Many Men
50 Cent Lyrics

Man we gotta go get something to eat man
I'm really hungry and need to find some food.

Ay yo man, damn what's taking homie so long son?
Where is our friend and why is he taking so long to arrive?

50, calm down man, he comin'
Relax, our friend is on his way.

(Ah) Oh, what the fuck? (oh)
What is happening? Something unexpected is occurring.

Ah son, pull up, pull up
Someone needs to come to our location quickly.

Many men, wish death upon me
There are many people who want me to die.

Blood in my eye dawg and I can't see
I am blinded by the hatred others have towards me.

I'm trying to be what I'm destined to be
I am striving to achieve my calling in life.

And niggas trying to take my life away (c'mon)
There are individuals actively trying to end my life.

Put a hole in a nigga for fucking with me
I will retaliate with violence if someone threatens me.

My back on the wall, now you gon' see
I am in a difficult position, and everyone will now witness how I handle it.

Better watch how you talk, when you talk about me
People should be careful when speaking about me or risk facing consequences.

'Cause I'll come and take your life away
I am not afraid to use lethal force to protect myself.

Many men, many, many, many, many men
There are numerous individuals who dislike me.

Wish death 'pon me
These people hope for my demise.

Lord I don't cry no more
I am emotionally hardened and do not shed tears.

Don't look to the sky no more
I do not rely on divine intervention for my problems.

Have mercy on me
I hope for mercy and leniency from those who wish me harm.

Now these pussy niggas putting money on my head
People are offering rewards for information leading to my capture or death.

Go on and get your refund motherfucker, I ain't dead
Despite attempts made on my life, I am still alive and well.

I'm the diamond in the dirt, that ain't been found
I am a hidden talent that has not yet been discovered.

I'm the underground king and I ain't been crowned
I am a ruler within my community that has yet to receive recognition or acknowledgement.

When I rhyme, something special happen every time
My words have a profound impact on those who hear them.

I'm the greatest, something like Ali in his prime
I am a champion and possess the skills and talent to prove it.

I walk the block with the bundles
I frequent my neighborhood while carrying drugs.

I've been knocked on the humble
I have faced adversity and have been humbled by it.

Swing the ox when I rumble
I am not afraid to use weapons during confrontations.

Show your ass what my gun do
I will make an example out of you if you cross me.

Got a temper nigga, go 'head, lose your head
I have a short fuse and will gladly make you lose yours.

Turn your back on me, get clapped and lose your legs
If you betray me, I will retaliate with deadly force and harm you.

I walk around gun on my waist, chip on my shoulder
I am armed at all times and have a confrontational attitude.

Till I bust a clip in your face, pussy, this beef ain't over
I will not back down until I have fired a bullet in your face.

Have mercy on my soul
I hope for forgiveness and benevolence upon my passing.

Somewhere my heart turned cold
I have become hardened and emotionless as a result of my experiences.

Sunny days wouldn't be special, if it wasn't for rain
One would not appreciate good times without having experienced bad times.

Joy wouldn't feel so good, if it wasn't for pain
You cannot fully appreciate happiness without having gone through hardship.

Death gotta be easy 'cause life is hard
Living is difficult, so dying must be easier in comparison.

It'll leave you physically, mentally, and emotionally scarred
One's death will affect not just the physical body, but also the mind and emotions of others.

This is for my niggas on the block, twisting trees and cigars
This song is dedicated to my comrades who enjoy smoking marijuana and cigars in our neighborhood.

For the niggas on lock, doing life behind bars
This song is also for those imprisoned for life.

I don't say, "Only God can judge me" 'cause I see things clear
I do not believe that only God has the right to judge me, as I see things clearly and can judge myself accordingly.

Quick these crackers will give my black ass a hundred years
I recognize the racial bias within the criminal justice system and fear being punished severely for my actions.

I'm like Paulie in Goodfellas, you can call me the Don
I am similar to Paulie from the movie Goodfellas and am a leader and authority figure within my community.

Like Malcolm by any means, with my gun in my palm
I share Malcolm X's philosophy of achieving goals through any means necessary, including violence.

Slim switched sides on me, let niggas ride on me
One of my friends betrayed me and allowed others to harm me.

I thought we was cool, why you want me to die homie? (homie)
I trusted this friend and do not understand why they would want to harm me.

Every night I talk to God but he don't say nothing back
I pray to God for guidance and protection, but receive no responses.

I know he protecting me, but I still stay with my gat
I believe God is looking out for me, but I still carry a gun for protection.

In my nightmares, niggas keep pulling Tecs on me
I have recurring nightmares about being attacked with firearms.

Psychic says some bitch done put a hex on me
A psychic has advised me that someone has cursed or hexed me, causing my misfortunes.

The feds didn't know much, when Pac got shot
The federal government did not have much information regarding the murder of Tupac Shakur.

I got a kite from the pens that told me Tut got knocked
I received a letter from someone in prison that informed me that a mutual acquaintance was arrested.

I ain't gonna spell it out for you motherfuckers all the time
I will not always provide a detailed explanation for my actions.

Are you illiterate nigga? You can't read between the lines?
Do you lack the basic skills to understand my subtle messages?

In the bible it says, "What goes around, comes around"
The Bible teaches that one's actions will have consequences.

Almost shot me, three weeks later he got shot down
Someone attempted to kill me, but was later killed themselves.

Now it's clear that I'm here, for a real reason
I have a significant purpose for being alive and present in this world.

'Cause he got hit like I got hit, but he ain't fucking breathing (breathing)
The individual who attempted to harm me was later killed in a similar manner, but did not survive.
