Discover the story of the song > They Burn Me – 50 Cent

The lyrics are about how the protagonist feels betrayed by people he thought were his friends. He talks about how they have hurt him and turned him into someone he doesn't recognize. He used to show them love, but they showed him hate in return. He has become heartless and their pain no longer affects him. He has many enemies and bad memories because of how people have changed. Despite trying to help others, they still turn against him. He feels like everything is his fault and that he can't trust anyone anymore. The protagonist feels like he's being brought down by those around him who betray him repeatedly. Despite all the hurt and betrayal, he is determined to be successful and prove himself.
