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.
Like a deserted town in winter
The sun has gone and I linger on
The coloured lights on the pier
Have disappeared and the radio plays a sad song
Like a ship lost at sea I'm drowning
As the world closes in
Strength where are you now
Are you with me on this precipice
CHORUS
You can stay if you want to
But I must drift away
You can do what you want to
I'm leaving the ghosts behind
Frozen like a memory
1 close my eyes and then it's gone
As night turns into day
The clock is waiting to have its say
In a minute it's years
And the end is closing in
Strength where are you now
