June 16, 1971
7
Mama gave birth
8
to a hell raisin' heavanly son.
9
See the doctor tried to smack me
10
but I smacked him back,
11
My first words were "thug for life"
12
and "Papa pass the Mac."
13
I'm bustin' on these motha fuckas ballin'
14
Listen you can hear my mini 14 callin'.
15
From out the window of my drop top
16
I got my glock cocked
17
bustin' at niggas
18
when will it stop ?
19
Now tell me are you scared of the dark?
20
Can't close my eyes I see visions
21
And even with this thug livin'
22
will I escape in prison ?
23
Penitentiary chances was an all day thang
24
The only way to advance
25
and if you slang
26
Then you'd better have your nikes on
27
Cause when we fight
28
it's in the middle of the night with no lights on.
29
Hey!!
30
There must be a God cause I feel lucky,
31
Paranoid out my mind
32
this motha fucka's tryin' to rush me.
33
Am I goin' to jail?
34
Look at me bailin'
35
Commin' out the court house
36
all about mail [???].
37
Never die
38
be a hustler mothafuckas
39
And makin' thugs out you suckas.
40
From the cradle to the grave.
41

From the cradle to the grave, life ain't never been easy
43
Living in the ghetto. easy
44
From the cardle to the grave, life ain't never been easy
45
Living in the ghetto.
46
From the cradle to the grave
47
since a little bitty child
48
I've been known to get ill and kinda buck wild.
49
Pop pop!
50
just like the part that's in my walk with street talk
51
I'm runnin' up the block in the dark with less spark.
52
Survalience on a nigga every day,
53
Waitin' on my daddy just to take his ass away.
54
Now Mama always workin' tryin' to make ends meet.
55
So now a young niggas bein' raised by the streets.
56
And then the on other one that ever showed me love
57
Was my dope fiend uncle strung out on drugs
58
a striaght thug.
59
Just me, my mama out here on our own
60
So I got two gatts
61
one black and one of chrome.
62
Now I don't wanna hurt nobody but I must defend mine!
63
It's all the fuck I got
64
so stop and walk a thin line.
65
Young niggas be brave
66
and keep on thuggin' from the cradle to the grave,
67
From the cradle to the grave.
68
Chorus
69
From the cradle to the grave, life ain't never been easy
70
Living in the ghetto.
71
From the cradle to the grave, I'm glad to say
72
I made it this far.
73
Many G's died hard
74
and all they got was their name here up on a wall.
75
It's sad thinkin' about the times
76
Life goes on, I'm steady lost in this land...
77
as the warzone I got no home
78
don't have no friends neither.
79
It's just me by my lonely so I married my nina.
80
I keeps her wherever I go,
81
I love my ho.
82
Never leave home with out my sugar.
83
I'm hafta plug a nigga.
84
Mama told me not to trust no punks,
85
And kick his ass if he lay a hand on me.
86
Since then I been known.
87
Sometimes I think my own self stupid
88
Cause I stay shootin' at marks,
89
Get twisted up in police reports.
90
Since the cradle, I've been ungreatful.
91
My first toy was a gun
92
I got sprung and learn to love weapons.
93
But now I'm through with money
94
and through with street fame.
95
Somebody peeled my cap and put me in my grave.
96
Chorus
97
From the cradle to the grave, life ain't never been easy
98
Living in the ghetto.
99
From the cradle to the grave, life ain't never been easy
100
Living in the ghetto.
101
March 18th
102
a rainy day my mama gave birth
103
To a baby boy trapped in hell on Earth.
104
From day one it wasn't fun I never had a crumb.
105
Daddy worked two jobs and Mama won't stop drinkin' rum.
106
I tried to cope loc
107
but my family's broke
108
And my pocket's short
109
so now I gotta sling dope.
110
In a game filled with pain it's a fuckin' shame,
111
The white man got a motha fucka slingin' cane.
112
So now it's on from dusk to dawn I get my serve on.
113
Always in the spot with my glock slingin' rocks at the rocks.
114
Shit don't stop I'm steady dodgin' cops.
115
I never flip flop
116
hear my glock cock
117
thug till I drop.
118
And if I hit the pen I gotta do my time
119
Sittin' on my bunk reminiscing about the good times.
120
It's fucked up a nigga gotta grow up doing dirt,
121
But from the cradle to the grave I'ma put in work.
122
Chorus
123
From the cradle to the grave, life ain't never been easy
124
Living in the ghetto.
125
From the cradle to the grave, life ain't never been easyy
126
Living in the ghetto.
127
Time's movin' fast
128
will I last another day?
129
So I pray and I lay with my A-K.
130
Did I sell my soul as a young kid?
131
All the things I did
132
Wishin' someone held me
133
but they never did.
134
I can't take it
135
will I make it to my older age?
136
Before I'm shot up or locked up in a fuckin' cage.
137
Lord help me, guide me, save me!
138
Cause that's the way that Daddy raised me
139
crazy.
140
Do or die. Nigga pull the trigger don't give a fuck.
141
You'd rather be in jail than get your ass bucked.
142
Nobody cares, it's me against the world.
143
Keepin' murder on my mind and my tech-9.
144
I got nothin' to lose, payin' dues, nigga you wanna die?
145
I get high
146
then my mission is a walk-by.
147
You'd better jet when I hit your set cause I'm commin'.
148
Start runnin' yellin' "evil mind" as I'm gunnin'.
149
One in the chamber for the anger that I build inside,
150
For the mothers that cried, for my homies that died.
151
The begining is an ending, am I just a slave?
152
So I got to be brave from the cradle to the grave.
