"If I Can't" is a song recorded by American rapper 50 Cent for his debut studio album Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2003). It is one of the album's four tracks produced by Dr. Dre, with co-production from frequent collaborator Mike Elizondo. Lyrically, the song describes how 50 Cent believes that "if I [he] can't do it [referring to anything], it can't be done". It was released as the fourth and final single from Get Rich or Die TryinШаблон:' on September 16, 2003, by Interscope Records, Shady Records and Aftermath Entertainment.
