[Verse One] From the cradle until now, still Fox, just a little more mature Seen it with my bare eyes, did it all before, been through hell on earth Playing out my role I was given since birth, recepting it well Go hard at them critics, they expect me to fail, work hard for my fans They expect me to sell, they suspect I'm living well But they don't know the pain I feel, five minutes away from getting k**ed It's ill, my moms' always hug me when I'm leaving I wake up crying because d**h bugs me when I'm sleeping Jam Master died, it's like I ain't done grieving Big and Pac gone, and look, we still beefing And son, even, we at odds in these days Where n******gs' die over cars and their chains I thank God that I'm saved and I'm a hold it down in this game Now, from the cradle to the grave [Hook] From the cradle to the grave, I wish I knew my life Would end up being this way, from the cradle to the grave I wish I knew my life would end up being this way [Verse Two] From the cradle until now, I been through it all, y'all Y'all don't know half the things, I been through it, dog Pain and suffering, I been through it all, my heart's still cold I been through the storm, confused all these years sh**, we grew all these years, I remember me and you on the stairs Talking about what we're going to do when we're big Money came into play and best friends went they way, sh** I wish it never had to go that way The price of fame can cost a whole friendship Yeah we got dollars, but it's senseless So I pray to God for forgiveness, and ask him to carry me through All the stress, and the drama in this business, I bare witness I Fox, and keep going strong until my heart stop And keep flowing strong with a -, come on [Hook] From the cradle to the grave, I wish I knew my life Would end up being this way, from the cradle to the grave I wish I knew my life would end up being this way [Bridge] As a little girl, I wish I knew that I would be going through the drama That's in my life, all the suffering, everywhere I've been How I get myself in all this bullsh** I'm in [Verse Three] From now until the grave, I look back at my life, smile, and say 'wow' In amazement, all these roadblocks, wonder how did I make it Wonder how I became famous, I'm impressed with me It's like rumours been obsessed with me, but the truth's never told It was left with me, and what's left for me is to extend my hand If they don't reach then I'll let them be, I've got to live my life right But I wouldn't change how I lived my like If I could live my life twice, y'all don't understand what Inga's life's like A black stressed, I turned my back to the world, and now I'm back to the world This black girl's blessed, yeah, my fans helped me through it I was destined to blaze from the cradle to the grave Thank God my family helped me through it [Hook] From the cradle to the grave, I wish I knew my life Would end up being this way, from the cradle to the grave I wish I knew my life would end up being this way
