Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He who believeth in Ja
Shall not be condemned
But he do believeth not
Is condemned already
Only because
He hath not believed
In the man and the only begotten son
My Lord
[Verse 2]
For he so feared the world
He left his only begotten son
To shed his blood
Show that pain is love
But I won't cry
'Cause I live to die
With my mind on my money
And my guns to the sky
[Verse 3]
For he so feared the word
He left his only begotten son
To shed his blood
Show that pain is love
But I won't cry
'Cause I live to die
With my mind on my money
And my guns to the sky
[Verse 4]
Why would you leave something you love here to die?
In the cold, and it grows, like a concrete rose
Beautiful, ain't I?
Till I withered and died
On them same streets you left me in
I don't know where to begin
Since I lost your love
But then again, your love was strictly for the drugs
I don't know whether to hug
Or to fill you with slugs
Fuckin' them whores
Instead of claimin' what's rightfully yours
Pierced a hole in my heart from all the pain you caused
With no direction you left your first born lost
Give or take  few
'Cause my hate for you
Grew, over the years
Through blood, sweat, and tears
I wanted to be just like you
My father figure, now I want to fight you
You bitch ****, left me 'lone
And parts of me never outgrown
The fact that you left home
But moms was so strong
Don't let them get you fed
This world is yours, she said
Now nothing is stoppin' me but two to the head
In life, there's more to come when it's all said and done
You lost one love, your only begotten son
[Verse 5]
For he so feared the word
He left his only begotten son
To shed his blood
Show that pain is love
But I won't cry
'Cause I live to die
With my mind on my money
And my guns to the sky
[Verse 6]
He so feared the world
He left his only begotten son
To shed his blood
Show that pain is love
But I won't cry
'Cause I live to die
With my mind on my money
And my guns to the sky
[Verse 7]
Broke with nothing to live for
And damn ready to die young
I'm the shadow behind the gun
Look at what I've become
The fear of many ****
The floss of most bitches
The love that runs deepest
In the hearts of street ****
Raised in the ghetto
By the ghetto
Was taught young to pop the metal
That's how shit get settled
Learn to cook up the coke
Never leave home without toast
Learn to fly my bitches with birds, in first, not coach
Never trust you, from a toddler to a hustler
I was trained as a youngster to cock back and slug you
Love me or hate me, your only son
Let me live or kill me, the chosen one
Ja, under the gun, gotta' kill 'em for sure
If you want it, you gon' get more than you askin' for
Life's got more to come, but when it's all said and done
You lost one love, your only begotten son
[Verse 8]
For he so feared the world
He left his only begotten son
To shed his blood
Show that pain is love
But I won't cry
'Cause I live to die
With my mind on my money
And my guns to the sky
[Verse 9]
He so feared the world
He left his only begotten son
To shed his blood
Show that pain is love
But I won't cry
'Cause I live to die
With my mind on my money
And my guns to the sky
[Verse 10]
I wanted to be forever yours
Look it, now we're nothing more than two lost souls
Lookin' to meet at the crossroads
I burn the hydro, lay back with my eyes closed
In deep thought like Brittany is something I'd die for
How the fuck do you sleep at night?
Knowin' you wronged the only thing that you ever did right
Despite the loss, I stretch the length of a short
Now I got a new father who's name is New York
Runnin' wild in the streets
With heat, we don't talk
'Cause when it's cold, you basically live life in the dark
But light will shine from the heavens and bless one
Ja Rule, love, your only begotten son
[Verse 11]
For he so feared the world
He left his only begotten son
To shed his blood
Show that pain is love
But I won't cry
'Cause I live to die
With my mind on my money
And my guns to the sky
[Verse 12]
He so feared the world
He left his only begotten son
To shed his blood
Show that pain is love
But I won't cry
'Cause I live to die
With my mind on my money
And my guns to the sky
[Verse 13]
He so feared the world
He left his only begotten son
To shed his blood
Show that pain is love
But I won't cry
'Cause I live to die
With my mind on my money
And my guns to the sky
