"We were on the same ship when the slaves were checked I had to pull your card, you was on the top deck" That's some dopest wordplay on the song and the album. He uses playing cards as a metaphore to tell about the slave times. In card playing you have "checks" (as in Poker) you have deck of card and you can pull a card. Yet to pull someone's card means to exposed his lies. MOREover, if you were a slaves you had to be under the deck of the ship when you had to row etc. On top deck were the slave owners. Let the shit sink in
They kind of summarizing the plight of the Black and how we cant trust each other and you have understand they are sharing that 5% knowledge since they from New York.

Im pretty sure he says civilized ancient classes and not civilization classes, but thats just me. but in the lyrics it says, Through the truth, which manifest through eternal minds Purified gases and masses the same elements That helped spark civilization classes. If you listen closely you can hear that he says civilized ancient classes and not what the lyrics says, they probly got it wrong i quess but i might be wrong.
