Curtis James Jackson III (born July 6, 1975), better known by his stage name 50 Cent, is an American rapper, entrepreneur, investor, record producer, and actor. He rose to fame with the release of his albums Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2003) and The Massacre (2005). His album Get Rich or Die Tryin' has been certified eight times platinum by the RIAA.
Born in the South Jamaica of Queens, New York City, Jackson began drug dealing at the age of twelve during the 1980s crack epidemic. After leaving drug dealing to pursue a rap career, he was shot at and struck by nine bullets during an incident in 2000. After releasing his album Guess Who's Back? in 2002, Jackson was discovered by rapper Eminem and signed to Interscope Records. With the help of Eminem and Dr. Dre, who produced his first major commercial successes, Jackson became one of the world's highest selling rappers. In 2003, he founded the record label G-Unit Records, which signed several successful rappers such as Young Buck, Lloyd Banks, and Tony Yayo.
Robert James "Bob" Ritchie (born January 17, 1971), known by his stage name Kid Rock, is an American singer-songwriter, musician, multi-instrumentalist and rapper with five Grammy Awards nominations. Kid Rock released several studio albums that mostly went unnoticed before his 1998 record Devil Without a Cause, released with Atlantic Records, sold 11 million albums behind the hits, "Bawitdaba", "Cowboy", and "Only God Knows Why". In 2000, he released The History of Rock, a compilation of remixed and remastered versions of songs from previous albums as well as the hit single, "American Bad Ass" and the previously unreleased "Abortion".
Kid Rock released the follow-up in 2001, Cocky. After a slow start, his country-flavored hit "Picture" with Sheryl Crow resurrected the album and it went gold as a single and pushed the album's sales over 5 million. It was followed by 2003's self-titled release, which went platinum in the USA and reached No. 8 on the Billboard charts. In 2006 he released Live Trucker, a greatest hits live album that went mostly unnoticed.
We’ve all got things we wish we would’ve said
And you can’t explain the cold to someone lying in their bed
And can’t you can’t give out to anyone if u give in and surrender to
yourself
And the blind will lead until we loose our way
And it turns to rust as it starts to grey
All the begging eyes and all the hopeful stares won’t keep us from
drowning
When it rains the line between us bleeds
And we’re the same
Hell meets heaven on the streets
And we turn into something that we thought we’d never be
When it rains on you and me
The soul will always try to save the heart
And u can’t explain the light to someone sitting in the dark
And when u don’t give up but your head hangs down
You’re not alone
We can paint these walls but all the cracks remain
While we’re making bets on just how long it takes
O, the truth will try to drain the guilt away
But we’ll still be sinking
When it rains the line between us bleeds
And we’re the same
Hell meets heaven on the streets
And we turn into something that we thought we’d never be
When it rains on you and me
If you walk around with closed eyes that’s all you’ll ever see
Don’t hurt me and don’t help me
And don’t put your hands on me
Coz we pretend we’re sorry and we pretend it’s fair
But it crashes down like shattered glass
No cries or prayer will stop me
When it rains the line between us bleeds
And we’re the same
Hell meets heaven on the streets
And we turn into something that we thought we’d never be
When it rains
Ooo…….
No no no no no no no
