Life Conway's Life
<games> The first popular cellular automata based artificial Life "game". Life was invented by British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970 and was first introduced publicly in "Scientific American" later that year.
Conway first devised what he called "The Game of Life" and "ran" it using plates placed on floor tiles in his house. Because of he ran out of floor space and kept stepping on the plates, he later moved to doing it on paper or on a checkerboard, and then moved to running Life as a computer program on a PDP-7. That first implementation of Life as a computer program was written by M. J. T. Guy and S. R. Bourne (the author of Unix's Bourne shell).
Life uses a rectangular grid of binary (live or dead) cells each of which is updated at each step according to the previous state of its eight neighbours as follows: a live cell with less than two, or more than three, live neighbours dies. A dead cell with exactly three neighbours becomes alive. Other cells do not change.
While the rules are fairly simple, the patterns that can arise are of a complexity resembling that of organic systems -- hence the name "Life".
Many hackers pass through a stage of fascination with Life, and hackers at various places contributed heavily to the mathematical analysis of this game (most notably Bill Gosper at MIT, who even implemented Life in TECO!; see Gosperism). When a hacker mentions "Life", he is more likely to mean this game than the magazine, the breakfast cereal, the 1950s-era board game or the human state of existence.

Life n.
1. A cellular-automata game invented by John Horton Conway and first introduced publicly by Martin Gardner (Scientific American, October 1970); the game's popularity had to wait a few years for computers on which it could reasonably be played, as it's no fun to simulate the cells by hand. Many hackers pass through a stage of fascination with it, and hackers at various places contributed heavily to the mathematical analysis of this game (most notably Bill Gosper at MIT, who even implemented Life in TECO!). When a hacker mentions `Life', he is much more likely to mean this game than the magazine, the breakfast cereal, or the human state of existence. Many web resources are available starting from the Open Directory page of Life. The Life Lexicon is a good indicator of what makes the game so fascinating.
A glider, possibly the best known of the quasi-organic phenomena in the Game of Life.

Life, n. A spiritual pickle preserving the body from decay. We live in daily apprehension of its loss; yet when lost it is not missed. The question, "Is Life worth living?" has been much discussed; particularly by those who think it is not, many of whom have written at great length in support of their view and by careful observance of the laws of health enjoyed for long terms of years the honors of successful controversy.
"Life's not worth living, and that's the truth," Carelessly caroled the golden youth. In manhood still he maintained that view And held it more strongly the older he grew. When kicked by a jackass at eighty-three, "Go fetch me a surgeon at once!" cried he. Han Soper -
Life. The aggregate of the animal functions which resist death. Bichat. 2. The state of animated beings, while they possess the power of feeling and motion. It commences in contemplation of law generally as soon as the infant is able to stir in the mother's womb; 1 Bl. Com. 129; 3 Inst. 50; Wood's Inst. 11; and ceases at death. Lawyers and legislators are not, however, the best physiologists, and it may be justly suspected that in fact life commences before the mother can perceive any motion of the foetus. 1 Beck's Med. Jur. 291. 3. For many purposes, however, Life is considered as begun from the moment of conception in ventre sa mere. Vide Foetus. But in order to acquire and transfer civil rights the child must be born alive. Whether a child is born alive, is to be ascertained from certain signs which are always attendant upon Life. The fact of the child's crying is the most certain. There may be a certain motion in a new born infant which may last even for hours, and yet there may not be complete Life. It seems that in order to commence Life the child must be born with the ability to breathe, and must actually have breathed. 1 Briand, Med. Leg. 1ere partie, c. 6, art. 1. 4. Life is presumed to continue at least till one hundred years. 9 Mart. Lo. R. 257 See Death; Survivorship. 5. Life is considered by the law of the utmost importance, and its most anxious care is to protect it. 1 Bouv. Inst. n. 202-3.

Matching lyrics:
Zonata - Life?
Time it seems to fade away
A life is it nothing but a dream ?
I stand here as true as I was made
Am I a stranger to myself ?
I have feelings of times lost and shared
Moments of darkness in my head
Is there a place for You and me ?
Where nothing is for real
A spring of life that never ends
A glory for all to see
I have feelings of times lost and shared
Moments of darkness in my head
Zug Izland - Life?
