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 (Christopher Williams)]
(Don't wake me, I'm dreaming)
This feels like a dream, yeah
(Don't wake me, I'm dreaming) haha
[Verse 1: 50 Cent]
I'm dreaming big, real big, I got big dreams
I'll kill 'em this year, I got big schemes
It's bigger than coke, it's bigger than dope
My marijuana mentality went up in smoke
I go hard, so hard there ain't nothing harder (yeeeahhh)
Poor or rich, my nigga, I hustle regardless
'Til I die and touch the sky
I'll be trying to get my piece of the pie
Shoot me or love me or hate me or leave me alone (c'mon)
The jealousy's growing 'cause I'm in the zone (yeah)
The underground king, I'm on the throne
'Cause niggas just ain't on the shit that I'm on
What I've been through shift my mental
It sounds like murder on the instrumental (yeah)
I tend to spaz, I went through cash
So fast got to get me some more
[Verse 2: Christopher Williams (50 Cent)]
If I'm dreaming then just let me sleep (man!)
Don't wake me up 'til my dream is complete
If I'm dreaming then leave me alone (feels like New Jack City, ha ha)
Turn off the lights and unplug the phone
I can't get over the fact that I'm with you (ha ha)
Now that I have you I don't know what to do
(I don't know what to do)
Girl, if I'm dreaming I'm dreaming 'bout you (that's fo' sure)
About the things that I'd like to do (wo-wo-woo!)
[Chorus: Christopher Williams (50 Cent)]
Don't wake me, I'm dreaming (don't wake me girl)
Girl, don't wake me (ha ha)
Don't wake me, I'm dreaming (this feels too good man)
Girl, I'm dreaming 'bout you
[Verse 3: Christopher Williams (50 Cent)]
If I'm dreaming then just let me sleep (let me dream man)
Don't wake me up 'til my dream is complete
If I'm dreaming just leave me alone (leave me alone)
Turn off the lights and unplug the phone
I've been waiting for such a long time (I need you, girl)
For you to say that you would be mine (come on)
Now that you're here, here by my side (yeah)
I can't control the way that I feel inside (I can't believe it)
[Chorus: Christopher Williams (50 Cent)]
Don't wake me, I'm dreaming (it feels like a dream)
Girl, don't wake me
Don't wake me, I'm dreaming (ha ha)
Girl, I'm dreaming 'bout you
[Bridge: Christopher Williams (50 Cent)]
If I'm dreaming just let me sleep (don't wake me up)
Don't wake me up 'til my dream is complete (come on, baby, I'm)
If I'm dreaming just leave me alone (leave me alone)
Turn off the lights and unplug the phone
[Verse 4: Unknown Rapper (50 Cent)]
Don't wake me up 'cause Clean Cut's dreaming (yeah)
In a deep sleep my mind keeps scheming (come on)
I heard she had a man, I said ''so what?''
She be looking sweeter than a honey (?) donut
And I wanna taste her, straight, no chaser
We can do this now if not then maybe later (uh huh)
Front to back, in fact I keep her screaming
For you I'm fiending, girl, you got me dreaming
(This year make me wan' do the wop, man)
[Bridge: Christopher Williams (50 Cent)]
If I'm dreaming about you, let's make this dream come true
(You can make it come true)
If I'm dreaming about you, let's make this dream of love come true (AOWW!)
[Chorus: Christopher Williams (50 Cent)]
Don't wake me, I'm dreaming (ha ha)
Girl, don't wake me (you should love me, man)
Don't wake me, I'm dreaming
Girl, I'm dreaming 'bout you (come on)
[Outro: Christopher Williams (50 Cent)]
If I'm dreaming then just let me sleep
Don't wake me up 'till my dream is complete ('til my dream's complete)
If I'm dreaming then leave me alone (leave me alone)
Turn off the lights and unplug the phone
If I'm dreaming then just let me sleep (it was not me, man)
Don't wake me up 'till my dream is complete
(It was the educated brother from the bank.. oh my God!)
This dream is just, just you and me (I'm dreaming)
Come here, baby
