new whips wit two seats and two doand's
iand'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 babry acts
now the look in your face is so relaxed
now your family moans and deals wit that
but me, iand'm a survivor like destinyand's children
til the day of my demise
iand'm gonna ask the lord why
[chorus: ja rule]

[ja rule]
they all want me...dead
why the fuck would they want to see me live?
so iand'm gearin up to get into some shit
niggaz better kiss the wife and kids
itand'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 didnand't like
never met a bitch nigga that i didnand't fight
now niggaz gon get down, and a nigga gon lay down
dependin on how niggaz view life
and youand'll never look in my eyes
and youand'll never, ever smile
cuz your high, is comin down
and you canand't touch me
but if you really wanna fuck wit me
cand'mon and get your heat my niggaz

but theyand'll never take me alive
iand'll get even before i die
cuz this world wants me...dead or alive
they all want me dead or alive
but theyand'll never take me alive
