[Intro: Killah Priest]

Time... come...

Wake up... what?... wake up..

I can't get up yet

What we have here is the experiment

(My eyes, I can't see)

It's called the 6 million dollar man

(I can't see) He has the speed of a cheetah

The site (I can't see) of a falcon (my arms)

Strength (what's happenin to me) of a hundred guerillas

(What's gonna happen?) Welcome to the new world

We gonna give you a name (What is you talkin about?)

What should we call him? Let's come together in one mind

What should we call him? We should call him The Electric Man

Right, we gon give you a time, to break out

Time of life, and then the hunt goes on

Ready? Let's start the clock

Electric... Get outta here, I'mma break out, I'mma break out

[Killah Priest]

Outta one came many, Electric Man runnin through the Electric City

Ruled and govern by electricity, it's like a dream

Our superiors are pathetic and they show synthetic pity

Road blocks are set up by robots, cops to check your code wit a red dot

You can hear man plead for his self esteem

For the love of God, we all sufferin

We fall asleep, they handcuff us in our dreams

We wake up and scream, the world explodes if it's overload, we hug our pillows

Heads inbreeded wit barcodes, it begins to burn, slow like charcoal

Millions of civilians ride by the carloads

They head to the ships of the cargos, they head back to the Congo's

After the bomb goes, ban 'fro's, Beetle brand clothes

You wake up in your dreams yellin, silent screams

Every time you breath is recorded by scientist teams

DNA, mind is demonic survey's when you speak, they confuse you wit wordplay

Claimin Christ never rose on the third day

That was a Good Friday, and the day he fell was on a Thursday

The undisciplined, the ignorant, the insufficient

And the unworthy, screamin for God's mercy

R.L.S. get bloodthirsty, many were persecuted

Executed, that have no soluted

Family trees were uprooted, anyone found on the streets were obsolete

Military killed the unnecessary, cops would cheat

Death, grenades, blades, anti matter rays

Through age, hurricane tidal waves of slaves

Follow the maze through the grave

Those who disobey, now obey

Somethin satanic invades the planet

Panic, the Sun of Man versus the Uncle Sam

Line intruder meets the computer, alert ya sharp shooters

Send the weapons that where nuclear up to Jupiter

New stars, Lucifer, global drag that space this

And the racist of the great wisdom of Malcolm X

I'm stressed on house arrest

New World Order, the slaughter as Solomon and Godorrah

Beast rises from the bottom of the water

Havin seven heads wit plagues

The feds versus the dreads, the reunion of the Soviet Union is ruined

Watchin every day like the movie True Men

Thugs push off their last minute drugs

Marines jump in their submarines and get their machine guns

No more sunlight, the final fight

Bring forth your pitchforks and your pipes

And you shovels, the rebels and the Devils are now leveled

Bacteria becomes superior, man becomes inferior

And the day of the prophets, so did the little child

Lookin through the windows of Spartan

The sky fill wit total darkness, the world of total stillness

Energy arisin from a local village, no more privilege

Men hearts'll feel this, vocals are silent quiet, do you feel it?

Peace and quiet, no more riots, soft like whispers

We see men wit gold slippers, read the scrolls of scriptures

Garments were angelic, gold robes that were sowed wit velvet

Silver helmets, children were silk, drinkin soy milk

Laughin and lookin at the world that they built

Calm lake, smooth evergreens, new redeem

Food for the kings and the queens

They all seen shakin the tambourine, shakin all the cymbal

They dwell in the Temple of the Mental

No more poverty stricken, robbery, guns be clickin

Forever burnin in this furnaces of affliction

Over dose and drug addiction

Thugs who just buy the system, will shut the blood of the victim

Sacrilegious, savages trapped in prisons

Trynna adapt the wisdom, they sit back and listen

To the old timers, the beast out the clotheslines

Bullets claim the lives of minors, shoot-outs in front of local spots

Even TV's takin photo shots, we in the third world

I'll give my life before my word fail

I'll give my life before my word fail

I'll give my life before my word fail

I'll give my life before my word fail

Terrestrial escape through the east gate

Electric types of prones, protons, neutrons

Electric soul, electric glow, electric probes

Electric lights light up the night

Neon, skies, neon site

Note the flight, first man, mind and sometimes

Resemble Einstein's now turn into Frankenstein's

What's yours is mine, I'll give my life before my word fail

I'll give my life before my word fail

I'll give my life before my word fail

I'll give my life before my word fail
