Six Feet Deep
[00:31.26] June twenty-eight was the date
[00:33.83] Thirty-eight to the chest plate
[00:36.08] Mommy dear's cryin at the wake
[00:38.60] And everybody's dressed up in black suits
[00:41.37] Goin to pay their last respects to the black troop
[00:44.64] Why'd he have to die is the question that we're under
[00:47.95] But everyone knows that every day's a different number
[00:51.46] So when your time comes, just remember, G
[00:54.98] You'll always have a place in this world as a memory
[00:58.52] Especially my boys who passed away back in '92
[01:02.05] Best believe that all the boys in the hoods got love for you
[01:06.86] Wherever we go, wherever we be, we be thinkin
[01:10.37] Of how we hung in the clubs smokin and drinkin
[01:13.64] Never missin out on a hood fight
[01:16.16] Cause everyday back in the hood we had a good fight
[01:19.45] Everything has changed and people are lookin lonely
[01:22.97] It's gon' be strange spendin New Year's Eve without your homie
[01:27.50] But ain't much that we can do
[01:30.02] Except pour brew throughout the crew
[01:32.31] To make sure we all remember you
[01:34.57] And believe me it hurts
[01:36.85] To see the boy you broke bread with six feet in the dirt... dirt
[02:01.54] Another homie got smoked but it's no surprise
[02:04.82] Everybody's trippin cause the boy was too young to die
[02:08.84] A sad sight to see my homie take his last breath
[02:11.85] Everybody's trippin cause they can't accept my homie's death
[02:15.62] Another killin was reported on the evenin news
[02:18.92] Somebody's brother got killed behind a pair a shoes
[02:22.70] In the midst of all this shit I think about myself
[02:25.74] Wonderin when somebody's gonna try to take me off the shelf
[02:29.51] But I refuse to be another violent casualty
[02:33.05] So when I'm rollin I pack my pistol grip beside my knee
[02:36.57] Cause on the city streets today a brother just can't win
[02:40.10] When the people you think are your friends really ain't your friends
[02:43.62] Uh, and Bushwick can't sleep
[02:47.15] When everybody around me keeps fallin six feet deep
[03:04.60] The pain that's deep inside of everybody grows
[03:08.16] As they approach to see the body before the casket close
[03:11.45] The person standin next to me has snapped a flick
[03:14.72] Once I seen the casket closed I knew that that was it
[03:18.53] The whole entire family spoke on his defense
[03:21.55] The choir sung the songs that make us reminisce
[03:25.09] And durin all the singin I broke down myself
[03:28.62] When I looked and seen the family that my partner left
[03:32.44] And then the choir broke into its final song
[03:35.72] Thinkin to myself the worst is yet to come
[03:39.00] Everyone was headed for the final flight
[03:43.02] As we creeped along the gravel on the burial site
[03:46.57] The director said his words and there was not a sound
[03:49.59] As they lowered my little partner towards inside the ground
[03:53.62] Everybody dropped their flowers on the coffin top
[03:56.68] And then they work alone with the concrete block
[04:00.22] And that's deep
[04:14.10] A lotta homies die, a lotta mothers cry
[04:18.13] I watch tears fall down from their eyes
[04:21.65] Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to take the chance
[04:26.46] They chose the music, so they had to dance
[04:28.47] Couldn't tell him nothin, was a player, had to have it
[04:31.76] Got caught up in the game now my boy's in the casket
[04:35.29] And everybody's lookin' for somebody else to blame
[04:38.56] Ashamed to let his mother know that he was in the game
[04:42.36] We used to kick it on the ave at night
[04:45.63] Comin up tryin to have the finer things in life
[04:49.16] But now my boy's gone, I wish he was at home
[04:52.70] I wish he wouldn'ta never fell victim to the chrome
[04:56.49] So when I drink a brew for you I pour some on the block, son
[04:59.79] You might be gone but you damn sure ain't forgotten
[05:03.33] So long, remember whenever or wherever
[05:06.61] Dead or alive, real partners come together
[05:09.68] And you know that
