This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Hold in my breath-not taking a step
the good church has closed its doors on me
God don't like my dirty feet
Burnin' the lawn-everyone's gone
ain't no BBQ going on today
I drink my dinner in the shade
Days and days go by
children laughin'
Still I don't smile at all
Mary's calling to me
“can't you see what I see”
She would never let me down
It's been a long time at the bottom
I spend a lot of time way down there
It's been a long time at the bottom
I don't know how I made it here
Been livin' a lie-my kisses are dry
I got No where else left to run
My love is blind deaf and dumb
Heaven can't wait-to lock up the gate
Tell me that I never could be long
I had my chance but got it wrong
Days and days go by
children laughin'
Still I don't smile at all
Mary's calling to me
“can't you see what I see”
She would never let me down
It's been a long time at the bottom
I spend a lot of time way down there
It's been a long time at the bottom
I don't know how I made it here
Mother Mary stay with me
Don't let me die
You're the only good part left of my trash
God knows I can't change me
I've tried and tried
I never meant to make you cry
It's been a long time at the bottom
I spend a lot of time way down there
It's been a long time at the bottom
I don't know how I made it here
the good church has closed its doors on me
God don't like my dirty feet
Burnin' the lawn-everyone's gone
ain't no BBQ going on today
I drink my dinner in the shade
Days and days go by
children laughin'
Still I don't smile at all
Mary's calling to me
“can't you see what I see”
She would never let me down
It's been a long time at the bottom
I spend a lot of time way down there
It's been a long time at the bottom
I don't know how I made it here
Been livin' a lie-my kisses are dry
I got No where else left to run
My love is blind deaf and dumb
Heaven can't wait-to lock up the gate
Tell me that I never could be long
I had my chance but got it wrong
Days and days go by
children laughin'
Still I don't smile at all
Mary's calling to me
“can't you see what I see”
She would never let me down
It's been a long time at the bottom
I spend a lot of time way down there
It's been a long time at the bottom
I don't know how I made it here
Mother Mary stay with me
Don't let me die
You're the only good part left of my trash
God knows I can't change me
I've tried and tried
I never meant to make you cry
It's been a long time at the bottom
I spend a lot of time way down there
It's been a long time at the bottom
I don't know how I made it here

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.
