Chorus
From tha Cradle to the Grave life ain't never been easy
Living in the ghetto.
From the cradle to the grave life ain't never been easy
Living in the ghetto.
June 16 1971
Mama gave birth
to a hell raisin' heavanly son.

From out the window of my drop top
I got my glock cocked
bustin' at niggas
when will it stop ?

Can't close my eyes I see visions
And even with this thug livin'
will I escape in prison ?

Then you'd better have your nikes on
Cause when we fight
it's in the middle of the night with no lights on.
Hey!!
There must be a God cause I feel lucky,
Paranoid out my mind
this motha fucka's tryin' to rush me.
Am I goin' to jail?
Look at me bailin'
Commin' out the court house
all about mail [???].
Never die
be a hustler mothafuckas
And makin' thugs out you suckas.
From the cradle to the grave.
Chorus

Living in the ghetto.
From the cradle to the grave
since a little bitty child
I'v
