Can you see it
When it's coming
Feel the danger
Got you running

From the color
Disappearing
So much gray skin
Is appearing

They never see the day of light
They like to feel in the night
They like to gamble in the street
They like to gamble with your life

Can you hear it
When it's calling
Turn your head brown
Keep on talking

Tryin' to stay cool
The demons keep on pullin'
Someone keeps on givin'
The fire keeps on burnin'

They never see the day of light
They like to feel in the night
They like to gamble in the street
They like to gamble with your life

Daylight is coming
Devil got you runnin'
City bus is hummin'
The future is runnin'
Sometimes that I feel that
It's time I'm on my way back
Find out where I been from
God knows I need some

They never see the day of light
They like to feel in the night
They like to gamble in the street
They like to gamble with your life

They like to gamble in the street
They like to gamble with your life

They like to gamble in the street
They like to gamble with your life

They like to gamble in the street
They like to gamble with your life

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