I've seen the light and I've
seen the fate
And I walked away
Still I'm ok
I remember the pain inside
from the day when my mother died
Never went away
It's still here today
[Chorus]
Ya born alone
Ya die alone
And still we live on
Yesterday is a memory
Tomorrow is a vision
But today
it's a bitch
Yesterday is a memory
Tomorrow is a vision
But today
it's a bitch
And my baby he went to sleep
in his mother's arms we pray to keep
He shyed away
He never lived a day
Best friend call me up to say
with a gun in his hand said he's goin' crazy
Said you'll be ok
he still died the next day
[Chorus]
Ya born alone
Ya die alone
And still we live on
Yesterday is a memory
Tomorrow is a vision
But today
it's a bitch
Yesterday is a memory
Tomorrow is a vision
But today
it's a bitch
I stood in line
I've lost my pride
I've made the change
I'm a better man today
Death brings life
Still we try
To live a better way
Before your dyin day
[Chorus]
Ya born alone
Ya die alone
And still we live on
Yesterday is a memory
Tomorrow is a vision
But today

Yea yea

Wild Orchid - Life?
(A duration of an earthly existance)
(A specific phase of earthly existance)
(A sentence of imprisonment with the remaining quotient of a convicts existance)
(Life is a sequence of musical and mental experiences that make up the existance of an individual)
A sister wants a brother
Always trying to please another
Young girls wish that they were old
A petal wants to be its own rose
See life has such funny ways
But don't regret you came
See life is always changing
Yet life remains the same
So much to gain...
To win...to lose...to try
Oh yeah, it's all a part of life
To heal...to feel...to be real
Oh yeah, it's all a part of life
(Life, your life)
Empty pages will find words someday (someday)
A perfect person will disobey
You may never find true love
Why must one be taken advantage of...
See life has such funny ways
But don't regret you came
See life is always changing
Yet still remains the same
So much to gain
To win...to lose...to try
Oh yeah, it's all a part of life
To laugh...to cry...to never
Oh yeah, it's all a part of life
To learn...to hope...to dream...to cope
To heal...reveal...to feel...to be real
It's all a part of life
Oh no, not without a fight
I won't give up...I won't give up
Don't give up
Don't give up
Sequence of physical and spiritual experience
Don't give up
Vital and functional - distinctly individual
Don't give up
Pattern of principal existing in reality
Don't give up
Of or relating to the animal mentality
Don't

Sarai - Life?
Once again standin' here cryin out
Energy gone my insides dyin' out
Wishin' you was dead or somewhere lyin' out
Every time you open ya mouth lies flyin' out
Remember when we first met you wit' ya crew
Me wit' my girls doin' what we usually do
You wit' ya game comin' at me askin' my name
Knew it was love first sight you said it the same
Talked on the phone the whole night vibe feelin' so right
Every step pointin' to love the future so bright
Till this girl in my class told me she was pregnant
And that you was the dad
How she wasn't jealous of me or nothin' I had
How you cheated on her several times and treated her bad
And as she was tellin' me that my whole world collapsed
Feelin' like a fool still in love wit' you
[Chorus (2x):]
Mommy always told me 'bout life Life never plays to be nice
Tragedy's all in my life
Love is what destroyed my life, life
What tricks you gon' play now
Nothin' you could say cuz everything is clear now
I can see where I made my mistakes
Stayin' home a good girlfriend gimmie a break
I'd be home alone callin' you catchin' the shakes
Every minute till you call back adrealine raced
Left me hangin' on my birthday when I stayed at ya place
You came home the next morning
I just stared in ya face
Knew where you was actin' dumb it tore me apart
Took it out on your things put the key to your car
Felt like you had a knife all this pain in my heart
Deep down though still wishin' we could restart
For a second I was on top swore I had the cream
Rude awakeing nothin' come to sleepers but a dream
It's sinkin' in never really loved me and it seemed
What was I thinking I was only in my teens
[Chorus (2x):]
Mommy always told me 'bout life Life never plays to be nice
Tragedy's all in my life
Love is what destroyed my life, life
Nowadays when I see you I don't feel bad
Got a real love in my life you be a real dad
For once in ya life try doin' somethin' right
By now you should be ready to slow it down
Cuz you know what go 'round come back 'round
Even though it hurt to let you go I had to roll
A demon in disguise you was tryna take my soul
Couldn't make a move you was tryna take control
In a way I could only balme myself naive
I made the choice to be wit' you and no one else indeed
A picture in a broken frame upon the shelf indeed
Had to take a lil' time to know myself
Every now and then and then I start to reminisce wantin' ya kiss
Even though I know it's dangerous
Every now and then I start to reminisce
For real even though I know it's so dangerous
[Chorus (4x):]
Mommy always told me 'bout life Life never plays to be nice
Tragedy's all in my life
Love is what destroyed my life, life
[Jaguar:]
What a chick gotta do to get some love?
What I gotta do to say enough is enough?
What's the point of bein' wit somebody, that only bring ya down
Goin 'round and 'round
[Chorus (till end):]
Mommy always told me 'bout life Life never plays to be nice
Tragedy's all in my life
Love is what destroyed my life, life
A - Life?
