Below is the lyrics of The Funeral...the lead single of 50 Cent's underground album, Animal Ambition.
[Intro]
You forgot my style
[Verse]
Flowers, a funeral service, a kid's in the coffin
It sound so familiar, don't it happen so often?
The shoot-out shit happens, the sister read the eulogy
Couldn't help but think ''nigga better you than me''
.38 ain't got no safety, that bullet ain't got a name on it
But it's hard to miss when that thing got a beam on it
First shot, pop off, everybody popping shots
The glass at the store front, we forgot God was watching
Run, run, hit the gate, D's yelling ''drop it''
Niggas getting jammed up, better that than a jammed up
His momma said a few words to her, he was innocent
She might have heard he did some shit, but never saw no benefits
So in her eyes, he's mommy's little baby
But he was outside talking to niggas crazy
In a room full of people came to pay their respect
I just came in to get a close look at nigga to check
That nigga dead as a doorknob, stiff as a nail
And my man Jamal he gon' get out of jail
ROR, trust me nigga I know the law
Release all your anaconda's, that bullshit I'm on it
That's his first taste, I mean his first case
Got knocked with the strap, but not the one that clapped
This nigga here we still got that, yeah
First law in my hood is show no fear
Him and love was closer than we thought, that nigga in here crying
Oh shit, in the store, he probably passed him the iron
These some grimy ass niggas, full breed vultures
Trying to come up, still eating around roaches
Cookie Crisp, Captain Crunch, breakfast of the champions
Lucky charms, stay armed, niggas won't clap you in
We watch the side bitch talking like she a main bitch
His wifey just sat there, bitches weren't saying shit
Right jab, left hook, hand full of weave
This type shit a nigga got to see to believe
These bitches acting up in here
Police they don't fucking care
Homicides snooping around of them, we all with the shit
Cousin back from college saying he gon' get who did this shit
He a ball player nigga, nigga better play ball
You play with the wrong niggas we gon' get to letting off
I done seen enough, feel like it's time for me to split
Hit the parking lot, chill where the weed is lit
Twist the cap, pour out a little liquor
All the theatrics, you know, like that was my nigga
We all can't win, some of us got to lose
Envision a lil' dog barking at a pack of wolves
Cause that's what happened, yeah yeah, that's what happened
He just went on and on till niggas started attacking
Acting like he was the only motherfucker packing
[Outro x2]
50 bars of pleasure, 50 bars of pain
When I'm dead and I'm gone niggas will remember the name
This is 50
50 Cent releases yet another new song/video from his upcoming album, Animal Ambition. This Hustler video is in black and white, and it shows a mafioso side of 50. He promised to release a new song/video from the actual Animal Ambition album every week, till the album drops on June 3rd. This is the 7th video so far.
"Because things changed dramatically within the technology and the way people consume music too, so...you hear a new song when you're actually on the morning show, you hit Youtube, to hear it again. You know what I'm saying? The telephone is right there, so there is always that access. I created the visual so I can impress you in a different way when you actually look at it at the time...So, as each song come out, the video will come out too."
Great strategy. By the way, the album is scheduled to drop June 3rd. He has been releasing a new video every week for some time now. So far, I have seen the video for The Funeral, Hold On, Don't Worry 'Bout It, Pilot, Smoke, and Big Rich Town; that is six total so far.
50 Cent said he would drop a new song and video every week till fifth album, Animal Ambition drops on June 3rd. So, this is the latest song from the album, Smoke; 50 Cent feat. Trey Songz. Watch out for the video in a couple of days...or hours.
50 Cent keeps the videos rolling out...Pilot is the latest single/video to drop from his upcoming album, Animal Ambition, which is set to drop on June 3rd. This is the fourth video to be released from the project in less than two months. First you had The Funeral, then Hold On, then Don't Worry 'Bout It, and now this one.
"It'll be seamless, It's gonna ride right into it. Street King Immortalis more personal. It's way more personal than this record. Of course this one is about a portion of my actual experience, but that one is...I talk about things that I haven't talked about." (Complex Magazine)
“It was more important that you had your own style than you being able to master a version of Rakim or a version of another artist’s style. Nobody does that better than Rakim. Even with new content that flow is still his flow. Nas is [also] one of those guys…he has his own. Even if some people make comparisons that was just Queensbridge, man. That period for me...Mobb Deep, Prodigy is in his own class in my mind."
50 Cent departed Shady-Aftermath Records/Interscope Records last week, and shortly afterwards, he released a new video titled The Funeral. The video is for the first single off 50's upcoming underground album titled Animal Ambition (album is scheduled to drop June 3rd). He has total control of how and when his music drops with his new label, and plans to drop an underground album, before dropping his official 5th studio album, Street King Immortal.
