[Intro: 5 Percenter]
Yo, God, do the knowledge, God, it's like this:
This world is ruled and controlled by societies
That exist within the societies
That exist within the societies, God
You understand?
These secret societies is maneuverin'
Within society to control society
That's why society is outta control
33rd and one third, I heard the illuminated ones, huh
[Verse 1: Amar Pep]
The last days we're facin'
That's the case when the emancipation proclamation
Decays, back to the plantation
The government plottin' a nuclear detonation
Destroyin' vegetation, water
The New World Order means starvation
The eye on the dollar symbolize illumination
A society secretly overseein' population
Understand it, the government plans to enslave the planet
I'm trapped in a phase, thinkin' of ways, can it.. happen?
85 percent of the population nappin'
Prayin' in churches, catchin' the Holy Ghost clappin'
Across the border travelin', I found the Nile across the water
Teachin' my peoples the age of the New World Order
Twenty-five to click blood line
We toast off wines, snap clips in 9's
With minds more advanced than Einstein and Merlin
Knock down walls like Berlin
To get out, we can't get in, we can't win
[Hook: Barsham]
We can't get out, and we can't get in
We can't get out, and we can't get in
We can't get out and we can't get in
We can't get out!
[Verse 2: Barsham]
See, I wrote up a composition
I made a decision for competition
Some invite lifestyles that I be livin'
With tribes I been in, with the little brothers that's sinnin'
So I started to vision, crack fiends formin' in a collision
My mind is in that position for soul fishin'
My only dream was to be a musician
Better yet, a mortician
That's the life condition 'cause everybody knows they gonna die
Crackers, they livin' lies
I inovise, plus I feels the vibes, mother cries
Plenty mothers that tries
Now that she knows her son's gonna die
Take a trip past the line, now ease the mind
Escape from the crimes of New York Times
'Cause I'm one of the brothers who made it throughout the others
The Rotten Apple's tryin' to break loose from these shackles
No doubt, I follow routes, guzzlin' Hennessy, mixed with 'stal
In this ghetto, we can't get out, we can't win
[Hook: Barsham]
We can't get out, and we can't get in
We can't get out, and we can't get in
We can't get out and we can't get in
We can't get out!
[Verse 3: AZ]
Nothin' can stop the nation
Elevation — daily operation
Since man creation, we increase the population
Proper education got us tappin' in information
Preventin' from gettin' locked under top-secret investigation
Guiliani's part of Illuminati
A million minds in one body designed to decline society
They want at least 1.2 billion deceased
While the rest is left with the mark of the beast on they dome-piece
Prepare, the signs of the times now are near
That outbreak scare found in Zaire soon be here
So tune your ears, and be saved from a slave
'Cause in a matter of days, I'mma EQ your brainwaves
AZ the Visualiza is wise as Elijah
Here to advise ya, and bring out the realness that's up inside ya
Intoxication, my voice box rocks the nation
Street affiliation, a Doe or Die situation
[Hook x2: Barsham]
We can't win
We can't get out, and we can't get in
We can't get out, and we can't get in
We can't get out, and we can't get in
We can't get out!
