Surveillance on a nigga day Waitin' on my just to take his ass away Now Mama always workin', tryin' to make meet So now a young bein' raised by the streets
And the only other one that ever showed me love Was my dope fiend uncle out on drugs A straight thug, just me, my 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 It's all the fuck I got, so and walk a thin line niggas be brave and keep on thuggin' From the cradle to the grave, from the cradle to the

I tried to loc but my family's broke And my pocket's so now I gotta sling dope In a game filled with pain, it's a shame The white man got a mothafucka cane
So now it's on dusk to dawn I get my serve on Always in the spot my glock slingin' rocks at the rocks The shit don't stop I'm steady dodgin' I never flip flop, hear my glock thug till I drop
And if I hit the pen I do my time on my bunk reminiscing about the good times It's fucked up a gotta grow up doing dirt But from the cradle to the I'ma put in work

Do or die, nigga, pull the trigger don't a fuck rather be in jail than get your ass bucked Nobody cares, me against the world Keepin' murder on my and my Tech-9
I got nothin' to lose, payin' dues, you wanna die? I get then my mission is a walk-by You'd jet when I hit your set 'cause I'm commin' runnin', yellin', "Evil mind", as I'm gunnin'
One in the chamber for the anger I build inside For the that cried, for my homies that died The is an ending, am I just a slave So I got to be brave from the cradle to the
From the cradle to the ain't never been easy, living in the ghetto From the to the grave Life never been easy, living in the ghetto
