Surveillance on a nigga day Waitin' on my daddy just to his ass away Now Mama always workin', tryin' to make ends So now a young niggas raised by the streets
And then the other one that ever showed me love Was my dope fiend uncle out on drugs A thug, just me, my mama out here on our own So I got two gatts, one and one of chrome
Now I don't wanna hurt nobody but I must defend all the fuck I got, so stop and walk a thin line Young be brave and keep on thuggin' From the cradle to the grave, from the cradle to the
From the cradle to the Life ain't never easy, living in the ghetto
From the to the grave, I'm glad to say I made it this far, many G's hard They know that got was name here up on a wall sad thinkin' about the times
Life goes on, I'm steady lost in land As the war I got no home Don't have no friends It's just me by my lonely so I married my
I her wherever I go, I love my ho leave home with out my sugar I'm plug a nigga told me not to trust no punks
And kick his ass if he lay a on me Since then I known Sometimes I think my own self 'Cause I stay shootin' at Get twisted up in reports
Since the cradle, been ungrateful My toy was a gun I got sprung and to love weapons
But now I'm with money And with street fame peeled my cap And put me in my

I to cope loc but my family's broke And my pocket's short so now I gotta dope In a game filled with pain, a fuckin' shame The white man got a mothafucka cane
So now it's on from to dawn I get my serve on Always in the spot with my glock slingin' at the rocks The shit stop I'm steady dodgin' cops I never flip flop, hear my glock thug till I drop
And if I hit the pen I do my time Sittin' on my reminiscing about the good times It's fucked up a nigga gotta up doing dirt But from the cradle to the I'ma put in work

Time's movin' fast, will I another day? So I pray and I lay my A-K Did I my soul as a young kid? All the things I did wishin' held me But never did
I can't take it, I make it to my older age? I'm shot up or locked up in a fuckin' cage Lord, me, guide me, save me 'Cause that's the way that Daddy raised me
Do or die, nigga, pull the trigger give a fuck You'd be in jail than get your ass bucked Nobody cares, it's me against the Keepin' on my mind and my Tech-9
I got to lose, payin' dues, nigga you wanna die? I get high then my mission is a You'd better jet when I hit your set I'm commin' Start runnin', yellin', "Evil mind", as I'm
One in the chamber for the anger that I inside For the mothers that cried, for my homies died The is an ending, am I just a slave So I got to be brave from the cradle to the
