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. shit, 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 shit get ugly
It’s the money that makes these hoes love me
It’s the money that makes niggas wanna slug me
Man, I thought the money would make it all lovely

“That Ain’t Gangsta”
I represent niggas 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 shit
I love my lifestyle, you, too, you love it
That I could blow 20,000 and think nothin’ of it

Know you wouldn’t fuck with me if I had no ends
Probably wouldn’t fuck in the whip if it wasn’t a Benz

“Yo You Ain’t No Gangsta”
Look, if you ain’t worth a mil, you ain’t far from broke

If niggas hate then let them hate and watch the money pile up

“Heat”

Now shit changed, motherfucker, I can hire some help

“If I Can’t”
Tell niggas “Get they money right” cause I got mine

It feels good to blow 50 grand and think nothing of it fuck 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
Roll in the Benz with me, you could watch TV

I told you fools before, I stay with the tools
I keep a Benz, some rims, and some jewels

“Like My Style”
Wanna get rich I’ll show you how

“Poor Lil Rich”
I let my watch talk for me, my whip talk for me

I was a poor nigga, now I’m a rich nigga
Getting paper now you can’t tell me shit, nigga

I’m in the Benz on Monday, the BM on Tuesday
Range on Wednesday, Thursday I’m in the hooptay
Porsche on Friday, I do things my way

Don’t worry ‘bout how I get my money, bitch, just know I get my money
Don’t worry ‘bout I spend my money, boy, I got a lot
Don’t worry ‘bout that car I drive, don’t worry ‘bout that bike I ride
Don’t worry ‘bout them diamonds in that bezel on my watch
