The Gatekeeper

Lyrics

[Intro] Mm? Gatekeeper! Gatekeeper! Mm? [Verse 1: Esham] I be the gatekeeper, best friends with the Grim Reaper That damn man had a face but no features I hold the key for wicked styles unlocked Dead body six feet deep, you call twice But in the cremation chamber is hot Embalm your body 'cause you just got shot I be the gatekeeper but death has no doubt You come through this gate, the death can get out So I'd advise you to take your ass home The caretaker, undertaker, skull and bones In the cemetery, hear the ghost story tale Two portals in here, one for Heaven, one for Hell Rotting bodies love that smell Some don't wanna be buried, so they yell Falling angels, angels fell Drop you like a hammer on a bed of nails [Chorus] I'm the gatekeeper (I keep the dead in line) Keep it line on the dead (Mm?) (And I put in overtime) I'm the gatekeeper (Gatekeeper!) Keep it line on the dead (Gatekeeper!) I'm the gatekeeper (I keep the dead in line) Keep it line on the dead (Mm?) (And I put in overtime) I'm the gatekeeper (Gatekeeper!) Keep it line on the dead (Gatekeeper!) [Verse 2: Violent J] I'm the gatekeeper, the daytime sleeper The cemetery caretaker, grave plot sweeper Seen fifty thousand dead bodies dropped in the dirt And listened to 'em scream like that shit fuckin' hurts They come knockin' on my toolshed and hide in the dark I have to get my thirty dogs and circle the park I always find 'em in a tree or behind a tombstone Whack 'em with the shovel and drag 'em back home Back in the dirt, I'm sick of fuckin' hearin' 'em complain They all come out when the dirt is soft after it rains I round 'em up like cattle and make my shovel rattle With another stuck in purgatory body I battle And some have unfinished business, but not on my dime If I see your hand poppin' up, it's shattered knuckle time So get out of my face with that ghoulish "boo" shit If I catch you out the grave, you get your skull split [Chorus] I'm the gatekeeper (I keep the dead in line) Keep it line on the dead (Mm?) (And I put in overtime) I'm the gatekeeper (Gatekeeper!) Keep it line on the dead (Gatekeeper!) I'm the gatekeeper (I keep the dead in line) Keep it line on the dead (Mm?) (And I put in overtime) I'm the gatekeeper (Gatekeeper!) Keep it line on the dead (Gatekeeper!) [Verse 3: Southwest Sol] Got a black hood and dagger, deranged, pacin' northeast Masked man, revealin' my face like Jason Voorhees A killer with a bloodthirst, drag 'em through the mud first The gatekeeper got that fresh beat up in a long hearse I snatch a ghost out your soul and [?] bury bones In the graveyard, [?] The gatekeeper [?] like Puerto Rican witchcraft Possess you 'til your eyes roll, bleedin' with your wrists slashed The blade chop, I don't think you'll ever need this You'll be slammin' back for [?] with the ghost of River Phoenix I bury corpses in the bowels of Hell with Lucifer Smokin' white [?] and [?] Rusty [?] carve the alphabet all on your wife's tits The way she get lockjaw when that bitch sucks dick The gatekeeper, swingin' axes at tombstones Split it down the middle, tell the spirits True Tone [Chorus] I'm the gatekeeper (I keep the dead in line) Keep it line on the dead (Mm?) (And I put in overtime) I'm the gatekeeper (Gatekeeper!) Keep it line on the dead (Gatekeeper!) I'm the gatekeeper (I keep the dead in line) Keep it line on the dead (Mm?) (And I put in overtime) I'm the gatekeeper (Gatekeeper!) Keep it line on the dead (Gatekeeper!)
