“21 Questions,” Get Rich or Die Tryin’, 50 Cent featuring Nate Dogg (2003)
Almost 20 years ago, Queens rapper, 50 Cent’s life started to shift as he started making legal money in the music business. The former hustler was racing up the charts, hobnobbing with people that he never believed he might rub elbows. Still, his street sense continued to kick in thus spawning another hit of his debut album. On “21 Questions,” he asks a potential sweety the drill of questions to make sure that she really is down for the G-Unit leader.
“If I fell off tomorrow, would you still love me?
If I didn’t smell so good, would you still hug me?
If I got locked up and sentenced to a quarter-century
Could I count on you to be there to support me mentally?
If I went back to a hooptie from a Benz
Would you poof and disappear like some of my friends?
If I was hit and I was hurt, would you be by my side?
If it was time to put in work, would you be down to ride?
I get out and peel a nigga cap, chill and drive
I’m askin’ questions to find out how you feel inside”
