Lords Of The Underground - Grave Digga lyrics

[Intro] [Pastor speaking] We are, gathered here today. To say goodbye to the dearly de-parted [Hook] Yo he was bound to be a grave digga Bound to be a grave digga Bound to be a grave digga He was bound to dig his grave [Verse One] [Doitall] You pushed up daisy's more than once in your life You might as well meow because you played your nine lives So here's a shovel Dig like a digger And don't shoot your yaps cause I might pull the trigger I seen it happen to a brother who was rappin' Frontin' real fat, and kept a crowd clappin' But now he's loose, lost all his juice Once a big star now his necks in a noose He couldn't hack it The fame and the glory He popped a lot of sh**, but that's another story I mean he blew up, there wasn't nothin' he couldn't do The only problem now is that his head blew up too Once platinum and now he can't sell a tune I wonder how it feels to have your life go "Kaboom" Reminiscin' how it was back in the days Before the front When his records got airplay Started off hard Ended up soft You should of stayed street till you paid your cost My record company can kiss My manager can lick And my boys...can get my dilznick Now that's the attitude you love and you live by You used to eat steaks now you're beggin' for a french fry You didn't know but I already figured That one day someday Bound to be a grave digga [Hook] Bound to be a grave digga Bound to be a grave digga Bound to be a grave digga Bound to dig his grave Bound to be a grave digga Bound to be a grave digga Bound to be a grave digga Yo, he was bound to dig his grave [Verse Two] [Mr. Funkee] You're Mr. Grave Digga, your mind is like a shovel Every time I turn around it's diggin' you deeper into trouble I don't understand some of the stuff that you do kid Tryin' to get yours, makin' moves that are stupid You see life is like one big comedian Who's tryin' to make you laugh but you still don't know the half Everyday, all day, you got's to learn the hard way (You'll never play me) Yeah, that's what they all say You play the tough role as if you are thorough (I'm the mack baby. A king like a pharaoh) At least you thought you were until you met this girl that you wanted to be your queen Now you find out what I mean You push up because you really want the lay Down to one knee cause you ain't too proud to beg She kicks it back and everything goes swell Next thing you know you're in the back of a hotel You're ready to hit the skins and everything is gettin' hectic So you start your tactics without a prophylactic Ooooh It's too late to cry now She was livin' foul, you can kiss your a** goodbye now She had A.I.D.S, you ready made a blunder (Down with O.P.P.!) Now you're down six feet under All just because you had a girl that wanted to stick ya Give this man a shovel, make way for the grave digga [Hook] [x2] Bound to be a grave digga Bound to be a grave digga Bound to be a grave digga Bound to dig his grave Bound to be a grave digga Bound to be a grave digga Bound to be a grave digga Yo, he was bound to dig his grave [Verse Three] [Doitall] I take walks through my underground graveyard Jumpin' over tombstones of those who are hard You picked your casket by givin' out a** kicks To those who didn't know about my ghetto tactics You stuck and robbed, cause that's the way you live And once in a shootout you caught a little kid Look out my window saw you pimpin' through my area Real hard And makin' people scared of ya But there was one who was simply not havin' it Pulled out a shank and cold started stabbin' ya And now you wanna change the way you were livin' Shoulda, coulda, woulda But ya didn't [Mr. Funkee] Think about how many lives could be saved If people would behave instead dig their own graves I try to sit you down, listen child, let me tell you now But you're livin' foul That's why you're where you're at now So there you have it You're just another name In the Ain't-That-A-Shame Grave Digga Hall Of Fame One day you're rich, next you're beggin' for a quarter Don't you know your mouth gets you in hot water? There's one thing that I have to say to you Watch what you say don't watch what you do Cause if you don't then you'll be just like the next n***a (How you livin' huh?) Like a grave digga
