Many Men Song Lyrics :

 

Man we gotta go get something to eat man
I’m hungry as a motherfucker

Hey yo man, damn what’s taking homie so long son?

50, calm down, here he come

What the fuck!?

Son, pull up! pull up!

Many men, wish death upon me
Blood in my eye dog and I can’t see
I’m trying to be what I’m destined to be
And niggas trying to take my life away
I put a hole in nigga for fucking with me
My back on the wall, now you gon’ see
Better watch how you talk, when you talk about me
‘Cause I’ll come and take your life away

Many men, many, many, many, many men
Wish death ‘pon me
Lord I don’t cry no more
Don’t look to the sky no more
Have mercy on me

Now these pussy niggas putting money on my head
Go on and get your refund motherfucker, I ain’t dead
I’m the diamond in the dirt, that ain’t been found
I’m the underground king and I ain’t been crowned
When I rhyme, something special happen every time
I’m the greatest, something like Ali in his prime
I walk the block with the bundles
I’ve been knocked on the humble
Swing the ox when I rumble
Show your ass what my gun do
Got a temper nigga, go ‘head, lose your head
Turn your back on me, get clapped and lose your legs
I walk around gun on waist, chip on my shoulder
Till I bust a clip in your face, pussy, this beef ain’t over

Many men, many, many, many, many men
Wish death ‘pon me
Lord I don’t cry no more
Don’t look to the sky no more
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on my soul
Somewhere my heart turned cold
Have mercy on many men
Many, many, many, many men
Wish death upon me

Sunny days wouldn’t be special, if it wasn’t for rain
Joy wouldn’t feel so good, if it wasn’t for pain
Death gotta be easy, ’cause life is hard
It’ll leave you physically, mentally, and emotionally scarred
This if for my niggas on the block, twisting trees and cigars
For the niggas on lock, doing life behind bars
I don’t see only god can judge me, ’cause I see things clear
Quick these crackers will give my black ass a hundred years
I’m like Paulie in Goodfellas, you can call me the Don
Like Malcolm by any means, with my gun in my palm
Slim switched sides on me, let niggas ride on me
I thought we was cool, why you want me to die homie?

Many men, many, many, many, many men
Wish death ‘pon me
Lord I don’t cry no more
Don’t look to the sky no more
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on my soul
Somewhere my heart turned cold
Have mercy on many men
Many, many, many, many men
Wish death upon me

Every night I talk to god, but he don’t say nothing back
I know he protecting me, but I still stay with my gat
In my nightmares, niggas keep pulling techs on me
Psych says some bitch dumb, put a hex on me
The feds didn’t know much, when Pac got shot
I got a kite from the pens that told me, Tuck got knocked
I ain’t gonna spell it out for you motherfuckers all the time
Are you illiterate nigga? You can’t read between the lines
In the bible it says, what goes around, comes around
Almost shot me, three weeks later he got shot down
Now it’s clear that I’m here, for a real reason
‘Cause he got hit like I got hit, but he ain’t fucking breathing

Many men, many, many, many, many men
Wish death ‘pon me
Lord I don’t cry no more
Don’t look to the sky no more
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on my soul
Somewhere my heart turned cold
Have mercy on many men
Many, many, many, many men
Wish death upon me

About 50 Cent :

Born on July 6, 1975, Curtis James Jackson III, better known by his stage name 50 Cent, is an American rapper, actor, television producer, and businessman. Born in the Queens area of South Jamaica, Jackson started his musical career in 1996. He recorded his “debut” album, Power of the Dollar, for Columbia Records in 1999–2000.

However, after a shooting incident in May 2000, he was hit by nine bullets, which resulted in the cancellation of the album’s release and Jackson’s dismissal from the company. After hearing his mixtape Guess Who’s Back? in 2002, Detroit artist Eminem signed Jackson to his company Shady Records, which was an imprint of Interscope Records and Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment.

Get Rich or Die Tryin’ (2003), his first studio album, was released to Both critical and financial success. Reaching its highest point on the Billboard 200, it gave rise to two number one hits on the Billboard Hot 100: “In da Club” and “21 Questions” (with Nate Dogg). The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified it as nonuple platinum.

In the same year, he started G-Unit Records, a record company named after a hip-hop group he had founded two years before. The label’s first signees were fellow East Coast rappers Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks. Similar success followed his second album, The Massacre (2005), which was bolstered by his third number-one song, “Candy Shop” (with Olivia). His third and fourth albums, Curtis (2007) and Before I Self Destruct (2009), both drew criticism and praise for his lighter, more commercially focused style.

business downturns—and with his fifth album, Animal Ambition (2014), sought to go back to his origins. Since then, he has concentrated on his work in media and television. He has starred and executive produced the series Power (2014–2020) and all of its spin-offs under the banner of G-Unit Films and Television Inc.

In addition to winning multiple accolades, such as a Grammy, a Primetime Emmy, thirteen Billboard Music Awards, six World Music Awards, three American Music Awards, and four BET Awards, Jackson has sold over 30 million albums worldwide. Jackson made his acting debut in the critically panned semi-autobiographical film Get Rich or Die Tryin’ (2005).

Additionally, he starred in the crime thriller Home of the Brave (2006) and the war movie Righteous Kill, 2008. Jackson was considered the sixth best musician of the 2000s decade by Billboard, which placed him 17th on their list of the “50 Greatest Rappers” in 2023. In their lists of the “100 Best Songs of the 2000s” and “100 Best Albums of the 2000s,” Rolling Stone placed “In da Club” and “Get Rich or Die Tryin'” at number thirteen and 37, respectively.

Jackson’s mother Sabrina reared him in the South Jamaica section of Queens, New York City, when he was born. Jackson was raised by drug dealer Sabrina, who passed away in a fire when Jackson was eight years old. Jackson disclosed that his mother was a lesbian during an interview. Jackson was raised by his grandparents following the passing of both his parents.

Around the age of eleven, he started boxing, and at fourteen, a neighbor opened a boxing facility for young people in the area. “When I wasn’t killing time in school, I was sparring in the gym or selling crack on the strip,” Jackson recalled. He was a crack dealer in elementary school. Hip-hop is competitive, and I was competitive in the ring.

Rappers, in my opinion, train themselves similarly to boxers, so they all have a sense of winning.”

Jackson started peddling drugs at the age of twelve, bringing firearms and drug money to school since his grandparents believed he was enrolled in after-school programs. He was discovered by Andrew Jackson High School’s metal detectors in the ninth grade. “I was humiliated that I got arrested like that… Upon my arrest, I ceased to conceal it. I was [openly] telling my granny that I am a drug dealer.”

Jackson was taken into custody on June 29, 1994, after he sold an undercover police officer four vials of cocaine. Three weeks later, he was arrested once more after heroin, ten ounces of crack cocaine, and a starter gun were discovered during a home search. Nevertheless, Jackson completed his GED program, spent six months in a boot camp, and received a sentence of three to nine years in prison. He has declared that he was not a cocaine user.

Jackson took on the moniker “50 Cent” as a symbol of transformation. Jackson picked the name “because it says everything I want it to say,” drawing inspiration from Kelvin Martin, a robber from Brooklyn who was well-known as “50 Cent” in the 1980s. I am the same individual that 50 Cent was. I take care of myself in any way possible.”
