[Intro: The Grym Reaper]

Sup, this is the Gravedigga jam session (Add a little riff)

What was today-what's today's date? (Today's the 20th)

The 20th, Friday of May, 1994

We chillin' at GLC studios

And we gonna go like this

Got my man B.B. Frukwan (Look at the riff)


[Chorus]

G-to-the-R-to-the-A-to-the-V

E-to-the-D-to-the-I-to-the-G

G-to-the-A-to-the-zig-zag-Z

Gravedigga, nigga, 6 Feet Deep

G-to-the-R-to-the-A-to-the-V (Gravedig)

E-to-the-D-to-the-I-to-the-G

G-to-the-A-to-the-zig-zag-Z (What?)

Gravedigga, nigga, 6 Feet Deep


[Verse 1: The Grym Reaper]

I floss my teeth on a gospel track

I'm not an apostle, but I bring the axe to your back

I chew and attack like Crest on plaque

After that your world is black

You drop into a hole, your mold separates from your soul

Behold, the Gravediggaz told you, "Beware!"

But you didn't listen

So now we appear, eardrums glisten, haha


[Chorus]

G-to-the-R-to-the-A-to-the-V

E-to-the-D-to-the-I-to-the-G

G-to-the-A-to-the-zig-zag-Z

Gravedigga, nigga, 6 Feet Deep


[Verse 2: The Gatekeeper]

When I wreck, I commence to detect

Ready to dissect, so come step alive and die

Next murder is mayhem, diggin' graves is a regular

Treacherous mangler, the Boston Strangler

Heated and trapped in a fury of hate

Daredevil, the rhyme rebel, my art terminates

Subduin' and pulverizing your head

You bled, fell dead and your tombstone read

RZA-to-the-recta, Grym-to-the-Reap

Unda-to-the-taker, Gate-to-the-Keep

Creepin' through tha ghettos and the slums and streets

Gravedigga, nigga, 6 Feet


[Verse 3: The RZArector]

Darkness shall fall upon y'all

Who slept on the styles that crept through the door

The grave, behave, we come to save

So don't be afraid of the dark, we spark

Like light, ignite, excite, excite

It's right, it's right, come follow the light

And see what I see and be what I be

Tha G-to-the-R-to-the-A-to-the-V... E


[Chorus]

G-to-the-R-to-the-A-to-the-V

E-to-the-D-to-the-I-to-the-G

G-to-the-A-to-the-zig-zag-Z

Gravedigga, nigga, 6 Feet Deep


[Verse 4: The Gatekeeper]

In the mind, I come with the sparks from the attic

Yet, psychopathic brain tracks is tragic

Twist liftin' mist like riff of a Taurus

Deep in the forest, I slay for the porridge

Yet, it's cold, you die slow like a tortoise

Deep in my chorus, your result, diggamortis

Let me see, I'm castin' disease

Contrary, yet some very 'cause you bleed


[Chorus]

G-to-the-R-to-the-A-to-the-V

E-to-the-D-to-the-I-to-the-G

G-to-the-A-to-the-zig-zag-Z

Gravedigga, nigga, 6 Feet Deep


[Verse 5: The RZArector]

Demonic, the sonnet is bangin' like chronic

And niggas be Audi faster than Sonic

Bubonic, plutonic, you're best to hop on it

Beats bein' programmed - ASR Ensoniq

Styles compiled for miles and childs

Bodies in aisles and upside-down smiles

Deflect, catch wreck from sun-moon sect

Larynx shines light then thought reflects


[Chorus]

G-to-the-R-to-the-A-to-the-V

E-to-the-D-to-the-I-to-the-G

G-to-the-A-to-the-zig-zag-Z

Gravedigga, nigga, 6 Feet Deep


[Verse 6: The Grym Reaper]

I came on the scene in a wheel that Ezekiel seen

To exploit your flaws like Philistines

Look in the sky, oh my, it is I

No alibi, so don't even try

To feed me swine and Grym Reaper's mind

Is so refined, I'm deep, I'm deep

I'm deep as a hill or a cliff or a steep

Incline at the bottom of an ocean reef
