[Hook] From the cradle to the grave Life ain't never been easy, livin in the ghetto From the cradle to the grave Life ain't never been easy..
[2Pac] June 16th, 1971 Mama gave birth to a hell-raisin heavenly son See the doctor tried to smack me but I smacked him back My first words was "Thug for life," and "Papa pass the Mac." I'm bustin on these motherfuckers ballin Listen you can hear my mini fourteen callin {*POP POP POP*} From out the window of my drop top, I got my Glock cocked Bustin at niggas, when will it stop? Now tell me are you scared of the dark? Can't close my eyes I see visions And even with this thug livin, will I escape prison? Penitentiary chances was an all day thang The only way to advance; and if you slang Then you'd better have yo' Nikes on - cause when we fight It's in the middle of the night with no lights on, hey!! There must be a God cause I feel lucky Paranoid out my mind, cause motherfuckers tryin to rush me Am I goin to jail? Look at me bailin Comin out the court house, all about my mail and bank Never, never die I'll be a hustler motherfuckers And makin thugs out you suckers from the cradle to the grave [Hook] From the cradle to the grave Life ain't never been easy, livin in the ghetto
[Mopreme] From the cradle to the grave since a little bitty child I've been known to get ill and kinda buck wild Pop pop! Just like the part that's in my walk with street talk I'm runnin up the block in the dark where lead spark Surveillance on a nigga every day Waitin on my daddy just to take his ass away Now Mama always workin tryin to make ends meet So now a young nigga's bein raised by the streets And then the only other one that ever showed me love Was my dope fiend uncle strung out on drugs A straight - thug; just me, my mama out here on our own So I got two gats - one black and one of chrome Now I don't wanna hurt nobody but I must defend mine! It's all the fuck I got, so stop and walk a thin line Young niggas be brave And keep on thuggin from the cradle to the grave From the cradle to the grave

[The Rated R] From the cradle to the grave I'm glad to say, I made it this far Many G's died hogs and all they got was they name hit up on a wall It's sad thinkin' about the times Life goes on, I'm steady lost in this land That's the war zone, I gots no home, don't have no friends neither It's just me by my lonely so I married my nina I keeps her wherever I go, I love my ho Never leave home with out my sugar, I'm hafta plug a nigga Mama told me not to trust no punks And kick his ass if he lay a hand on me since then I been knowin Sometimes I think my own self stupid Cause I stay shootin at marks, get twisted up in police reports Since the cradle, I've been ungrateful My first toy was a gun I got sprung and learedn to love weapons But now I'm through with money, and through with street fame Somebody peeled my cap, and put me in my grave

[Big Syke] Time's movin fast, will I last another day? So I pray and I lay with my A-K Did I sell my soul as a young kid? All the things I did wishin someone held me but they never did I can't take it, will I make it to my older age? Before I'm shot up or locked up in a fuckin cage Lord help me, guide me, save me! Cause that's the way that Daddy raised me, crazy Do or die, nigga pull the trigger don't give a fuck You'd rather be in jail than get yo' ass bucked Nobody cares, it's me against the world Keepin murder on my mind and my tec-9 I got nothin to lose, payin dues, nigga you wanna die? I get high and then my mission is a walk-by You'd better jet when I hit your set cause I'm comin Start runnin yellin "evil mind" as I'm gunnin One in the chamber for the anger that I build inside For the mothers that cried, for my homies that died The beginning is an ending, am I just a slave? So I got to be brave from the cradle to the grave
