Six Feet Deep Lyrics

respect is a word that i live by
whether chillin or illin
i give it up and you ask why?
cuz i'm a product of the old school
shootin my gift with the mic
so what is up fool?
with the drive-bys, lettin caps fly
no measure of mercy on a crowd
so a child dies...
and shit is 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
you get yours fists up,
those days are goine
cuz here come the gunshots
will it ever cease?
6 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?
6 feet deep
will it ever cease?
or just repeat...
(run a power move on em!)
so you want respect
but won't give it
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...6 feet deep

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
