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.
Thought that I was going crazy
Just havin' one those days, yeah
Didn't know what to do
Then there was you
And everything went from wrong to right
And the stars came out to fill up the sky
The music you were playin' really blew my mind
It was love at first sight
'Cause baby, when I heard you
For the first time I knew
We were meant to be as one
I was tired of running out of luck
Thinkin' 'bout giving up, yeah
Didn't know what to do
Then there was you
And everything went from wrong to right
And the stars came out to fill up the sky
The music you were playin' really blew my mind
It was love at first sight
'Cause baby, when I heard you (when I heard you)
For the first time I knew
We were meant to be as one (to be as one)
'Cause baby, when I heard you
For the first time I knew
We were meant to be as one
Everythin' went from wrong to right
And the stars came out and filled up the sky (up the sky)
The music you were playin' really blew my mind
It was love at first sight
Love at first sight
Love at first sight
Love
Ooh, it was love, it was love at first sight
'Cause baby, when I heard you (when I heard you)
For the first time I knew
We were meant to be as one (to be as one)
'Cause baby, when I heard you (when I heard)
For the first time I knew
We were meant to be as one
It was love, it was love, it was love, it was love
Ooh, it was love, it was love, it was love, it was love
Ooh, it was love, it was love, it was love, it was love
Just havin' one those days, yeah
Didn't know what to do
Then there was you
And everything went from wrong to right
And the stars came out to fill up the sky
The music you were playin' really blew my mind
It was love at first sight
'Cause baby, when I heard you
For the first time I knew
We were meant to be as one
I was tired of running out of luck
Thinkin' 'bout giving up, yeah
Didn't know what to do
Then there was you
And everything went from wrong to right
And the stars came out to fill up the sky
The music you were playin' really blew my mind
It was love at first sight
'Cause baby, when I heard you (when I heard you)
For the first time I knew
We were meant to be as one (to be as one)
'Cause baby, when I heard you
For the first time I knew
We were meant to be as one
Everythin' went from wrong to right
And the stars came out and filled up the sky (up the sky)
The music you were playin' really blew my mind
It was love at first sight
Love at first sight
Love at first sight
Love
Ooh, it was love, it was love at first sight
'Cause baby, when I heard you (when I heard you)
For the first time I knew
We were meant to be as one (to be as one)
'Cause baby, when I heard you (when I heard)
For the first time I knew
We were meant to be as one
It was love, it was love, it was love, it was love
Ooh, it was love, it was love, it was love, it was love
Ooh, it was love, it was love, it was love, it was love
