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.
She's the one
She's so gone
She's the one who throws the skins at you
And says lets all turn on
She's the one
She's so gone
She's the one who throws her pants at you
And says O.K. you're on
She's the one
She's so gone
She's the one who takes the stomach
Makes the tea and cleans the john
She's the one
She's so gone
She's the one who hands the blankets round
And comforts everyone
She's the one
She's so gone
She's the one who buys the comics
Drops the kids and knows the com
She's the one
She's so gone
She's the one who you don't miss
Until you find she's really gone
You say that it's got you beat
And you don't know which way to turn
You say that she's oh so sweet
But there's nothing left for you to learn
You say that it's not your fault
You've seen through all the doors
Ah but how can any man talk like you
With a wonderful wife like yours
You say that its all washed up
And as bad as it could ever get
You say that you've filled your cup
And you light another cigarette
You say its O.K. for me
But I don't see her claws
Ah but how can any man talk like you
With a wonderful wife like yours
You tell me that I can't see you problem
But I don't have to live with you to know
That she's a very beautiful young woman
And your a fool if you can let her go
You sit down and heave a sigh
And say that you'd welcome death
You step out into the sky
And mutter underneath your breath
You thump tables, spit and curse
But I can't see the cause
Ah but how can any man act like you
with a wonderful wife like yours
You say that you've packed your bag
It must be a heavy load
You light yet another fag
And say its a long hard road
You say the wind is blowing you
To other distant shores
Ah but how can any man talk like you
With a wonderful wife like yours
You tell me that I can't see you problem
But I don't have to live with you to know
That she's a very beautiful young woman
And your a fool if you can let her go
She's so gone
She's the one who throws the skins at you
And says lets all turn on
She's the one
She's so gone
She's the one who throws her pants at you
And says O.K. you're on
She's the one
She's so gone
She's the one who takes the stomach
Makes the tea and cleans the john
She's the one
She's so gone
She's the one who hands the blankets round
And comforts everyone
She's the one
She's so gone
She's the one who buys the comics
Drops the kids and knows the com
She's the one
She's so gone
She's the one who you don't miss
Until you find she's really gone
You say that it's got you beat
And you don't know which way to turn
You say that she's oh so sweet
But there's nothing left for you to learn
You say that it's not your fault
You've seen through all the doors
Ah but how can any man talk like you
With a wonderful wife like yours
You say that its all washed up
And as bad as it could ever get
You say that you've filled your cup
And you light another cigarette
You say its O.K. for me
But I don't see her claws
Ah but how can any man talk like you
With a wonderful wife like yours
You tell me that I can't see you problem
But I don't have to live with you to know
That she's a very beautiful young woman
And your a fool if you can let her go
You sit down and heave a sigh
And say that you'd welcome death
You step out into the sky
And mutter underneath your breath
You thump tables, spit and curse
But I can't see the cause
Ah but how can any man act like you
with a wonderful wife like yours
You say that you've packed your bag
It must be a heavy load
You light yet another fag
And say its a long hard road
You say the wind is blowing you
To other distant shores
Ah but how can any man talk like you
With a wonderful wife like yours
You tell me that I can't see you problem
But I don't have to live with you to know
That she's a very beautiful young woman
And your a fool if you can let her go

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.
