[Intro]
Uh, yeah
It's Ja Rule n***a
Uh, uh, yeah
Feel this
Uh, Ja Rule n***a
It's Def Jam, Ja

[Verse 1]
Look at my lifestyle, it's dangerous
When I was young, this sorta life was contagious
Hustlin' hard like them sharks down in Vegas
My gat and I come bust spontaneous
This world made us only to take what they gave us
The game is our loss, watch yo gloat
Then show you that this world ain't yours
Push crack like swingin' doors and leave strips wide open
Ja's holdin', a pair a nines and ya'll cats foldin'
My life ain't been all that golden
This rhyme hit me at a young age and kept callin'
I know I'm fallin' into the evil of money and drugs and lost woman
But that's what I'm lovin' about livin'
Bein' I see my birth as a givin', knowin' my inner limits
This game ain't no scrimmage, let's play big, we're winners
Beg the Lord for forgiveness for when I die
Please take me off your shit list, cause I'll be nameless
Puttin' them through changes, the J to the A
N***as know the flows crazy
[Chorus]
What makes a n***a what he is?
And how do we get from where we at to where we be?
It's evident who's out for the dead president
And why so many close to my heart had to die
Where we goin' in life figure, there's no start no end
But when in doubt you could count on your n***a
What makes a n***a what he is?
And how do we get from where we at to where we be?
It's evident who's out for the dead president
And why so many close to my heart had to die
Where we goin' in life figure, there's no start no end
But when in doubt you could count on your n***a

[Verse 2]
I got a lust for this money, admire them old-timers
Assume with no conscience, made a world so chaotic
Opened up my mind and introduced me to narcotics
Brand new whips, not this thicks the hottest chicks
I just can't seem to keep them off my dicks
The difference is y'all did y'all thing on the low
Made a lot of dough, we did our thing high pro
Though we still blew, I wish I knew dirty money was evil
I never understood until I lost a few people
Dead and gone, still their memory lives on
Throw a mural up, let them n***as them was loved
Now we're into better things, got our hands on every ring
Crime in the streets, cause it's my time
I draw the line between love and war really
N***a you with me, you're flossin', outside that you fear me
Literally straight up and down with no cross
As God is my witness and JA is yours
I'm a spit in your directions, hit the floors, n***a
[Chorus]
What makes a n***a what he is?
And how do we get from where we at to where we be?
It's evident who's out for the dead president
And why so many close to my heart had to die
Where we goin' in life figure, there's no start no end
But when in doubt you could count on your n***a
What makes a n***a what he is?
And how do we get from where we at to where we be?
It's evident who's out for the dead president
And why so many close to my heart had to die
Where we goin' in life figure, there's no start no end
But when in doubt you could count on your n***a

[Interlude]
Uh, yeah

Topp dogg n***a

Uh, Uh
Ja Rule n***a
Uh, Uh

Def Jam n***a
Uh, yeah
Recognize
Uh, yo
I'm big boy n***a
What the deal big boy
What the deal
Uh, yeah
All my n***as, live on
Dog
We kill 'em all
[Chorus]
What makes a n***a what he is?
And how do we get from where we at to where we be?
It's evident who's out for the dead president
And why so many close to my heart had to die
Where we goin' in life figure, there's no start no end
But when in doubt you could count on your n***a
What makes a n***a what he is?
And how do we get from where we at to where we be?
It's evident who's out for the dead president
And why so many close to my heart had to die
Where we goin' in life figure, there's no start no end
But when in doubt you could count on your n***a
Uh, yeah
