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.
And I'm running out of time
But time is all we have
Yeah we make mistakes, mistakes we never had
And it took me a long time
Cuz time is all we have
Learning from mistakes, mistakes from our past
But I'm here right now and I'm here with doubt
But I won't back down
I was lost and I'm still not found
No I'm still not found
Guess I needed to disassemble myself
And put back together all the pieces and weld
That which I want to keep forever
Cuz this mistake just might be the worst I dealt
Be the worst I dealt
Guess I needed to disassemble myself
And put back together all the pieces and weld
That which I want to keep forever
Cuz this mistake just might be the worst I dealt
Be the worst I dealt
There's an emergency lever, should I press it
Or should I let the steam build and compress it
Something always felt like it wasn't real
But now life is all that I know how to feel
Cuz shit can go this way or that way
So many thoughts inside they're getting away
So as I let these words get a bit of play
I just wanna say, it feels good to be alive today
Guess I needed to disassemble myself
And put back together all the pieces and weld
That which I want to keep forever
Cuz this mistake just might be the worst I dealt
Be the worst I dealt
Guess I needed to disassemble myself
And put back together all the pieces and weld
That which I want to keep forever
Cuz this mistake just might be the worst I dealt
Be the worst I dealt
Life is such a mystery
Life is just a puzzle
And me I am a puzzle piece trying to find my place
The one where I'm supposed to be
Somewhere I fit imperfectly
To recreate the bigger piece with all of those around me
Of this art we form in harmony
And these melodies that bring us peace
In a universal tempo, the song of life it plays for me
In a universal tempo, the song of life it plays for thee
Guess I needed to disassemble myself
And put back together all the pieces and weld
That which I want to keep forever
Cuz this mistake just might be the worst I dealt
Be the worst I dealt
Guess I needed to disassemble myself
And put back together all the pieces and weld
That which I want to keep forever
Cuz this mistake just might be the worst I dealt
Be the worst I dealt
And I'm running out of time
But time is all we have
Yeah we make mistakes, mistakes we never had
And it took me a long time
Cuz time is all we have
Learning from mistakes, mistakes from our past
But I'm here right now and I'm here with doubt
But I won't back down
I was lost and I'm still not found
No I'm still not found
Guess I needed to disassemble myself
And put back together all the pieces and weld
That which I want to keep forever
Cuz this mistake just might be the worst I dealt
Be the worst I dealt
Guess I needed to disassemble myself
And put back together all the pieces and weld
That which I want to keep forever
Cuz this mistake just might be the worst I dealt
Be the worst I dealt
But time is all we have
Yeah we make mistakes, mistakes we never had
And it took me a long time
Cuz time is all we have
Learning from mistakes, mistakes from our past
But I'm here right now and I'm here with doubt
But I won't back down

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.
