[Verse 3: 50 Cent] Em and Dre gave me a shot and I ran with it Homie in the cell saying "damn, my man did it" Get Rich Or Die Trying made it to the top I'm fightin' off my competition trying not to drop It seems like no one seen him fuckin' with the key All they see was me tryna take off their fuckin' head They don't see the slap, all they hear is the shot As soon as somebody hit, I'm sure they'll run to the cops I'm not a bully of the East, if I don't start no beef I meet aggression with aggression, I learned that on the streets I see em frontin' on they blogs, sayin' I'm done Like I ain't got that flow they know be number one
