[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]
N***a 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 n***as come and they go
Bitch n***as actin' like ho's, really needed to get treated like one
Hope you got yourself a gun n***as
'Cause you know I cock and blow n***as
And it's my right to silence the tip, get on some shit
Go on out six deep and slump n***as
'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
N***as really gonna hate me now
As I'm givin' a fuck
I'm tryna get my life together
Shit a n***a 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
N***as better kiss the wife and kids
It's just the way us n***as live
And I roll wit real n***as that run wit big guns
That are designed to pop ya lid (Shit)
Never met a real n***a I didn't like
Never met a bitch n***a I didn't fight
Now n***as gon' get down, and a n***a gon' lay down
Dependin' on how n***as 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 n***as
Told you before, my n***as
Don't ever doubt this n***a
'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
