The Rapper 50 Cent Took his Name from this man.


           The Original 50 cent


Up an Down the Street


Blood collage on the Concrete


Spit an Gunpowder under your feet.


Terrorizin people at just a little above 5 ft.


Gun Slinging Like Pistol Pete.


2 guns  Sreet Like the


Had Liquor stores robbed in 1.2.3.


Seems you were Blessed with Gold


But never to get out the Projects Or to grow old


You had more Heart than a little bit when nite came distant dream like drizzled rain


Little did you know your outline would be drawn in a chalk outline frame


No more wild west days Selling dope or Cocaine No more getting paid big moneyJust a tiny bullet hole in frame whispered your name.


In ya Skull Frame.


Fate and the Devil couldn’t bargain that day no more con games no more pain


Hustlers shoot dice in the street One wound up in a Wheelchair


With bullets Ricochet Luck Cried when the Dice fell snake eyes that day


They threatened to kill the shooters family As you bled out in  the staircase


Luck Cried when the Dice fell snake eyes that dayAs you bled out  in  the staircase


 


Better to Die a Street Legend in The Project’s Than a ‘’Nigger’'in a Penthouse .

Sounds like turf war..
I could be arrested for saying Nigger...
But your bio is correct..America was our alcatraz along with Oz...

The last line really brings home the perceived truth, the denied truth and the hidden truth..

SPEAK LOUD, SPEAK PROUD!
