cradle to the grave 

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'"

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
