The Warning (Album Version (Explicit))
Dear god, Im gonna teach you in this prayer
And I thank you for all the food youve 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 youve 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 theyll never take me alive
Ill get even before I die
Cuz this world wants me...Dead or alive
They all want me dead or alive
But theyll never take me alive
Ill get even before I die
Cuz this world wants me...Dead or alive
[Ja Rule]
************* look at what the streets have done to me man
Hustlin and strugglin
I deserve a better hand
Cuz Im runnin these streets under they say
Mother******s like you cant relate
Cuz you aint 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 thats the life you chose
Shoulve fallowed the cracks in the road
You heart and your soul
Cuz if theres one thing I know

Hope you got yourself a gun *************z
Cuz you know I ****** and blow *************z

Cuz Im a survivor like Destinys Children
To the day of my demise

[Chorus: Ja Rule]
They all want me dead or alive
But theyll never take me alive
Ill get even before I die
Cuz this world wants me...Dead or alive
They all want me dead or alive
But theyll never take me alive
Ill get even before I die
Cuz this world wants me...Dead or alive
[Ja Rule]

Now watch me ****** back and unload
Bullets goin threw the chest and out the back

Now the look in your face is so relaxed
Now your family moans and deals wit that
But me, Im a survivor like Destinys Children
Til the day of my demise

[Chorus: Ja Rule]
They all want me dead or alive
But theyll never take me alive
Ill get even before I die
Cuz this world wants me...Dead or alive

But theyll never take me alive
Ill get even before I die
Cuz this world wants me...Dead or alive
[Ja Rule]
They all want me...Dead
