[Ice Cube] Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
It ain't over motherfuckers
(no shit!)

[RZA]
As we enter, the beginning of the end
(the sounds you are about to hear, may be devastating to your ear)
The end, of the beginning
Fr-from the pits, from the, ark
It ain't over, it ain't never gonna be over!
We got them all-new niggas
Grave, Gravediggaz!
The shadow, the dark side
Wh-when you least expect
Uh-under the bed!
Lurking, lurking! Yeah, forever
Gatekeeper
Grym Reaper
RZArector
Undertaker
There's-the-there's nowhere to run
No-nowhere to hide
It's a suicide, a suicide
Cuz we got the constant elevation, constant, constant
So witness the diary of a madman
Come come, as we bring the sorceress, the sorceress
(I love it, I love it I love it!)
Pass-pa-pass the shovel kid
We gotta dig another grave
One, eight hundred, suicide

[Gate Keeper]
The world it ain't safe it ain't safe no more
The world it ain't safe no more
(repeats until track vanishes)

Gravediggaz *gravediggaz* GRAVEDIGGAZ!

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.
