วีดีโอ

I love this!!🤩😍

Heroes and Legnds of Sound Hear how we taking em down, Aint no one like em around, Love that we picking up now, Only the real will prevail, Shouldnt have played wit the sound, Watch as they sun coming down, Watch cause our moon has arrived, Train for the day, Work through the night,

This beat has so much more potential. So dumbed down for early 2000s rap.

The german rapper Sido used this song in his record called "Hamdullah"

ONE OF THE HARDEST TRACKS EVER, SO SIMPLE YET SO POWERFUL.

"dear adonis..."

how many bpm

My mama aint raise no fool, because my mama ain't raised me fool.

So you want to be a gangster, all that shit Smoke any motherfucker, don't even trip You be hard as hell, take whatever you want Punk suckers want to front, they get done Cause you a gangster, nothin' more nothin' less Put my boy to the test and catch one in your chest Since he was young, homeboy won't back down Cause real gangsters, always hold that frown Until you lose control, then you sell your soul To the devil motherfucker cause you're way too cold And all the people hide and just run inside Cause you keep usin' yo' gat commitin' homicide Boy I tell ya, Life Is way Too $hort Another brother just got smoked And you killed him, ain't that a bitch? Cause it really ain't shit Shoot em up (gangsters) That ain't cool (gangsters) Ain't that a bitch (gangsters) Shoot em up (gangsters) That ain't cool (gangsters) Let me tell you somethin' youngster, you got it all wrong Gangsters don't live that long I had gangster potnahs get they heads to' off For some of that gangster shit, get caught in the cross You want stripes, take yo' ass to the service Cause when it's on, ain't no time to get nervous Pull the trigger, yeah you did it You'se a gangster and I got to admit it But you'se a youngbuck, you ain't learned yet Killing don't make you a vet Get out the fast line, stick with the homeboys Ready made gangster get gone boy Cause where I'm from it's the same old shit You call them shots, when you're down with the click Niggas dyin' everyday but that's a black thang You either sell dope, or your gangbang But you got the biggest heart in the click man You did a murder, and now you're a hitman All your homies tryin' to tell you, that ain't cool Playin' shoot 'em up, like a fuckin' fool But you'se a gangster, one they can't destroy Don't even give a fuck, about your boys You go for self, you want to be on top? Fucked around and now your brother's shot Shoot em up (gangsters) That ain't cool (gangsters) Ain't that a bitch (gangsters) Shoot em up (gangsters) That ain't cool (gangsters) (gangsters) Ain't that a bitch (gangsters) And it don't stop To the beat

Thankful

This beat makes me wanna yell “BIATCH” at the top of my lungs

this sample is necessarily angelic as hell

I remember buying this single and running it into the ground.. Loud!!

Smartest move that Hov ever did, this song made me wanna look for more Jay Z records at the time.

Why is jay z in that picture dressed like a Jew

Rest in peace Aretha Franklin

St ides cross colours khakis Jordan 7s white Sox SnapBack with this beat just says 1982

I appreciate this. I always felt that house of blues beat was extra fire 🔥🔥

Esa parte quede re increíble, esto lo llevaba tiempo buscando gracias

Does anyone know how to play this

Yo beat is fire you got just the instrumental without the airplane sound effect

Yo stem I would like to use this beat but could I get it without the airplane sound effect

is this an official mix because damn this is FIRE 🔥

My man TuPac knew how to handle an old school sample 🔥

So good

Nice!

That's dope

The original beat still is sicker than this version but the feelings I get from both are completely different. This one is more of a headbopper, the other one is more laidback, the other one allowed for one to focus on the lyrics more, this one makes you focus on the beat more imo.

Plz don't delete.

