Only Begotten Son

JA RULE

4

He who believeth in Ja

Shall not be condemned

But he that believeth not

Is condemned already

Only because

He has not believed

In the man and the only begotten son

My Lord

(chorus)

For he so feared the word

He left his only begotten son

To shed his blood

Show that pain is love

But I wont cry

Cause I live to die

Wit my mind on my money

And my guns in the sky (x2)

Yeah,

Why would you leave somethin you love here to die

In the cold

And it grows

Like a concrete rose

You the fool aint I

Till I withered and died

On the same streets you left me

And, screamin Lord let me in

I dont know where to begin

Since I lost yo love

But then again your love

Was strictly for the drugs

I dont know whether to hug

Or to fill you with slugs

Fuckin them whores

Instead of claiming whats rightfully yours

Holdin my heart from all the pain you caused

With no direction you left your first born lost

Give or take a 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 nigga, left me 'lone

And parts of me never out grown

The fact that left home

When moms was so strong

Dont let them get you fed

This world is yours she said

Now nothin that stoppin me but two to the head

In life theres more to come

When its all said and done

You lost one love

Your only begotten son

(chorus X2)

But what a nigga 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 niggas

The floss of most bitches

The love that runs deepest

In the hearts of street niggas

Raised in the ghetto

By the ghetto

Was taught young to pop the medal

Thats how shit get settled

Learn to cook up the coke

Never leave home without toast

Learn to fly my bitches with birds not coats

Never trust ya, from a toddler to hustla

I was trained as a youngsta, to cock back and slug ya

Love me or hate me, ya only son

Let me live or kill me, the chosen one

Ja, under the gun gotta kill 'em for show

If you want it you gonna get more then you askin for

Lifes got more to come

But when its all said and done

You lost one love

Your only begotten son

(chorus: x2)

I wanted to be fam of yours

Looking now at nothin more than

Two lost souls

Lookin to meet at the cross roads

I burn the hydro

Lay back with my eyes closed

In deep thought like Brittany is somethin I'd die for

How the fuck do you sleep at night?

Knowin you wrong the only thing you ever did right

Despite the loss I stretch the length of a short

Now I got a new father whose name is New York

Runnin wild in the streets

With heat, we don't talk

Cause when its cold you basically live life in dark

When light would shine from the heavens

And bless one Ja Rule loved

Your only begotten son

(chorus: x3)
