Gravediggaz was an American hip-hop group from New York City, known for its dark sense of humor and abrasive, menacing soundscapes. Gravediggaz blended hardcore hip hop, gangsta rap and heavy metal with horror elements to pioneer the hip-hop subgenre of horrorcore.
The group was formed in 1992, bringing together Prince Paul (The Undertaker), Frukwan (The Gatekeeper), Poetic (The Grym Reaper) and RZA (The RZArector). It came about largely due to the efforts of Prince Paul.

...1-800-SUICIDE... by Gravediggaz -------------------...............
*from '6 Feet Deep' (1994)*
Chorus 1:
AmAm/GD/F#FE7 Suicide, it's a suicide, budabuy-by, suicide, it's a sui-cide. AmAm/GD/F#FE7 Suicide, it's a suicide, budabuy-by, suicide, it's a sui-cide.
Verse 1:
AmAm/GD/F#FE7 So you wanna die, com-mit suicide, dial 1-800- Cyanide line. AmAm/G Far as life; yo, it ain't worth it, D/F#FE7 Put a rope around your neck and jerk it.
AmAm/G The trick didn't work; D/F#FE7 Your life was fucked up from the first day of birth. AmAm/G After watching Jackie Gleason, walk into a precinct, D/F#FE7 Gun down the captain, for no fucking reason. AmAm/GD/F# And get some L.S.D, or a drink from the bar, FE7 Get behind your wheel, and crash the car. AmAm/G Like Desert Storm got bombs for the war; D/F#FE7 Con-front an alligator; let it eat ya raw. AmAm/GD/F# Back to the function, riding the caboose to Hell, FE7 BZZZZZT, touched the third rail. AmAm/GD/F#FE7 You fucked up chicken; now you just got fried; 'cos it's a suicide.
Chorus 2:
AmAm/GD/F#FE7 Suicide, it's a suicide, budabuy-by, suicide, it's a sui-cide. AmAm/GD/F#FE7 Suicide, it's a suicide, budabuy-by, suicide, it's a sui-cide.
Verse 2:
AmAm/G Hey you, little rich kid; what's your beef? D/F#FE7 Come and tell the Grym Reaper, all of your grief. AmAm/G You asked for a Benz, and you only got a Jeep, D/F#FE7 Your pop's got endz, but yo, he's mad cheap.
AmAm/G Maybe you're a bastard child, you think, D/F#FE7 Mom and dad are white, and you're dark as ink. AmAm/G Maybe you're Sicilian, with a tan? D/F#FE7 But you hate lasagne, and the pizza man.
AmAm/G Now you stand on the Grave Digga locked, and, D/F#FE7 You're singing the blues about the rough life you've got, Am/G Not! You don't wanna live no more; D/F#FE7 I guess you're really ready for the graveyard tour.
AmAm/GD/F# When you get home; just seal up your windows and you doors, FE7Am Turn your oven on high, for a-bout four hours. Am/GD/F# Light you a blunt, kiss your ass good-bye; FE7 You gassed yourself, 'cos it's a suicide.
Chorus 3:
AmAm/GD/F#FE7 Suicide, it's a suicide, budabuy-by, suicide, it's a sui-cide. AmAm/GD/F#FE7 Suicide, it's a suicide, budabuy-by, suicide, it's a sui-cide.
Break:
(n.C) Yep, I've said it before and I'll say it again; Life moves pretty fast if you don't stop, And look around every once in a while, you could miss it.
Verse 3:
AmAm/G Six fucking Devils stepped up, playing brave God, D/F#FE7 Had the fucking nerve to try and enta my grave yard. AmAm/G I'm the Ryzarector, be my sacrifice; D/F#FE7 Com-mit suicide and I'll bring you back to life.
AmAm/G The first was convinced; stuck a water hose, D/F#FE7 In his mouth at full blast, so his head can ex-plode. AmAm/G Second said; hmm, that's good but I can top it; D/F#FE7 Put an axe up to his head and then he chopped it. AmAm/G Blood shot out in every direction, D/F#FE7 The rest didn't know what to do; I made sug-gestions. AmAm/GD/F# Put a slug in your mug, overdose on a drug, FE7 Wet your hair, stick a knife in the plug. AmAm/G Or be like Richard Pryor; set your balls on fire, D/F#FE7 Better yet; go hang your-self with a barbed wire.
AmAm/G Three and Four, fell deep into spell; D/F#FE7 And ran to the zoo, locked them-selves in a lion's den. AmAm/G Number Five, said; it ain't worth being alive, D/F#FE7 Smoked a dust suede, mixed it with Cyanide. AmAm/G The only one to es-cape was number Six; D/F#FE7 He went home, sat in the tub and slit his wrists.
Am Yeah, more graves to dig. Am/GD/F#F (n.C) Goodbye, there's no need to cry... 'cos we all die.
