[C-Murder]

How many of my TRU niggas actually get a second chance at life,

at their dreams? not many, huh

Started off as a street thug, just hangin' and thuggin'

'89 went to jail for druggin' and muggin'

poppa please ain't no fuckin' way for me

probation for 10 years don't mean you're free

I know my TRU motherfuckin' niggas know how I feel

this shit's real I wish my brother wouldn't of got killed

for me to realize the game is wicked

shit can't even trust the niggas that I used to hang with

huh, but I remember what my brother told me

I know a real bitch by the way she hold me

I love my TRU niggas like I love money

if you fuck with no limit you never find nothin' funny

and I take it to the grave with me

if you shoot first bitch you better make sure you hit me

cuz I'm known for choppin' keys on my mom's table

I split a hundred G's with my niggas Kane and Abel

fast money fast bitches is what I live for

until I caught a fuckin' bullet in the back, bra

they thought I was dead but I'm still in it

I'm back to life back on top ain't no limit

(Chorus)

Back to life (from the cradle to the grave)

Back to reality (some younsters on the streets tryin' get paid)

from the cradle to the grave

there's some youngsters on the streets tryin' get paid

Back to life (from the cradle to the grave)

Back to reality (some younsters on the streets tryin' get paid)
