Passion
Ja Rule Lyrics

Nobody loves me
Sometimes I feel like I don't have anyone who truly cares about me

Sometimes the world can seem so cold
The world can often feel harsh and uncaring

Looking through the windows of my soul
Reflecting on my inner thoughts and emotions

I see, the true fan now I know (I know, I know, I know)
I have come to recognize and appreciate those who genuinely support me

Why'all gotta love me
Why do you all have to love and support me

When the weight of the world was on my shoulders
During the times when I felt overwhelmed and burdened

You were there
You stood by my side and supported me

When it got heavy, I held it
I faced the challenges and responsibilities head-on

You were there
You were there to provide assistance and guidance

The ones that stood by me like soldiers
Those who remained loyal and supportive like dedicated soldiers

You were there
You never abandoned me

I know you love me
I am aware of the love and support I receive

But I'm still waiting for the Lord to come hug me
I am longing for a divine embrace and reassurance from God

Send a sign or somethin'
I am hoping for a clear indication or message

This is all for nothin'
I am beginning to question the purpose or significance of my efforts

The talent and passion of mine
My innate abilities and fervor for what I do

I'm sick of sufferin'
I am tired of enduring hardships and pain

I know your plans is greater than mine
I trust that God's intentions and designs are more significant than my own

So I'm asking
Thus, I am seeking answers and understanding

Why do you want me dead or alive
Why do you permit me to face danger and challenges

And how could you let the people see me through the enemy's eyes
Why do you allow others to view me with hostility and negativity

Like, jealousy, envy, Feds want to convict Gotti
People's envy and law enforcement's efforts to incriminate me, referencing the name 'Gotti'

I'm thinking probably we was gettin' too much money
Perhaps our financial success attracted unwanted attention

Too many niggaz in whips sittin' on twenties
Too many people flaunting their luxury cars with expensive rims

Too much connections to the streets, why'all niggaz doin' somethin'
Our strong ties to the streets indicate that we are involved in significant activities

And after overall assumptions, or it's all or nothin'
Following various assumptions and judgments, it's either complete success or failure

Ain't nothin' stopping the second coming, except the coffin
Nothing can prevent my return, except death

I may be encased, but even from there I still touch 'em
Although I may be confined, my impact and influence still reach others

Niggaz ??, that's why we still hustle
The missing word indicates that they face challenges, hence they continue to strive and work hard

For all my niggaz that can't be here
In honor of those who are no longer alive or present

For every tear, send my a prayer, I swear
I request that people pray for me during difficult times

But what's love, when your friends become enemies
The concept of love loses its meaning when your close friends betray and oppose you

Your nightmares are no longer your worst dreams
The things that frighten you in your dreams are overshadowed by the harsh reality you face

And as bad as everything seems
Despite the difficult circumstances

Keep hustling
Continue to work hard and persevere

We gon' get it by any means
We will achieve success using any necessary methods

How unfortunate, January the sixth
Referring to a specific event or date, highlighting an unfortunate situation

Federal officers, raided our offices
Government officials conducted a surprise search of our workplaces

Making it hard for us to eat, and breathe, and live
Their actions have created difficulties in maintaining basic necessities and livelihood

And they swear they got niggaz asking for relief
The authorities claim to have solid evidence against individuals, seeking leniency or assistance from them

They've been handin' down indictments for about a year
They have been issuing legal charges and accusations for approximately one year

And they send nobody to jail yet, we still in the clear
Despite the charges, no one has been imprisoned, indicating the individuals' innocence so far

And the Bible that said, "Thou shall not fear no man but God"
Referencing a biblical verse about not fearing any human except God

Whoever said that, ain't never faced the law
The person who spoke those words likely never experienced legal consequences

And why all this fake ?? going on
Questioning the prevalence of deceit and insincerity

I'm fighting niggaz, swingin' back against the wall
I am struggling against adversaries, pushing back despite difficult circumstances

That's for my niggaz that can't be here
Dedicating these actions and efforts to those who are no longer present

For every tear, send my a prayer, I swear
Requesting support and prayers from others during difficult times

How could you hate me, why would the Lord forsake me
Expressing confusion and disappointment over being disliked and feeling abandoned by God

Put the weight of the world on my shoulders
Feeling overwhelmed by immense responsibilities and pressures

I thinkin' I could brush it off and nobody notice
Believing that I could handle the burdens without others noticing the impact on me

Keep raisin' my kids: Britney, Jeffry, and Jordan
Continuing to be a dedicated parent and providing for my children

Keep coppin' new whips: Bentleys, Benzes, and Porsches
Purchasing luxurious cars like Bentleys, Benzes, and Porsches

My niggaz, and my fans is the only thing of importance
My friends and supporters are the only things that truly matter to me

It's crazy how the world turns
Reflecting on the unpredictability and chaos of life

Sometimes, you gotta light up and let it burn
Occasionally, you have to let go and allow things to unfold naturally

Sweep up your ashes, put 'em up in a urn
Metaphorically collecting the remnants of past experiences and storing them away

On a mantle from memories
Preserving memories and experiences as a reminder of the past

I hear you callin' me, Lord knows you love me
Feeling a spiritual connection and sensing God's love and guidance

The passion of Rule is so real, just lend me your ear
The intensity and genuineness of my music is evident, listen closely

You'll feel what I feel, you'll tear when I tear
By listening to my music, you'll understand and empathize with my emotions

The vision's real clear, just look in my eyes
My intentions and goals are evident, simply observe my determination

I believe in putting my life in the hands of God
I have faith in surrendering control of my life to God's guidance

For all my niggaz that can't be here
Dedicated to those who are no longer alive or present

For every tear, send me a prayer, I swear
Requesting prayers and support from others during challenging times
