Repentance Day Lyrics

[Killah Priest]
Yo, there's still time
As the door close, the cold wind blows
Down America like the Wall of Jericho
Some will walk the sheet close
Many are called but few are chose
Who knows until the day they be exposed
UFO's surround the globe
The world is prepared to explode
So I grab hold of the North Pole
Not tryin to meet the lost soul, at the crossroad
We're bein sucked up into the black hole
Young becomes old, mighty clouds roll
Unfold the scrolls that were foretold
by the forefathers, the end of the world saga
Streets flooded with lava, mommas and pappas
Toddlers, hip-hoppers, and rastas
Rock stars and mobsters, above streets in helicopter
Filled with doctors, readin the death roster
Guts spillin out like pasta
Sky, misty, often tipsy, from off the whiskey
The gypsy, told me, my chances, were risky
Cops, pull up and frisk me
but never could they get me, too shifty
I will go, into my dungeon, and summon up the second comin
People started runnin,
Aliens with hair like rastafarians
Captured, placed inside of aquariums, studied by scientists
This is it, The Apocalypse
I see the mother ship, above the cliff, over Egypt
It made me sea sick
I see the eclipse, and the abyss, the night shifts

Chorus: Hell Razah (repeat 2X)

It's Repentance Day! Repent for your sins
when the gates of Heaven open up and Hell's closin in!

[Grym Reaper]
The archangel imprison my soul into a prism
Usin cell division and molecular collision within me
He listen and analyze the heartbeat and rhythms
of children livin brutalized
My ears became used to the vibes of ruined lives
Sounds in the chamber I was hiden in
was so spine-tinglin I was tremblin
Envisionin the fear, here within a new Millenium
Where rain became toxic, the air's stale and noxious
Comets hit co-ops with force that made blocks split
Flocks tried to escape a fate that made even hardrocks slide
as nuclear dropped out of the sky,
causin burns too severe, for hydroperoxide and sodium oxide
Deep down outta basements
Fish turned lopside and upside down from atomic facelifts
Through the blackness I saw John the Baptist, on the atlas
Holdin the masters to my Psalm under his arm
But long before I even wrote 'em
23 elders each wrote me a Psalm
and placed them within my motor neurons
It contained the aproximate date of The Apocalypse
Deposited in scripts of the 20th century prophets
The clock ticks, tick, tick, tick upon the land borders
I count down the manslaughter
Military camcorders under ocean waters
Red October causin fish to grow arms, legs, tits, and double heads
Mutating the eggs as the radiation spreads over the water beds
I watch Mother Nature as she bled
Grym, was placed in skin casing
to begin lacing hyms through the basement
Won't be no escapin from the South to the North
Where you run ten paces and your face is fallin off!

Chorus

[Hell Razah]
Raised in Hell, waitin for angels like Rafael
Comin from space to trace, they race
Thrown in jail cells I had a purpose since the sperm cell
to bail out and get braille
For the blinded children in Israel
Kids kill forget the bill
for, dollar bills and drug deals by the mayor
Controls the people livin legal
Sit back and chill, until time will reveal
Two thousand and one holy men with force fields
Levitatin space ships, earthquake hits, United States splits
Projects turn to snake pits
Secrets of the Masons came to Revelations
Babylon destroyed by the nations aggravations
Riots in the train stations, criminals grabbin cops
Snakes rattlin, angels draggin
Seven head dragons out the Roman empire, surrounded with fire
Liars in the Pentagon drop their nuclear bombs, ran, panic
But still, was trapped on the planet
Died before the mothership landed
Only the chosen ones understand it
Some can't cause of TV brain damage, no time to be romantic
This day your independence and repentance, pentance, pentance

"Now I see the light, my whole life is moving in one direction.
I see that now, there never has been any choice for me."

Chorus

Gravediggaz was a hip-hop group from New York City. They were well-known for their dark sense of humor and abrasive, menacing soundscapes. The group was formed in 1993 and was effectively a "supergroup", bringing together Prince Paul (formerly producer with De La Soul and Stetsasonic), Frukwan from Stetsasonic, Poetic from the Too Poetic, and RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan. All these artists were signed to Tommy Boy Records in the late 80's. After each of them getting jerked by Tommy Boy, Gravediggaz formed and produced a demo in 91'. Shopping it for three years before finally being picked up by Richie Rich who ran Gee Street(a subsidiary of Island Records) in 1994. The group are widely credited as being one of the most influential and pioneering groups in the small hip hop subgenre of horrorcore.

The group's first album was originally titled Niggamortis; however, the potentially risqué title was changed to 6 Feet Deep for the American market (European versions of the album retained the original title, and also included the bonus track "Pass The Shovel"). Released on August 9 1994, 6 Feet Deep was a mix of over-the-top ghoulish black humor, cartoonish violence reminiscent of the Geto Boys, esoteric references to the Five Percent Nation of Gods and Earths, and gritty, foreboding beats reminiscent of RZA's work with the Wu-Tang Clan. The four members adopted Gravedigga alter-egoes for their work with the group: RZA became RZArecta, Poetic became the Grym Reaper, Prince Paul became the Undertaker, and Frukwan became the Gatekeeper. The three rapping members (without Prince Paul) released a collaborative EP titled "The Hell EP" with UK trip hop artist Tricky in 1995.

The second full-length Gravediggaz album, The Pick, The Sickle and the Shovel (released in 1997) was considerably more mature and socially conscious than 6 Feet Deep, and used calmer and more intricate production. Prince Paul played a considerably smaller role in the making of this album, with many of the production duties now taken care of by RZA's Wu-Tang associates (including True Master and 4th Disciple).

The Gravediggaz' third album, Nightmare in A Minor, was completed in 2001 and only featured two of the original members, Poetic and Frukwan. This album was their darkest work yet, including many references to Poetic's struggle with colon cancer as well as focusing on the more apocalyptic themes within the teachings of the Five Percent Nation. Although RZA did not take part in the making of the album, some Wu-Tang Clan affiliates such as 4th Disciple, True Master and Beretta 9 were involved. The album was mostly produced by Poetic and Frukwan themselves.

Poetic finally succumbed to cancer in July 2001, two months before Nightmare in A Minor was to be released. Frukwan stated in an interview not long after Poetic's death that a new album using leftover Poetic material would be released. The Album has been released in March 2004 and titled '6 Feet Under'. It featured mostly solo tracks by Frukwan and a few unreleased Poetic songs.

In 2010, Gravediggaz recorded a new song, "2 More Cups of Blood". As of 2011, it was revealed that the group had been recording various tracks, minus the late Poetic. Shabazz The Disciple & Killah Priest are said to be heavily involved in the new recording sessions, though not more has been mentioned Read more on Last.fm.
