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]
I really hate havin' to resort to knockin' elderly people
in the head for their money
But I do it, I do it
Yea, you know I do it
I'll do it, I'll do it
Yep, you know I'll do it
I like gettin' high
[50 Cent - Chorus (+Kidd Kidd)]
I roll the shit, I smoke the shit
(Nigga I'm high as a motherfucker)
I roll the shit, I smoke the shit
(Ain't not a nigga brother come tell me nothin')
I roll the shit, I smoke the shit
(I'll make your bitch come smoke with me)
I roll the shit, I smoke the shit
(That's why you bitch gon roll with me)
[50 Cent - Bridge]
Get in the coop and got no top
It's high but I'm checkin' my AP
If I shine let's room
Bitch you wanna roll?
Nigga, you must be crazy
I roll the shit, I smoke the shit
I roll the shit, I smoke the shit
[50 Cent - Verse 1]
This demon shady, look what you done did
Made a south side nigga get a bucket full of bread
Got that Bentley moves and they maxed that boat
Base of the city if they matched that dope
Cush same color that match coke
I'm chin chillin', mo' spillin'
Done poppin', party rockin'
My bit knockin', your bitch watchin'
My feds clockin' my shit
Threw a grand a piece on all of my kids
Get your ass whip, you step in my shit
Nigga you blink ?em all in yo bitch
Put it in the club, she took it on 3
Jack up in them bitch, jack I come quick
This pimp shit, break a paper hall bitch
That shit fake, automas don't fake
1 million dollars, what is this shit?
I'm confused, it's bail I'm gon get
I'mma mash that there with my head
Instead of fell off, I snap right back
Nigga, my money get 50, no set
Gotta move your head low, dunk on yo face
Tryna count mine, I'm walkin' up in the boat
Better have a pound if you niggas wanna smoke
[50 Cent - Chorus (+Kidd Kidd)]
I roll the shit, I smoke the shit
(Nigga I'm high as a motherfucker)
I roll the shit, I smoke the shit
(Ain't not a nigga brother come tell me nothin')
I roll the shit, I smoke the shit
(I'll make your bitch come smoke with me)
I roll the shit, I smoke the shit
(That's why you bitch gon roll with me)

Get in the coop and got no top

If I shine let's room
Bitch you wanna roll?
Nigga, you must be crazy
I roll the shit, I smoke the shit

[Kidd Kidd - Verse 2 (+50 Cent]
50 Cent, look what you damn did
Took a '94 nigga from the hood, made him be
Everyone wanna care for the kiki
They tripped, slipped and fell on my dick
Gimme brain like I ain't got no sense
I got change, dollars and no cents
I got rich, they ain't seen me since
Knives out, start to trim their teeth
Bucked up in that brand new Benz
All of a sudden I've got brand new friends
Brand new chopper, bitch go blocka
Prr like I just broke wind
(I roll the shit, I smoke the shit)
I forgot she was in my bed
(I roll the shit, I smoke the shit)
Damn, I blew through all my bread
That Lambo ain't got no top
Man, I'm havin' this toe top
Rida Gang, we on top
And we live in the smoke out
Eyes low but I'm so high
Don't ask me, I don't know why
I roll the shitty and I smoke the shitty
If I don't pass the shit don't aks me shit ah
[50 Cent - Chorus (+Kidd Kidd)]
I roll the shit, I smoke the shit
(Nigga I'm high as a motherfucker)
I roll the shit, I smoke the shit
(Ain't not a nigga brother come tell me nothin')
I roll the shit, I smoke the shit
(I'll make your bitch come smoke with me)
I roll the shit, I smoke the shit
(That's why you bitch gon roll with me)
