Many Men
Fifty cents ( 50 Cent) Lyrics

Many men wish death upon me
There are many people who want to see me dead.

Blood in my eye dog and I can't see
I am blinded and cannot see anything clearly.

I'm trying to be what I'm destined to be
I am striving to fulfill my destiny and reach my potential.

And niggas trying to take my life away
There are people who are attempting to end my life.

I put a hole in nigga for fucking with me
I will retaliate against anyone who messes with me.

My back on the wall, now you gon' see
I'm backed into a corner, and now you'll witness what I'm capable of.

Better watch how you talk, when you talk about me
You should be careful of what you say about me.

'Cause I'll come and take your life away
I will not hesitate to end the life of anyone who crosses me.

Many men, many, many, many, many men
There are numerous people who want to see me dead.

Lord I don't cry no more
I have become hardened and no longer show signs of weakness.

Don't look to the sky no more
I am no longer seeking help from a higher power.

Have mercy on me
I am requesting for mercy to be shown to me.

Now these pussy niggas putting money on my head
Cowards are now offering a reward for my life.

Go on and get your refund motherfucker, I ain't dead
You can cancel the reward, because I am still alive.

I'm the diamond in the dirt, that ain't been found
I am a rare and valuable gem that has not yet been discovered.

I'm the underground king and I ain't been crowned
I am the ruler of the streets, yet I have not been officially recognized.

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 the best at what I do, like Ali was at boxing.

I walk the block with the bundles
I am often seen on the streets with illegal drugs.

I've been knocked on the humble
I have been humbled by difficult situations.

Swing the ox when I rumble
I am not afraid to use my weapon in a fight.

Show your ass what my gun do
I will make an example out of anyone who tries to challenge me.

Got a temper nigga, go 'head, lose your head
I have a short fuse, and if you cross me, you will regret it.

Turn your back on me, get clapped and lose your legs
If you betray me, you will suffer the consequences.

I walk around gun on waist, chip on my shoulder
I am constantly armed and have a confrontational attitude towards others.

Till I bust a clip in your face, pussy, this beef ain't over
I will continue to retaliate against you until I have the upper hand in this conflict.

Have mercy on my soul
I am pleading for forgiveness and leniency in the afterlife.

Somewhere my heart turned cold
I have become emotionally numb and hardened due to the hardships of life.

Sunny days wouldn't be special, if it wasn't for rain
You wouldn't appreciate the good times without also experiencing the bad times.

Joy wouldn't feel so good, if it wasn't for pain
The feeling of happiness is made even more powerful by the experience of suffering.

Death gotta be easy, 'cause life is hard
Death might seem preferable to a difficult life.

It'll leave you physically, mentally, and emotionally scarred
The effects of a tough life can be seen on the body, mind, and soul.

This if for my niggas on the block, twisting trees and cigars
This song is dedicated to my friends on the streets smoking weed and cigars.

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

I don't see only god can judge me, 'cause I see things clear
I don't believe that only God can judge me because I have a clear understanding of my actions and their consequences.

Quick these crackers will give my black ass a hundred years
It is unjust how quickly white authority figures can lock up black people for long prison sentences.

I'm like Paulie in Goodfellas, you can call me the Don
I am like Paulie, the leader of the mafia family in the movie Goodfellas, and you can call me the boss.

Like Malcolm by any means, with my gun in my palm
I am like Malcolm X, willing to do whatever it takes to achieve my goals, including using violence.

Slim switched sides on me, let niggas ride on me
My former friend Slim betrayed me and allowed others to attack me.

I thought we was cool, why you want me to die homie?
I believed that Slim was my friend and did not understand why he would want to see me dead.

Every night I talk to god, but he don't say nothing back
I try to pray for guidance and protection, but sometimes it feels like no one is listening.

I know he protecting me, but I still stay with my gat
Even though I believe God is protecting me, I still carry my gun for my own safety.

In my nightmares, niggas keep pulling techs on me
In my dreams, I am constantly being attacked by people with guns.

Psych says some bitch dumb, put a hex on me
Someone has placed a curse on me, according to my psychiatrist.

The feds didn't know much, when Pac got shot
The authorities did not have a good understanding of the events surrounding the death of Tupac Shakur.

I got a kite from the pens that told me, Tuck got knocked
I received a letter from someone in prison that informed me that Tuck had been arrested.

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

Are you illiterate nigga? You can't read between the lines
You must be stupid if you can't understand the hidden meaning behind what I am saying.

In the bible it says, what goes around, comes around
According to the Bible, you will face consequences for your actions.

Almost shot me, three weeks later he got shot down
Someone who nearly killed me was later murdered themselves.

Now it's clear that I'm here, for a real reason
It is now obvious that I exist for a specific purpose.

'Cause he got hit like I got hit, but he ain't fucking breathing
He was shot like I was, but unlike me, he did not survive.
