Chorus: Ja Rule]

Love don't love me

Is the only thing that seems to hold me

God can you explain why

Love don't love me

Is the only thing that seems to hold me

God can you explain why



[Ja Rule]

I sit alone in my four cornered room staring at candles

Gettin hot tryin to handle, this hand that's been dealt to me

I don't need, especially in this world overwhelmed with greed

See we cut from a different tree

Y'all niggaz hope and I wish a nigga would fuck with INC

Went through the troubles and the struggle of hustlin and runnin (what)

So the ones that come behind don't' run through nothin

They would fear no man but God and do a lot of frontin

And I'm here to tell the world that pain is lovin'

Like when I die I hope it rains

Cuz if it does, that mean the lord shared them niggaz pain

Here lie our man slain

And I would get out the game if I could

But I promised all my life to my kids I'd make good

Can't stand my father and love my momma

STILL I TRY, God can you explain why



[Chorus]



[Ja Rule]

I live my life under pistol, cuz lately love ain't been a issue

With who's gone miss you, when you dead and gone

Will my name live on? Or will I be the last to die and breathe and eat

Cuz I need a little love and affection and baby

I live like every day was my last one

Dang, I've been living my life... (haha, yea)

Like I'm a leave this world unmarked, smiles combed to horror

For all them days when it rains

And it feels like thangs ain't gettin no better for me

Nobody loves me, sometimes I wish God could come down and hug me

And wipe the tears from eyes

Cuz in my heart I know only the strong survive

And I die for my family, so they can live a better life

I try, God can you explain why



[Chorus]



[Ja Rule]

I'll sacrifice my life, fuck all the dumb shit

Cuz being black and broke's gettin redundant

My grow to be a world leader like X and King

If I can live a longer than Pac and BIG

What do (?) niggaz run red, you could tell by the lives we live

If it changes it'll be God's prediction, so pain inflicted, like Jane's Addiction

Live right like Christians, but dance with the death

It's like callin' stones a devil, the road is unlevel

Still I walk through the valleys of shadows of death gasping for air

Breathe in my last breath

My daughter told me first words, my son walked his first steps

And all through life we anticipate death

And if pain is truly love, for my family I DIE, God can you explain why



[Chorus
