50 Cent, cuyo nombre de nacimiento es Curtis James Jackson III, nació el 6 de julio de 1975 en el barrio de South Jamaica, Queens, Nueva York. Criado por su madre, Sabrina, quien fue traficante de drogas, 50 Cent enfrentó múltiples dificultades desde una temprana edad. Su madre murió cuando él tenía apenas ocho años, dejando a Curtis bajo el cuidado de sus abuelos.
Durante su adolescencia, Jackson cayó en el tráfico de drogas y tuvo numerosos problemas con la ley. Sin embargo, desde joven mostró interés en la música, escribiendo y componiendo sus propios temas.
El camino hacia el estrellato no fue fácil. 50 Cent comenzó su carrera musical en los últimos años de la década de 1990, grabando su primer álbum Power of the Dollar en 2000 para Columbia Records. Sin embargo, el álbum nunca fue lanzado oficialmente debido a un incidente que cambió su vida: 50 Cent recibió nueve disparos en un tiroteo en mayo de 2000. Milagrosamente, sobrevivió y decidió centrarse completamente en su carrera musical.
Tras recuperarse, 50 Cent llamó la atención de Eminem, quien quedó impresionado por su mixtape Guess Who's Back?. Eminem lo presentó a Dr. Dre, y juntos decidieron firmarlo bajo sus sellos discográficos, Shady Records y Aftermath Entertainment.
En 2003, lanzó su álbum debut Get Rich or Die Tryin', el cual fue un éxito

[Intro: 50 Cent]
50 Cent
Lloyd Banks!
[Chorus: 50 Cent]
Nobody get hurt if nobody don't move just give it up smooth (G-Unit!)
Motherfucker you move I'll flash my tool and blast my tool (G-Unit!)
Nigga you don't know me, and I don't know you, you think you know my crew? (G-Unit!)
[Verse: Lloyd Banks, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks & 50 Cent]
I been a problem since the old days, pimps and gold caps
Now I'm in O.J. Simpson throwbacks (Un-huh)
Y'all was wonderin where my ass been
Probably vacationin on South Beach gettin' head like an aspirin (Woo)
If you gassed, I can let the TEC pound your ego
Or lock you in a closet with the West Nile mosquito
The press crowd in people, especially celebrities
I'm heavily shittin' on any Tom Dick or Gregory
Nigga you better be strappin'
They want you dead if you rappin', I'm tryna to cave your head and your back in (Yeah!)
I'm gettin' bread and relaxin, and attractin a fan base of females with e-mails and letters to fax in (Ha ha)
In Vegas with a toaster and a blunt
And the hotel I'm checked in, got a rollercoaster (Get 'em Bank!) in the front
I'mma post 'em when I stunt, Sam Sosa of the month
Better yet the whole season, nigga, I'm still breathin', (Uh-huh) even though my dollars are green
I rap for the kids that's too poor to waste eggs on Halloween
I'm gettin' swallowed clean, my habits are good, collectin' all the karats I could
Slidin' from a (Ohhh!) stash spot to conceal the torture
And a good silencer to make it sound like the Wheel of Fortune (Yeah!)
All this careless talkin', 'cause I'm travelin' and flossin'
Havin' a good time, and you havin' a abortion (Come on)
You sucker for love, gettin' married and get divorced then
Can't even afford the batteries for your Walkman (Lloyd Banks)
I'm out the hood, burnin' Cali weed on Slauson where set trippin' turn to tragedies and coffins
Look, I mean what I'm sayin', you schemin', I'm sprayin'
Your team end up layin', on the sofa screamin' (Ohhh weee!) and prayin'
Sayin', "G-Unit niggas be rollin' crazy, holdin' 80s", older ladies starin' 'cause they starin' in that gold Mercedes
Since 50 hooked up with Shady, now they tryna book up and pay me
If you think I'm shook up you crazy, baby (Ahhhhh)
The boy strap two ninas
Smokin' out a bag big enough to fit on vacuum cleaners(Ahhhh!)
I wore a glove when I blaze your fatty
I ain't your baby daddy, she flippin', now he tryna grab me out the navy Caddy (Killin' 'em!)
I ain't your ave-y, papa was a rollin' stone, stockin' up to own a home, pocket full of loaded chrome, (Wooo!) drop and get a hold of dome
I know your motive homes, you mad, 'cause I'm fuckin' half your Motorola phone (Oh shit!)
I'm swift with the women I'm good with my words, a lot of
Niggas is hatin' on what I deserve, I'm hotter (Ahhhh!)
Front if you want, end up on the curb in your Prada
And your mans runnin', ambulance comin' (Ahhhh!)
'Nother day, another dollar, on the low from the Impala
I can have a sixsome in my shower (Shit), muhfucker (Ahhhh!)
[Chorus: 50 Cent]
Nobody get hurt if nobody don't move just give it up smooth (G-Unit!)
Motherfucker you move I'll flash my tool then blast my tool (G-Unit!)
Nigga you don't know me, and I don't know you, you think you know my crew? (G-Unit!)
I send a nigga that you thought you knew to come through and put a hole in you (G-Unit!)
[Outro: 50 Cent]
Lloyd Banks
Ha hah!
50 Cent!
I ain't even gotta work hard
Look at these niggas, ha ha ha
The fuck you gon' do now, nigga?
You a had the same niggas in the background for a long time
Think they gangsta
For goin' back and forth to jail
Well jumpin' the turnstile don't count, nigga, ha ha ha ha!
