Drown
Ja Rule Lyrics

Please don't let me drown drown drown(I'm so cold)
Don't allow me to sink into my sorrows and give up hope

Please don't let me drown drown drown(Don't let me drown)
Help me stay afloat in the turbulent waters of life

Please don't let me drown drown drown(I'm so cold)
My heart is frozen with fear and anxiety, please don't let me succumb to it

Please don't let me
Please don't let me perish

Yes sir
Affirmative response to an unwritten question

They fought me
People have doubted and opposed me in the past

I'm going in the downer shape
I am spiraling downwards into a state of sadness and despair

Into the darker days
My future looks bleak and uncertain, with more challenges on the horizon

All life was fatally
Life itself seems to be leading me towards an untimely death

The burst of your judgment day
The moment of spiritual reckoning and judgment is approaching

Lord let me take it both water like the French quarter
Lord, let me weather the storm and rise above the adversity like the city of New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina

I'm so walker now
I am numb and desensitized to the harsh realities of life

I'm overlooking the ocean
I am standing on the deck of a yacht, surveying the vast expanse of the sea

From the deck of the yacht the view's gorgeous
The beauty of the view from the yacht is awe-inspiring

They have the shark in the waters
There are dangers lurking in the depths of the ocean

But is the few who's among us
Only a select few have the courage and strength to face these dangers

nigga, they wanna bite like piranha
Some people are out to harm and destroy others, like a swarm of piranhas attacking their prey

I overflow near DiCaprio
I am overflowing with wealth and success, like the character portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio in the movie 'The Wolf of Wall Street'

I'm top ten bigger than life the aura
I am a larger-than-life figure, with a dominating and charismatic presence

If this ship sink nigga I'm gonna walk on water
Even if everything falls apart and I lose everything, I will still rise above it and thrive

Gigantic but Jesus I'm of the Christian manic
Despite my immense stature and power, I still feel the need for spiritual guidance and connection with God

How do I manage?
How do I maintain my success and overcome the obstacles that come my way?

To be above average and not ever again
To remain exceptional and not fall back into mediocrity

To be the one to dive in knowing I can't swim
To take risks and face challenges even though I am not completely well-equipped or prepared

For me to go under not breathing
For me to suffer a shameful and ignoble defeat

Pray for me 'cause I tested positive
Ask for divine assistance and blessings for me because I am supremely successful and accomplished

For being the shit now niggas won't touch me
Because of my vast wealth and fame, some people are intimidated and hesitant to approach me

And I'm allergic to broke niggas, trust me
I have no patience or tolerance for people who are unsuccessful or financially unstable

Independent, been in the blood since a young gun
I have always been fiercely independent and self-sufficient from a young age

So I'm thinking there ain't no cure for my illness
I believe that my success and fame are an inherent part of who I am, and cannot be cured or removed

And the diagnose is just something I could live with
I have come to terms with my situation and learned to accept it

'Cause I'd have make it rain on bitches, storm on niggas
I have the power to make it rain with money and shower women with lavish gifts, and I am willing to unleash my wrath on those who oppose me

Cash flow like rivers (Please don't let me drown)
My wealth and income are constantly flowing, but at the same time, I am afraid of losing it all

The drifting it wasn't enough for me
Merely drifting along with the flow of life was not fulfilling enough for me

To be in the deepest of waters, to feel like I'm snorkeling
I am seeking deeper and more meaningful experiences, even if they come with greater risks

Off shore and this so reassuring
Being offshore and away from land provides a sense of comfort and security

That I'm still sick, in need of a donor
Despite my success and wealth, I am still deeply flawed and struggling with internal issues

'Cause I'm heartless, so I dive in
I am ruthless and unfeeling, so I am willing to plunge headlong into risky situations without considering the consequences

No life vest, knowing I can't swim
I have no safety net or backup plan, and I am not completely capable of handling the difficulties I may face

So if I go under and I'm breathing
Even if I suffer setbacks or failures, I will still survive and persevere

Am I drowning?
Am I truly in a state of defeat or agony, or am I simply facing minor setbacks and challenges?

This is the story of a girl (pray)
This is the story of a girl who has faced immense challenges and setbacks

Who cried a river and drowned the whole world (they fought me)
She was overwhelmed with sadness and despair, which consumed her and affected everyone around her

I told her cry me a river, little mama don't give up
I encouraged her to keep persevering and not to let her despair consume her

Daddy's here to deliver, the world is cold
As her mentor and guide, I am here to support and guide her through the difficulties of life

So them tears you can tie them up
Don't let your tears and sadness hurt you or hold you back, use them to motivate you and drive you forward

Just don't wanna let 'em running down your face
Don't let your sadness or despair become overwhelming

Baby the world is frozen
The world can be cruel and unforgiving, but we must remain strong and resilient in the face of challenge

I told her if she shared it with me then it'd be ours
If she opens up to me and shares her struggles, we will face them together and emerge stronger

Like anything you maw
Like a mother nurturing and caring for her child

How can you give and drown?
How can you be a giver and yet be consumed by your own struggles?

Under water I can't hear a sound but I
When we are submerged in our own struggles and sorrow, it can be hard to hear the advice and support of others

See the rain dropping like tears from God am I
In moments of despair, we may feel as if we are abandoned by God or that our tears are being caused by divine intervention

Mother's telling me that it's a sign of wealth
Some people believe that tears are a sign of emotional and material wealth, since they come from a place of deep feeling and connection

When I don't think the Lord is too fond of her
Despite this belief, I don't believe that God causes or wants us to suffer in this way

But there's gotta be a reason
Despite my doubts and struggles, I have faith that there is a greater purpose and meaning to our struggles and suffering

Please don't let me drown
This plea is a recurring theme throughout the song, representing a fear of succumbing to the challenges and difficulties of life
