Esham
The Gatekeeper*
[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 [?] (Mm?) (And I put in overtime)
I'm the gatekeeper (Gatekeeper!)
Keep it [?] (Gatekeeper!)
I'm the gatekeeper (I keep the dead in line)
Keep it [?] (Mm?) (And I put in overtime)
I'm the gatekeeper (Gatekeeper!)
Keep it [?] (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 [?] (Mm?) (And I put in overtime)
I'm the gatekeeper (Gatekeeper!)
Keep it [?] (Gatekeeper!)
I'm the gatekeeper (I keep the dead in line)
Keep it [?] (Mm?) (And I put in overtime)
I'm the gatekeeper (Gatekeeper!)
Keep it [?] (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 [?]

[Chorus]
I'm the gatekeeper (I keep the dead in line)
Keep it [?] (Mm?) (And I put in overtime)
I'm the gatekeeper (Gatekeeper!)
Keep it [?] (Gatekeeper!)
I'm the gatekeeper (I keep the dead in line)
Keep it [?] (Mm?) (And I put in overtime)
I'm the gatekeeper (Gatekeeper!)
Keep it [?] (Gatekeeper!)
