I'm stuck on the bench
And I'm crying
Watching all of my boys
Out there dying
I'm begging you coach
Just to put me on
Behind line two
But not for long
(Chorus)
Young blood
Baby let me back on the ice
Just for one more night
x2

I'm telling you, coach
About your daughter
I never would have bothered
If I knew you were her father
I'm telling you, coach
Her ass is so fine
I'm breaking away
Past the blue line
(Chorus)

"Ah, well, looks like we've got number 10, Youngblood, out on the ice tonight. This is the final game of the, uh, junior championship hockey league. We've got the, uh, thunder-bay, Bombers, really lookin' tough out on the ice tonight. Let's see how, uh, referee, Hannah, calls the puck. Huh aw, looks like Youngblood's ready to get feisty out there, aw yeah, yaw to the shit."

(Chorus x4)

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.
