This line refers to 2 things:
- The story of the Boy Who Cried Wolf, where the boy, on the lookout for wolves, calls false alarms so often that when the real thing shows nobody believes him.
- Werewolves only come out in the light of the full moon
So basically El will not cry out for help until he sees a goddamn werewolf.

This is a reference to the metaphorical thread of life, which in Greek mythology was controlled by the Three Fates (or “moirai”). Each Fate had their own responsibilities. One would spin the thread, another would measure it, and the third would cut it.
By knitting his own thread he is immune to and controls the whims of destiny and fate, and he’d be immortal as long as the thread isn’t cut.

To “get bent” means to get fucked up on alcohol and/or drugs.
A “bender” is a period of time spent getting bent (preferably longer than a day).
“Futura” may be a reference to Futura 2000, who was a pioneering graffiti artist who came up in the 80s in New York city. He was one of the first to do abstract street art, as the trend at the time was lettering.
“Futura” is also the name of a typeface, or font, that was used extensively in the Watchmen and V for Vendetta graphic novels and film adaptations. Both works, by Alan Moore, share thematic elements with much of El-P’s music such as anarchy and a dystopic vision of the future.
Also, the Batmobile from the 1960s TV series (the one with Adam West) was a modified Lincoln “Futura”.
He continues on from “Futura” to “rama”, which is a reference to the TV show Futurama, and makes the previous use of “bender” a shout-out to the alcoholic, whore-mongering, chain-smoking gambler, who is also a robot.
“Ra-ma-dom” is almost phonetically identical to Ramadan, which is the 9th month of the Islamic calendar that is characterized by fasting to encourage patience, humility, spirituality and subservience to God.
“Dom-inant gene” is a term in genetics in which an allele overpowers, or masks, the expression of another allele for that particular gene.
ie. So there’s 2 alleles (A and B), where A is dominant. Out of the 3 possible combinations (AA, AB, BB), the probability of A being expressed is 2:1, as it dominates the “B” allele in the “AB” combination.
Finally, “Dominant gene gone bad” is most likely a reference to Good Genes Gone Bad, an article written by Pete Myers. The main point is that a “good” gene can become a “bad” gene due to environmental (ie. diet, experience, contamination) influences. After they’ve turned, they start causing disease, such as cancer. This could be El-P being self-referential, as the album this song is off of is called Cancer for Cure.

This line has a number of possible meanings.
“Inspector Gadget”:
1.) A reference to the popular animated TV show of the late 80s to 90s. This show seems popular in hip hop, other notable references are here and here.
2.) This could be a play on words, as Inspector Gadget also sounds like “inspect her gadget”, which has an obvious sexual connotation.
“Ratchet” can apply to 3 different things as well:
1.) Actual ratchets
2.) A gun
3.) A girl you want to fuck, as you want to “turn out that ratchet”, as in this song
This line is practically a sextuple entendre with meanings that range from “I’m Inspector Gadget holding a wrench” to “I’m inspecting her pussy with a gun”.
