Hail Mary
50 Cent Lyrics

Makaveli, rest in peace
Tupac Shakur, may you rest in peace

Irv Gotti, too much Bacardi in his body
Irv Gotti, consumed excessive Bacardi, impairing his judgment

Mouth like a 12 gauge shot it (feel me) (come get me)
Speaking with power and impact, challenging others to confront him

And Ja said he shall be (if you mothafuckers want Shady)
Ja Rule claimed he would take on Eminem's persona if they truly wanted a challenge

The lost begotten seed of 2Pac (if Pac was still here now)
Claiming to be the spiritual successor of Tupac Shakur had he not passed away

To lead this industry into the ways of the man (he would never ride with Ja)
Taking on the responsibility of guiding the music industry in a direction that Tupac would approve of, while distancing himself from Ja Rule

Follow me (na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
Follow my lead in creating meaningful music and making a difference

Keep my mesh vest as Pac's vest
Symbolically keeping Tupac's spirit and passion alive by wearing a similar vest

You ain't no killa, you a pussy
You are not a true gangster or tough, just a coward

That ecstasy done got you all emotional and mushy
The drug ecstasy has made you overly emotional and weak

Bitches wearin' rags in photos, Ja's words bein' quoted
Ja Rule's female fans imitating his style and lyrics

In The Source, stealin' Pac's shit like he just wrote it
Ja Rule plagiarizing Tupac's music and claiming it as his own in the magazine 'The Source'

You loud mouths pray to God, hopin no one's listenin'
Ja Rule and his supporters pretending to have faith, hoping no one sees their true intentions

See 50 comin' for me, oh my God ma, my position
Realizing that 50 Cent has become a powerful force in the industry and fearing the consequences

No one'll pay attention to me
Ja Rule feels irrelevant and ignored by the public

Please Gotti, here I go, give me this pill
Begging Irv Gotti for drugs to numb the pain and escape reality

Ecstasy done got me feelin' so invincible
Ecstasy has given him a false sense of power and invincibility

Now all of a sudden I'm a fuckin' mad man who screams
Under the influence of drugs, he has become aggressive and unpredictable

Like I'm Pac but I'm not, enemies, Hennessey
Trying to emulate Tupac's image and battles, fueled by alcohol

Actin' like I'm great, but I'm fake, I'm crazy
Putting on a facade of greatness, but deep down he knows he's not genuine and unstable

Sweat drip, get me off this trip, someone stop this train
Desiring to break free from the destructive path he's on and seeking help to stop his downward spiral

Some say my brain is all corrupted, fucked from this shit
Acknowledging that his drug use has damaged his mental state

I'm stuck, I'm addicted to these drugs, I'ma quit
Feeling trapped and addicted to drugs, but expressing a desire to quit

Sayin mothafucker's name's before somebody fucks me up
Using others' names in an attempt to provoke them into fighting him first

Ain't no pussies over here, partner, see you hell, fucker
Asserting that he is not weak or intimidated, daring his enemies to face the consequences

Get off that E
Encouraging someone to stop using ecstasy

Before you try to come and fuck with me
Warning others of the consequences if they try to confront or challenge him

It's Aftermath here now
Emphasizing that the record label Aftermath has arrived and taken control

Shady Records got it locked
Highlighting that Shady Records, Eminem's label, has a strong hold on the industry

Penitentiaries is packed with promise makers
Jails are filled with those who make empty promises and fail to follow through

Never realized the precious time them bitch niggas is wastin'
Criticizing individuals who waste their valuable time on empty endeavors

Institutionalize, my bitches bring me product by the bundles
Being locked up in jail hasn't stopped him from receiving illegal goods from his loyal female associates

Hustle hard from a cell, G-Unit, mothafucker, we ballin'
Despite being incarcerated, he and his crew, G-Unit, continue to thrive and succeed

Catch me count cheese and when I'm callin', can you accept my call?
Counting money and making important phone calls, challenging if the listener will answer his call from prison

C.O. let me sip on Hennessey, 'Can I sip some more?'
Prison guards allowing him to drink Hennessey, asking for permission to have more

Hell, I done been to jail, I ain't scared
Having previous experience in jail, he is not frightened by the prospect of incarceration

Mama checkin' in my bedroom, I ain't there
His mother looking for him in his room, but he is absent due to being in jail

I got a head with no screws in it
Implying that his mind is not functioning properly, lacking stability

Mothafuckers thinkin' they can stop 50, they losin' it
Those who believe they can hinder 50 Cent's success are delusional and misguided

Lil' nigga named Ja think he live like me
Ja Rule falsely believes he lives a similar lifestyle to 50 Cent

Talkin' 'bout he left the hospital, took 9 like me
Claiming to have survived being shot nine times like 50 Cent did

You live in fantasies, nigga, I reject your deposit
Your life is built on illusions and false claims, 50 Cent refuses to believe or accept them

When your lil' sweet ass gon' come out of the closet?
Challenging Ja Rule's sexuality and urging him to be honest about his true self

Now he wonderin' why DMX blowed him out
Ja Rule questioning why DMX publicly criticized and disregarded him

Next time grown folks talkin', bitch, close your mouth
Advising Ja Rule to stay silent when adults are having a discussion

Peep me, I take this war shit deeply
Observing 50 Cent's dedication and commitment to the ongoing conflict with Ja Rule

Done seen too many real niggas ballin' to let these bitch niggas beat me
Refusing to let inferior individuals overcome and defeat him, drawing inspiration from successful individuals

Black, you's a mothafuckin' punk and you can see me with gloves
Accusing Ja Rule of being a coward and challenging him to a physical fight

