Lyrics
Cradle to the Stage
(Produced by Hyaline)
(Chorus)
Step back, i'm on the road to fame
cuz imma live my life from cradle to the stage
Step back, y'all gon know my name
cuz imma live my life from the cradle to the stage
Step back, i'm on the road to fame
cuz imma live my life from cradle to the stage
Step back, y'all gon know my name
cuz i was born to live my life from the cradle to the stage
It'll be a cold day in hell before I turns to we
our mine turns to ours, i aint fuckin with you cowards
when i say word to god i aint callin JESUS' father
or the holy lord and savior, i call them CHRIST and Creator
i'm hollin to my boy out the window sill, see him sellin indo still
it pays the bill, i guess we say anymans way is his will
cuz when we play its still real
we sacrafice pay to have leisure, follow leaders
become leaders, because leaders, some dont wanna lead us
in the right direction my reflection gives a lesson
i'm stressin what i'm speakin, my brain is leakin
and every thought i'm leavin, seepin from my mind in equal amounts
without a prejudice, never produce ettiquette
rawest form, word is bond, it comes in floods like thunderstorms
my thumbs are worn and torn from writtin page after page
i engage the world to hear my word from cradle to the stage
(Chorus)
Chapter 1 verse 2 says i don't envy you
but you still envy me, you got the g's but i can see
inside your mind you still design a plan to take me down
even though my head don't hold a crown, imma be reknown
for writte lyric, wicked with it, midwest kickin it
i'm still so sick with it, don't give a damn, my liquid spit
is hittin so solid, so stop it, no sobbin quit
cryin to me, lyin to me, stop and lock your lips
i can picture it, i'm shinin, my eyes 2 diamonds
push forward like a lineman does, i'm ridin bus after bus
to get my destination, no hesitation
grow impatient waitin long times in long lines
my mind by design was devised to write a rhyme
from the time that i was 9 and i worte my first line
i could feel it in my veins even before i knew my name
I set the stage for life, set my plight and got into my lane, so
(Chorus)
And when the sun don't shine, and the moon don't glow
and everybody mopes around and hangs their head down low
and they commit the sin of sloth, thats when i get my spin across
sick with their menopause and cramps than thats their loss
never said that imma boss, you mighta noticed it aint true
i do what i do, you sleep then i creep through
but that dont mean that imma hide and be afraid of punks
i don't wanna lose my life but that don't mean that wont
i fought too hard and lost too much, it cost too much to live by luck
i live my life by hustle, came to symbolize the struggle
still i live by legal means despite the things that i done scene
despite the things that i hath done, but i am one that you learn from
i do earn some the prejudice, but i exist just to conflict
with my own self and my own health, still i remain distinct
from sperm into an egg untill the day they dig my grave
i was born to live my life from the cradle to the stage
(Chorus)
