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.
Well nigga roll me a mic
And let me smoke it til' I'm high
If you ever seen me rock than you know that I
Live and die for the things I do slang
I use breakin' down mics and destroyin' crews.
Well nigga roll me a mic
And let me smoke it til' I'm high
If you ever seen me rock than you know that I
Live and die for the things I do slang
I use breakin' down mics and destroyin' crews.
1-2-1-2 uh
1-2-1-2 mic check 1-2-1-2
1-2-1-2 uh
1-2-1-2 mic check 1-2-1-2
I devoted my whole life to rockin'
Mics gettin crowds lifted put my pants
On backwards caus' I wanted to be different.
I keeps'em with a crease tom peeps burn
To nucci, house full of hunnies sportin' gucci, cuttin' coochie.
I'm the man girlfriend, luxury I swim
Macadocious to the most brown sex and slim,
State of uptrends, known for making divedends
And millions my people jump, jump, jump, jump.
Who chose to be the next nigga
To step get deleted by death undefeated
Ain't no thang to put that body to rest
Chest filled with smoke yokin' niggas up
By the collar. Follow me 'cause my dollars
Makin' more cents than common.
Robbin' you for your money and your
Diamonds endangerin' your species,
More like a woman than the bee gees.
No remorse steady smokin' plenty grass
Let it go and let Da Brat commence to be the baddest hoe.
Well nigga roll me a mic
And let me smoke it til' I'm high
If you ever seen me rock than you know that I
Live and die for the things I do slang
I use breakin' down mics and destroyin' crews.
Nothin' but a see big party (twelve until)
See I'm the daddy of the mack and at the top
Of world I chill keep real, my feela' work consists of that
(A thuggish ass niggas sayin' way to keep'em pissed)
My life I wouldn't tread it, to me it's nothin' better,
Wakin' up when I want to sportin' Jay-boogie leather.
Autographs (bubble baths) five star hotels,
Rollin' wit' a clicc supa' thick and everybody gettin' well.
Take off the safety face me gun powder chowder for real,
The last nigga figga to ever make it off the hill with steel,
Rhymes rock like Cope the smoke and I'm in effect with
A tech that got a infa-red scope.
Smackin' those actin', tough as Tinactin, fall up in your
Hood increase your brain with the mack 10, stacked N's
Seventeen's on the benz and burn up on my thigh in
Case these niggas won die.
Well nigga roll me a mic
And let me smoke it til' I'm high
If you ever seen me rock than you know that I
Live and die for the things I do slang
I use breakin' down mics and destroyin' crews.
Oh
Someone tell me
We got it goin' on
I'm tellin' y'all
(It's that SoSo Def)
I want you to feel me, my whole thang is to get inside your body,
I run game like my name was John Gaddy,
Hittin' hookshots like Vlade and niggas around my way call me little Liberace.
A lady lover like no other and I be lethal with my weapon so they call me
Danny Glover now who keep it hot? (We Do.)
See So So def ain't nothin' but a fool ass crew.
And let me smoke it til' I'm high
If you ever seen me rock than you know that I
Live and die for the things I do slang
I use breakin' down mics and destroyin' crews.
Well nigga roll me a mic
And let me smoke it til' I'm high
If you ever seen me rock than you know that I
Live and die for the things I do slang

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.
