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 Niggas started cutting behind the bushes ducking My ears rung, I punch 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 passed 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 motherfuckin' cradle to the grave) Verse 5: Havoc Yo, it's the real drama kills, nobody move, stand still Body you, drop that ass off in a land-field Son bless me with the iron I got beef with some niggas from the other side over some weak shit Load up the heaters, greet 'em with the hollow tips Flip 'em like the Gotti clip, my crew shift the body shift The cradle to the grave is where I'll end up Fuck gettin' sent up North son, I'm bent up Doin' my dirt on a low, fuckin' with the mob 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 nigga that I'm beginning to dislike he got me fed If he doesn't discontinue his bullshit he might be dead You know him well and probably go way back But I don't care if he's your man doin' shit like that I hope the word gets back to him, cause I'll screw him He shitted 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 Killa yesterday He said to chill for a while But it's hard acting like everything is alright I get the chills when I see that nigga in my sight A dead man walking, not only that he's still talkin' (About what?)
