Song by Foxy Brown feat. Althea<br /><br>

[Male voice]<br>

Fox Five<br>

<br>

[Althea]<br>

Ohhh yeahh, yeah, ooh<br>

Yeahhh-yeah-yeah, ohhh, ohhhh<br>

<br>

[Verse One: Foxy Brown]<br>

From the cradle til' now, still Fox, just a little more mature<br>

Seen it with my bare eyes, did it all before<br>

Been through hell on earth<br>

Playin' out my role I was given since birth, receptin' it well<br>

Go hard at them critics, they expect me to fail<br>

Work hard for my fans, they expect me to sell<br>

They suspect I'm livin' well<br>

But they don't know the pain I feel<br>

Five minutes away from gettin' killed, it's ill<br>

My moms always hug me when I'm leavin'<br>

I wake up cryin' because death bugs me when I'm sleepin'<br>

Jam Master died, it's like I ain't done grievin'<br>

Big and Pac gone and look we still beefin'<br>

And son even, we at odds in these days<br>

where niggas die over cars and they chains<br>

I thank God that I'm saved and I'mma hold it down in this game<br>

Now, from the cradle to the grave<br>

<br>

[Chorus: Althea]<br>

From the cradle to the grave<br>

I, wish I knew my life would end up being this way<br>

From the cradle to the grave<br>

I, wish I knew my life would end up being this way<br>

<br>

[Verse Two: Foxy Brown]<br>

From the cradle til now, I been through it all y'all<br>

Y'all don't know half the things, I been through it dawg<br>

Pain and sufferation, I been through it all<br>

My heart's still cold, I been through the storm<br>

Confused all these years, shit, we grew all these years <br>

I remember me and you on the stairs<br>

Talkin' bout what we gonna do when we're big<br>

Money came into play and best friends went they way, shit<br>

I wish it never had to go that way, uh<br>

The price of fame can cost a whole friendship<br>

Yeah we got dollars, but it's senseless<br>

So I pray to God for forgiveness and ask him to carry me through<br>

all the stress and the drama in this business<br>

I bare witness, I Fox, and keep going strong until my heart stop<br>

and keep flowing strong with a ?rap pon coc?, c'mon<br>

<br>

[Chorus: Althea]<br>

From the cradle to the grave<br>

I, wish I knew my life would end up being this way<br>

From the cradle to the grave<br>

I, wish I knew my life would end up being this way<br>

<br>

[Althea]<br>

As a little girl I wish I knew that I<br>

would be goin' through the drama that's in my life<br>

All the sufferin', everywhere I been<br>

How I get myself in all this bullshit I'm in<br>

<br>

[Verse Three: Foxy Brown]<br>

From now til' the grave, I look back at my life<br>

smile and say "wow" in amazement<br>

All these roadblocks, wonder how did I make it<br>

wonder how I 'came famous, I'm impressed with me<br>

It's like rumours been obsessed with me<br>

but the truth never told, it was left with me<br>

And what's left for me, is to extend my hand<br>

If they don't reach then I'll let them be<br>

I got to live my life right<br>

but I wouldn't change how I lived my like <br>

if I could live my life twice<br>

Y'all don't understand what Inga's life's like<br>

A black stressed, I turned my back to the world<br>

and now I'm back to the world, this black girl's blessed<br>

Yeah, my fans helped me through it<br>

I was destined to blaze from the cradle to the grave<br>

Thank God my fam helped me through it (c'mon)<br>

<br>

[Chorus: Althea]<br>

From the cradle to the grave<br>

I, wish I knew my life would end up being this way<br>

From the cradle to the grave<br>

I, wish I knew my life would end up being this way<br>

<br>
