Lyric discussion by cycopath 

Cover art for A Baltimore Love Thing lyrics by 50 Cent

This song portrays the heroin problem in Baltimore, Maryland. In this song, 50 Cent is writing and singing as if he were the actual drug heroin. The song is meant to be listened to as if "heroin" were telling the story. This song also portrays a love relationship with a girl similar to a relationship that someone would have with heroin. He mentions, "If you give birth, I'll already be in love with your kids" meaning that if a heroin addict uses heroin while they are pregnant the baby will be effected too.

Song Meaning

"A Drug Enforcement Administration report calls Baltimore the heroin capital of the United States"

"Baltimore is a top market for pure South American heroin. About $1.5 million of it is sold every day."

"Baltimore has "one of the most severe crack (cocaine) problems in the United States.""

"The use of the designer club drug ecstasy has rapidly increased, particularly among suburban users."

"And Baltimore leads the country in drug-related emergency room admissions. "...

"DEA officials told him that at least $1.5 million in cash is exchanged every day during street-level drug deals - a statistic the commissioner called "a conservative estimate." "

"The city's fastest-growing drug problem is with Ecstasy, also known as MDMA, which is sold in and near nightclubs and has a strong presence in southeast Baltimore neighborhoods such as Highlandtown, Fells Point and Canton, Hocker said"

O yea, Canton is the shit!!!, and Fells Point, if you live near maryland, like PA or Virginia, you should come down! It's awesome. Right off 95
