Lyrics: Ja Rule. The Last Temptation. The Warning.

Dear God I'ma 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 healthy, safe and strong
As well as myself
And I thank you for everything you've given me this far, Lord
And I beg for forgiveness for I sin everyday
In your son's name, Christ Jesus
Amen

They all want me dead or alive
But they'll never take me alive
I'll get even before I die
'Cuz 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' strugglin'
I deserve a better hand
'Cuz I'm runnin' these streets under they say
Mother fuckers like you can't relate
'Cuz you ain't all about the hustlin' all about the bustin'
All about the thuggin' baby
Never let it go if you gotta die lie shake it with a fofo
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 who'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?

They all want me dead or alive
But they'll never take me alive
I'll get even before I die
'Cuz they all want me
(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

Take a look at what this world 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
Niggaz really gonna hate me now
As if I'm givin' a fuck
I'm tryina get my life together
Shit a nigga can't ride forever
Tryina see a hundred mil' or better
Befo' I die
Don't ask me why?
I, got a fascination for freak hoes
New whips wit two seats and to 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 barbry acts
Now the look in your face is so relaxed
Now your family moans and deals with that
But me, I'm a survivor like destiny's children
Till the day of my demise
I'ma ask the Lord why?

They all want me dead or alive
But they'll never take me alive
I'll get even before I die
'Cuz 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
Why the fuck would they want to see me live?
So I'm gearin' up to get into some shit
Niggaz better kiss the wife and kid's
It's just the way us niggaz live
And I run wit real niggaz 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 niggaz gonna get down and niggaz gonna lay down
Dependin' on how niggaz view life
And you'll never look in my eyes
And you'll never ever smile
'Cuz your high is comin' down
And you can't touch me
But if you really wanna fuck wit me
C'mon and get your heat my niggaz
Don't you ever p'voke my niggaz
Don't ever doubt this nigga
'Cuz I'm a survivor like destiny's children
'Til the day of my demise
I'ma ask the Lord why?

They all want me dead or alive
But they'll never take me alive
I'll get even before I die
'Cuz 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 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

{This is big mother fuckin' Remo
And this hell what I'm tellin' you man
My mother fuckin' niggaz ain't playin'
We mother fuckin' gangsta's man

Right now we gonna give you some'in to mother fuckin' think 'bout man
These niggaz is movin' like the mob man
What the fuck is goin' on}
