GRAVEDIGGAZ - Burn Baby Burn lyrics

rate me

Yo, yo (Gravediggaz)

Gatekeep and Grim Reap'

[repeating in background:] "Burn baby burn, burn baby burn"

[Fruitkwan/Gatekeeper]

Check it, yo, yo

I was unearthed, the womb gave birth

Partitioned to submission, forced to dwell in hell's kitchen

I lived contaminated for months

Stalkin fresh was a casual hunt, peep the game

Waitin for a stray pass-byer

Grab the motherfucker burn him set him on fire

I've been insane since exchange of rings

that the docs in autops', tried to prevent to stop

Biologically I breathe, a rebel

Psychologically havin fights with the devil

Wakin up with gashes, deep river slashes

Hearin the talkin of the motherfucker burned to ashes

Scared to sleep, fearin committin a sin

Stuck my eyelid and brow with a safety pin

Feelin myself lifted yet seein myself, still sittin

Evil has become my faith - I'm slippin

[x8:] "Burn baby burn, burn baby burn"

[Too Poetic/Grym Reaper]

Yo, from the first day, that I burst through the skin of a virgin

I was cursed by sin

A mammal of the sea

Pops named John Samuel Berkeley, out of his nuts came me

True indeed I had soul, even as a tadpole

Grab hold of an egg, just to have a mole

Grew up surrounded by darkness and blood

Swimmin in the cut like Noah in the flood

EH AH AH AH AH!! Drama! Devils attack me inside my MOMMA!

This caused trauma

While I was growin up she was throwin up

It got worse - it's how I met the doc and the nurse

They took an X-ray, kept it to the next DAY

to figure out the best way to posess ME

Trapped in a pool of impurity

without security, nearly ruined me

No immunity, to the curse yet

I saw the Earth sweatin, as poppa prayed on the church step

in the place where they worship

As the nurse crept I got mad nervous

[x8:] "Burn baby burn, burn baby burn"

[Fruitkwan/Gatekeeper]

Tossin turnin, fightin to awake

I woke up with a scream, strapped to the stake

Blood drippin like rain, excruciatin pain

Loosin my grip; episode of "Tales From the Crypt"

Seein faces of death had me shortness of breath

Fallin through the rabbit hole that collapsed my chest

Blood spillin, inside survive like a villain

Killin life, tortorous as Vincent Prince

Tried to run got caught then I lost my tongue

Barrels of dead corpse beatin my head like a drum

Summoned to scotch your head, let's figure

They guided my light, I came back a Gravedigga

The prophet - enhanced by these deadly concoctions

Killin evil that lurk in the dirt, is our only option

Four hundred years in the pits we dwell

And for every drop of blood you will burn in hell, devil

[x8:] "Burn baby burn, burn baby burn"

[Too Poetic/Grym Reaper]

Yo, pain builds my character

Deranged cancer cell begin to damage my shell

Tissues begin to swell

A human pin-cushion needles begin pushin

through my, melanin color, blood begins gushin

Hunger - pain is, fed through my veins

Tryin to maintain body and brain under strain

Belly bein drained from my nose through a catheter

To maintain my stamina, game is high caliber

Flashback my dossier file before the hospital

Lots'll pay a pile of cheddar to see me rock my style

Got lots of smiles from man woman and child

A Gravedigga here runnin wild like the Nile

Ghetto, X-File, the horrorcore bringers

City morgue singers, new rap era beginners

Four years out of seven I remember tourin

And this year I'm measurin my urine

[x16:] "Burn baby burn, burn baby burn"
