Geto Boys - 6 Feet Deep Lyrics
[theres far too many of you dying]Verse one: scarfaceJune twenty-eight was the date thirty-eightTill the chest plate mommy dears cryin at the wakeAnd everybodys dressed up in black suitsGoin to pay their last respects to the black troopWhyd he have to dieIs the question that were underBut everyone knows that everydays a different numberSo when your time comes, just remember gYoull always have a place in this world as a memoryEspecially my boys who passed away back in 92Best believe that all the boys in the hoods got love for youWherever we go, wherever we be, we be thinkinOf how we hung in the clubs smokin and drinkinNever missin out on a hood fightcause ever-ee-day back in the hood we had a good fightEverything is changed and people-r-lookin lonelyIts gonna be strange spendin new years eve without your homieBut aint much that we can doExcept pour brew throughout the crew to make sure we all remember youAnd believe me it hurtsTo see the boy you broke bread with six feet in the dirt... dirt[theres far too many of you dying][theres far too many of you dying]Verse two: bushwick billAnother homie got smoked but its no surpriseEverybodys trippin cause the boy was to young to dieA sad sight to see my homie take his last breathEverybodys trippin cause they cant accept my homeys deathAnother killin was reported on the evenin newsSomebodys brother got killed behind a pair a shoesIn the midst of all this shit I think about my selfWonderin when somebodys gonna try to take me off the shelfBut I refuse to be another violent casualtySo when Im rollin I pack my pistol grip beside my kneeCause on the city streets today a brother jus cant winWhen the people you think are your friends really aint your friends uhAnd bushwick cant sleepWhen everybody aroun me keeps fallin six feet deep[theres far too many of you dying][theres far too many of you dying]Verse three: scarfaceThe pain thats deep inside of everybody growsAs they approach to see the body before the casket closeThe person standin nex to me has snapped the flipOnce I seen the casket closed I knew that that was itThe whole entire family spoke on his defenceThe choir sung the songs that make us reminisceAnd durin all the singing I broke down myselfWhen I looked and seen the family that my partner lefAnd then the choir broke into its final songThinkin to myself the worst is yet to comeEveryone was headed for the final flightAs we creeped along the gravel on the burial sightThe director said his words and there was not a soundAs they lower my little partner inside the groundEverybody dropped their flowers on the coffin topAnd then they work alone with the concrete block and thats deep[theres far too many of you dying][theres far too many of you dying]Verse four: big mikeAlotta homies dieAlotta mothers cryI watch tears fall down from their eyesEverybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to take the chanceThey chose the music so they had to danceCouldnt tell im nothinWas a player, had ta have itGot caught up in the game now ma boys in the casketAnd everybodys lookin for somebody else to blameAshamed to let his mother know that he was in a gangWe used to kick it on the ave at nightComin up tryin to have the finer things in lifeBut now my boys gone, I wish he was at homeI wish he wouldnt a never fell victim to the cloneSo when I drink a brew for you I pour some on the block sonYou might be gone but you damn sure aint forgottenSo on remember whenever or whereverDead or alive real partners come together, and you know that[theres far too many of you dying][theres far too many of you dying]
