Cradle 2 Tha Grave
Struggles of a Troubled Past: Bishop Snow's Reflection in 'Cradle 2 Tha Grave'
Lyrics
Probation just raided my house, so I'm out
Probation officers searched my home, forcing me to leave
Really curious on what it was about
Curious about the reason behind the raid
Cause i have no violations, I swore I checked in
Claiming innocence, asserting regular check-ins
Unless I tested positive for Juice and Gin
Suspecting a positive drug test for substances like Juice and Gin
Then again, my baby momma really wants me locked
Baby mama wants me arrested, checking on my son during the chaos
I'm checkin on my son while she callin the cops
Monitoring child while she contacts the police
Ain't no Glock in my whip, I ain't sellin dope to kids
No illegal weapons in my car, not involved in drug dealings with kids
My past gets me caught up, again and again
Past actions repeatedly causing trouble
I wish I grew up in the suburbs
Expressing a desire to have grown up in a safer environment
I wish my father had worn a rubber
Wishing for a responsible father
I wish I recognized the under covers
Regretting not recognizing undercover law enforcement
And I wish that life ain't a muthafucka
Reflecting on the challenges of life
I been sober for the past few months, I know I'm good
Claiming sobriety in recent months
My names getting brought up at meetings in the hood
Name discussed in neighborhood meetings due to recent actions
Cause i stepped to the back, I gave my mom a heart attack
Backing away, causing distress to mom
Where's the ambition I lack
Reflecting on a lack of ambition
Creepin on the low
Engaging in secretive activities
I wish they didn't know
Wishing for anonymity
Told me it's fasho
Confirmation of certain information
The opps are gonna blow
Expecting trouble from rivals
I know, I can't hide
Acknowledging inability to hide
It ain't about the dough
Emphasizing the situation is not about money
I know, I can't try
Understanding the futility of trying to change the circumstances
Outside it's really cold
Describing harsh external conditions
Ran from the police, posted at the homies house
Fleeing from law enforcement, seeking refuge at a friend's place
Been bangin since the age of 15, I think they know me now
Long history of gang involvement since a young age
Niggas from the other side ain't seen me in a few days
Unknown individuals from rival territory noticing absence
Driving my caprice, think I'm too paid
Driving an expensive car, appearing successful
I gotta steal 40s from the other markets
Stealing alcohol from rival neighborhoods
Blacked out in another hood, I don't know where I parked it
Lost in a different neighborhood, uncertain about the car's location
I see no 22s shining, who is on the loose
No recognizable threats in the area
Down on mission ave, couple niggas in a coupe
Observing others in a suspicious manner
Dont recognize the whip, therefore I keep my distance
Keeping a distance from an unfamiliar vehicle
Whistle from the back of me, I had to stop and listen
Alerted by a whistle, pausing to assess the situation
Only saw the flashes the pistols, as I bled
Witnessing gunshots and realizing a setup
I knew these niggas set me up, aint in my head
Acknowledging betrayal and danger
I must've never paid attention where it matters
Realizing neglect in paying attention to crucial details
My scattered, thoughts in my brain since they saw that I'm a rapper
Scattered thoughts due to being identified as a rapper
Wanna take my credibility as ugly as it gets
Facing attempts to damage credibility
The streets got a hold of my until there's nothing left
Being consumed by the harsh realities of the streets
Creepin on the low
Engaging in secretive activities
I wish they didn't know
Wishing for anonymity
Told me it's fasho
Confirmation of certain information
The opps are gonna blow
Expecting trouble from rivals
I know, I can't hide
Acknowledging inability to hide
It ain't about the dough
Emphasizing the situation is not about money
I know, I can't try
Understanding the futility of trying to change the circumstances
Outside it's really cold
Describing harsh external conditions
