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.
I cannot see you never again
Oh I could wake cold just to hold your hand
Ain't got much but it can all be yours
A three-room apartment and a hot dog stand
I've been fighting in the attic with hungry ghosts
I've been busy in the common hall
Ripping the plastered-up sheets off the wall
I'll keep calling if it takes all night
Everything's well-alright
Gonna be well-alright
Dude this girl was out of it and it cost
At the high school where they get so lost
Hit her hard with a pack of twenty-five
Much too fuel-up, but we stayed alive
Because well she won't come along, not so dumb
Soldered clothes or heavens knows
There's no warmth in the words that you say, goodbye
I don't wanna make that habit yet,
Don't mean nothing just some common sense
Not for so much is just the fact we met
Everything's well-alright
Gonna be well-alright
Everything's well-alright
Gonna be well-alright
I cannot see you never again
Oh I could wake cold just to hold your hand
Ain't got much but it all be yours
A three-room apartment and a hot dog stand
Just watch the endless day, how it goes
Sell your watch, sell your clothes
There's no warmth in the pretty words you say, goodbye
I don't mean nothing just some common sense
Ain't have enough for your boss, just yet
Nothing much, just the bored big layer
Everything's gonna be well alright you and me
Everything's gonna be well alright, well alright
Well-alright, well-alright, well-alright, well-alright
Well-alright, well-alright, well-alright, well-alright
Oh I could wake cold just to hold your hand
Ain't got much but it can all be yours
A three-room apartment and a hot dog stand
I've been fighting in the attic with hungry ghosts
I've been busy in the common hall
Ripping the plastered-up sheets off the wall
I'll keep calling if it takes all night
Everything's well-alright
Gonna be well-alright
Dude this girl was out of it and it cost
At the high school where they get so lost
Hit her hard with a pack of twenty-five
Much too fuel-up, but we stayed alive
Because well she won't come along, not so dumb
Soldered clothes or heavens knows
There's no warmth in the words that you say, goodbye
I don't wanna make that habit yet,
Don't mean nothing just some common sense
Not for so much is just the fact we met
Everything's well-alright
Gonna be well-alright
Everything's well-alright
Gonna be well-alright
I cannot see you never again
Oh I could wake cold just to hold your hand
Ain't got much but it all be yours
A three-room apartment and a hot dog stand
Just watch the endless day, how it goes
Sell your watch, sell your clothes
There's no warmth in the pretty words you say, goodbye
I don't mean nothing just some common sense
Ain't have enough for your boss, just yet
Nothing much, just the bored big layer
Everything's gonna be well alright you and me
Everything's gonna be well alright, well alright
Well-alright, well-alright, well-alright, well-alright
Well-alright, well-alright, well-alright, well-alright

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.
