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.
Begin pulling them
The passion-flower that could never grow again
Those days were power
Trip some outward
Trip some a young way
Dead end
You'll find a place
Impressions of wet lips on a window, frosty lens
Relax in space
Birds singing "Why?
No race, there is comfort for you"
If all the people that you ever bumped into along the way had met the mark inside a cage
For tomorrow, today it might sting
And if somebody special ever ran away with what they gave you
Wasn't it a gift to touch for a second?
I'm right beside you
Not thinking about the holiday
Suddenly you wake up now
Not thinking about
All the work that must be done
Suddenly you wake up now
Not thinking about
Little letters on my phone
Suddenly you wake up now
Easy like a child running
Open on some plain
There's a daydream happening
Seems to take a while to make my affection and they take it and it's gone in seconds
Laying on clay tile, restless
Little old prints of some old shepherd
Thinking of the places we want
Are we in the same house or is a house between us?
A place to stay
Place to stay
A place to go and pray today, a place to pass away
A place to stay
Place to stay
A place to go and pray today, a place to pass away
Place to stay, a place to stay
Place to stay, place to stay
Place to stay, a place to stay
Place to stay, place to stay
The passion-flower that could never grow again
Those days were power
Trip some outward
Trip some a young way
Dead end
You'll find a place
Impressions of wet lips on a window, frosty lens
Relax in space
Birds singing "Why?
No race, there is comfort for you"
If all the people that you ever bumped into along the way had met the mark inside a cage
For tomorrow, today it might sting
And if somebody special ever ran away with what they gave you
Wasn't it a gift to touch for a second?
I'm right beside you
Not thinking about the holiday
Suddenly you wake up now
Not thinking about
All the work that must be done
Suddenly you wake up now
Not thinking about
Little letters on my phone
Suddenly you wake up now
Easy like a child running
Open on some plain
There's a daydream happening
Seems to take a while to make my affection and they take it and it's gone in seconds
Laying on clay tile, restless
Little old prints of some old shepherd
Thinking of the places we want
Are we in the same house or is a house between us?
A place to stay
Place to stay
A place to go and pray today, a place to pass away
A place to stay
Place to stay
A place to go and pray today, a place to pass away
Place to stay, a place to stay
Place to stay, place to stay
Place to stay, a place to stay
Place to stay, place to stay

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.
