Prodigy (Mobb Deep) - Cradle to the Grave lyrics

[Verse 1: Prodigy] Forever wild from the cradle to the grave, kid watch your back One time's comin' always (Yeah), they lock me up for 12 days I can't comprehend, now I'm a free man on the streets again Chasin St.Ide's down with some Seagrams Gin Life is like a dice game and I'm in to win [Verse 2: Havoc] On the scene from the 41st side of Queens We get the cream, laid up, love-love for dame Cause I mean what I mean, I'm out to claim king Doin' my thing, throughout states name'll ring [Verse 3: Prodigy] To all my peoples locked down comin' back to life In the world once again though ya' bid was trife While you was gone, we was goin' to war And even more, saw my man layin' dead on the floor Kid I swore that our crew will live forever, I guess I was wrong No, until we meet again hold ya' head and stay strong (Yeah) Yo, got my mind on a place to hide from police (Where?) Sweatin' dogs as I'm runnin' cross 12th Street Just as I approached the block, I spotted jake on the creep down by Vick's weed spot (So what?) Made a U-ey up the hill plus a change of plans I had to hurry back so I could warn my man [Verse 4: Havoc] It had me stressin' little somethin' Had my heart rapidly pumping n***as started cutting behind the bushes ducking My ears rung, I plunged a clip into the guns Got grazed in the arm, one slug hit my son He was bleedin' from the head, I couldn't believe it We was defeated, if it was a case I couldn't beat it Felt like cryin', (The temperature's risin') I saw my man helpless, damn near on the verge of dyin' So to P I pa**ed the iron [Verse 5: Prodigy] Kid you ain't lyin', I went to stash the murder weapon Plus I'm relyin' on a door to be open Goin' in the building, it's a trap Police buckin' at me, they try to twist my dome back Jetted up the staircase to the third floor Reached behind the sink, throw the heater on the floor Locked the door, police grabbed me up and tried to break my jaw Said, "where's the gun we saw? (I don't know) We know you was there at the homicide scene(I don't know nothin') And if it wasn't you, it was somebody from ya' team" [Hook] From the cradle to the grave (From the cradle to the grave) x4 (Straight from the motherf**in' cradle to the grave) [Verse 5: Havoc] Yo, it's the real drama k**s Nobody move, stand still Body you, drop that a** off in a land-field Son bless me with the iron I got beef with some n***as from the other side over some weak sh** Load up the heaters, greet 'em with the hollow tips Flip 'em like the Gotti clip, my crew shift the body sh** The cradle to the grave is where I'll end up f** gettin' sent up North son, I'm bent up Doin' my dirt on a low, f**in' with the Mobb is like a trial No doubt you gonna' blow You never know He didn't even have to go There unprepared now he's six below Y'know I'm chillin', I gots no time for catchin' feelings Get that money I wants, some brothers wanna' act funny But it's all good, I still die for the hood For my peoples, yeah knock on wood [Verse 6: Prodigy] Triple L, rollin' dice while I put you on To the drama what I gotta' say is short not long This n***a that I'm beginning to dislike he got me fed If he doesn't discontinue his bullsh** he might be dead You know him well and probably go way back But I don't care if he's your man doin' sh** like that I hope the word gets back to him, cause I'll screw him He sh**ted on my man and we got plans to do him Lets get it over with quick, I'm tired of waiting Ain't no fair overhead deal, we just debatin' on when and how Later on right now Spoke to k**a yesterday He said to chill for a while But it's hard acting like everything is alright Get the chills when I see that n***a in my sigh A dead man walking, not only that he's still talkin' About how and what he did very often You don't know how much I fiend to put his a** in a coffin One day my man and the next he's not Didn't know him long anyway, so f** it It's funny how things change (Word up!) [Hook] [Outro: Prodigy] Word up man! Y'knowhatumsayin,we gonna die! It's for real,kid,no games bein played
