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.
Drip, drip, drip, drop, drop, drop, drop, drip, drip
Drip, drip, drip, drop, drop, drop, drop, drip, drip

[Shamari]
Your love runs through me like the rain
Oh, and I like it
And you show me that you care
Oh, Leny
1 - Leny, love everlasting
I never want to be without you
Leny, love everlasting
I never want to be without
[Natina]
Yo, yo, check this out
Who said a brother can't buy you whips
And can, mother, give me all of it
Buyin' jewelry, I'm pawnin' it
Look at where I'm storin' at
Matter of fact, I just saw ya ex at the club
Givin' women much love, who be givin' 'em Lugz
Sippin' Cris' in the cup
Is that the one you said you could die for
The one you said you would lie for
Leny give it up, what what what what
[Brandi]
I've been reminiscin'
'Bout your ways
Things that are just so mean
Got me thinkin' about you
Again and again
[Shamari]
The way you make me feel
I knew that it could only be love
I miss you
And I hope that I
Could be the only one you will always dream of
Repeat 1
[Natina]
Huh huh, yea yea, what what
Everybody knows I'm the capital
Diva girl, nonchalant
I think not, protocol
Then I'm back shootin' craps with those other dogs
Pinnocle face, I erase
All of them fools on a paper chase
A dime piece and I'mma keep shinin' like ice sheets
Remember me by my what what what
Repeat 1
Repeat 1
Repeat 1

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.

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I am absolutely clueless to the meaning of this song. Although I'm wondering if Leny is an acronym for "Love everlasting never wanna be without you."
