Gravediggaz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Intro: Ryzarector, Grym Reaper

Aiyyo Reaper, those kids out there say you're mad thirsty
You got somethin for them to drink?
Yo we can wet up two cups of blood

Verse One:

Arm to the leg, leg, on to the head! Yo
Be the Ryzarector, resurrect the mental dead
G to the are to the why M Reaper
As I get deeper than a crypt, resurrect, kid!
Don't go against the grain, mad slang is my thang
I leave the hearty party with a bang buzza
Boom! Check my tune, it gotcha hyper
Don't give a fuck about a sucker see-cipher!
As you decipher the tricks of a viper
Swine is lethal! ... is evil!
I am original, we can build upon
The ill form, and keep all your braincells warm!
Hocus pocus, yo! What's the focus?
Weak techniques you speak, the shit is bogus
Even in a mortuary, slangin' some boom
As I seek the knowl' from the womb to the tomb

Verse Two:

Yo!
Deadly, deadly, HYAH! Get ready
Here come the styler, wilder than Freddy
Dead
Cause a Krueger, boom, I do ya
Just to let ya know Gravediggaz comin' through ya
Dead stinkin' rotten, your braincells forgotten
The past, you had your bumba raas pickin' cotton
Now ya hate ya knotty hairstyles
I guess you figure the texture is too wild
Child
Two cups of blood, boy
Two cups of blood, girl
Aw, drink that shit up

Overall Meaning

The song "2 Cups of Blood" by Gravediggaz is a display of gritty lyricism and a representative of horrorcore rap. The intro starts with an exchange between Ryzarector and the Grym Reaper, where they talk about kids accusing him of being thirsty, and the Reaper replies by saying that he can wet up two cups of blood. The first verse is rapped by Ryzarector, where he talks about his ability to resurrect the mentally dead and his unique flow pattern, which is full of tricky wordplays and rhymes. He also boasts about his authenticity and talent, claiming that he can build upon the ill form and keep all the brain cells warm. In the second verse, the Grym Reaper takes over, asking the listeners to get ready for his deadly style, which is wilder than the famous character from Nightmare on Elm Street, Freddy Krueger. He then talks about the societal woes that black people have to go through, including the past of forced labour and its ramifications, the texture of their hair, and hatred that it generates. The concluding lines ask the listeners to have two cups of blood and drink it up.


The song paints a picture of the world that is full of darkness, where horror stories are a reality, and people often resort to drastic solutions to deal with their everyday problems. It also offers a commentary on the societal pressures and the historical mistreatment of people of colour. The song is quite symbolic and has a darker undertone to it. It remains a fantastic example of the horrorcore rap genre and showcases vivid storytelling.
