Get Rich Or Die Trying
Have you ever fell in love with an album from the first listen?
Knew every word from every song like you were the one writing?
I was always told I should listen to something different
I fell in love from my first listen to Get rich or die trying
When I was 10 years old I bought an album I didn't know would impact my life
I was Just a kid obsessed with Hip-Hop & this guy who got shot 9 times And survived
Taken aback by how much pain, emotion, anger and heart was in it
An album I can play from start to finish
there was something about this album that spoke to me
It worked as a bandage and healed what was broke in me
Social workers told me it was inappropriate because of all the swearing
Maybe I would have listened if I wasn't abandoned by my parents
I began to see how a song could make you feel strong
How an artist could help you without knowing you
We all go through different stuff, and sometimes you don't need to belong
Because there will always be someone who understands what you're going through
I was one of the first in my school to have this album by 50 Cent
One day I rapped along & off to detention I got sent
Inspired by his story, because he made me realize I could survive anything
I never thought a stranger could fix your wings
The album taught me so many valuable life lessons
To this day i'm still asking girls 21 questions
you taught me that the most ugliest situations can turn pretty
Get rich or die trying, saved me as a kid, so thank you Fifty
Have you ever fell in love with an album from the first listen?
Knew every word from every song like you were the one writing?
I was always told I should listen to something different
15 years later and I'm still in love with Get rich or die trying
