    [music]
  • 0:06 - 0:09
    Hey, what's up?
    This your kid 50 Cent right here.
  • 0:09 - 0:11
    Again it's Cocaine City,
    [???]
  • 0:13 - 0:17
    they really ain't got no circulation.
    If you really wanna know what the fuck,
  • 0:17 - 0:19
    reason why you don't see me
    on [other]? shit.
  • 0:19 - 0:20
    You understand what I'm sayin'?
  • 0:20 - 0:25
    We'll keep it real with you, right here,
    the middle of mofuckin' Manhattan.
  • 0:25 - 0:28
    [???] projects right there, right?
  • 0:28 - 0:30
    I mean, they fucked up over there too,
    you know what I'm sayin'?
  • 0:30 - 0:32
    But it's all good, we out here.
  • 0:32 - 0:35
    Made me mad, 'cause I be
    lookin' at niggas like,
  • 0:35 - 0:37
    I don't understand why they don't get it.
  • 0:41 - 0:44
    I don't have a problem.
    There's no problems any more.
  • 0:44 - 0:46
    You know why?
    Because if I had a problem,
  • 0:46 - 0:49
    what I would do is I'd a take a nigga
    like the Fat Joe nigga,
  • 0:49 - 0:51
    you kiddin' me?
    I take it off the street right now
  • 0:51 - 0:55
    and make him make the money
    Fat Joe make right now,
  • 0:55 - 0:58
    and then you know what I'd tell him
    after he get comfortable?
  • 0:58 - 1:00
    I'm sorry, but this is over.
  • 1:00 - 1:06
    If you don't deal with that situation,
    the situation you got is over.
  • 1:06 - 1:08
    Then it's Pop Go the Weasel,
    you know what time it is,
  • 1:08 - 1:11
    'cause niggas is hungry. You watchin'
    this shit right now,
  • 1:11 - 1:16
    you waitin' on your shot, and you know
    because you would do it.
  • 1:17 - 1:20
    Then they act like there's a problem.
    [?] problem, man.
  • 1:20 - 1:22
    I will dispose of these niggas conveniently.
  • 1:22 - 1:28
    TOS, nigga. Terminate On Sight.
    They green. I said they green.
  • 1:29 - 1:32
    [?] asking questions. Why the fuck
    they askin' me so many questions,
  • 1:32 - 1:35
    I understand it now. I just sat down
    and I thought about it,
  • 1:35 - 1:37
    and I said, Damn.
  • 1:38 - 1:40
    If I'm from the same corner
    another nigga from,
  • 1:40 - 1:44
    and that nigga get up off that corner
    and start bringin' in a hundred big ones.
  • 1:44 - 1:47
    Ay, mofucker, I'm not talkin' about
    a hundred dollars, man,
  • 1:47 - 1:49
    I'm talking about a hundred [?]s,
    nigga.
  • 1:49 - 1:52
    I got a lot of questions too, right?
  • 1:52 - 1:55
    Supposed to have motherfuckin' questions,
  • 1:55 - 1:57
    but niggas always act like they don't
    understand what's goin' on.
  • 1:57 - 2:00
    I be tellin' you straight up, I give 'em
    the game, that's a gift,
  • 2:00 - 2:02
    here you go, baby, and you know
    what they do?
  • 2:02 - 2:05
    They look at me like I'm tryna pull
    a fast one on 'em.
  • 2:05 - 2:08
    You know what I'm sayin'?
    I'm a get you, right after I used it,
  • 2:08 - 2:11
    once I bang 'em one time,
    I get it lit,
  • 2:11 - 2:15
    I'm a let you go ahead and go do it if you
    can fuckin' keep your head together enough
  • 2:15 - 2:18
    to get yourself into position, but,
    I mean, you wanna play stupid,
  • 2:18 - 2:21
    be stupid, stay stupid, stay broke,
    you know what I'm sayin'?
  • 2:21 - 2:26
    That's my motto. For me, I'm a take it in.
    I may absorb anything that's going on
  • 2:26 - 2:30
    and get what I can get.
    Ain't no school for this shit, stupid.
  • 2:30 - 2:32
    Ain't no school for this shit!
  • 2:32 - 2:35
    You gotta be smart enough to pick up
    the information as you go.
  • 2:35 - 2:39
    Now the crazy shit is niggas that
    look like you doin' something wrong.
  • 2:39 - 2:41
    What I do wrong?
  • 2:41 - 2:44
    If you can find a nigga that can tell you
    that I owe him something,
  • 2:44 - 2:49
    one nigga, find one nigga that can say
    that nigga 50 owe me something,
  • 2:49 - 2:53
    or he gonna call you Boo Boo
    because he wanna act like he knew me
  • 2:53 - 2:55
    before we actually got on
    and shit like that.
  • 2:55 - 2:58
    If you will find a nigga that say
    I owe him something,
  • 2:58 - 3:00
    I'll give him whatever you say I owe him,
  • 3:00 - 3:04
    'cause I can't remember a nigga
    doin' nothin' for me, nigga.
