A a a a bro I have a long story and I will tell it so about this story I grew up in the streets, no silver spoon in my mouth Had to hustle hard, grindin' from the north to the south From the bottom to the top, I never took a shortcut I stayed true to myself, never sold out for a buck I've seen it all, been through the struggles and the pain But I never let it break me, I never went insane I kept my head up high, always aiming for the sky I knew one day I'd make it, I never questioned why I faced betrayal, deceit, and jealousy But I never let it phase me, I kept my mind free I stayed focused on my goals, never lost sight I knew I had to fight, I had to shine bright So here I am, standing tall, a king in my own right I conquered all my demons, I won the long fight I'm a legend in the making, a force to be reckoned with I'm 50 Cent, and I'll never quit
