Six Feet Deep - Geto Boys[00:00:00]
Written by:Johnson Joseph/Richie Lionel/Gaye Marvin P[00:00:00]
There's far too many of you dying[00:00:00]
June twenty eight was the date thirty eight[00:00:31]
Till the chest plate mommy dear's cryin' at the wake[00:00:34]
And everybody's dressed up in black suits[00:00:38]
Goin' to pay their last respects to the black troop[00:00:41]
Why'd he have to die[00:00:44]
Is the question that we're under[00:00:46]
But everyone knows that everyday's a different number[00:00:48]
So when your time comes just remember G[00:00:51]
You'll always have a place in this world as a memory[00:00:55]
Especially my boys who passed away back in '92[00:00:58]
Best believe that all the boys in the hoods got love for you[00:01:02]
Wherever we go wherever we be we be thinkin'[00:01:06]
Of how we hung in the clubs smokin' and drinkin'[00:01:10]
Never missin' out on a hood fight[00:01:13]
'Cause ever ee day back in the hood we had a good fight[00:01:16]
Everything is changed and people are looking lonely[00:01:19]
It's gonna be strange spendin' New Year's Eve without your homie[00:01:23]
But ain't much that we can do[00:01:27]
Except pour brew throughout the crew to make sure we all remember you[00:01:30]
And believe me it hurts[00:01:35]
To see the boy you broke bread with six feet in the dirt dirt[00:01:37]
There's far too many of you dying[00:01:51]
There's far too many of you dying[00:01:58]
Another homie got smoked but it's no surprise[00:02:02]
Everybody's tripping cause the boy was to young to die[00:02:05]
A sad sight to see my homie take his last breath[00:02:08]
Everybody's tripping cause they can't accept my homeys death[00:02:12]
Another killin' was reported on the evenin' news[00:02:15]
Somebody's brother got killed behind a pair a shoes[00:02:19]
In the midst of all this sh*t I think about my self[00:02:23]
Wonderin' when somebody's gonna try to take me off the shelf[00:02:25]
But I refuse to be another violent casualty[00:02:29]
So when I'm rollin' I pack my pistol grip beside my knee[00:02:33]
Cause on the city streets today a brother jus' can't win[00:02:36]
When the people you think are your friends really ain't your friends uh[00:02:40]
And bushwick can't sleep[00:02:44]
When everybody aroun' me keeps fallin' six feet deep[00:02:47]
There's far too many of you dying[00:02:54]
There's far too many of you dying[00:03:01]
The pain that's deep inside of everybody grows[00:03:04]
As they approach to see the body before the casket close[00:03:08]
The person standin' nex' to me has snapped the flip[00:03:11]
Once I seen the casket closed I knew that that was it[00:03:15]
The whole entire family spoke on his defence[00:03:18]
The choir sung the songs that make us reminisce[00:03:22]
And durin' all the singing I broke down myself[00:03:26]
When I looked and seen the family that my partner lef'[00:03:29]
And then the choir broke into its final song[00:03:32]
Thinkin' to myself the worst is yet to come[00:03:36]
Everyone was headed for the final flight[00:03:39]
As we creeped along the gravel on the burial sight[00:03:42]
The director said his words and there was not a sound[00:03:46]
As they lower my little partner inside the ground[00:03:50]
Everybody dropped their flowers on the coffing top[00:03:53]
And then they work alone with the concrete block and that's deep[00:03:57]
There's far too many of you dying[00:04:04]
There's far too many of you dying[00:04:11]
Alotta homies die[00:04:14]
Alotta mothers cry[00:04:16]
I watch tears fall down from their eyes[00:04:18]
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to take the chance[00:04:21]
They chose the music so they had to dance[00:04:26]
Couldn't tell&apos ;I'm nothing[00:04:28]
Was a player had ta have it[00:04:30]
Got caught up in the game now ma boy's in the casket[00:04:32]
And everybody's lookin' for somebody else to blame[00:04:35]
Ashamed to let his mother know that he was in a gang[00:04:39]
We used to kick it on the ave at night[00:04:42]
Comin' up tryin' to have the finer things in life[00:04:45]
But now my boys gone I wish he was at home[00:04:49]
I wish he wouldn't a never fell victim to the clone[00:04:52]
So when I drink a brew for you I pour some on the block son[00:04:56]
You might be gone but you damn sure ain't forgotten[00:05:00]
So on remember whenever or wherever[00:05:03]
Dead or alive real partners come together and you know that[00:05:06]
There's far too many of you dying[00:05:13]
There's far too many of you dying[00:05:20]
