Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Everyday is just another crazy anyway
I think I'm winning when you walk away
With all your trophies and you accolades-lades-lades
From the beginning darling
I was just your token, token, token
Everything is broken, broken, broken
I was just your token, token, token
Everything is broken, broken, broken
Travesty, you're at the top of your academy
Don't get too used to looking down on me
Soon you'll be calling me your Majesty
From the beginning darling
I was just your token, token, token
Everything is broken, broken, broken
I was just your token, token, token
Everything is broken, broken, broken
Easy now, I tell you easy now
Before you say something that you don't mean to say
Easy now, she tell me easy now
Before I lose something, I'll never find again
Yeah, that's what she want me believing
See me alone, looks can be deceiving
One girl coming in, two or three leaving
Steaming, Willy Demon, they're screaming
Now that, that, they all love him
In the Midwest so they girls M Dub him
Met them way back when I posed for the Kodak
Tell me, how does it feel unreal
I was just your token, token, token
Everything is broken, broken, broken
I was just your token, token, token
Everything is broken
Gonna take you for a ride
I was just your token, token, token
Everything is broken, broken, broken
I was just your token, token, token
Everything is broken
I think I'm winning when you walk away
With all your trophies and you accolades-lades-lades
From the beginning darling
I was just your token, token, token
Everything is broken, broken, broken
I was just your token, token, token
Everything is broken, broken, broken
Travesty, you're at the top of your academy
Don't get too used to looking down on me
Soon you'll be calling me your Majesty
From the beginning darling
I was just your token, token, token
Everything is broken, broken, broken
I was just your token, token, token
Everything is broken, broken, broken
Easy now, I tell you easy now
Before you say something that you don't mean to say
Easy now, she tell me easy now
Before I lose something, I'll never find again
Yeah, that's what she want me believing
See me alone, looks can be deceiving
One girl coming in, two or three leaving
Steaming, Willy Demon, they're screaming
Now that, that, they all love him
In the Midwest so they girls M Dub him
Met them way back when I posed for the Kodak
Tell me, how does it feel unreal
I was just your token, token, token
Everything is broken, broken, broken
I was just your token, token, token
Everything is broken
Gonna take you for a ride
I was just your token, token, token
Everything is broken, broken, broken
I was just your token, token, token
Everything is broken

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.
