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]
Can't believe this, man
This fat nigga talkin' 'bout how he wan' fight
I'll fuck yo ass up, Joe
[Verse 1: 50 Cent]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I started out with more than a dollar and a dream
Three and half grams and the pistol, nah'mean?
Ya'll niggas know me, mane, I don't give a fuck
From day one a nigga just trynna come up
Rings on my mama table, cups never in the coaster
Trigger finger soaked, pistol never in the holster
Five hundred grams, gem stars get to choppin'
.38 special with the grip, get to poppin'
My lifestyle is impeccable, I haunt you niggas
Such a fat ass lie, now I'm on you, nigga
You turn on your TV you see me on the screen
You doze off, fat fuck, see me in your dreams
If I don't see you with the scope I'mma see you with the beam
And when you see the yellow tape, you can see the crime scene
You can mark, see the spot, then you know what I mean
In the day or in the dark, I put that work in, B
[Chorus: 50 Cent]
I'm on it like that, living like that, you made me like that
Pussy fat nigga fucking with me
I roll with the strap, sip on the yak, watch your back
Pussy boy really fucking with me
[Verse 2: Lloyd Banks]
Louis Cotton can't stand a stand up nigga
You gettin' money, get your hands up, nigga
Go figure
Figure out a way to get you home
They swagger jacking so I switch cologne
Use a different tone or get hit with chrome
You ain't touching me, no way, José, holmes
Throw shots, you gon' pay for 'em
Name Banks, the PLK
Handle my BI the DL way, go play
[Chorus: 50 Cent]
I'm on it like that, living like that, you made me like that
Pussy fat nigga fucking with me
I roll with the strap, sip on the yak, watch your back
Pussy boy really fucking with me
[Verse 3: Tony Yayo]
Rap is like wresting, everything is fake
But it's a good pussy-getter and the cash is great
The rap game, the grim reaper Koya
Lil niggas like Game think they Ultimate Warrior
Fat niggas like Joe think they Andre The Giant
I put my Ruger in his face, his fat ass will be quiet
Jay, million dollar man, Nasty Nas is virtue
Nigga, try me at a show and my goons will murk you
Brraat
[Chorus: 50 Cent]
I'm on it like that, living like that, you made me like that
Pussy fat nigga fucking with me
I roll with the strap, sip on the yak, watch your back
Pussy boy really fucking with me
[Verse 4: Young Buck]
Charlie got a string on it, gauge got a beam on it
Niggas tell me he ain't want it
I'mma hit him up anyway, ok-k
Tijuana, having meetings with my esés
Burritos and kilos, I get it back the next day
Buck, he gon' wrap a nigga wife tonight
Anything is possible if the price is right
She want the nigga to own that big home you renting
Hope the nigga get you the little money you getting
Motherfucker
[Chorus: 50 Cent]
I'm on it like that, living like that, you made me like that
Pussy fat nigga fucking with me
I roll with the strap, sip on the yak, watch your back
Pussy boy really fucking with me
