Graveyard
I.C.P. Lyrics

Gee Bob, If I wouldn't have went inside of that Luby's guy I would still be alive guy If I was, that guy David Koresh guy. Which is me? What I did I'd still be alive Charley Manson, I'd still be alive. You know what I'm talkin' bout?
The song starts with the artist questioning the choices that lead to someone's death. They mention different infamous figures and how they could still be alive had they avoided certain events. The point is that even famous people cannot escape death, and the artist is trying to remind the audience that life is fleeting and that they should cherish every moment.

Peep this game, there's no way you can escape, death So the only way you can escape death. You gotta do good
The artist continues to address the inevitability of death and argues that the only way to escape it is by doing good deeds. This could be interpreted as a call to action for listeners to strive to do good in their lives.

It don't matter what your name is Push and you shove You know death is promised to us from the man up above Ain't no way you can stop it So God be with ya
The artist emphasizes that death does not discriminate based on the individual's identity or status, and that everyone is promised death by a higher power. The artist replaces the phrase 'goodbye' with 'God be with ya,' alluding to the idea that the end may be near and the individual should make their peace with God.

Your life will flash in front of your face Went the reaper come get cha Remember when you were alive you said that things will change Six feet deep, your in the casket talkin' bout things feel strange
The artist describes the moment of death and how one's entire life flashes before their eyes. The line 'six feet deep, you're in the casket talkin' bout things feel strange' suggests that even after death, the individual may feel a sense of confusion or bewilderment.

Ain't nobody gon' heal your we celebrate when we kill ya And if you got up out that casket, would nobody come near ya But if you walked up to me and tell me you didn't sin I might just gon' insane and cut your brain and kill you again
The artist suggests that death is treated as a celebration by some and that it is a permanent state. He also implies that redemption after death is unlikely, and that even if it were possible, it would be met with disdain or insanity.

No matter who you are Even if you are a star If you drive a nice car Of if your house is made of straw You'll get the grave yard You can escape the grave yard
The artist reiterates that death is inevitable and that no matter what an individual's status or material possessions, they will all eventually end up in the graveyard. The line 'you can't escape the graveyard' implies that death cannot be avoided, but it can be accepted.

If you can't take it no mo' Cause you don't have no cash flow It don't matter don't you know If you are rich or if you are po' You get the grave yard You can't escape the grave yard
The artist underscores that one's financial situation has no bearing on their fate and that even impoverished individuals are not necessarily exempt from dying. The repetition of 'you can't escape the graveyard' emphasizes that death is final and that regardless of who you are or what you have, it is unavoidable.

Shoots you in the head if you try to take mind I don't give a fuck I don't mind dying You know nuthin but money stays on my mind Psych Ward nigguz gon' pack the nine
The artist describes a violent scenario where aggression leads to death. He emphasizes that he is unbothered by death and that he only focuses on making money. The line 'Psych Ward nigguz gon' pack the nine' suggests that the artist and those aligned with him are not afraid of using force.

Psycho Nip makin' history, and I know these haters are feeling me I heard you talk about killing me but you'll die first you would live to see The enemies run from the Psych Ward crew Real home boys, I might have two If you get mad hit the brew, keep this in mind that I will kill you
The artist brags about his reputation and the fear he instills in others. He alludes to the idea that people have threatened him before but that he always emerges victorious. The line 'keep this in mind that I will kill you' is a clear threat.

Anybody kills I'm busting lead, lady screamed out somebody is dead Paramedics came the person bled Messin' with the Psych you'll keep losing your head
The artist continues to describe violent scenarios, stating that he won't hesitate to use violence to protect himself and his own. The song implies that the artist and his crew are willing to do whatever it takes to survive.

Y'all muthafuckas better out there better get y'all life together 'Cause if y'all don't... It's a new millennium (it's a new millennium) And we gotta make sure man, we're in the right mind state 'Cause the wrong mind state, can get you caught up in judgment with God And that leaves, and that leaves, to a quick, death
The artist ends the song with a warning for those listening to get their lives in order because the new millennium is coming. He reminds listeners that a negative or dangerous mentality can lead to eternal consequences and that death is final.
