- Artist: Sudden Death
- Album: Fatal Accident Zone
- Title: Dead Rappers
- feat. Hot Waffles
- [Tom Rockwell - Sudden Death]
- I'm being haunted by the ghosts of dead rappers from both coasts
- Puttin out albums long after they've decomposed
- So their lyrics are a little behind the times
- But how do they get the dead to write rhymes?
- Song after song on the radio I hear
- is by a guy who died, in the yesteryear
- But it's the best I hear of all the crap on the air
- It's pretty sad when you compare it to those still breathin the air
- I've been lookin for a deal since I wrote my first song
- Now I finally realized what I've been doin wrong
- It's not my cheesy beats or that my lyrics aren't strong
- It's just the simple fact that I've been living too long!
- Dead rappers got records flying off the shelf
- So I might get a deal if I kill myself
- That would pretty much guarantee more airplay
- But I don't think that I'd be able to enjoy the extra pay
- It blows me away what the dead are achieving
- Silly me thought it'd be tough to rap without breathing
- Don't ya know being dead seems to be the way to go
- Look there's another dead rapper on the radio
- [Hot Waffles]
- Livin or not I gotta give 'em their props
- They've been dead for years, but the rhymin don't stop
- They'll be back, doesn't matter what the death report is
- Throwin down and bein hard is now due to rigor mortis
- That rapper died late last fall, he's still rotting in the hall
- but now he's got gold records on the wall
- It's the +Dawn of the Dead+, and the dead can rap
- Still gettin paid while taking a dirt nap
- In the store you hear the beats cranked high
- You look the clerk in the eye and say, "Didn't that guy die?"
- But their careers go on even though they're long gone
- There's a signing next week out on Forest Lawn
- Dead rappers got records on top of the charts
- And all I got is a degree in liberal arts
- That means that before I could ever be adored
- I'd have to be full of formaldahyde and stiff as a board
- I just can't believe what the dead are achieving
- Like a rude houseguest who's just not leaving
- It's another bonus for the record label CEO
- Look - there's another dead rapper on the radio!
- "He be passed on! He has ceased to be!
- Homeboy has expired and gone to meet his maker!
- This is a late rapper! They be stiff!
- Bereft of life, O.G.s rest in peace!
- Out! Metabolical processes are of interest only to historians!
- My man has hopped the twig!
- Mofo has shuffled off this mortal coil!
- Running upside the curtain and joined the choir invisible!
- In short, this.... is an EX-RAPPER!"
- [Tom Rockwell - Sudden Death]
- Scott LaRock has been dead for like fifteen years
- So he'll probably do a video with Britney Spears
- Every year we hear the news, there goes another one
- Lined up on Death Row (Waffles: Now that's a +Big Pun+)
- Big L, Biggie Smalls, all the big rappers get death's glance
- so Buffy didn't stand a chance
- And the record labels won't leave well enough alone
- Cause you can't collect royalties on a tombstone
- I got some advice for the folks who hate Eminem
- Don't kill him, cause then you'll never get rid of him
- They'll put out best, worst, and unreleased rhymes
- Guest vocals and home videos until the end of time
- Dead rappers got records flying off the shelf
- So here's a toast to Jay-Z's health
- And to Puff Daddy, uh, P-Diddy or whatever
- Live long and prosper, hell, live forever!
- Cause once they're dead, we won't ever be free
- No R.I.P. for R.A.P.
- Don't ya know being dead seems to be the way to go
- Look - there's another dead rapper on the radio
- [Outro]
- Yo, dawg, that rapper's only mostly dead
- There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead
- Mostly dead is slightly alive
- Well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do
- (What's what, yo?)
- Go through his clothes and look for the bling bling!
