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.
Every time the wind blows
It blows problems at my door
Just when I think I can get a breath of fresh air
I'm gasping for more
I can remember way back in my childhood days
When my mama used to say to me
"God sees the little sparrow fall
And I know He's got His eye on me"
I believe what she told me
I believe what she said is true (I believe it!)
I believe what she told me
She said, "God will take care of you" (I believe it)
Just believe what He tells you
And put Him first in everything you do
And He will make a way out of no way
Exchange your lonely nights for brighter days
That's the reason why, why, why He would say that
"You gotta believe in Me"
I kept thinking I could make it on my own
And only call when I'm in need (call on You Lordy)
It took some trials to break my stubborn mind
But I'm gonna follow where you lead
You never said the way would be easy
Or that there would never be any night (never said it)
You said, "My yoke is easy
And my burden is light"
I believe what He told me
I believe what He said is true (I believe it)
I believe what He told me
He said: "I will take care of you" (I believe it)
Believe that He tells you
And put Him first in everything you do
He will make a way out of no way
Exchange your lonely nights for brighter days
That's why, why, why He would say that
"You gotta believe in Me"
I believe what you told me
No doubt in my mind
No greater love
I'll ever find
I'll tell everybody
Everywhere I go
I believe what He said
And I'm gonna follow His way
He will make a way out of no way
Exchange your lonely nights for brighter days
That's the reason why, why He would say
He'll give eternal life
Just believe (but ya gotta believe)
He will make a way out of no way
Exchange your lonely nights for brighter days
That's the reason why, why He would say
He'll give eternal life! But ya better believe! (He's gonna give it! Believe it!)
He will make a way....

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
