| To anyone whoever lost one
|
| Survival it may cost one
|
| Yo, what up kid it’s been a few years
|
| So many blood, sweat and tears shed
|
| Ya name still appears in my head
|
| It seems like yesterday we floated to Queens
|
| Holdin' cream, only 16, 'bout to load up the triple beam
|
| Paper chasin', gettin' thrown in the pens over and over again
|
| Comin' home sittin' low in ya bed
|
| If ya stairin' down on me right now show me the path
|
| So I know that havin' my people can close the gaps
|
| Me, daily I spar as I tour this world bizarre
|
| I’ve been hit pretty hard, suprised I made it this far
|
| Seen your daughter yesterday, she’s such a beaurtiful girl
|
| Besides today, ain’t nothin' really new in my world
|
| So I wish you was here, we had a vision and the picture was clear
|
| We’d both get rich off this and disappear
|
| Your life is over but your legacy’s just begun
|
| And that is said, only the good die young
|
| I guess it’s all good
|
| Cradle to the Grave (from the Cradle to the Grave)
|
| Don’t throw your life away
|
| Such a price to pay
|
| I still feel the pain
|
| I remember when
|
| Things were so different then
|
| But I’ll remain ya friend
|
| 'Til we meet again
|
| Is Heaven any different from Hell? |
| Is it worth the battle?
|
| In search of Heaven I can get trapped too
|
| Sometimes I wanna join you, take my place upstairs
|
| But I’m not ready to leave my family in despair
|
| I know if you was here you’d be rockin' the latest Nike Airs
|
| All the fires gear burnin' one, totin' hardwear
|
| Or we hit Lennox, check precise set of Lexus
|
| Check the message on the pager; |
| «it's two bucks the next chicks»
|
| I had to do this, for Earnie Sayon and Aaron Lewis
|
| And all my families that have been through this
|
| And I know my days are numbered too because of you
|
| Aiyo you got it locked, hold me a spot for when I come through
|
| 'Til then I gotta be strong, a time bomb
|
| One step from doin' life, my rap sees miles long
|
| But like simply when I keep holdin' on
|
| But I can only hold on for so long
|
| It’s a Cold World kid, you ain’t really missed much
|
| It’s hard just to get up, it’s hard not to give up
|
| I struggled tryna move up, I might lose touch
|
| Been fightin' all my life for my right to do such
|
| To all my single mothers strugglin'
|
| Life bitters to the thugs out hustlin', here me
|
| To all who walked the long road and met the end of the route
|
| I miss you all so I send this out |
