Don't Push Me
50 Cent Lyrics

I need you to pray for me, and
I require spiritual support from you

I need you to care for me, and
I require emotional support from you

I need you to want me to win
I need your confidence in my success

I need to know where I'm headed, 'cause I know where I've been
I need a clear path for my future due to my past experiences

The flow is bone-crushin', it's nothin', I come up with somethin' (yeah)
The rap style is powerful, it's effortless, and I create new lyrics without much effort

Come through your strip frontin', stuntin'
I come to your area showing off my success and wealth

It's somethin' you want (uh-huh), 745 chrome spinners
The 745 car with shiny wheels is something that you desire

Haters hate that I'm winnin'
There are people who are jealous that I'm successful

Man, I've been hot from the beginnin' (drop that shit, woo)
I have been famous and successful from the very start

Motherfuckers envy the kid, control your jealousies
People are envious of my youth and success, and they should manage their jealousy

'Cause I can't control my temper, I'm finna catch a felony
Since I can not control my anger, I'm about to commit a major crime

Pistol in hand, homie, I'm down to get it poppin'
I am ready to shoot and engage in violence

Once I squeeze the first shot, you know I ain't stoppin'
I won't stop shooting until the gun is empty

'Til my clip is empty, I'm simply
I'll continue shooting until the magazine is empty, straightforwardly

Not that nigga you should try your luck with or fuck with
You shouldn't challenge or mess with me

Hollow-tip shells, you're struck with
I'm shooting you with bullets that expand upon impact

Your bones broken, guns smokin', still loc-in'
I'll break your bones, and my gun will still be in action

What, nigga? Lay your ass down, paramedics get you up feelin'
I shoot you to the ground, EMS take your pulse later

Right now, I'm on the edge, so don't push me
At the moment, I'm close to losing my temper, and you shouldn't provoke me

I aim straight for your head, so don't push me
If you prompt me, I'll target and shoot at your head

Fill your ass up with lead, so don't push me
Behave or else you'll get filled with bullets

I got somethin' for your ass, keep thinkin' I'm pussy
You'll retaliate if you believe I'm weak

I done lost my bigger nigga and I didn't cry
I've lost a significant figure in my life, and I didn't shed a tear

Too young to understand the consequences of a man
I was too inexperienced to know the outcomes of man's actions

Livin' a lie, I gotta get that money
I conformed to the societal norm of earning money

I'll be damned if I'm bummy
I refuse to live and dress like an unemployed person

Gotta watch my back around these niggas, 'cause they funny
I need to be careful around suspicious people

Twenty years of watchin' my mama's tears
For two decades, I have seen my mother weeping

Got my heated, heavily weeded
Marijuana helps me stay calm and composed

Smokin' that bomb, 'cause I need it
I smoke weed to relax because I want it

These niggas don't want me ballin', they want me buried
Those people do not want to see me successful, but they want me to die

Bogged in the dirt from shots flurried
Dead on the ground after bullets rained down on me

Layin' with bugs all on my shirt
My dead body is covered with insects

I got plans to hop up in that Hummer
I have plans to drive and show off with that Hummer brand car

'Cause I'm a stunner, I sit back and wonder
Since I'm young and famous, I flaunt it and wonder how it happened

When them angels gonna call my number, under
I'm curious about when I'll die

My chest is a heart of a lion
I exhibit great courage and bravery

I ain't lyin', bounty hunters got me flyin'
I'm continuously altering my way of life to escape from my bounty hunters' sight

With my iron, high as a giant
Carrying a gun makes me feel confident and unbeatable

I'm runnin' from nothin', my stomach is touchin'
I'm not running from anything, but I'm hungry

What I'm clutchin''ll give you more than a concussion
My weapon is strong enough to cause extensive damage on your head

End of discussion
This matter is closed; there is nothing else to say

My blood is colder, so I'm bolder
I'm much braver since I became desensitized to violence and death

Hennessy and soda, hood on my shoulder
I'm drinking Hennessy and soda while walking, looking like a thug

Look in the mirror, I see a soldier
When I see my reflection in the mirror, I envision myself as a soldier

These are my ideas, this is my sweat and tears
The lyrics in this song are my creativity, struggle, and hard work

This is shit that I saw with my eyeballs, my ears
These lyrics are my personal experiences witnessed with my senses

This is me who's gotta be what you see on TV
In public appearances, I behave as the image presented on television

What you hear on CD, what appears easy
What listeners hear on a music album may seem effortless to produce

Man these teeny boppers see me on these magazine covers
These adolescents only see me on magazine covers

In these beanies and these rags, livin' fantasies
In these casual and inexpensive clothes, living a make-believe lifestyle

Frontin' like it's all fun and games 'til the shoot 'em up, bang
Acting like life's a joke until one gets shot and left for dead

And you see your brains hang, and you see we ain't playin'
Seeing someone's brain spilled out confirms we are not playing

Ain't sayin' we ain't layin' down at night and ain't prayin'
We also pray and hope for good things to happen in life

I bullied my way in this game, man, I'm done playin'
I forcefully established myself in the music scene, and now I'm done pretending

Man, I'm done sayin' that I'm done playin'
I'm no longer saying that I'm done pretending

I'mma start layin' into these motherfuckin' cocksuckers
I'm gonna start cursing at and confronting these hateful people

There's no way I'ma back down like a god damn coward
I'm never going to retreat like a coward

I can't, how would I look as a man bowin' to his knees?
If I yield, I'll appear weak and dishonorable

Like the mad cow disease, let somebody lash out at me
Just like how cows react to disease, I'll react when someone lashes out at me

And not lash back out at 'em, please
Instead, I'll retaliate strongly

Oh, whoa, yo, ho, hold up, oh no, not me, not Marshall
Wait, don't mess with me, I'm not playing; I'm Marshall Mathers

You wanna see Marshall? I'll show you Marshall
Do you want to encounter the true Marshall Mathers? Here I am

I try to show you art, but you just pick it apart
I attempt to demonstrate my musical talent, but people merely criticize it

So I see I have to start, showin' you fuckin' old farts
Since you all don't understand, I have to cater to my younger audience

A whole other side I wanted to not show you
I didn't want to reveal my other side to the audience

So you know you're not dealin' with some fuckin' marshmallow
Keep in mind that I'm not a weak or cowardly person

Little soft yellow, punk pussy, whose heart's Jello 'cause
I am not a cowardly person; my heart is steadfast

Shady Aftermath, nigga, G-Unit
This is Shady Aftermath and G-Unit, two rap labels dominating this genre

Rap juggernauts of this shit, we takin' over
We are influential and dominant in this rap industry, so watch out
