21 Questions Version )
50 Cent Lyrics

New York City!
The song is beginning, and it's all about 50 Cent's New York City roots.

You are now rapping, with 50 Cent
The focus switches to 50 Cent as a rapper, and the listener is drawn in.

You gotta love it,
This is an invitation to embrace the upcoming track.

I just wanna chill and twist a lot
50 Cent wants to relax and smoke some weed.

Catch suns in my 7-45
This refers to cruising around in a convertible car in the sunshine.

You drive me crazy shorty I
50 Cent is into a girl who drives him wild.

Need to see you and feel you next to me
He needs her physical presence to be truly satisfied.

I provide everything you need and I
He can give her everything she needs.

Like your smile I don't wanna see you cry
He wants her to stay happy.

Got some questions that I got to ask and I
But he needs to know if she'll stick with him through thick and thin.

Hope you can come up with the answers babe
He's looking for honesty and fidelity in her responses.

[Chorus]
The chorus reiterates his queries regarding her commitment to him.

If I fell off tomorrow would you still love me?
Would she stick with him if he had nothing to offer financially?

If I didn't smell so good would you still hug me?
Would she be attracted to him even if his hygiene wasn't on point?

If I got locked up and sentenced to a quarter century,
Would she be committed enough to stay with him for the twenty-five years of his sentence?

Could I count on you to be there to support me mentally?
Could he rely on her emotional support through the ordeal of incarceration?

If I went back to a hoopty from a Benz, would you poof and disappear like some of my friends?
Would she leave him if he lost his car and money, like others may have done?

If I was hit and I was hurt would you be by my side?
Would she be there for him if he was injured?

If it was time to put in work would you be down to ride?
Would she support him through any difficult and dangerous work he had to do?

I'd get out and peel a nigga cap and chill and drive
He would retaliate against anyone who sought to harm them.

I'm asking questions to find out how you feel inside
The questions are meant to reveal how she truly feels about their relationship.

If I ain't rap 'cause I flipped burgers at Burger King
Would she be embarrassed to say she was with him if he wasn't a successful rapper, but instead worked a humble job?

Would you be ashamed to tell your friends you feelin' me?
Would she be willing to be with him even if it wasn't seen as cool to her friends?

In the bed if I used my tongue would you like that?
This is an intimate and flirtatious line.

If I wrote you a love letter would you write back?
Would she reciprocate his affections, or leave him hanging?

Now we can have a lil' drink you know a nightcap
He is offering her a drink to relax and spend more time together.

And we could go do what you like, I know you like that
He wants to cater to her desires and make sure she's happy.

Now would you leave me if you're father found out I was thuggin'?
Would she break up with him if her dad disapproved of his dangerous lifestyle?

Do you believe me when I tell you, you the one I'm loving?
He's asking if she believes that he truly loves her.

Are you mad 'cause I'm asking you 21 questions?
He's acknowledging that he's asking a lot of questions, and wondering if it's bothering her.

Are you my soul mate? 'Cause if so, girl you a blessing
He wonders if they are truly meant to be together for life, and says it would be a wonderful thing if that was the case.

Do you trust me enough, to tell me your dreams?
He's hoping she values him enough to open up about her most personal desires and aspirations.

I'm staring at ya' trying to figure how you got in them jeans
This is a playful line, implying that he loves what he sees and is mildly bemused by it.

If I was down would you say things to make me smile?
He wants to be with someone who is supportive even when things aren't going well.

I treat you how you want to be treated just teach me how
He's eager to become the partner she wants and needs, and is willing to learn and grow together.

If I was with some other chick and someone happened to see?
This is a hypothetical scenario in which he's unfaithful, and he's asking what she would do if someone found out.

And when you asked me about it I said it wasn't me
This is additional detail for the above scenario, where he's blaming the whole situation on someone else.

Would you believe me? Or up and leave me?
He wants to know if she would believe his lie, or if she's the type of person to leave if she has doubts.

How deep is our bond if that's all it takes for you to be gone?
He's wondering how strong their relationship is, and questioning whether one mistake could break it apart.

We only humans girl we make mistakes, to make it up I do whatever it take
He's acknowledging that they both make mistakes, but is willing to do whatever it takes to fix things.

I love you like a fat kid loves cake
This is a simile that expresses just how much he loves her.

You know my style I say anything to make you smile
He's confident that he can put a grin on her face with his jokes and charm.

[Chorus]
The chorus reiterates his longing to know if she would still be with him through tough times.

Could you love me in a Bentley?
He's asking if her love is based on material possessions.

Could you love me on a bus?
He's contrasting the previous question, asking if she can love him without the trappings of wealth.

I'll ask 21 questions, and they all about us
This is a catchy refrain that reminds us of the song's theme: exploring the strength of their relationship.
