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”
Hey, I'm calling you back
Oh, she's been a bitch tonight
And by bitch, I mean this rain
No cabs, nowhere
So I had to put on the wig, and the heels,
And the lashes and the ear
And take the train to the club
And you know the MTA should stand for:
Mothers Touching My Ass
So then I get to the club
Looking like a drowned, harassed rat
And I'm greeted, not by Miss Rose at the door
But our friend, Johnny Five-O
Yes honey, the NYPD shut down the party
So no fee for me, and I don't even know what's the tea!
So I hope you’re up, girl,
'Cause we are all coming over
Lock the doors, lower the blinds
Fire up the smoke machine
And put on your heels
'Cause I know exactly what we need!
Let's have a kiki
I wanna have a kiki
Lock the doors tight
Let's have a kiki (mother)
I'm gonna let you have it
Let's have a kiki
I wanna have a kiki
Dive, turn, work
Let's have a kiki
We're gonna serve, and work, and turn, and hon-hon-honey
A kiki is a party for coming all your nerves
We're spilling tea and spilling just deserts when they deserve
And though the sun is rising, few may choose to leave
So shade that lid and we'll all bid adieu to your ennui
Let's have a kiki
I wanna have a kiki
Lock the doors tight
Let's have a kiki (mother)
I'm gonna let you have it
Let's have a kiki
I wanna have a kiki
Dive, turn, work
Let's have a kiki
We're gonna serve, and work, and turn, and hon-hon-honey
It's turkey lurkey time
Tom turkey ran away but he just came home
It's turkey lurkey time
He's really home to stay, never one to roam
Let's make a wish
And may all your wishes come true
Turkey lurkey
Goosey loosey
Some for Uncle Joe,
Some for Cousin Lucy
Everybody gather round the table
Dig in, dinner's being served
Eat all the turkey you are able
Can't you see a partridge in a pear tree?
Climb up and bring it down for me
That's something I would like to see
This kiki is marvelous!
Kiki, soso
Oui oui, non non
Kiki, soso
Oui, oui, non non
Kiki, soso
Oui, oui, non non!
Kiki, soso
Oui, oui, non non!
Let's have a kiki
I wanna have a kiki
Lock the doors tight
Let's have a kiki (mother)
I'm gonna let you have it
Let's have a kiki
I wanna have a kiki
Dive, turn, work
Let's have a kik
We're gonna serve, and work, and turn, and hon-hon-honey
Let's have a kiki
I wanna have a kiki
Lock the doors tight
Let's have a kiki (mother)
I'm gonna let you have it
Let's have a kiki
I wanna have a kiki
Dive, turn, work
Let's have a kik
We're gonna serve, and work, and turn, and hon-hon-honey

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.
