[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

Nigga 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

Motherfuckers 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 niggaz come and they go

Bitch niggaz actin like ho's, merely needed to get treated like one

Hope you got yourself a gun niggaz

Cuz you know I cock and blow niggaz

And if right silent the temp, get on some shit

Go on out, six feet deep and slump niggaz

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 thi
