God Gave Me Style 50 Cent

Philippians 3:10

MATURE • MENTOR • MINISTER • MAINTAIN • INVESTING IN BLACK FUTURES THRU STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Naw, ain't playa-hatin' here.  Just can't help but wonder : where's he stand from the Creator's perspective?
What good is it for 50 Cent to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self?  Luke 9:25 NIV 

Sometimes I sit and look at life from a different angle 
Don't know if I'm God's child or Satan's angel
"I'm Supposed to Die Tonight" - 50 Cent

Artist: 50 Cent
Song: God Gave Me Style
Album: The Massacre
Original Release Date: March 3, 2005

[Chorus]

God gave me style
God gave me grace
God gave me style
God gave me grace
God put a smile on my face
Ha-ha, God put this smile on my face
God made me shine like the sun
God make me shine like the sun
Sometimes I feel like I'm the one
Sometimes I feel like I'm the one
It ain't my fault

[Bridge]

I just reach for style, I'm hot I breaks it down
It ain't my fault, you can't break it down the way I break it down

[Verse 1]

Listen, you can call me what you want, black and ugly
But you can't convince me the Lord don't love me
When my cds drop, they sell the best
You call it luck, why can't it just be I'm blessed
I'm a track star, runnin' through life, chasin' my dream
That's til I may even trade in a mic in for that triple beam
I zone off thinkin' is there really heaven or hell
So what happens to a changed man who dies in a cell
I need no answers to these questions, cuz time will tell
Got a date with destiny, she's more than a girl
Don't much good come from me, but my music
Is a gift given from God so I'ma use it (Yeaaah!)

[Chorus]

God gave me style
God gave me grace
God gave me style
God gave me grace
God put a smile on my face
Ha-ha, God put this smile on my face
God made me shine like the sun
God make me shine like the sun
Sometimes I feel like I'm the one
Sometimes I feel like I'm the one
It ain't my fault

[Bridge]

I just reach for style, I'm hot I breaks it down
It ain't my fault, you can't break it down the way I break it down

[Verse 2]

Some days, I'm in the crowd all by myself
Bunch of N***** around I'm still by myself
I'm drink off in the crowd, by myself
Thinkin' bout nothin' more than life, what else
These days its hard to tell who really cares for me
So you when hear this song, you should say a prayer for me
I put a message in my music, hope it brightens your day
If times are hard, when you hear it, know you'll be okay
A O.G. told me God's favorites have a hard time
You out the hood, that's good now stay on the grind
I'm a sponge, knowledge and wisdom, my hits off fast
I'm in a class by myself, you do the math

[Chorus]

God gave me style
God gave me grace
God gave me style
God gave me grace
God put a smile on my face
Ha-ha, God put this smile on my face
God made me shine like the sun
God make me shine like the sun
Sometimes I feel like I'm the one
Sometimes I feel like I'm the one

Psalm 5

Artist: David
Song: Psalm 5 - For the director of music.  For flutes.
Album: The Bible (NIV Version)
Original Release Date: ca. 1015 B.C. ?

Give ear to my words, O LORD, 
    consider my sighing.
Listen to my cry for help, 
    my King and my God, 
        for to You I pray.
In the morning, O LORD, You hear my voice;
    in the morning I lay my requests before You 
        and wait in expectation.

You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil;
    with You the wicked cannot dwell.
The arrogant cannot stand in Your presence;
   You hate all who do wrong.
You destroy those who tell lies; 
    bloodthirsty and deceitful men
        the LORD abhors.

But I, by Your great mercy,
    will come into Your house; 
    in reverence will I bow down
        toward Your holy temple.
Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness 
    because of my enemies --
        make straight Your way before me.

Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; 
    their heart is filled with destruction. 
        Their throat is an open grave; 
            with their tongue they speak deceit.
Declare them guilty, O God! 
    Let their intrigues be their downfall. 
        Banish them for their many sins, 
            for they have rebelled against You.

But let all who take refuge in You be glad; 
    let them ever sing for joy. 
        Spread Your protection over them, 
            that those who love Your name may rejoice in You.
For surely, O LORD, You bless the righteous; 
    You surround them with Your favor as with a shield.

Check the Script

A bigger script 'n story's been goin' on long before 50 started sellin' mix tapes outta car trunks.
It'll go on long after his spill's faded from outta the speakers in other people's car trunks.

We're talkin' about a script and a story that 50 could actually become an important part of —
taking up his unique role in a long-runnin' piece that every man, woman, boy 'n girl
has been invited 'n called — or oughta be — to play their important part in.
Each has a pivotal role that only they can play — 'n no one else.

The name of the piece?

His Story.

Ya see,

It's not about 50 Cent
or Eminem — or Dre.

'N please don' be mad,
but it's not about you.
And it's not about me.

It's about Christ, y'all.

His Story is the Final ( Ultimate ) Reality perpetrators are tryin' to compete with.

"No comp," says Christ.

His Story's got all ya elements covered.
No matter what or how hard they are.
No matter how they came after you.
No matter how hard they hit you...

Christ's been there,
Dealt wit' that
Goes past ya t-shirt
and sees the heart
that tries so hard
to hold its own
against the One
Who holds the throne.

Our own stories find their true meaning when they
find their place in the larger context of His Story.

We ain't playa-hatin'.  Life's 2 short.
Just want to see Curtis Jackson
( bka 50 Cent ) come to Christ.

Fact: Jesus Christ died for this neo-gangsta 'n waits for the day
when son will say, "I give up my right to myself to You, Lord."

Some of 50 Cent's bullet wound scars become visible
after he's started his set with a throwback jersey,
which he doffs to reveal a bulletproof vest,
which he removes to reveal a tee-shirt
which he sheds to go shirtless.
On his chest hangs a cross.

[ another one of hip-hop's incognito cultural representations illustrating Christ's incarnation ]

Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God
something to be grasped,
but made Himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
He humbled himself and became obedient to death —
even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place
 and gave Him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:5-11 NIV

Would that 50 Cent could doff the old self
'n don the new man created to be like God
in true righteousness and holiness.
Ephesians 4:22-24

Pray for him.
Jus' like he asks
in this spill.
