Ride With Me
Ja Rule feat. Lloyd Lyrics

Nobody cares
People are indifferent and apathetic towards your problems or troubles.

Trouble's like a cancer, you gotta get it early
Difficulties and challenges are similar to a destructive disease, and it is important to address them as soon as possible.

You don't get it early, it gets too big, it kills you
If problems are not confronted and resolved early on, they can grow to an overwhelming extent, leading to disastrous consequences.

That's why you gotta cut it out
To prevent the negative impact of trouble, it is necessary to eliminate or remove it completely.

Worry about yourself, your family, and people that are important to you
Focus your concerns and attention on your own well-being, your loved ones, and those who hold significance in your life.

When your alone late at night in the bed, just you and her under the covers
During moments of solitude at night, lying in bed with your partner, enjoying the intimacy and connection between two individuals.

You're only allowed three great women in your life

They come along like the great fighters, once every ten years
Similar to renowned fighters, these extraordinary women appear in one's life only once in a decade, demonstrating their rarity and significance.

That's a good question, it's nice to be both but it'd be very difficult
The question of whether it is better to be loved or feared is thought-provoking, as both have their merits, although achieving both simultaneously can be challenging.

If I had my choice I'd rather be feared, see fear lasts longer than love
Given the opportunity, it would be preferable to instill fear in others, as fear tends to have a more lasting impact compared to love.

Don't forget where you came from
Maintain a strong connection and appreciation for your roots and origins.