I learned a lot today
You've been teachin'
Things that I don't wanna' know
I had so much to say
I thought I knew the answers
But that seems so long ago
And I wish there was another way
That didn't hurt so much
I'm learning that I can say goodbye
I'm learning that I can be strong inside
I'm ready, I'm ready to get it right
I'm learning about.. Life
I've learned a lot so far
It's got me thinking
What will happen down the road?
Sure I'll make mistakes
But I'll keep dreaming
They might come true you never know
And I wish there was another way
That didn't make me cry
I'm learning that I can say goodbye
I'm learning that I can be strong inside
I'm ready, I'm ready to get it right
I'm learning about.. Life
I gotta long, long way to go
Where I'm goin' I don't know but
I'll be alright
Just you wait and see...
I learned a lot today
You've been teachin'
Things that I don't wanna know
I'm learning that I can say goodbye
I'm learning that I can be strong inside
I'm ready, I'm ready to get it right
I'm learning about.. Life
I'm ready, I'm ready to get it right
I'm learning about.. Life
Des´ree - Life?
Ooh, Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Oh Life.
Oh Life.
I'm afraid of the dark.
Especially when I'm in the park.
When there's no one else around.
Oh I get the shivers.
I don't wanna see a ghost.
It's the sight that I fear most.
I'd rather have a piece of toast.
Watch the evening news.
Life, oh life.
Oh life, oh life.
Life, oh life.
Oh life, oh life.
I'm a superstitious girl.
I'm the worst in the world.
Never walk under ladders.
I keep a rabbits' tail.
I'll take you up on a dare.
Anytime, anywhere.
Name the place, I'll be there.
Bungee jumping, I don't care.
Life, oh life.
Oh life, oh life.
Life, oh life.
Oh life, oh life.
Life
So after all's said and done.
I know I'm not the only one.
Life indeed can be fun.
If you really want to.
Sometimes living out your dreams.
Ain't as easy as it seems.
You wanna fly around the world.
In a beautiful balloon.
Life, oh life.
Oh life, oh life.
Life, oh life.
Oh life, oh life.
Life, oh life.
Oh life, oh life.
Life, oh life.
Oh life, oh life.
Oh life, oh life.
Ten Foot Pole - Life?
You're lying on the cross
They come up to you
Blood rushing through your veins
And you don't know what to do
They said you were crucified
For all of your sins
Now you're dead
Dead on the cross
Millions of people died in your name
Is this the way you make them feel your pain
Tv preachers tell us all
Your coming back to save man from his fall
I have my doubts
About what you say
Because it's hell
Living from day to day
Royce Da 5'9'' - Life?
[Royce talking]
Come here Royce
[Royce talking over chorus]
Come over here, sit down, let me talk to you
Right here, over here
Sit on daddy's lap
I want to tell you something
[Chorus: Amerie (Royce)]
Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone, it's a lonelier place
(This is life)
Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone, it's a lonelier place
[Royce]
Listen, yo
Little Royce Nickel Nine, eyes wide with sight
With a future as bright as the light in the eyes of Christ
Ready to take on the world and whatever is in it
Proof read, sign, and seal whatever you finish
I can only lead you while you're on your quest for knowledge
I'ma teach you to have sense and to respect the dollar
Hope for the best, and you'll see, your world will be solid
I'ma teach you the truth, even behind worldly logic
This is life, cut and dry, days is bright, nights is dark
Fights get sparked, it's almost like to get ahead
You got to be twice as smart, the realities of life is harsh
Just know that God's keeping you level
He'll even speak through the ghetto to reach you
Just to teach you that the streets is the devil
Everybody's dishonest, different
Which means that we're dying by livin'
Oblivious to the time that we're given
So you don't prepare for the death, you live for the life
And live right like, do right by your kids and your wife
Have fun as a child, yo them years is precious
The future brings fear and stresses as the year progresses
You're gonna turn a lot of them down, you're gonna feel rejection
You're gonna tell a lot of lies and you're gonna hear confessions
It's a two way street when you deal in his presence
Only your life can show that everything is real in this message
This is life
[Chorus: Amerie (Royce)]
Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone, it's a lonelier place
(This is life)
Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone, it's a lonelier place
[Royce]
Yo, the whole world is upon you, the pressure is on
And you can probably sum your life up the best when you're gone
Upon the creation of all men, destiny's born
For us to reproduce, so you can keep the legacy goin'
I know you think I'm Superman, but I got weaknesses too
I keep a firm leash on things by believing in you
And after I'm gone I live on breathing through you
And anything I had in this life, I leave it to you
Aim for the sky and fly till you come back down
I had you the baton and you run, till you come back 'round
Let your heart tell your temper, "Put that gun back down!"
