[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 forgivness 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 Cuz this world wants me...Dead or alive They all want me dead or alive But they'll never take me alive I'll get even before I die Cuz this world wants me...Dead or alive [Ja Rule] n***a look at what the streets have done to me man Hustlin and strugglin I deserve a better hand Cuz I'm runnin these streets under they say Motherf**ers like you can't relate Cuz 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 Shoul've fallowed the cracks in the road You heart and your soul Cuz if there's one thing I know Good n***az come and they go b**h n***az actin like ho's, merely needed to get treated like one Hope you got yourself a gun n***az Cuz you know I co*k and blow n***az And if right silent the temp, get on some sh** Go on out, six feet deep and slump n***az Cuz I'm a survivor like Destiny's Children To 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 Cuz this world wants me...Dead or alive They all want me dead or alive But they'll never take me alive I'll get even before I die Cuz this world wants me...Dead or alive [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, motherf**ers can't break me down n***az really gonna hate me now As I'm givin a f** I'm tryna get my life together sh** a n***a can't ride forever Tryna see a hundred mil' or better Befo' I die Don't ask me why, I Got a fasination 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 co*k back and unload Bullets goin threw the chest and out the back sh** is usually how the babry acts Now the look in your face is so relaxed Now your family moans and deals wit that But me, I'm a survivor like Destiny's Children Til the day of my demise I'm gonna 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 Cuz this world wants me...Dead or alive They all want me dead or alive But they'll never take me alive I'll get even before I die Cuz this world wants me...Dead or alive [Ja Rule] They all want me...Dead Why the f** would they want to see me live?