Humans are so simple. Honestly though, why is this so fye? 😆

[Intro] From the cradle to the grave Life ain't never been easy Livin' in the ghetto From the cradle to the grave Life ain't never been easy [Verse 1: 2Pac] June 16th, 1971 Mama gave birth to a hell-raisin' heavenly son See, the doctor tried to smack me, but I smacked him back My first words was, "Thug for life!" and "Papa, pass the MAC!" I'm bustin' on these motherfuckers ballin' Listen, you can hear my mini fourteen callin' From out the window of my drop top I got my Glock cocked, bustin' at niggas; when will it stop? Now, tell me, are you scared of the dark? Can't close my eyes, I see visions And even with this thug livin', will I escape prison? Penitentiary chances was an all day thang The only way to advance; and if you slang Then you'd better have your Nikes on, ‘cause when we fight, it's in the middle of the night with no lights on Hey! There must be a God, ‘cause I feel lucky Paranoid, out my mind, ‘cause motherfuckers tryin' to rush me Am I goin' to jail? Look at me bailin' Comin' out the court house, all about my mail and bank Never die, I'll be a hustler, motherfuckers Makin' thugs out you suckers, from the cradle to the grave [Hook] From the cradle to the grave Life ain't never been easy Livin' in the ghetto [Verse 2: Mopreme] From the cradle to the grave, since a little bitty child I've been known to get ill and kinda buck wild Pop pop! Just like the part that's in my walk with street talk I'm runnin' up the block in the dark where lead spark Surveillance on a nigga every day Waitin on my daddy just to take his ass away And mama always workin', tryin' to make ends meet So now a young nigga's being raised by the streets And then the only other one that ever showed me love Was my dope fiend uncle, strung out on drugs A straight thug, just me, my mama out here on our own So I got two gats, one black and one of chrome Now, I don't wanna hurt nobody, but I must defend mine It's all the fuck I got, so stop and walk a thin line Young niggas be brave And keep on thuggin' from the cradle to the grave From the cradle to the grave [Hook] From the cradle to the grave Life ain't never been easy Livin' in the ghetto [Verse 3: Rated R] From the cradle to the grave, I'm glad to say I made it this far Many G's died, hogs And all they got was they name hit up on a wall It's sad thinkin' about the times, life goes on I'm steady lost in this land, that's the war zone I gots no home, don't have no friends neither It's just me by my lonely, so I married my Nina I keeps her wherever I go, I love my ho Never leave home without my sugar, I'ma have to plug a nigga Mama told me not to trust no punks And kick his ass if he laid a hand on me Since then, that been known Sometimes I think my own self stupid ‘Cause I stay shootin' at marks Get twisted up in police reports Since the cradle, I've been ungrateful My first toy was a gun I got sprung and learned to love weapons But now I'm through with money And through with street fame Somebody peel my cap, and put me in my grave [Hook] From the cradle to the grave Life ain't never been easy Livin' in the ghetto From the cradle to the grave Life ain't never been easy Livin' in the ghetto [Verse 4: Macadoshis] March 18th, a rainy day my mama gave birth To a baby boy trapped in Hell on Earth From day one, it wasn't fun, I never had a crumb Daddy worked two jobs and Mama won't stop drinkin' rum I tried to cope, loc, but my family's broke And my pocket's short, so now I gotta slang dope In the game filled with pain, it's a fuckin' shame The white man got a motherfucker slangin' 'caine So now it's on from dusk to dawn, I'm gettin' my serve on Always in the spot with my Glock, slangin' rocks at the Rox The shit don't stop, I'm steady dodgin' cops I never flip-flop, hear my Glock cock, thug 'til I drop And if I hit the pen, I gotta do my time Sittin' on my bunk, reminiscin' 'bout the good times It's fucked up a nigga gotta grow up doin' dirt But from the cradle to the grave, I'ma put in work [Hook] From the cradle to the grave Life ain't never been easy Livin' in the ghetto From the cradle to the grave Life ain't never been easy Livin' in the ghetto [Verse 5: Big Syke] Time's movin' fast; will I last another day? So I pray and I lay with my AK Did I sell my soul as a young kid? All the things I did Wishin' someone held me, but they never did I can't take it; will I make it to my older age Before I'm shot up or locked up in a fuckin' cage? Lord, help me, guide me, save me! ‘Cause that's the way that Daddy raised me: crazy Do or die, nigga, pull the trigger, don't give a fuck You'd rather be in jail than get yo' ass bucked Nobody cares, it's me against the world Keepin' murder on my mind and my TEC-9 I got nothin' to lose, payin' dues, nigga, you wanna die? I get high, then my mission is a walk-by You'd better jet when I hit your set, ‘cause I'm comin' Start runnin', yellin' "evil mind" as I'm gunnin' One in the chamber, for the anger that I build inside For the mothers that cried, for my homies that died The beginnin' is a endin', am I just a slave? So I got to be brave, from the cradle to the grave [Hook] From the cradle to the grave Life ain't never been easy Livin' in the ghetto From the cradle to the grave Life ain't never been easy Livin' in the ghetto From the cradle to the grave Life ain't never been easy