  • 3:04 - 3:06
    Now a mofucker say you crazy, nigga,
    call me crazy,
  • 3:06 - 3:08
    you know what I be thinkin'
    when they say that?
  • 3:08 - 3:11
    Nigga say I'm crazy, I be thinkin', yep ...
  • 3:11 - 3:16
    I was crazy enough to believe what the fuck
    I was saying gonna happen was gonna happen.
  • 3:16 - 3:20
    And that's why I was persistent enough
    and consistent enough to exist now.
  • 3:22 - 3:27
    Y'all can check it out. [??]
    reading 48 Laws of Power, Robbie Greene.
  • 3:27 - 3:30
    Now you're gonna read the 50th law,
    'cause I done got with Robbie Greene
  • 3:30 - 3:33
    to create the new shit for you to read,
    nigga.
  • 3:34 - 3:39
    C'mon man, don't play with me that shit,
    33 Strategies of War, The Art of Seduction,
  • 3:39 - 3:41
    c'mon, all that shit come from the hood.
  • 3:41 - 3:45
    It's a parallel between corporate America
    and the hood, and it's obvious.
  • 3:45 - 3:47
    You see me winnin', don't you?
  • 3:47 - 3:53
    And the fuckin' oldtimers is lookin' like,
    Yo man, he took a page outta my book.
  • 3:53 - 3:57
    But they ain't make all of that fuckin'
    money off it that I made off it.
  • 3:57 - 4:01
    So what that make me? That make me
    a better version of them niggas.
  • 4:01 - 4:06
    The old school niggas. Check out [?]
    magazine, Felon magazine,
  • 4:06 - 4:08
    and fuckin' Don Diva and all that shit.
  • 4:08 - 4:12
    For real, you can see a nigga just
    tryna reflect on the glory days.
  • 4:12 - 4:17
    [??]
    I bought you a gold watch, din't I?
  • 4:18 - 4:20
    Don't tell me that shit.
  • 4:21 - 4:23
    This is the point right here where
  • 4:24 - 4:28
    I don't wanna see a nigga who had it
    and don't got it no more.
  • 4:28 - 4:32
    Really I think them books is there in order
    to make niggas remember that shit,
  • 4:32 - 4:36
    'cause they ain't ready to do that shit
    they did then now.
  • 4:36 - 4:40
    So now they wanna reflect on that shit
    so they can make the young boys
  • 4:40 - 4:44
    feel like they that hard or that serious
    or they put it in like that,
  • 4:44 - 4:47
    and they get the young boys to do anything.
  • 4:47 - 4:49
    They ain't fuckin' doing nothin'.
  • 4:49 - 4:53
    So explain to me, like when I'm comin' up,
    niggas like, Yo, who he with?
  • 4:53 - 4:59
    Me, nigga. By myself,
    and I do what the fuck I wanna do.
  • 5:00 - 5:03
    The young just love me, they love me.
    You know why they love me?
  • 5:03 - 5:05
    They think like me.
  • 5:05 - 5:10
    And even after I play basketball,
    they smell like me.
  • 5:10 - 5:13
    They go, we the same, we come up
    the same corners, we ain't had much.
  • 5:13 - 5:16
    You just gotta hustle. You gotta
    go hard, man.
  • 5:16 - 5:18
    This ain't playin' games, man.
  • 5:18 - 5:20
    Nigga's got it and I'm gonna git it.
    Trust me.
  • 5:20 - 5:23
    I'm gonna get mine,
    I don't know 'bout y'all niggas.
  • 5:23 - 5:27
    [?] bullshit. I ain't gonna shoot a nigga
    over "He stepped on my shoe" type shit,
  • 5:27 - 5:30
    or he fucked the same bitch I fucked with.
  • 5:30 - 5:33
    You gotta up your game so bitches
    [?] from someone else.
  • 5:36 - 5:40
    Real shit, man. I don't even know
    what to say to niggas, man.
  • 5:40 - 5:42
    I pull through my hood, he be like,
    What up?
  • 5:42 - 5:45
    I be like, get the fuck outta here,
    I ain't talkin' to this nigga.
  • 5:45 - 5:49
    The fuck am I talkin' to this nigga for?
    You know what my grandfather told me?
  • 5:49 - 5:51
    You'll get as far as the motherfuckers
    you talk to for no reason.
  • 5:51 - 5:55
    You'll be successful as the motherfuckers
    that you talk to for no reason.
  • 5:55 - 5:57
    What I mean is,
  • 5:57 - 6:00
    are you spending your day talkin' to a
    nigga that ain't got nothin' goin' on?
  • 6:00 - 6:03
    What the fuck kinda information
    could he offer you?
  • 6:03 - 6:07
    Can he help you learn something? Can he
    teach you something in the conversation?
  • 6:09 - 6:11
    Leave me the fuck alone, man.
  • 6:11 - 6:13
    Can't they just --
