One in the for the anger that I build inside For the mothers that cried, for my that died The beginning is an ending, am I a slave So I got to be from the cradle to the grave
From the to the grave Life ain't never easy, living in the ghetto From the to the grave Life ain't been easy, living in the ghetto
