Curtis James Jackson III (born July 6, 1975), better known by his stage name 50 Cent, is an American rapper, actor, entrepreneur, investor, record, film, and television producer. Born in the South Jamaica neighborhood of the borough of Queens, Jackson began selling drugs at age twelve during the 1980s crack epidemic. Although he left drug-dealing to pursue a musical career, he was struck by nine bullets in a 2000 shooting. After Jackson released the compilation album Guess Who's Back? in 2002, he was discovered by Eminem and signed by Shady Records, Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records.
With the aid of Eminem and Dr. Dre (who produced his first major-label album, Get Rich or Die Tryin'), Jackson became one of the world's best selling rappers and rose to prominence with East Coast hip hop group G-Unit (which he leads de facto). In 2003 he founded G-Unit Records, signing his G-Unit associates Young Buck, Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo. Jackson had similar commercial and critical success with his second album, The Massacre, which was released in 2005. He released his fifth studio album, Animal Ambition, in 2014 and is working on his sixth studio album: Street King Immortal, scheduled for release in 2016.
Only you, to me have the key
Can it be, I'm dreaming?
Now you're here with me
I can't believe, tell me am I dreaming?
It's the right time, we both know
For you to be stepping back into my life
We wasn't happy, couldn't make it the first time
I'll always be thinking of, I'll always be dreaming of
Only you
We did what we had to do
We said what we had to say
And with a last embrace
We just turned and walked away
We did what we had to do
We said what we had to say
Now that we're back again
We won't make the same mistakes
Only you, to me have the key
Can it be, I'm dreaming?
Now you're here with me
I can't believe, tell me am I dreaming?
I know it was the right thing to do
When we let each other go
If we were hurting and we had
Nowhere else to go, if we just carried on
Let it go on and on, there'd be nothing else to build on
We did what we had to do
We said what we had to say
And with a last embrace
We just turned and walked away
It was then, I felt my heart breaking
'Cause we let each other go
For we couldn't see our future
Or what it had to hold
We did what we had to do
We said what we had to say
Now that we're back again
We won't make the same mistakes
Baby, if we take a chance
This time we can make it last
Sometimes love works, a second time around
That's what we're finding out
Only you, to me have the key
Can it be, I'm dreaming?
Now you're here with me
I can't believe, tell me am I dreaming?
