Always On Time Video (MV)




"Always on Time" is a song by American rapper Ja Rule from his third studio album, Pain Is Love (2001). Produced by Irv Gotti, it was written by Ja Rule, 7 Aurelius, and Gotti. Originally set to feature Brandy, it features guest vocals from singer-songwriter and labelmate Ashanti. The song was released as the album's second single on November 27, 2001, through Island Def Jam Music Group, Def Jam Recordings and Gotti's Murder Inc. Records.

"Always on Time" spent two weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in February and March of 2002, becoming Ja Rule's highest-charting single as lead artist. It was Ashanti's first mainstream #1, and Ja Rule's second after he was featured on Jennifer Lopez's "I'm Real (Murder Remix)" from her sophomore album J. Lo (2001). Coincidentally, the lyrics of "I'm Real (Murder Remix)" were penned by Ashanti, with the track featuring her background vocals as well. Several months later, Ja Rule and Lopez would appear on another song penned by Ashanti, "Ain't It Funny (Murder Remix)".

In 2009, "Always on Time" was named the 33rd most-successful song of the 2000s on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and the 82nd most-successful song of the 2000s on the mainstream Hot 100.

Ja Rule - Always On Time Lyrics




[ Featuring Ashanti ]

[Ashanti]
If you were me what would you do always a lie,
and never the truth, now as for me I'm moving on.
You'll always be my baby.

[Ashanti]
Baby I just gotta let you go for now, thought I
could take it for a while.
Maybe we'll make it back around baby I just have to live
my life For now can't see me changing for a while
if I could make it back around.

[Ashanti]
Anything that I want I could get it boy. You know
you turn me on and on that's why I switched my frame
of mind of being there when you call always on time. I'm
looking to spread my wings and party, evertything and for
everybody, I neeed my space my time alone its like our hearts
don't match no more, still anything that you want you could get it
boy. You know I still got love for you in court I plea the 5th my baby.

[Ashanti]
Baby I just gotta let you go for now, thought I
could take it for a while.
Maybe we'll make it back around baby I just have to live
my life. For now can't see me changing for a while
if I could make it back around.

Baby I just had to let you go for now, through I
could take it for a while maybe.
Make it back around baby I just have to live
my life. For now can't see me changing for a while
if I could make it back around.

When you was cheating you was probably thinking
I won't sense a thing but love got a funny way of catching up.
To lies your lies can't look me straight in the eyes.
I'm not surpise that you hurt me baby but why
me baby just let me breathe and I'll fly freely.
If you were me what would

you do always a lie and never the truth now as for me
I'm moving on you'll always be My baby.

[Ashanti]
Baby I just had to let you go for now, thought I
could take it for a while.
Maybe we'll make it back around baby I just have to live
my life. For now can't see me changing for a while
if I could make it back around.

Baby I just had to let you go for now, thought I
could take it for a while.
Maybe we'll make it back around baby I just have to live
my life. For now can't see me changing for a while
if I could make it back around.

[Ja Rule]
Why in the world would you wanna leave me girl
is it Something I did you felt that wasn't right home
I know a bitch could do bad on her own
you're not alone The way you hurt me baby
shit why me baby I be in pain a little
but I live without you with the love It is as long as its lets you go you
feel the need to relax with your baby
who else would to hold you and sex you crazy
R-U-L-E come on holla at me

[Ashanti]
Baby I just had to let you go for now, through I
could take it for a while maybe.
Make it back around baby I just have to live
my life. For now can't see me changing for a while
if I could make it back around.

Baby I just had to let you go for now, thought I
Could take it for a while.
Maybe we'll Make it back around baby I just have to live

[Ashanti]
If you were me what would you do
always a lie And never the truth
