This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
As a young boy daddy used to tell me stories
Do your thing my son the world is yours
The winds of fury will lead to paths of glory
Take it in your stride my son the world is yours
You can only find the gold by digging in the dirt
If your gonna play with fire,then you're gonna get burnt
You can never reach the heights and avoid the hurt yeah
The world is yours
As a young boy daddy used to tell me stories
Do your thing and sing the world is yours
The winds of fury pave the way to paths of glory
Keep your self onside ny son and the world is yours
Yeah you might have it all but you'll still want more
There's a law for the rich and another for the poor
There's a golden key unlock all the doors
And the world is yours
The world is yours
The world is yours,the world is yours
There's a time and a place for everything
Not a man alive you owe a thing
From the stars in the sky to the ocean floor the world is yours
The world is yours
The world is yours, the world is yours
People say they're never gonna turn away
And then when it comes on top
They'll be first to turn their backs away
First whose heads are gonna drop
First to slowly fade away
So remember all your days the world is yours and all the world contains
Well you might have it all but you'll still want more
There's a law for the rich and another for the poor
There's a golden key unlocks all the doors
And the world is yours, the world is yours
The world is yours, the world is yours
Do your thing my son the world is yours
The winds of fury will lead to paths of glory
Take it in your stride my son the world is yours
You can only find the gold by digging in the dirt
If your gonna play with fire,then you're gonna get burnt
You can never reach the heights and avoid the hurt yeah
The world is yours
As a young boy daddy used to tell me stories
Do your thing and sing the world is yours
The winds of fury pave the way to paths of glory
Keep your self onside ny son and the world is yours
Yeah you might have it all but you'll still want more
There's a law for the rich and another for the poor
There's a golden key unlock all the doors
And the world is yours
The world is yours
The world is yours,the world is yours
There's a time and a place for everything
Not a man alive you owe a thing
From the stars in the sky to the ocean floor the world is yours
The world is yours
The world is yours, the world is yours
People say they're never gonna turn away
And then when it comes on top
They'll be first to turn their backs away
First whose heads are gonna drop
First to slowly fade away
So remember all your days the world is yours and all the world contains
Well you might have it all but you'll still want more
There's a law for the rich and another for the poor
There's a golden key unlocks all the doors
And the world is yours, the world is yours
The world is yours, the world is yours

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
There are some good lines in this song;
"You can never reach the heights and avoid the hurt" No pain no gain!
"Yeah you might have it all but you'll still want more There's a law for the rich and another for the poor" Greed kills and inequality is very much alive.
It seems what he means by the world is yours, is like an encouragement to grab the bull by the horns and make something of your life. But it could be interpreted to mean something about gaining worldly power. Like, if I say "the world is mine" it sounds like you want to rule the world or something, but I don't think it is meant to be a promotion of selfishness.
