Only Begotten Son

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

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

(2x)

Yeah,

Why would you leave somethin you love here to die

In the cold

And it grows

Like a concrete rose

Beautiful ain't I?

Till I withered and died

In them same streets you left me in

Screamin Lord let me in

I don't 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 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 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 you left home

But moms was so strong

Don't let them get you fed

This world is yours she said

Now nothin 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

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

(2x)

Broke wit nothin 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 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 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 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 fo' sho'

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

Life's got more to come, but when it's all said and done

You lost one love, tour only begotten son

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

(2x)

I wanted to be forever yours

Look it now we're nothin 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 somethin I'd die for

How the fuck do you sleep at night?

Knowin you wronged 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

But light will shine from the heavens and bless one

Ja Rule; love, your only begotten son

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
