lyrics

SIX FEET DEEP

Respect is a word that I live by
Whether chillin' or illin'
I give it up and you ask why
Cause I'm a product of the old school
Shootin' my gift with the mic
So what's up fool
With the drive-bys
Lettin' caps fly
No measure of mercy
On a crowd
So a child dies
And shit's got scandalous
Blood stains the streets
And the halls
Of Los Angeles
Shooting people
At the age of 10
Another life to be lived
In the pen
Mono y mono
One on one
Yo, get your fists up
Those days are gone
Cause here come the gunshots
Will it ever cease
Six feet deep

So I stride with pride
As I glide with an open eye
Always watchin' my back
Because the streets lie
As I try to find answers
To all of my questions
Gunshots are keeping us guessin'
Will it ever cease
Six feet deep
Will it ever cease
Or just repeat...

Respect is a word that I live by
Whether chillin' or illin'
I give it up and you ask why
I'm a product of the old school
Shootin' my gift with the mic
So what's up fool
With the drive-bys
Lettin' caps fly
No measure of mercy
On a crowd
So a child dies
And shit's got scandalous
Blood stains the streets
And the halls
Of Los Angeles
Shooting people
At the age of 10
Another life to be lived
In the pen
Mono y mono
One on one
Yo, get your fists up
Those days are gone
Here come the gunshots
Six feet deep

Yo, run a power move on their ass

So you want respect
But won't give it
You better earn it
Learn it, live it
These are the rules that I go by
Can't pretend a life didn't end so I
Preach and teach
The weak that sleep a new technique
So they won't end up
Six feet deep
And all rest in peace
