Master: Approach students. Close the circle at the feet of the master. You have come to me asking that I be your guide along the path of tae-kwon-leep, but be warned. To learn it's ways, you must learn the ways of your own soul. Let us meditate on this wisdom now.

Ed: Uh sir... sir... ooo! ooo! Sir!

Master: Who disturbs our meditation as a pebble disturbs a pond?

Ed: Me. Ed Gooberman.

Master: E... Ed Gooberman.

Ed: Yeah. No disrespect or nothing, but like how long is this going to take?

Master: Tae-Kwon-Leep is not a path to a door, but a road leading forever towards the horizon.

Ed: So like, what, an hour or so?

Master: No, no. We have not even begun upon the path. Ed Gooberman, you must learn patience.

Ed: Yeah, yeah, patience. How long will that take?

Master: Time has no meaning. To a true student, a year is as a day.

Ed: A year! I wanna beat people up right now! I got the pajamas. Ha... yo... wa... wooo!

Master: Beat people up?

Ed: Yeah, just show me all those nifty moves so I can start trashing bozo's. That's all I came here for. Yo-as-ta-ta-shah! Pretty good aye?

Master: The only use of Tae-Kwon-Leep is self defense. Do you know who said that? Ki-lo-knee, the great teacher.

Ed: Yeah, well the best defense is a good o-fense. Do you know who said that? Mel, the cook on Alice.

Master: Well, umm... Tae-Kwon Leep is the wine of purity, not the vinigar of hostility. Meditate on this truth with us. Ahhh... ohhhhh...

Ed: Listen shrimp, now are you gonna show me those nifty moves, or am I gonna start waping the walls with you?

Master: Ed Gooberman, you fail to grasp Tae-Kwon Leep. Approach me so that you may see.

Ed: Alright, finally some action.

Master: Observe closely class. Boot to the Head [boom].
Ed: Ow, you booted me in the head!

Master: You are lucky Ed Gooberman. Few novices experiece so much of Tae-Kwon Leep so soon.

Ed: Ow, oh, my head.

Master: Now we continue.

Ed: Hey, hey, I wasn't ready! Come and get me now, come on, are you chicken?

Master: Boot to the head [boom].
Ed: Ow! Okay, now I'm ready, come on, try it now.
Master: Boot to the head [boom].

Ed: Mind if I just lie down here for a minute? Ow.

Master: Now class, we shall return to our...

Student 1: Master.

Master: It is wrong to tip the vessle of knowledge student.

Student 1: Many apologies master, but I feel Ed Gooberman is not wholly wrong.

Master: What do you mean?

Student 1: I want to boot some head too.
Master: Have you learned nothing from the lesson of Ed Gooberman?

Student 1: Yes master, I have learned two things. First, that anger is a weapon only to ones oppenent.

Master: Very good.

Student 1: And get in the first shot. Boot to the head [half a boom].
Master: You missed.

Student 1: Uh, yeah, well...

Master: You to shall be honored to learn a lesson.

Student 1: Ya know, I can... you don't have to ya know... I gotta be going...

Master: Boot to the Head [boom].

Student 1: ooo... ya... ehh... ooooogggg... awwwwww

Master: Can anyone tell us what lesson has been learned here?

Student 2: Uh, yes master, not a single one of could defeat you.

Master: You gain wisdom child.

Student 2: So we'll have to gang up on you! Get him now!

Master: Boot... [boom]... boot to... [boom]... ht... [boom], [boom], [boom] [boom] [boom], [boom] [boom]... [boom]

Master: And now class, let us rejoin the mind to the body, and gaze into the heart of the candle in meditation. Ahh... owwww...

Students: ahhh... oooooowwwww...

Master: Very good, class.

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”

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
