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.
[Chorus:]
There's a witch trapped in this song
There's a witch trapped in this song
She'll hurt you
She'll haunt you
She'll curse you if she want to
There's a witch trapped in this song
There's a witch trapped in this song
She'll hurt you
She'll haunt you
She'll curse you if she want to
[Shaggy 2 Dope:]
There's a witch trapped in this song
No hate and hear the words of the Lotus marked forbidden
Don't memorize or repeat what I say
Grabbed a pen started writin' then blacked out for days
This crazy ass bitch is out for Juggalo souls
Hauntin' this track and over 200 years old
Think about fast forwardin cause you won't live long
Each word is damned 'cause there's a witch trapped in this song
[Blaze Ya Dead Homie:]
I get the fire every night burn her at the steak for all to see
Gas all on the evil person weep and final scream
Or so it seems after ashes gone but on the floor
Possession of the listener trapped in this song
Committin to recite what she writes out of spite
To the people who betrayed and slayed her on that fateful night
Kill yourself non-believers are haunted will never end
As long as the blood still flows from the pen
[Chorus:]
There's a witch trapped in this song
There's a witch trapped in this song
She'll hurt you
She'll haunt you
She'll curse you if she want to
There's a witch trapped in this song
There's a witch trapped in this song
She'll hurt you
She'll haunt you
She'll curse you if she want to
[Violent J:]
There's a witch trapped in this song I don't know how
She haunts the rhythm and she won't come out
She made my headphones bloody and blew all my speakers
I can her it playin' in the farthest reaches
I can't shake the rhyme out of my mind
It plays all the time repeat rewind
Peek deep you'll find she infects the keys
And bends the melodies any way she please
[Monoxide:]
She hides in my mind inside
Rhymed like each word embedded in my mind and keep her
Just like he turned in hell I suddenly blacked out
Awakened by the screams of the witch after passed out
Helpless, feelin' left out and selfless
Possessed by the witch who hides like reflection
Rebellious inside of my musical section
My connection to the witch's selection
[Chorus:]
There's a witch trapped in this song
There's a witch trapped in this song
She'll hurt you
She'll haunt you
She'll curse you if she want to
There's a witch trapped in this song
There's a witch trapped in this song
She'll hurt you
She'll haunt you
She'll curse you if she want to
[Jamie Madrox:]
There's a witch trapped in this song
Imprisoned in the musical dimension for sins and 40 years long
Caged between the snares of force-fed rhythm and ate all 8 pounds like her heart unforgiven
She can remember her life and ever breath she would take
For 4 decades as she passed through music for wreckin' the tape
The compact disk, the digital downloads every time you sample the song it's like a piece of
her soul
[Chorus:]
There's a witch trapped in this song
There's a witch trapped in this song
She'll hurt you
She'll haunt you
She'll curse you if she want to
There's a witch trapped in this song
There's a witch trapped in this song
She'll hurt you
She'll haunt you
She'll curse you if she want to
[Backwards words:]
Of the Old Gods. And that can mean all sorts of Old Gods.
Possession and about Witchcraft goes terribly wrong. You have a fairly explosive sort of combination.
Literally trapped in the sky. Nothing between you and the universe.
Please join us in our circle tonight, Hail and welcome. Hail and welcome.
Practicing witchcraft sky bled is a more open form of expression.
This incantation is kinda sexual and people dancing around a fire, so therefore they mist have
been having a great big sexual orgy

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.
