y'all ain't even heard about my endgame
They askin' why you never change, why you stay the same
Why you always livin' in the past? My bad I can't refrain
Blame it on the mary jane, it's sweet like candy cane
Cause I'm still with the same old team, I never rearrange
They askin' why you never change, why you stay the same
Why you always livin' in the past? My bad I can't refrain
Blame it on the mary jane, it's sweet like candy cane
Cause I'm still with the same old team, I never rearrange

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Amazing instrumental. Instrumental second only to NO#1 off of Automatic for the People
In an interview, Pete Buck once commented about this song: "We hired members of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra to perform the string parts to this song. They came in and did everything perfectly in one take." He also stated that Michael came up with the flute part as a melody, but couldn't come up with lyrics for the tune, so they hired Mark Bingham to transcribe Michael's humming the part into sheet music.
