I tried to cope loc but my family's And my short so now I gotta sling dope In a game filled with pain, it's a fuckin' The white man got a mothafucka cane
So now it's on from dusk to I get my serve on Always in the with my glock slingin' rocks at the rocks The shit don't stop I'm steady dodgin' I flip flop, hear my glock cock thug till I drop
And if I hit the pen I do my time Sittin' on my bunk reminiscing about the times It's fucked up a nigga gotta up doing dirt But from the to the grave I'ma put in work

One in the chamber for the anger 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
the cradle to the grave Life never been easy, living in the ghetto From the to the grave ain't never been easy, living in the ghetto