Dry your tears up and turn that frown upside-down
It'd be plenty to cry for, think life, not death
You got much more to live for than to die for
But you got to stay humble
Cause just as hard as your work to get it
There's people working harder to take it from you
Cause life, something that people take for granted
As time passes, you're gonna want something back
But you won't get it cause history is made every second
So you crave every lesson and save every blessin'
No matter how you view the world yo, you never will get it
The world will be the world through the eyes of whoever is in it
But things ain't gonna always go right
Look at it like, yo this ain't your day, but this your life, and live
Life
[Chorus: Amerie (Royce)]
Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone, it's a lonelier place
(This is life)
Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone, it's a lonelier place
[Amerie]
There will be trials and tribulations
But don't let them, don't let them, don't let them bring you down
I said you better keep going to your destination
After your darkest hour the sun will come around
[Royce talking]
This is life
Yo I don't care, I don't care if this song don't sell one copy
That's not even what it's for
It's for you, my boy
This is life
[Amerie singing in the background]
You gotta keep going on, you gotta keep moving on
Be strong, be strong, be strong
Cause this is life
Arid - Life?
Hey kid
Hasn't love bit you lately?
Well maybe
Still yet to come to fulfil and erase
Yeah raise
And circumstances dancing around my head
It's the way to your soul that holds me alive
Life, life
We forced up the fear
That's why we're wandering
Life, life, life, life life
Just hold on my dear
Isn't that why we're here, love?
Life, life, life, life life
My baby she knows
The weight that I'm under
Life, life, life, life life
Life, sweet life
I could slowly seek and wonder
Many do erase from the eye
I could slowly seek and wonder
Many do erase from the eye
I could slowly seek and wonder
Many do erase from the eye
Life, life, life, life
We forced up the fear
That's why we're wandering
Life, life, life, life life
Just hold on my dear
Isn't that why we're here, love?
Life, life, life, life life
My baby she knows
The weight that I'm under
Life, life, life, life life
It's gonna be, it's gonna be
It's gonna be, it's gonna be
It's gonna be, it's gonna be
It's gonna be, it's gonna be
Life
Hold on tight to the life
Life, life, life, life
It's going to be our little trial
Life, life, life, life
It's going to be our little trial
Life, life, life, life
And she
Holds me alive
Life, life, life, life
Buffy Musical Episode - Life?
Originally performed by Metallica
Lashing out the action, returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay
Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the Battery
Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the Battery
Cannot kill the family
Battery is found me
Battery
Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers
Never ending potency
Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity
Circle of destruction, hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, dominating flurry
We create the Battery

Atheist - Life?
Numbness, see your fingers turn purple, would you rather burn?
Catching your breath, I'll let you choose your death
Cast your life of agony, I'll dump your body in the sea
I'll drown you while laughing, you know I will destroy you
If chainsaws are your fantasy, I'll cut your body into three
Slicing and grinding, you know that life's not binding
So strangulation is your game, you know I always please to maim
My service to you, to watch your face turn blue
I know your mind, it must be yielding, I'll throw you off a real-tall
building
You can't be found, you're splattered on the ground
I'll still your wrist and let you die, you know they'll call it suicide
Blood on the ceiling, I know how you are feeling
If you'd like to be cremated or maybe decapitated
Speak up now or I'll decide just how
Now you've waited way too long, I knew your mind was not that strong
you've list your chance, so I will choose your death

Nasty Boy Klick - Life?
*(Chorus)*
Sumtime life pulls us down
Help yo peeps when their down
And if tha system holds you back
Just keep on kickin and don't look back
I had a brotha who was in tha thang
He made his money with tha klick who had to have the same game
Money was the main domain
(Don't let em' keep you down Oo--h N-oo)
Didn't give a damn about nobody but his pockets and the ones that got him paid
Always had a bullet
For when he caught an enemy or playa hata tryin to take his spot he had to pull it
My brotha was a wanted man
Wanted by the other man
Taking all tha non-believers out
That was tha plan
Cuz Bookie used to hang with him
And all tha time spent neva neglected
Never really said a word
Never disrespected
But worried in my mind tho
Cuz maybe one of these days somebody might decide to make my brotha die slow
Or fast
Leave him layin dead with his cash
Then I get the bloody news that my brother passed
Sorry to say
R.I.P. it's non-fiction
Much Love to my brotha won't ya'll listen
*(Chorus)*
Me and my homie used to be tha hoods
2 little devils on the rampage didn't care ??? good
My homie was a needle freak
And everytime I went to see him had a different personality for every week
We used to make our money daily
And me bein tha partner in crime
To every victim it was paid
Maybe cuz we had tha erge
To make our money off the well paid independent workers with tha nerve
My homie didn't give a damn
Co-operation was a big deal for the ones he jacked ???
