Poem
When I was 11 years old I wanted to be 50 Cent I was G-Unit obsessed and it annoyed all of my friends My walls were covered in 50 posters, I thought he was the greatest guy to ever live When I was 11 years old I wanted to be 50 cent, but didn't every kid? I remember listening to get rich or die trying for the first time In love with the pain, passion and anger when he makes words rhyme Social workers and care staff told me he was too violent But when Many men came on, I turned it up and told them to be quiet Listening to him made me stop thinking about if my parents missed me I went back and listened to power of the dollar, gods plan, 50 is the future and no mercy no fear I was just an eleven year old kid who wanted to be just like Fifty Then a few months later G-Unit's album beg for mercy was here I brought it the day it came out and played it non stop Social workers hated that I was so obsessed with Hip-Hop They told me i shouldn't listen to such things I replied maybe I wouldn't need Hip-Hop if my dad ever gave me a ring My dad couldn't even pick the phone up and you moan about my music choices? I guess they were scared because rappers give kids, voices Hip-Hop gets a lot of hate but it can change lives Isn't it funny how fickle kids are, because when 50 and game Fell out, I took Game's side From 11 to 13 all I wanted was to be like fifty cent I knew my G-Unit obsession annoyed all of my friends But the lyrics in songs stopped some of my scars bleeding When I was eleven 50 cent gave me something to believe in
