60 times 50 Cent rapped about how much money he has

Rapper-slash-entrepreneur 50 Cent (né Curtis Jackson) knows the power of the dollar, but it turns out his piggy bank is empty. He filed for bankruptcy on Monday, despite his alleged "racks on racks and racks" and repeated spots on Forbes' wealthiest artists list. Here's a look back at happier times, when 50 was still bragging about his 7,421 cars, his designer duds, and his bloated bank accounts.

Power of the Dollar, 2000

"Thug Love"
Fifth Ave. sh-t, baby, Fendi furs
I ain't tight with the chips, girl
I'm down to splurge
If it's ice you like I'll light up your life
VS2 Clarity alright

"The Good Die Young"
It's the money that makes sh-t get ugly
It's the money that makes these hoes love me
It's the money that makes n---as wanna slug me
Man, I thought the money would make it all lovely

"That Ain’t Gangsta"
I represent n---as in the hood gettin' rich
Man, I stack chips and I unload clips

"Make Money by Any Means"
Yo, it's all about the cash you getting
Bricks you flipping, the whips you sitting

"Material Girl 2000"
Hey, Shorty, why you like me? Huh? You like the way I spit?

Platinum iced out, got rid of that gold sh-t
I love my lifestyle, you, too, you love it
That I could blow 20,000 and think nothin' of it

Probably wouldn't f--k in the whip if it wasn't a Benz

"Yo You Ain’t No Gangsta"

Now shit changed, motherf--ker, I can hire some help

"If I Can’t"

It feels good to blow 50 grand and think nothing of it f--k it

"P.I.M.P."
Come get money with me if you curious to see
How it feels to be with a P-I-M-P

I keep a Benz, some rims, and some jewels

"Like My Style"
Wanna get rich I'll show you how

"Poor Lil Rich"
