Inspectah Deck - Cradle To The Grave Lyrics
[Hook: Inspectah Deck - repeat 2X]To anyone whoever lost oneSurvival it may cost one[Inspectah Deck]Yo, what up kid it's been a few yearsSo many blood, sweat and tears shedYa name still appears in my headIt seems like yesterday we floated to QueensHoldin' cream, only 16, 'bout to load up the triple beamPaper chasin', gettin' thrown in the pens over and over againComin' home sittin' low in ya bedIf ya stairin' down on me right now show me the pathSo I know that havin' my people can close the gapsMe, daily I spar as I tour this world bizarreI've been hit pretty hard, suprised I made it this farSeen your daughter yesterday, she's such a beaurtiful girlBesides today, ain't nothin' really new in my worldSo I wish you was here, we had a vision and the picture was clearWe'd both get rich off this and disappearYour life is over but your legacy's just begunAnd that is said, only the good die youngI guess it's all good[Chorus: Mojehan (Inspectah Deck)]Cradle to the Grave (from the Cradle to the Grave)Don't throw your life awaySuch a price to payI still feel the painI remember whenThings were so different thenBut I'll remain ya friend'Til we meet again[Inspectah Deck]Is Heaven any different from Hell? Is it worth the battle?In search of Heaven I can get trapped tooSometimes I wanna join you, take my place upstairsBut I'm not ready to leave my family in despairI know if you was here you'd be rockin' the latest Nike AirsAll the fires gear burnin' one, totin' hardwearOr we hit Lennox, check precise set of LexusCheck the message on the pager; "it's two bucks the next chicks"I had to do this, for Earnie Sayon and Aaron LewisAnd all my families that have been through thisAnd I know my days are numbered too because of youAiyo you got it locked, hold me a spot for when I come through'Til then I gotta be strong, a time bombOne step from doin' life, my rap sees miles longBut like simply when I keep holdin' onBut I can only hold on for so long[Chorus][Inspectah Deck]It's a Cold World kid, you ain't really missed muchIt's hard just to get up, it's hard not to give upI struggled tryna move up, I might lose touchBeen fightin' all my life for my right to do suchTo all my single mothers strugglin'Life bitters to the thugs out hustlin', here meTo all who walked the long road and met the end of the routeI miss you all so I send this out[Hook][Chorus]
