Inspectah Deck - Cradle to the Grave lyrics

[Hook: Inspectah Deck - repeat 2X] To anyone whoever lost one Survival it may cost one [Inspectah Deck] 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 [Hook: Mojehan (Inspectah Deck)] 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 [Inspectah Deck] 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 [Hook] [Inspectah Deck] 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 [Hook] [Hook]