I couldn't understand the hate up in his eyes
I'm strictly jackin for tha fun
He do it to survive
The only person who cared about his life was in tha mirror
Thinkin to himself "I'll dye alone...it's gettin nearer"
Only person that realy care about his life was me
But a bad case a needle made my homie shoot tha O.D.
*(Chorus)*
The last story's bout this sista Kim
Who lived around the corner of my block
With 2 kids, a little her and him
No help from tha brotha man
Tha sucker left her their with 2 kids and no ???
The option was the otha man
Barely survivin
Doin what she could
So in tha meanwhile baloney sandwhiches was all good
Tha 50 dollas every month not good enough
She had to pay tha rent
Now money started gettin tough
She got a man
Who did her kinda good in tha beggining
Then he beat her down took control and he was winning
For a second tho
Cuz see tha brotha had a gun
Now she's doin 5 to 10 like a murda one
With tha kids in tha child care
She kinda sad
But knowin that they got a meal a day that made her glad
And knowin that they alright that made her day
So all she can do now is pray
Sumtime life pulls us down
Help yo peeps when their down
And if tha system holds you back
Just keep on kickin and don't look back
Don't let it keep you down
Whoa whoa
Don't Let it
Don't let it keep you down
Whoa whoa
Yeah
Napalm Death - Life?
Never hope nor choice
Emotionless and cold
This is life
Illusions shattered
An existance of lies
Constant struggle
Freedom denied
At their feet
Submission
No sanctuary in death
Drugged up fucked up

Nelson - Life?
Life

Been right on my destiny
Rake it out fly way
Cuz it's too much for the man

Just about to see the dollar sign,
thats close to a piece of mind
and everything was about to be fine
So tell me, so how'd I get life
[Repeat 1]
Everything that I hoped for is gone now
Buried in the ground
Hopes and dreams and all those things
I'll never see, said I'll never see
(Somebody gave me life)
[Repeat 1 until fade]
Our Lady Peace - Life?
How many times have you been pushed around
Was anybody there
Does anybody care
How many time have your friends let you down
Was anybody there
Did anybody stare
How many time have your friends let you down
Just open up your heart
Just open up your mind
How many times has your faith slipped away
Well, is anybody safe
Does anybody pray
Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we're alive
Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we'll survive
How many days have you just slept away
Is everybody high
Is everyone afraid
How many times have you wished you were strong
Have they ever seen your heart
Have they ever seen your pain
Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we're alive
Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we'll survive
She gets high
She gets lost
She gets drowned by the cost
Twice a day, every week, not a lie
She gets high
She gets lost
She gets drowned by the cost
Twice a day, every week, not a lie
Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we're alive
Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we'll survive
All messed up, but we'll survive
Emilia - Life?
A heart can break so easily
Friendship is forever
We'll stick together as one
'Cause we'll show them just what
we can
And he'll never, never, never
Treat you better anyway
Wipe away your big tears
The boy is just not worth it
Listen to what I have to say:
Chorus:
Life
Will never be the same
Will never be the same
If you take control
I tell you girl
Will never be the same
Will never be the same
If you rule your world
And then you'll feel that
You'll make it better on your own
A friend is there beside you
To share your ups and downs
Call me up when you need
And I'll make you
forget that cloud
And I'll always, always
Keep you smiling if I can
Let's go out together
And have some fun tonight
Listen to what I have to say
Chorus.
Bridge:
Trust your heart and swear
That you'll always be proud
I'm telling you once again
that you are P.R.E.T.T.Y.
And don't believe anything else
Steel Prophet - Life?
Life ever changing it's hidden reality
But then in a moment we see
Is this just a shadow
Of the spirit planes we've yet to see
Lord come soon for me
If I was once in heaven
Who cast me to this hell?
Am I a fallen angel, a coin in the
Bottom of a wishing well?
I know that life's a gift
A shadow of the spirit plane
But my flesh is weak and the
World would have my spirit break
Life is pure beauty
Through eyes we see
But the Kal force
Has power of flesh, lust and greed
The power to guide it
We can't control
We can be in it, but only through soul
Innocents born from heaven learn life's reality
Through choosing Christ's spirit we're free
If you can find heaven on this earthly plane
Your soul is mature, may fly home again
Your task is complete, your spirit now pure
Leave planet hell from satan's lure
But if you're still a prisoner
To the pleasures of your flesh
Relive this carnal death
Life everlasting though the body soon must cease
Through soul find eternal peace
Life isn't over though the body's met it's fate
Spirit burns, it's never too late
Life did you make it all it could be?
