Crack The Tomb

Song Meaning

Hulvey turns the empty tomb into a victory lap on "Crack The Tomb," a track that opens with him glancing at the sky and then refusing to let go of what he's been given. The chorus is pure release — hands open, nothing lost, everybody jumping — while the verses get specific about the trade he's made: shackles swapped for a necklace, the Bible placed where the plaques would go, a man's integrity valued above rap stardom. He name-drops East St. Louis and a salvation at "twelve somethin'," grounding the resurrection talk in a particular street and a particular kid. The sharpest image comes when he pictures the rolled-away rock and hears God whisper that he looks different in the mirror. There's a playful confidence here too — the guestlist line, the stunner delivered to the devil, the joke about who gets the last laugh — but it never drifts into empty bragging. The song ends by pointing listeners toward the Book of Life, treating the whole thing as an invitation rather than a performance.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Look up in the sky, think I saw somethin' (Saw somethin')
I came from the Wick, boy, I'm raw, cousin (Raw, uh)
Opened up my hands, never lost nothin' (No sir)
The way this thing feel, got 'em all jumpin'

It got 'em all jumpin'
It got 'em all jumpin'
It got 'em all jumpin'
It got 'em all

This ain't doomsday, this that crack-the-tomb day
This my redemption for every day I threw away
I'd rather be a man than a rap star
I'd rather put the Bible where the plaques are
Traded in my shackles for a necklace (Necklace)
Head on a swivel like I'm neckless
Yeah, I'm unashamed and I'm reckless (And I'm reckless)
Sir, I.D. please? Boy, I'm on the guestlist
Before I was a leader, I was serving
I put it on the line, it was worth it
I hope they feel the Spirit in these verses
This one for the people who been searchin'

Look up in the sky, think I saw somethin' (Saw somethin')
I came from the Wick, boy, I'm raw, cousin (Raw, uh)
Opened up my hands, never lost nothin' (No sir)
The way this thing feel, got 'em all jumpin'

It got 'em all jumpin'
It got 'em all jumpin'
It got 'em all jumpin'
It got 'em all

Put my feelings on the track like a second-place runner
Christ hit the devil with a stone-cold stunner
Heard He rolled that rock away and it look empty to me
Looked in the mirror, God whispered, "He look different to me"
Okay, okay, pulled over by the light like twelve comin'
I was dark, I got saved at like twelve somethin' (Eastside)
I was waking up to bangin' in the chrome (Chrome)
Flyin', talkin' too much with my hands, I was so blind
Hahaha, we gon' see who get the last laugh (Mm-hm)
Forever rich, this ain't set up from no Cash App (Mm-hm)
East St. Louis, baby, know that God for the get back (Eastside)
Jesus was born in the hood, don't forget that, you heard me? (Eastside, eastside, eastside)

This just got to be your first night at the Milk & Honey
You crazy, you better check that Book of Life
Boy on great money
The Big God expectin' me

It got 'em all jumpin'
