[Ja Rule]
  Uh, yeah
  It's Ja Rule nigga
  Uh, uh, yeah
  Feel this
  Uh, Ja Rule nigga
  Def Jam, Ja
    Look at my life style 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 to take only what they gave us
  The game is our loss
  Watch yo gloat
  Then show you that this world aint 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 goldin'
  This ryme hit me at a young age and kept callin'
  I know I'm fallin'
  To the evil of money and drugs and lost woman
  But thats what I'm lovin' about livin'
  Bein' I see my birth as a givin'
  Knowin' my inner limits
  This game aint no scrimmage
  Lets 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
  Niggas know the flows crazy
    [Chorus]
  What makes a nigga 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
  Were we goin' in life figure
  There's no start no end
  But when in doubt you could count on your nigga
  What makes a nigga 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 nigga
    [Ja Rule]
  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 wips not this thicks the hottest chicks
  I just can't seem to keep them off my dicks
  The difference is ya'll did ya'll thing on the low
  Made alot of doe
  We did our thing high pro
  Thou 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 niggas them was loved
  Now were in to 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
  Nigga you with me
  Your flossin, out side that you fear me
  Literally strait 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, Nigga
    [Chorus]
  What makes a nigga 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
  Were we goin' in life figure
  There's no start no end
  But when in doubt you could count on your nigga
  What makes a nigga 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 nigga
