They don't understand us
Safety pins and leathers
Better than being a drag queen
False eye-lashes and leathers
Better than mugging old ladies
Or raping innocent girls
Or haning around kids playground
Looking for cheap thrills
We're adding to their fears
They don't like how we look
Our hairstyle or our gear
Ignorance only make them worse
Adding to their fears
They often take one look at us
Their expression says it all
In their world of ego building
We don't rate at all
We're adding to their fears
They acted the same when others came
With drapes and blue suede shoes
Reggae and heavy metal
Jazz and grass roots blues
Prince charles might like break dancing
And di might just like funk
But we don't give a fucking shit
Cause we're still playing to the punks
Safety pins and leathers
Better than being a drag queen
False eye-lashes and leathers
Better than mugging old ladies
Or raping innocent girls
Or haning around kids playground
Looking for cheap thrills
We're adding to their fears
They don't like how we look
Our hairstyle or our gear
Ignorance only make them worse
Adding to their fears
They often take one look at us
Their expression says it all
In their world of ego building
We don't rate at all
We're adding to their fears
They acted the same when others came
With drapes and blue suede shoes
Reggae and heavy metal
Jazz and grass roots blues
Prince charles might like break dancing
And di might just like funk
But we don't give a fucking shit
Cause we're still playing to the punks

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
