Didn't understand why as I've never heard the song, so I looked up the lyrics

[Chorus: 50 Cent]
Many men
Many, many, many, many men
Wish death 'pon me
Lord, I don't cry no more
Don't look to the sky no more
Have mercy on me

Thanks for taking the time to look up the lyrics and for sharing some of them!

Here are the lyrics for those that want to check them out:

  1. https://genius.com/50-cent-many-men-wish-death-lyrics

“Many Men (Wish Death)” is the third single from 50 Cent’s debut studio album Get Rich or Die Tryin'. This track deals with 50’s near death experiences (infamously, 50 was shot 9 times in 2000) and feeling like there’s a price tag on his head.

In February 2003, while on Rap City Tha Bassment, 50 Cent would say “Many Men” is his favorite song from the album:

And he also said it in the MTV All Eyes On 50 Cent special:

About 20 years later, 50 Cent would contradict himself in an interview with news outlet Marca, where he said:

Many Men was my least favorite at that point because, musically we was in the boom-bap phase, we was in that hard-hitting intensity, the energy on the records, and it’s the slowest song on Get Rich Or Die Tryin’. And it’s now the tempo that the artists are rapping to. So the fast tempo, hard-hitting beats, that was that era, that time period. And the whole album had it.
