"Life's on the Line" is a common song by rapper 50 Cent which appears in his first three studio albums: originally, track 5 on his 2000 unreleased album "Power of the Dollar", track 7 in his 2002 compilation album "Guess Who's Back?" and, as a bonus track, track 19 on his 2003 commercial debut album "Get Rich or Die Tryin'". Allmusic stated in the review of "Power of the Dollar" that the song "conveys street life through hard, violent rhythms".The song contains a diss to Ja Rule and Murder Inc. Records for saying that 50 Cent robbed Ja Rule of his jewellery and setted it up, which he shouts "Murda" repeatedly in the chorus, and mentions rappers Jay-Z and Nas. A music video of the song exists, which is the only song in the album which has a music video accompanied with it, despite not being a single. Along with "Rowdy Rowdy", it is one of the two music videos made before he was shot, which was 2 days before filming the music video for "Thug Love".

The lyrics: "We ain't buddies, we aint partners, and we damn sure ain't friends", were later used in his song "Get In My Car" from his 2005 album "The Massacre".
