6 Feet Deep Lyrics - Singles - Geto Boys

There's far too many of you dying 

June, 28 was the date 38 

Till the chest plate mommy dear's cryin' at the wake 

And everybody's dressed up in black suits 

Goin' to pay their last respects to the black troop 

Why'd he have to die is the question that we're under 

But everyone knows that everyday's a different number 

So when your time comes, just remember G 

You'll always have a place in this world as a memory 

Especially my boys who passed away back in '92 

Best believe that all the boys in the hoods got love for you 

Wherever we go, wherever we be, we be thinkin' 

Of how we hung in the clubs smokin' and drinkin' 

Never missin' out on a hood fight 

'Cause everyday back in the hood we had a good fight 

Everything is changed and people are lookin' lonely 

It's gonna be strange spendin' New Year's eve without your homie 

But ain't much that we can do 

Except pour brew throughout the crew 

To make sure we all remember you 

And believe me it hurts 

To see the boy you broke bread with six feet in the dirt, dirt 

There's far too many of you dying 

There's far too many of you dying 

Another homie got smoked but it's no surprise 

Everybody's trippin' 'cause the boy was too young to die 

A sad sight to see my homie take his last breath 

Everybody's trippin' 'cause they can't accept my homie's death 

Another killin' was reported on the evenin' news 

Somebody's brother got killed behind a pair a shoes 

In the midst of all this shit I think about myself 

Wonderin' when somebody's gonna try to take me off the shelf 

But I refuse to be another violent casualty 

So when I'm rollin', I pack my pistol grip beside my knee 

'Cause on the city streets today a brother jus' can't win 

When the people you think are your friends 

Really ain't your friends, uh and bush wick can't sleep 

When everybody aroun' me keeps fallin' six feet deep 

There's far too many of you dying 

There's far too many of you dying 

The pain that's deep inside of everybody grows 

As they approach to see the body before the casket close 

The person standin' next to me has snapped the flip 

Once I seen the casket closed I knew that that was it 

The whole entire family spoke on his defense 

The choir sung the songs that make us reminisce 

And durin' all the singing I broke down myself 

When I looked and seen the family that my partner left 

And then the choir broke into it's final song 

Thinkin' to myself the worst is yet to come 

Everyone was headed for the final flight 

As we creeped along the gravel on the burial sight 

The director said his words and there was not a sound 

As they lower my little partner [Incomprehensible] inside the ground 

Everybody dropped their flowers on the coffin top 

And then they work alone with the concrete block and that's deep 

There's far too many of you dying 

There's far too many of you dying 

A lotta homies die, a lotta mothers cry 

I watch tears fall down from their eyes 

Everybody wants to go to Heaven 

But nobody wants to take the chance 

They chose the music so they had to dance 

Couldn't tell 'em nothin' was a player, had ta have it 

Got caught up in the game now ma boy's in the casket 

And everybody's lookin' for somebody else to blame 

Ashamed to let his mother know that he was in a gang 

We used to kick it on the Ave at night 

Comin' up tryin' to have the finer things in life 

But now my boys gone, I wish he was at home 

I wish he wouldn't a never fell victim to the clone 

So when I drink a brew for you, I pour some on the block, son 

You might be gone but you damn sure ain't forgotten 

So on remember whenever or wherever 

Dead or alive real partners come together, and you know that 

There's far too many of you dying 

There's far too many of you dying
