I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
You can find me at my best when I'm naked
When I'm lying by the pool getting faded
See I used to give a fuck, now I'm jaded
I'm allergic to the bullshit (allergic to the bullshit)
Alright, orange soda (yeah), Deepak Chopra (yeah)
Versace robe and my Gucci loafer
Sex on the sofa, that's my yoga
'Til my last breath, no regrets 'cause I
Do it like it's roulette, roll it, burn it, lose it
Hit that black and red, keep spending decks, I keep it moving
Put that shit behind me, keep my diamonds blinding
Gotta keep it suave like I'm Sade in the 90s
Do it like it's roulette, roll it, burn it, lose it
Hit that black and red, keep spending decks, I keep it moving
Put that shit behind me, keep my diamonds blinding
Gotta keep it suave like I'm Sade in the 90s
You can clearly see my vibe is tremendous
But you won't see through the tints in my Tesla
I be blocking out the world, it's a mess, yeah
I'm allergic to the bullshit (allergic to the bullshit)
Alright, orange soda, Deepak Chopra
Versace robe and my Gucci loafer
Sex on the sofa, that's my yoga
'Til my last breath, no regrets 'cause I
Do it like it's roulette, roll it, burn it, lose it
Hit that black and red, keep spending decks, I keep it moving
Put that shit behind me, keep my diamonds blinding
Gotta keep it suave like I'm Sade in the 90s
Do it like it's roulette, roll it, burn it, lose it
Hit that black and red, keep spending decks, I keep it moving
Put that shit behind me, keep my diamonds blinding
Gotta keep it suave like I'm Sade in the 90s
No trouble ever stayed long enough
Thank god every day for my come-up
Somebody tryna slight me, it's all love, it's all love
When I do it like it's roulette, roll it, burn it, lose it
Hit that black and red, keep spending decks, I keep it moving
Put that shit behind me, keep my diamonds blinding
Gotta keep it suave like I'm Sade
Do it like it's roulette, roll it, burn it, lose it
Hit that black and red, keep spending decks, I keep it moving
Put that shit behind me, keep my diamonds blinding
Gotta keep it suave like I'm Sade in the 90s
Do it like it's (do it like it's)
Yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

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.
