[Ja Rule]

Dear god, I'm gonna teach you in this prayer

And I thank you for all the food you've given me

And all the health and strength

And may my family be held safely and strong

As well as myself

And I thank you for everything you've given me thus far, lord

And I beg your forgiveness

For I sin everyday

In your sons name, Christ Jesus

Amen

[Chorus: Ja Rule]

They all want me

Dead or alive

But they'll never

Take me alive

I'll get even before I die

'Cause they all want me

Dead or alive

But they'll never

Take me alive

I'll get even

Before I die

'Cause this world wants me

Dead or alive

[Verse 1: Ja Rule]

Nigga look at what the streets have done to me man

Hustlin' and strugglin'

I deserve a better hand

'Cause I'm runnin' these streets under they say

Motherfuckers like you can't relate

'Cause you ain't all about the hustling all about the bustin'

All about the thuggin', baby

Never let it go

If you gotta die, lie, shake it wit a fo'-fo'

Then do so, cuz that's the life you chose

Should've fallowed the cracks in the road

You heart and your soul

'Cause if there's one thing I know

Good niggas come and they go

Bitch niggas actin' like ho's, really needed to get treated like one

Hope you got yourself a gun niggas

'Cause you know I cock and blow niggas

And it's my right to silence the tip, get on some shit

Go on out six deep and slump niggas

'Cause I'm a survivor like Destiny's Children

'Till the day of my demise

I'ma ask the lord why

[Chorus: Ja Rule]

They all want me

Dead or alive

But they'll never

Take me alive

I'll get even

Before I die

'Cause they all want me (want me)

Dead or alive

But they'll never

Take me alive

I'll get even

Before I die

'Cause this world wants me

Dead or alive

[Verse 2: Ja Rule]

Take a look at what this worlds done made me

All I really want to do is be happy, and raise my family

But I'm strong, motherfuckers can't break me down

Niggas really gonna hate me now

As I'm givin' a fuck

I'm tryna get my life together

Shit a nigga can't ride forever

Tryna see a hundred mil' or better

'fore I die

Don't ask me why, I

Got a fascination wit for freak ho's

New whips wit two seats and two do's

I've been waitin' so long to explode

Now watch me cock back and unload

Bullets goin threw the chest and out the back

Shit is usually how the bod reacts

Now the look in your face is so relaxed

Now your family mourns and deal wit that

But me

I'm a survivor like Destiny's Children

'Till the day of my demise

I'ma ask the lord why

[Chorus: Ja Rule]

They all want me

Dead or alive

But they'll never

Take me alive

I'll get even

Before I die

'Cause they all want me

Dead or alive

But they'll never

Take me alive

I'll get even

Before I die

'Cause this world wants me

Dead or alive

[Verse 3: Ja Rule]

They all want me...Dead

Why the fuck would they wanna see me live?

So I'm gearin' up to get into some shit

Niggas better kiss the wife and kids

It's just the way us niggas live

And I roll wit real niggas that run wit big guns

That are designed to pop ya lid (Shit)

Never met a real nigga I didn't like

Never met a bitch nigga I didn't fight

Now niggas gon' get down, and a nigga gon' lay down

Dependin' on how niggas view life

And you'll never

Look in my eye

And you'll never

Ever smile

'Cause your high

Is comin' down

And you can't touch me

But if you really wanna fuck wit me

Come on and get your heat my niggas

Told you before, my niggas

Don't ever doubt this nigga

'Cause I'm a survivor like Destiny's Children

'Till the day of my demise

I'ma ask the lord why

[Chorus: Ja Rule]

They all want me

Dead or alive

But they'll never

Take me alive

I'll get even

Before I die

'Cause they all want me

Dead or alive

But they'll never

Take me alive

I'll get even

Before I die

'Cause this world wants me

They all want me

Dead or alive

But they'll never

Take me alive

I'll get even

Before I die

'Cause they all want me

Dead or alive

But they'll never

Take me alive

I'll get even

Before I die

'Cause this world wants me

Dead or alive

[Outro: Remo]
