[Hook: Inspectah Deck - repeat 2X]<br>To anyone whoever lost one<br>Survival it may cost one<br><br>[Inspectah Deck]<br>Yo, what up kid it`s been a few years<br>So many blood, sweat and tears shed<br>Ya name still appears in my head<br>It seems like yesterday we floated to Queens<br>Holdin` cream, only 16, `bout to load up the triple beam<br>Paper chasin`, gettin` thrown in the pens over and over again<br>Comin` home sittin` low in ya bed<br>If ya stairin` down on me right now show me the path<br>So I know that havin` my people can close the gaps<br>Me, daily I spar as I tour this world bizarre<br>I`ve been hit pretty hard, suprised I made it this far<br>Seen your daughter yesterday, she`s such a beaurtiful girl<br>Besides today, ain`t nothin` really new in my world<br>So I wish you was here, we had a vision and the picture was clear<br>We`d both get rich off this and disappear<br>Your life is over but your legacy`s just begun<br>And that is said, only the good die young<br>I guess it`s all good<br><br>[Chorus: Mojehan (Inspectah Deck)]<br>Cradle to the Grave (from the Cradle to the Grave)<br>Don`t throw your life away<br>Such a price to pay<br>I still feel the pain<br>I remember when<br>Things were so different then<br>But I`ll remain ya friend<br>`Til we meet again<br><br>[Inspectah Deck]<br>Is Heaven any different from Hell? Is it worth the battle?<br>In search of Heaven I can get trapped too<br>Sometimes I wanna join you, take my place upstairs<br>But I`m not ready to leave my family in despair<br>I know if you was here you`d be rockin` the latest Nike Airs<br>All the fires gear burnin` one, totin` hardwear<br>Or we hit Lennox, check precise set of Lexus<br>Check the message on the pager; "it`s two bucks the next chicks"<br>I had to do this, for Earnie Sayon and Aaron Lewis<br>And all my families that have been through this<br>And I know my days are numbered too because of you<br>Aiyo you got it locked, hold me a spot for when I come through<br>`Til then I gotta be strong, a time bomb<br>One step from doin` life, my rap sees miles long<br>But like simply when I keep holdin` on<br>But I can only hold on for so long<br><br>[Chorus]<br><br>[Inspectah Deck]<br>It`s a Cold World kid, you ain`t really missed much<br>It`s hard just to get up, it`s hard not to give up<br>I struggled tryna move up, I might lose touch<br>Been fightin` all my life for my right to do such<br>To all my single mothers strugglin`<br>Life bitters to the thugs out hustlin`, here me<br>To all who walked the long road and met the end of the route<br>I miss you all so I send this out<br><br>[Hook]<br><br>[Chorus]
