Influential Lyrics

fernandezja1 — 2024-03-07 12:57:07 UTC

"All the wrong I've done the Lord still keep on blessin' me"

These Lyrics mean something to me because it proves that no matter how many times you do something wrong god. These lyrics can also mean something to people who are not religious because it shows that the kind of wrongs that can be done can still be forgiven and rewarded depending on how wrong it is. 50 Cent had come from a place growing up where he had seen people doing wrong and it inspired him. He was selling drugs at the age of 12 however, he changes and is rewarded for this and begins to make wonders of money off of making music. He came from a place where doing wrong didn't seem wrong to him he thought it was a cool thing and began to change his life and began to take his music seriously. The reason these lyrics inspire me is because it shows that change is possible in any way possible. I find this more than inspiring, this shows you that life can be tough and you can come from tough places and still succeed if your dedicated.

Lyric Analysis

50 cent can be a very relatable artist and can be relatable in many ways,whether it is realizing your friends aren't your friends or feeling a love feeling, or even maybe being motivated. He can lift you or make you realize things like many artists. Like in His song with The Game he talks about his life growing up and how he came from nothing, with his mom kissing girls and his dad wasn't around for him either. He had made it and if you did or didn't approve of it you can hate it because he was there to stay.

Coming up I was confused, my mommy kissing a girl

Confusion occurs comin' up in the cold world

Daddy ain't around, probably out committin' felonies

My favorite rapper used to sing, "check, check out my melody"

I wanna live good so, shit, I sell dope for a four finger ring

One of them gold ropes

Nana told me if I passed I'd get a sheepskin coat

If I can move a few packs I'd get the hat, now that'd be dope

Tossed and turned in my sleep that night

Woke up the next morning, n**** had stole my bike

Different day, same shit, ain't nothing good in the hood

I'd run away from this b**** and never come back if I could

Hate It or Love It, the underdog's on top

And I'm gon' shine, homie, until my heart stop

Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's M.V.P

And I ain't going nowhere, so you can get to know me

Hate It or Love It, the underdog's on top

And I'm gon' shine, homie, until my heart stop

Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's M.V.P

And I ain't going nowhere, so you can get to know me

50 Cent was known for his music career but where did he get his taste in music, and something as simple as his name in the rap game. 50 Cent had picked out his name from a Brooklyn Robber named Kelvin Martin in the 1980s who was called 50 Cent. However, he didn't enter the rap game until the 00s. He used a more antagonizing and visceral way of storytelling. The song is crafted with strings and horns, which Dr Dre often crafted but also reflected the work of Mobb Deep's track Havoc. 50 Cent also uses a reminiscent style sometimes like rappers like Tupac and Notorious B.I.G. But he was a fan of Run DMC and MC shan
