[Intro] Yeah... Should've made sure I stayed dead. [Verse 1] Put me six deep, figured business was finished Shovel hit soil while they grinned at the sentence Left me for dead with a debt and a vengeance Death sent the bill, I sent back an amendment Toe tag swinging, still kicking up business Cold-blooded comeback, no breath in the system They counted me out, now I'm counting who did it Every mouth getting nervous the minute I'm mentioned Down there adapting, developing habits Came from the bottom more rabid than average Death tried to have me, I laughed at the challenge Now every step got the burial rattling Thought I went missing, I went through a transition Made that hole underneath my position They came for a funeral, got an admission Putting me under was poor ammunition [Pre-Chorus] One hand up... Then another... Something underneath just found its hunger. [Chorus] I keep rising like a zombie Kill the lights, you still can't stop me Put me down, I come back sloppy Dead-eyed walk with the whole room watching Rising like a zombie Everybody brave till the grave gets rowdy Thought you buried what you couldn't control Now the dirt starts moving when I get too close [Verse 2] Back with a limp and a chip on my shoulder Every trip to the bottom made something grow colder You toasted the ending, convinced it was over Now nobody's laughing, they're looking for closure Curtains keep twitching, you're checking the entrance Every little sound got you begging for distance You wanted me gone, should've checked your percentage One percent living is plenty for vengeance Knock, knock, motherfucker, somebody miscounted One body dropped, now the body rebounded Put me underground, I got hungry and routed A way through the dark while you bragged all about it You buried a problem expecting reduction I treated the coffin like reconstruction Every attempted removal means further production Kill me again, that's another induction [Chorus] I keep rising like a zombie Kill the lights, you still can't stop me Put me down, I come back sloppy Dead-eyed walk with the whole room watching Rising like a zombie Everybody brave till the grave gets rowdy Thought you buried what you couldn't control Now the dirt starts moving when I get too close [Breakdown] I don't stay down. That's the part you missed. You thought six feet meant finished? Nah. That was loading distance. [Final Verse] Every burial built me, resistance developed You wanted me helpless, came back more relentless Put one in the ground, now the ground gets infectious Whatever gets buried comes back interconnected One became two when you tried to erase me Two became four, now the numbers get crazy Four became more, better pray you can place me Which one's the first? Motherfucker, come chase me Death isn't stopping me, death is recruitment Every attempt at removal improves it You call it a corpse, I call it a movement One gets dropped and another starts moving Thought you had one? Now the whole lot's coming Feet underneath and the ground starts jumping Hear that below? Better quit that running Motherfucker... You didn't kill me. You started something. [Final Chorus] I KEEP RISING LIKE A ZOMBIE Kill the lights, you still can't stop me Put me down, now there's more around me Dead-eyed walk with the whole room watching RISING LIKE A ZOMBIE Everybody brave till the grave gets rowdy Thought you buried what you couldn't control Now the whole damn cemetery's coming home with me [Outro] Should've made sure.
