Lyrics:
Don't kill your brother
Learn to love each other
Don't get mad
'Cause it ain't that bad
Look at who you are
You've come too far
It's in your hands
Just be a man
Get the jelly out your spine
Cobwebs out of your mind

[@kevlar1482]

Ghost can do EVERYTHING. Emotion, wordplay, crazy slang, vivid imagery, one of the best storytellers, gangsta shit, deep relatable life shit, unique flows / delivery, vocab, rhyme schemes ... WTF? 🔥

[@nizxxy]

[@palma420]

This might be the greatest Wu tang song. It goes HARD

[@HTHTHTHTHTHTHTHTHTHTHTHTH]

it does indeed go HARD

[@kingjett98]

Gotta be... What the FUCK is goin' on?! I can't Go to Sleep!

[@theslavepsychology]

But greatest? You must be white...this song is actually one of their weakest...Ghost tripping on this beat

[@JacobTanks]

The fact that they didn’t just sample Issac Hayes’s song, but they invited him to record his vocals for this track is showing us RZA’s perfectionism, and Respect to the Original Artists! ✊ The Song is fire with a deep message! R.I.P Issac Hayes, R.I.P O.D.B Wu-Tang Forever! 👐🏿👐🏾👐🏽👐🏼👐🏻👐

[@glossypompom4465]

This is beyond rap. It’s poetry and social, historical commentary

[@HollowInn]

Damn, Ghost is full of emotion on this one. Love that dude.

[@rooniegyrl]

***** so true! you should hear him on Jah World off this same album

[@HollowInn]

rooniegyrl If he rhymes to the point that his words crack, I do not know. It's the first time I heard him do it. His part in "impossible" is quite intense, but never to the point of a "controlled" breaking out-of-character (cracked words)

[@Powerule23]

Hollow Inn Ghost's fans will argue this range is what makes him such an exceptional talent. About the same time, Jay-Z released a song called "Where Have You Been." Both songs were designed to be "emotional."

[@HollowInn]

It's not much of an argument if they are agreeing with me then :P

[@clinchbeats830]

Hollow Inn one of the greatest

[@Toolxao]

The first verse in this song is probably one of best verses ever in the history of rap

[@Dru_Won]

@ "one of the best verses of all time " is obviously a subjective and debatable thing. But wtf, no hip hop head should find it at all impossible that someone would see either one of these verses as one of the best

[@perspicaciouscritic]

This track has not aged. In fact, like vintage wine, it's gotten better over time.

[@martinlatvian5538]

I do agree with You mate. Back in 2000 My mom did gift me on Christmas a cassette tape "The W" this track was my favorite. Real rap music not like the crap kids puke out these days. You know the ones with rainbow hair and Ferraris who speak less than one language. Wu-Tang is what rap is. They made a cool song Reunited featuring Miri Ben-Ari. The lyrics and Miri playin violin goes together so goood...

[@corc1992]

Back in the days at the age of 8, i couldn't quite understand the appeal of this song. It was on the B-side of the Careful (Click Click) single and i was totally confused because i never heard anything like this in the world of Rap before. Now it's my favorite off of The W. Another thing just hit me. I love how they put two completely contrasting songs on the CD single. One song is about gun violence and the other is about PTSD because of gun violence. I absolutely love how they show both sides of the spectrum. Violence in rap might be a great selling point but the negative affects of said violence should be discussed, too. They did in a genius way and couldn't have picked a better sample than Isaac Haye's Walk On By. That song is so grandios, epic sounding and emotional. That song really sounds like it's been ingrained in Wu's musical DNA long before I Can't Go To Sleep was even a thought.
