Referencing Mercy from Kanye West and the G.O.O.D Music crew is about the Lamborghini Murcielago car:

Okay Lamborghini Mercy,

she tryna jerk me

Fat Joe’s givin' your bitch the D

Keepin' it real, and even if I do conceal
My criminal thoughts, preoccupied with keepin' steel Big L (Ft. 2Pac & The Notorious B.I.G.) – Deadly Combination (Remix)

Pac never wanted to sell out when he was in the business. So even if it doesn’t seem like he’s preoccupied with thoughts of shootings and living the thug life, just know that that’s what he’s hiding behind the facade.

Like he said in If My Homie Calls:

Smiling face to hide the trace of hate.

March 18th, a rainy day my mama gave birth
To a baby boy trapped in Hell on Earth Thug Life – Cradle to the Grave

His mother gave birth to him but just like too many poor black people the neighborhood he was born into was filled with violence, death, and police brutality.

Notice how Macadoshis starts his verse off very similarly to 2Pac’s verse earlier, starting off the first line with a date of birth, and then in the second line making a comparison of the newborn baby’s heavenly birth with the hell on earth.

People want to be just like 50 Cent. They want the same guns, the same story, and the same life as 50, but they’re not willing to put in the same effort as him.

“3 to 9” is a reference to been given a choice of a 3-9 year prison sentence, but chose the alternate of a 6 month Shock sentence. See his book for more details.

3-9 Could also be a reference to the time at which he works. Most people work work 9-5’s while a drug dealer would work in the night to early morning.

The people 50 Cent keeps in his company are the same people he commits his crimes with, or his co-defendants. The point of the line is to show exactly how close of a circle 50 Cent keeps. If he’s friends with someone, he’s ready to catch a case with that person. Otherwise, you’re nobody to him.

Tash is/was part of Tha Alkaholiks (Tha Liks) so he’s linking his style in this song to the style of West Coast crew.

If you get shot and run to the cops, you not like me
You ain't got no work on the block, you not like me
It's hot and you ain't got no drop, you not like me

If you want to see how similar you are to 50 Cent, ask yourself a few questions:

If you got shot, would you tell the police?
Do you have an illegal hustle in the hood?
When the weather is nice out, do you have a convertible you can bring out?

If your answer to these question is yes, no and no then you’re nothing like 50 Cent

Marked this as a stretch ?

It is more likely that the last line, “it’s hot and you ain’t got no drop,” refers to a shootout rather than nice weather and a convertible. The term “heat” is used in gangster slang to refer to guns or bulletfire. Therefore, if it is “hot,” a shootout is happening. “Drop” can refer to two things: either a stash of weaponry, or kills. In other words, if there’s a shootout and you haven’t killed anyone, or don’t have weapons on you, you’re nothing like Fifty Cent.

uh, those are not questions. those are statements that he’s stating.

a). if you go to the cops, you’re not like 50. b). if you don’t put work on the block, you’re not like 50. c). if you don’t have a drop top, you’re not like 50.

the last one actually could also mean that if its hot (as in drug prices are on the rise) and you don’t have a drop (a shipment of drugs that you’re sitting on to profit), then you’re not like 50.
