This term is already used to describe the cycle of human life in general. When used in urban slang the emphasis of the phrase is featured on the word GRAVE. Grave = gravy as in, "it's all gravy" meaning it's all good. When adding the "cradle to the..." portion in the beginning is just further verbage to emphasize the eloquence of slang.

This term came about when the movie Cradle 2 The Grave (starring DMX, Jet Li) had played ads on TV for it's release. Rapper Jedd Rizzun Michrophone Magician of San Jose, CA had coined the term and is used in that area as well as other parts of northern california.
Used in a response for an apology:
"Yo, ay man, damn... I didn't have your back last night, I was tore up!"
"Oh it's all cradle to the grave man.. I handled my own with those breezies"

Used in response to an embarrassing mishap:
"Haha!! You done spilled that drank all over your kicks.. haha!"

"It's all cradle to the grave... I ain't stressin'"

The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics.
