It is written, manifest
That all men are brothers, prophecy
We come like blood brothers, word is bond
'Cause blood is thicker than water, ain't alike
From the misty grounds, from the unknown
The shadows, the deep
The darkness, the triple darkness
Gravediggaz, my blood brother, the RZA
I grew up in the violent island of Shaolin
Fifty-five home an' cease thoughts implore
When jackpot rot was hot, I was not
A rusty-ass child with tears an' snots
Acquired the knowledge, how to master my thoughts
My skinny frail body couldn't fuck with the sports
Six feet two still whack on the court
So I stalked New York with a black pitchfork
My style date back to ninety, what?
Cuttin' the box while I be clocks with no socks
Remember the days before your pants would sag
Puerto Ricans on the block just throwin' up tags
Yo, I was born with a rusty spoon as a mouthpiece
Life was hard, got the graves as my company
Hang with my problems just as trouble predicted
To cross the path as I laugh at the vic-ted
No warmth for sure, the vents would spit average
Watchin' devils, fiend like a savage
Blood brothers need me, call, ‽Ooh, ooh”
In a minute, a minute, Ghostface an' all, check it
With the Grym an' the Undertake
Devil's get baked, I'll stiff your ass like an eighth
Tortures an' screams buildin' up my steam
Death to whoever bumrushes through the bloodstream
Yo, somethin' ain't right, I don't get it
I feel a vibe, blood brothers, are you with it?
If I have to choose one or the other
Back the fuck up, spook, yo, that's my blood brother
All, all, all an' together
Blood brothers rollin' together
All, all, all an' together
Blood brothers rollin' together
All, all, all an' together
Blood brothers rollin' together
All, all, all an' together
Blood brothers
Back in the days of Lee's an' BVD's
I grew up deceived by wicked enemies
My lifespan began to dim in the error
When you can't even trust the man in the mirror
Now Gravedigga niggaz receive my trust
An' like Christ, we walk among the thieves an' the sluts
I bring stress like skins on PMS
The street's a bloody mess, there ain't no EMF in sight
My thoughts are to leave the slums
I hustle with beats an' drums, not keys an' guns
My feet are numb, as I walk my dogs
I cut off the fogs with the Gravedigga swords
Life parole as me an' my man is violated
Hookers are neutered an' spay-ted
Snakes are decapitated an' castrated
Niggaz is lost, your whole ark is bein' raided
Shows today are hectic, niggaz'll wreck shit
Lift off rounds an' jet quick
This piece is gettin' heated, fools erupt, a stampedin'
Devils are all defeated by the blood brothers
All, all, all an' together
Blood brothers rollin' together
All, all, all an' together
Blood brothers rollin' together
All, all, all an' together
Blood brothers rollin' together
All, all, all an' together
Blood brothers, blood brothers
Yeah, as the earth erupts
I conduct to destruct your flux when I big up
Catastrophes are blasphemy
Pour a container of brains on your grave through a strainer
I capsize your coffin, I wreck your morphin'
Breakin' devils down like Steve Austin
I gotta rip on a peel for a minute
Let's get some God degree 'cause a blood brother's hard to be
Power equality, Allah sees equality, follow me
Law an' order but I stick it in water
Many heads got slaughtered back in Latin Quarters
Like this brother named Rick was thick but got bit
By the same motherfucker that he ran with
Band of the hand, the Clan's my fam
Somethin' Mom Duke could never understand
From the grave to the gutter, death to another
Who tries to fuck with my blood brothers
All, all, all an' together
Blood brothers rollin' together
All, all, all an' together
Blood brothers rollin' together
All, all, all an' together
Blood brothers rollin' together
All, all, all an' together
Gravediggaz
Blood brothers, my man
Yo, blood brothers