Fates warning was never heard
Though tongues of fire spoke his word
You were a fool
Lil Mama - Life?
[CHORUS:]
L is for the liars that have surrounded me
I insurities my head down in these streets
F my future there isn't 1
E Eternal hope
This is my life
I wake up every day to the same old foster mother
I ain't got no pictures of my mother
She was a crack fiend nothing like pot mother
She didn't make a difference if though she
Could've I'm a shame shame of my life
Pappa cracky sold me twice
On a late night stopped by
And look in my eyes
Bags from the tears that I've cried
And the people who lied
Telling me that this is my place
Phony & try smile In my face
When I should have know something
Was rare smiled when she opened the mail
Kept a nice mink on her back
Meanwhile I got a goose & my goose got patches
I'm so mad this is me
I'm so hurt this is me
So I shouldn't be
Well I goin be alright cause
[CHORUS]
I'm pregnant by a dude & he not 16
But I like his style & his whipp is mean
My mama told me to find a man to take care
Of me & he does buy me things but he beats on me
I come to her for a little advice
So I show up with a black eye
Telling me to know my place so I stay
Waiting for my body phase
Telling myself it just a little pregnancy phase
When all in reality I'm being discourage & disrespected
And under the pressure & I don't really blame the man
I blame my mother for not teaching me the different types of man
Life could never understand my side of story being that it's so consist 18 years
And 9 months developing raised in a prison I guess I'll never make a difference
[CHORUS]
Born on to another is the least
Of my problems
Parents like deja vu
My stomach is starving
3 months pregnant idiotically I departed
So ashame of a life that was started
I ask god if he can take the pain away
He made me in denial of every word I pray
Every day it's the same old no talent I'm feeling like
My life is unbalanced no telling what tomorrow going look
Like yea right wrapped up in a fast light for a sudicial
Act why is my life set up for a failure I can care
Less with the people say to ya'll we break out
In rage venting all the hurt inside who am I
To tell you what you fail to realize the voice that you hold
Within you the voice that you are
The Voice Of The Young People!
[CHORUS]
Audio Adrenaline - Life?
Life...life...
Life is a series of impossible dreams, yeah
Full of disappointment and it ain't what it seems
Everybody's pulling you a different way
You want to close your eyes and make it all go away
But what you gonna do when the rent comes do
And the dollars in your wallet are numbered few
Or your neighbor comes knocking on your front door
He wants the mower that you borrowed
The night before your garage burned down
Your boss is screaming
'Cause he walked in your office and
He found you on top of your desk asleep
But what you gonna do that's life!
CHORUS
Life! Too much to do and too much strife
Life! Your girlfriend left ya and it cuts life a knife
Life! Seventy years and a nagging wife
Life! You look in the mirror and it's Barney Fife
(What do you mean by that? [First Time])
You wrecked your buddy's car and
You cracked your head!
It wouldn't have happened if you'd looked ahead and braked
But your mind was racing
'Cause you was thinkin
'Bout chasing that girl who turned you down
Everybody's talking 'bout it
All over town
But then things just get worse
You look in the mirror and you think it's a curse
Your hair is falling out on your pillow and all through the house
But what you gonna do that's life!
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
Life is a dirty trick
If you listen to the devil's lies
But life is another man's treasure
If he's given it up to Christ
Now wait a minute buddy
My story ain't done
God said it all when He gave the world His only Son
To die on the cross
Just when you think that all is lost
There's hope for all mankind
Just give it to Him
And you can't find life more abundantly
And that's the only reason for life!
REPEAT CHORUS
Aselin Debison - Life?
I learned a lot today
You've been teachin'
Things that I don't wanna' know
I had so much to say
I thought I knew the answers
But that seems so long ago
And I wish there was another way
That didn't hurt so much
I'm learning that I can say goodbye
I'm learning that I can be strong inside
I'm ready, I'm ready to get it right
I'm learning about.. Life
I've learned a lot so far
It's got me thinking
What will happen down the road?
Sure I'll make mistakes
But I'll keep dreaming
They might come true you never know
And I wish there was another way
That didn't make me cry
I'm learning that I can say goodbye
I'm learning that I can be strong inside
I'm ready, I'm ready to get it right
I'm learning about.. Life
I gotta long, long way to go
Where I'm goin' I don't know but
I'll be alright
Just you wait and see...
I learned a lot today
You've been teachin'
Things that I don't wanna know
I'm learning that I can say goodbye
I'm learning that I can be strong inside
I'm ready, I'm ready to get it right
I'm learning about.. Life
I'm ready, I'm ready to get it right
I'm learning about.. Life
Ana Johnsson - Life?
