This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Despite all my friends telling me not to
I've finally managed to track down and find you
It was hard growing up without a dad
But now I know it's you, I'm sorta glad
You left us in such a mess
No need for a paternity test
More than just an educated guess
You broke more than just a young girl's heart
My mother always told me
You, not me, were the mistake
She never regretted the chance she had to take
The 1980s were a wild and crazy time
And having fun is not a crime (Hoo-hoo)
But considering the way you behaved (Hoo-hoo)
You've probably got more children
Than Screamin' Jay (Hawkins)
You left us in such a mess
No need for a paternity test
More than just an educated guess
You broke more than just a young girl's heart
My mother always told me
You, not me, were the mistake
She never regretted the chance she had to take
My mother always told me
Everything you put her through
I told her we're better off without you
She can't have been the only girl
Illegitimate children all over the world
One day you're gonna get caught
And that's an awful lot of child support
You left us in such a mess
No need for a paternity test
More than just an educated guess
You broke more than just a young girl's heart
My mother always told me
I was a surprise, not a mistake
She never regrets the chance she had to take
My mother always told me
Everything you put her through
I told her we're better off without you
I've finally managed to track down and find you
It was hard growing up without a dad
But now I know it's you, I'm sorta glad
You left us in such a mess
No need for a paternity test
More than just an educated guess
You broke more than just a young girl's heart
My mother always told me
You, not me, were the mistake
She never regretted the chance she had to take
The 1980s were a wild and crazy time
And having fun is not a crime (Hoo-hoo)
But considering the way you behaved (Hoo-hoo)
You've probably got more children
Than Screamin' Jay (Hawkins)
You left us in such a mess
No need for a paternity test
More than just an educated guess
You broke more than just a young girl's heart
My mother always told me
You, not me, were the mistake
She never regretted the chance she had to take
My mother always told me
Everything you put her through
I told her we're better off without you
She can't have been the only girl
Illegitimate children all over the world
One day you're gonna get caught
And that's an awful lot of child support
You left us in such a mess
No need for a paternity test
More than just an educated guess
You broke more than just a young girl's heart
My mother always told me
I was a surprise, not a mistake
She never regrets the chance she had to take
My mother always told me
Everything you put her through
I told her we're better off without you

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.
A response to the Michael Jackson hit, "Billie Jean", in which a man denies a crazed woman is his lover and that her child is his. It includes lines referring to advice not to "go around breaking young girls' hearts." In "Billy's Genes", that child has grown up and discovered who his father was, and roundly criticises his behaviour of breaking hearts and homes.
