Many Men
50 Cent Feat 2Pac Lyrics

Man we gotta go get something to eat man
I'm absolutely starving right now, bro. Let's grab some food.

Ay yo man, damn what's taking homie so long son?
What's the hold up with our friend, man? I'm getting impatient.

50, calm down man, he comin'
Don't worry, 50, our friend is on his way. Stay calm.

(Ah) Oh, what the fuck? (oh)
What's happening now? Oh my god, what's going on?

Many men, wish death upon me
There are a lot of people out there who want me dead.

Blood in my eye dawg and I can't see
I've been injured and can't see clearly because there's blood in my eye.

I'm trying to be what I'm destined to be
I'm trying to live up to my potential and fulfill my purpose.

And niggas trying to take my life away (c'mon)
There are people who are actively trying to kill me.

Put a hole in a nigga for fucking with me
I'll kill anyone who messes with me or tries to harm me.

My back on the wall, now you gon' see
I'm feeling trapped and cornered, and now you'll witness how I respond.

Better watch how you talk, when you talk about me
Be careful about what you say about me, because I will retaliate.

'Cause I'll come and take your life away
If you cross me, I won't hesitate to end your life.

Many men, many, many, many, many men
There are a lot of people who wish me dead.

Lord I don't cry no more
I'm done shedding tears over my struggles and hardships.

Don't look to the sky no more
I don't pray or look to a higher power for help anymore.

Have mercy on me
I'm hoping for some compassion and kindness from others.

Now these pussy niggas putting money on my head
Some weak individuals have placed a bounty on my life.

Go on and get your refund motherfucker, I ain't dead
Whoever put a reward on my head will be disappointed, because I'm still alive and well.

I'm the diamond in the dirt, that ain't been found
I'm a hidden gem that hasn't been discovered yet.

I'm the underground king and I ain't been crowned
I'm a ruler of the underground scene, but I haven't received proper recognition yet.

When I rhyme, something special happen every time
I have a talent for creating something extraordinary every time I make music.

I'm the greatest, something like Ali in his prime
I consider myself to be the best, much like Muhammad Ali in his prime.

I walk the block with the bundles
I roam the streets with my drugs.

I've been knocked on the humble
I've experienced some setbacks and have become more modest because of them.

Swing the ox when I rumble
I fight fiercely and unrelentingly.

Show your ass what my gun do
I'll demonstrate the power of my firearm if you test me.

Got a temper nigga, go 'head, lose your head
I have a short fuse, so go ahead and try me if you want to lose your life.

Turn your back on me, get clapped and lose your legs
If you betray me, I'll retaliate by shooting you and leaving you paralyzed.

I walk around gun on my waist, chip on my shoulder
I'm always armed and ready for any situation, and I have an attitude of defensiveness and defiance.

Till I bust a clip in your face, pussy, this beef ain't over
I won't stop fighting until I've killed you, so don't even think about ending our feud prematurely.

Many men, many, many, many, many men
There are a lot of people who want me dead, repeatedly mentioned for emphasis.

Lord I don't cry no more
Reiterated from earlier, signifying a sense of detachment and numbness.

Don't look to the sky no more
Also reiterated from earlier, showing a lack of faith or hope.

Have mercy on my soul
I'm hoping for forgiveness and redemption for my past actions.

Somewhere my heart turned cold
I've become desensitized and emotionally detached from others.

Sunny days wouldn't be special, if it wasn't for rain
Good times wouldn't be as meaningful if it weren't for the tough times that came before them.

Joy wouldn't feel so good, if it wasn't for pain
Happiness wouldn't be as satisfying if it weren't for the sadness that came before it.

Death gotta be easy 'cause life is hard
Death might seem like a welcome escape because life is so difficult and painful.

It'll leave you physically, mentally, and emotionally scarred
Death might end your physical suffering, but it will also leave behind lasting emotional and mental wounds for those left behind.

This is for my niggas on the block, twisting trees and cigars
This song is dedicated to my friends and associates who sell drugs on the street corner.

For the niggas on lock, doing life behind bars
This song is also for my friends who are currently serving lengthy prison sentences.

I don't say, "Only God can judge me" 'cause I see things clear
I don't rely on the idea that only God can judge me, because I have a clear understanding of my own actions and their consequences.

Quick these crackers will give my black ass a hundred years
The justice system is biased against black people, and I could easily end up with a lengthy prison sentence if I'm not careful.

I'm like Paulie in Goodfellas, you can call me the Don
I'm a powerful figure in my community, and I have a lot of respect and influence.

Like Malcolm by any means, with my gun in my palm
I'm willing to do whatever it takes to protect myself and those I care about, just like Malcolm X.

Slim switched sides on me, let niggas ride on me
A former friend named Slim betrayed me and allowed others to harm me.

I thought we was cool, why you want me to die homie? (homie)
I thought Slim and I were friends, so I'm confused as to why he would want me dead now.

Every night I talk to God but he don't say nothing back
I pray regularly, but I feel like God isn't listening or responding to me.

I know he protecting me, but I still stay with my gat
Even though I trust that God is protecting me, I still carry my gun for added protection.

In my nightmares, niggas keep pulling Tecs on me
I have recurring nightmares about people threatening me with guns.

Psychic says some bitch done put a hex on me
I've been told by a psychic that someone has put a curse on me, causing my misfortunes and bad luck.

The feds didn't know much, when Pac got shot
The authorities didn't have a lot of information about the shooting of rapper 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 someone named Tut was arrested for Tupac's shooting.

I ain't gonna spell it out for you motherfuckers all the time
I'm not going to explain everything to you idiots every single time.

Are you illiterate nigga? You can't read between the lines?
Are you stupid? Can't you understand what I'm trying to say without me spelling everything out for you?

In the bible it says, "What goes around, comes around"
The Bible teaches that your actions will have consequences, either positive or negative.

Almost shot me, three weeks later he got shot down
Someone almost killed me, but just a few weeks later, that person was killed themselves.

Now it's clear that I'm here, for a real reason
I'm confident that I'm alive for a specific purpose, and I'm determined to fulfill it.

'Cause he got hit like I got hit, but he ain't fucking breathing (breathing)
I was shot and injured, but this person who tried to kill me also ended up being shot and killed themselves.