Quit scarin' them fuckin' kids with your ugly ass mug
Criticizing Ja Rule's appearance and how it frightens children

And you can tell them niggas you roll with whatever you want
Ja Rule can boast about his crew and their achievements as much as he wants

But you and I know what's goin' on
Both 50 Cent and Ja Rule are aware of the truth behind their rivalry

Nigga, payback, Tah, I know your bitch ass from way back
Promising Tah Murdah, a member of Murder Inc., that he will face consequences for his past actions

Witnessed me strapped with MACs, you know I don't play that
Remembering a time when Tah Murdah saw him armed with firearms, knowing that he is not one to be messed with

All these old rappers tryna advance
Referring to veteran rappers who attempt to regain relevance

It's all over now, take it like a man, haha
Their time is up, and they need to accept it with dignity

Irv lookin' like Larry Holmes, flabby and sick
Irv Gotti resembling boxer Larry Holmes, out of shape and unhealthy

Tryna player-hate on my shit, man, eat a fat dick
Irv Gotti attempting to undermine and criticize 50 Cent's success, dismissing his opinion

Lovin' this shit that's how you made me
50 Cent acknowledging that the adversity he faced has shaped him into the successful individual he is today

Feelin' like I got you niggas crazy (uh-huh)
Believing that he has driven his rivals, including Irv Gotti, to madness

Against all odds, hopin' my thug mothafuckers know
Despite facing numerous challenges, hoping his loyal supporters understand his true nature

This be the realest shit I ever wrote
Considering this song to be the most honest and genuine piece of music he has created

Against all odds, up in the studio gettin' blow
Despite the odds stacked against him, he persists in creating music while under the influence of drugs

To the truest shit I ever spoke
Considering these lyrics to be the most authentic and truthful words he has expressed

21 gun salute, bitch
A gun salute of respect and admiration for those who have passed away, signifying the end of the song

Ayo, I've been one of the most humble, rep the streets to the core
Claiming to possess great humility while representing and staying true to the streets

Ayy, Jeffrey, what the fuck you come involvin' me for?
Addressing Ja Rule by his real name, questioning why Ja Rule would involve himself in 50 Cent's affairs

It's been a long time comin' like a blessin' to a check you
50 Cent has been waiting for this confrontation with Ja Rule, viewing it as a necessary event

See 106 and Park fans don't even fuckin' respect you
Highlighting that even the fans of the TV show '106 & Park' have lost respect for Ja Rule

It's kinda funny, wannabe Pac, wanna fake like he thug
Mocking Ja Rule for attempting to be like Tupac Shakur and pretending to be a tough gangster

Runnin' around talkin' shit that he ain't capable of
Ja Rule boasting about things he is incapable of achieving or doing

Now let me off this cocksucker, watch me handle you, nigga
Eager to confront Ja Rule and demonstrate his superiority

If I recall, Violator used to manage you, nigga
Referencing how Ja Rule was previously managed by Violator, highlighting his decline since then

Then took a closer look and realized you was an impostor
Upon closer examination, it became apparent that Ja Rule was a fake and pretender

There's never been a Violator on a Murda Inc. roster
Stating that the record label Murder Inc. has never had a successful artist associated with Violator

Dumbass, now who shootin'? Ah, made you look
Mocking Ja Rule for falling for a trick, questioning who truly has control in the situation

You said Bus' singin' the same ol' hook, you stupid
Ja Rule criticizing Busta Rhymes' repetitive hooks, unaware that he is repeating his own mistakes

If y'all shootin', I take a look at your man, the bitch shot himself in front of Def Jam
If Ja Rule's crew is going after 50 Cent, he would focus on Irv Gotti, who embarrassingly shot himself in front of Def Jam Records

Cheddar Bob ass niggas, start adjustin' your plan
Referring to Irv Gotti as Cheddar Bob, a character from the film '8 Mile', advising him to change his strategy

You let the streets down, nigga, 'pologize to your fans
Accusing Ja Rule of disappointing his fanbase and demanding he apologize to them

Watch you pull a lil' stunt like we ain't know what it was
Anticipating Ja Rule's attempts at deception and manipulation, but seeing through his tricks

Lil' faggot, desperate, tryna re-establish a buzz
Disparaging Ja Rule, insinuating that he is desperate and attempting to regain popularity

I know the shit is drivin' you crazy you wonderin' how
Understanding that his success and resilience are causing Ja Rule to become increasingly frustrated and envious

The streets ain't never want you, Beatrice, what you gonna do now?
Implying that the streets have rejected Ja Rule and challenging him to figure out his next move

Now if you wanna beef with me, then I'm beefin' with you
Declaring that if Ja Rule wants to engage in a feud, 50 Cent will reciprocate

I think about the game and what its like and what would it be without you
Contemplating the impact and dynamics of the music industry, acknowledging Ja Rule's role in it

You finished, I ain't tryna repeat this
Asserting that Ja Rule's career is over, with no desire to engage in further conflict

Just 'cause I'm cool, shouldn't take my kindness for weakness (oh shit)
Warning others to not mistake his calm demeanor for vulnerability or lack of strength

It was fun
Expressing that the feud and confrontation with Ja Rule provided entertainment and amusement

Next time you got a problem, man
Instructing Ja Rule to address any future issues directly with him

Address me before you try to make shit a public issue, homie
Encouraging Ja Rule to communicate privately rather than resorting to public confrontations

Now I'ma return back to my regular self
Reverting to his usual persona and behavior

And have fun again
Looking forward to enjoying himself once more

One
Closing statement, signaling the end of the song