Made of love
Made of sin
Mayday - calling form outer space
I dive in
Here I am
Breathing, I`m a miracle
I`m on fire - I`m cold
I can`t be controlled
I`m alive and I`m dead
And I`m ready for the take off
Life! Life!
Shocking irresistible
Life! Life!
Crazy unpredictable
You go Hu Hu Hu
If you want some action
Shocking irresistible
Got no fear
I feel no pain
Only blood rushing on its way
Through my veins
Here I am
Breathing, I`m invincible
I am great but I`m small
I`m a brick in a wall
I`m alive and I`m dead
And I`m ready to take off
Big bang beating a distant drum
Hear the echoes fill the night
Big bang making the walls come down
For the children of the light
I dive right in...
Grand Funk Railroad - Life?
Life, this is an outrageous life,
We're living in.
We call this turmoil our life,
Oh, and it's gettin' old coming over again.
But we don't hear nobody,
Say what they're after.
And we don't hear nobody,
Searching for answers.
John Kennedy died,
They thought he had a solution.
We want to know,
What happened to the revolution.
Did we all get hung up in life.
And do we all know,
Just where were going.
Everything's wrong,
So a change has got to be right (man, baby).
Life, for all the rest of our life,
Will we be wrapped up in strife.
Or, are we gonna start it all over again.
We want to have somebody,
Come up with the answers.
We want to be somebody,
That know's what their after.
We hope that everybody,
Can hear what I'm sayin'.
We know that we will,
If we just keep on prayin'.
CHORUS
Learning to share what were standing on.
Learning to care 'cus it's been so long.
No one so big that they have it all.
We've got to give to the very small.
Life, Give me the rest of my life,
I want to finish it right.
So, I don't have to start all over again.
Let's get together,
For some satisfaction.
Let's stand together,
On a chain reaction.
We need somebody,
We could really depend on.
Don't wait till tomorrow,
'Cause it just might be too long.
CHORUS
Flipper - Life?
I too have sung Death's praise
But I'm not going to sing that song anymore
Yes, I've figured out what living is all about
It's life! life!
Life is the only thing worth living for
Yes life! life!
Life is the only thing worth...
Life! life!
(I know it has it's ups and downs)
Seven Wiser - Life?
Tie my hands and torture me
Until I find the meaning of my life
The light that I see can you take me there
To the meaning of my life
1234
This is how fast time goes by
I can't seem to find the meaning of my life
Here one day and gone the next
You can't afford to live or die tonight
The light that I see can you take me there
To the meaning of my life
How hard does it have to be
To live in this perfect world
Why is it so hard
So hard to be
Who you want to be
When you're searching for your soul
Cypress Hill - Life?
[Bobo]
Once again
We're back
It's the big bad Cypress Hill
You know what time it is
[Beat fades in]
[5x] Whoop
Legalize it,
Cypress Hill will ever die at the end
Legalize it, (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)
Cypress Hill never dies
Never dies, never dies
[Chorus: B Real and Sen Dog]
Once Upon,
[B-Real singing]
Bugaboo L.I.F.E (Now Here it is )
Why, Why, Why (Bo Bo Bo Bo)
Cypress is still here
We're of those glad MCees
Still Puffin Weed, Weed
Why Diddely Why
Why, Why, Why
[B Real]
Never fucked like this
But I smoke blunts like this
People ask: Why you pull stunts like this
Cuz I believe in doing what I got' a
A lot' a people don't understand nada
The Mic burns
You was at
It turn's to a slaughter
You wanna think about chilling the fuck out,
You all gonna Top Allah, Pop collar,
Niggas, Latin Thungs
All my family love barillas
Beginners get pushed to back of the pack
Invented and lend out, without not a tech
You're on the top of the game
But you work on a name till one day
To put us in the walk of fame
Don't call a name to recall the fame
Eventually Dru is in the Hall of Fame
You know what the deal is,
You know what the heal is,
You know who the Real is,
You know what my skill is,
[Chorus: B Real and Sen Dog]
[Humming, Sen Dog: Sighing]
[Sen Dog]
I get mental
This ain't no pad and a pencil
Throw the microphone,
My homey get tensed up
I tag the cheque, like I got nothing to lose (That's right)
I test myself, just shut up and proof
That C-Y-P-R-E-S-S
Got you funky, while I'm real deaf
Put it to the sess, and you will confess
Soul Assassins is the best
Check it homeboy, got to spot cracking (crackin)
Six LP, from that ThugDogLatin
Turn the heat up, and keep it hot
Always give ya mo', and then thank
We got to freak the Hip Hop and the hot ride
I'm on to make shows and can't hide
Had first 'self titled', became an Idol
*Spanish* in a Sub town barrio
[Chorus: B Real and Sen Dog]
[Sen Dog]
Now Here it is
Bo Bo Bo Bo
Chubb Rock - Life?
