[Intro: The RZArector, (Grym Reaper)]
Aiyyo Reaper, those kids out there say you're mad thirsty
You got somethin for them to drink?
(Yo we can wet up two cups of blood)..

[Verse One: The RZArector]
Arm to the leg, leg, arm to the head! Yo
Be the Rzarector, resurrect the mental dead

[Verse Two: The Grym Reaper]
G to the R to the Y M Reaper
As I get deeper than a crypt, resurrect, kid!

[Verse Three: The RZArector]
Don't go against the grain, mad slang is my thang
I leave the hearty party with a bang buzza
Boom! Check my tune, it gotcha' hyper
Don't give a fuck about a sucker C-cipher!

[Verse Four: The Grym Reaper]
As you decipher the tricks of a viper
Swine is lethal! ... is evil!
I am original, we can build upon
The ill form, and keep all your brain cells warm

[Verse Five: The RZArector]
Hocus pocus, yo! What's the focus?
Weak techniques you speak, the shit is bogus

[Verse Six: The Grym Reaper]
Even in a mortuary, science will bloom
As I seek the knowl' from the womb to the tomb

[Verse Seven: The RZArector]
Yo! Deadly, deadly, HYAH! Get ready
Here come the styler, wilder than Freddy (dead)
Cause a Krueger, boom, I do ya
Just to let ya know Gravediggaz comin' to ya

[Verse Eight: The Grym Reaper]
Dead stinkin' rotten, your braincells forgotten
The past, you had your bumba raas pickin' cotton
Now ya hate ya knotty hairstyles
I guess you figure the texture is too wild
Child

[Outro: The RZArector]
Two cups of blood, boy
Two cups of blood, girl
Aw, drink that shit up

Gravediggaz is an American hip hop group from New York City, well known for its dark sense of humor and abrasive, menacing soundscapes. The group was formed in 1994 and was effectively a supergroup, bringing together Prince Paul (The Undertaker), Frukwan (The Gatekeeper), Poetic (The Grym Reaper) and RZA (The RZArector). Its inception was largely due to the efforts of Prince Paul. The group is widely credited as being one of the most influential and pioneering groups in the small hip-hop subgenre of horrorcore

According to Frukwan, the group’s name means “digging graves of the mentally dead, and it stood for resurrecting the mentally dead from their state of unawareness and ignorance."Gravediggaz is widely known as a pioneer in the genre of horrorcore, focusing primarily on issues presented as macabre black humor (such as suicide, death, killing, psychopathy, hell, etc..), as a way of presenting social criticism towards the music industry.
