Six Feet Deep (Extended Version) Lyrics

In the ghetto where kids are born and raised

Always dreaming about better days

My heart breaks deeply but to no evade

When reality sets as dreams begin to fade

In the ghetto parents begin to mold

The perfect person or at least I'm told

The problems began in adolescent years

It's the first time I saw mama's tears in the ghetto

In the ghetto

Heartbreak takes place again and again

She said it ain't my son must be his friends

As time goes on you hope things would change

One things for sure they remained the same

In the ghetto

She realized it is my son too late to help

Because now he's gone

My heart breaks deeply but to now evade

Then reality sets as another brothers laid

Six feet deep

Chicago

With people doing things they're not supposed to do

Hanging on corners instead of sitting in school

Crimes taken over these city streets

And this ain't the way it's supposed to be

Six feet deep is the song in mind

If you're banging my brothers it's just a matter of time

Before they find you

Face down on the street your lifeless body on that cold concrete

Young brothers lay down as they pay the cost

Too young to die it was a tragic loss

People killing people for the colors they wear

The violence in the city it's a damn nightmare

It may slow down but it can't be stopped

If another one joins as another brother drops

And another brother drops

Six feet deep

And another brother drops

Six feet deep

As your family stands beside you all holding hands

And they visualize the future plans

Of marriage and children a family so tight

That was taken from them on that tragic night

Their holding back the tears from the heart and the soul

Watching the casket as it begins to roll

Catch the message from the tombstone and see

That this ain't the way it's supposed to be

Six feet deep is the song in mind

If you're banging my brothers it's just a matter of time

Before they find you face down on the street

Your lifeless body on that cold concrete

Young brothers lay down as they pay the cost

Too young to die it was a tragic loss

People killing people for the colors they wear

The violence in the city is a damn nightmare

It may slow down but it can't be stopped

If another one joins as another brother drops

And another brother drops

Six feet deep

And another brother drops

Six feet deep

Chicago

Chicago