Yeah, it's like this..
Chubb Rid-dock, nine-seven on lid-dock
Son, rock..
[Chorus: Billy Lawrence *sung*]
Do you know, where you're goin to?
Do you like the things that life is showin you?
Where are you goin to?
Do you know, what you're lookin for?
Do you like the things that life has in store?
Chubb holds it down for sure..
[Chubb Rock]
Ever since mom kissed me and said, ";Seek life!";
My mind had an idea like that kid with the kite
No 'caine slingin, strong-arm bringin check my eyes
Redness done, so I can script ";My Life"; like Mary Blige
I've, been around the world in 90 days, pro-rated
Like Prince no shame for that past few Sheila's I've dated
Made it, with only one but I'm foreshadowing the rhyme
Like a nice Pirollo(?) wine, life takes time
I'm, one of two and to see it a one who's part of many
The quarters of my thoughts will cost more than a damn penny
Any debate we can correlate as to my release date
A nine-seven slate, New York state will have to check me
It's been some time since the break of the dawn
The genre has definitely changed since I've been gone
Whether, bad or good the flow remain tight
So I can come and drop my li-ight, li-ight
[Chorus]
[Chubb Rock]
Well in the past black men used to work for (?)
My age group was plotting to obtain Dead Nixons
The plot, had three vectors for young prospectors
School, entertain, or become Hannibal Lectors
Stressors, used to stress the best, cess wine
But at that particular time I chose to use my mind
Goody too, size twelve shoe the Troy Ave grew
Waited 'til, after eighteen to introduce the brew
Downed the suds and gave a street buzz
High in the +Forrest+ but stupid is as, stupid does
And, that's all I have to say about that
Flipped a Pulitzer prize script and started rap
Simplistic at first, and the knowledge came later
Rob-ski, Dave Wit, and Swanny on the fader
The struggle was on but the fame was in sight
And the tunnel had a light that distinguished my life
[Chorus]
[Chubb Rock]
The low point was mad low when I lost James Los
Spent eighteen years livin next to this high-pro bro
and that's all I got to say, about that
While I give thanks to the man that my brother and I'm back
Onward, to the medals while the boys aged the mix
to the mental utopia, so walk past the six
and the rhyme and the flow, must stay real tight
like it's always been in my li-i-ife, my life
[Chorus]
Big Ed - Life?
[Master P]
You know what?
This ghetto got me so crazy
My life, it almost feel like I'm a phone call or ring away from death
Ain't this fucked up
Big Ed, tell a story of the streets
[Big Ed]
My nigga Jay got his ass snatched, why wasnt he strapped
Kidnapped by four niggas dressed in black
Ahh dats it, They called his momma
Told her, no joke, we got your son, she updated me on da drama
Her voice trembled, she was hysterical
The bounty was a hundred G's
for her to ante up, it would take a miracle
Shes very spiritual
She got on her knees and prayed to god that I would help her yo
We'll get em back, I do anything to help my dawg
Try to relax, I hit you back, let me make some calls
For situations like this,
I keep a safe full of money with 100 round clips
I told my lady, get the cash and the mags
No questions asked we filled it up in a duffle bag
I through in my camoflauge fatiques
My A-R, a hand grenade, and an ounce of weed
Head out the front, put the bag in the truck right next to the M-1
And the pistol grip pump
Hit ma dawgs on the celly mercenary group of killers
We're methodical niggas with infered triggers
Put the Lexus in reverse, and let's roll double 0
Limo tint big body black four do'
Meet V-90 at the diner with Burt bought my bad ass hoe China
Who smoke this dope out her vagina
Chocolate, jet black hair , slanted eyes you shoulda seen her
Bad ass body look, flexible like a ballarina
Seated at a booth, three niggas with broad and bullet proofs
Met for combat, made more calls, met up the troop
I told em Jay got snatched
The Dowen boys got connects on silencers for gats
Bring me four, meet me by Jay mom's crib
I'll be there in ten, it's time to get it how we live
When I got there she said that the jackers know about me
That I got cheese with the Miller boys at the Calliope
Now they want two fifty, it's cool though
It's time to act a fool though, heard a knock at the front door
Reach up my shirt and put the gat to the peep hole
(Who is it?) It's my nigga Boz, open up the door
And Red nigga, these niggas down to kill nigga
But hold up, the plot gets thicker
He said, Jay's a trick ass nigga, nobody snatched the nigga
He's plottin on me, tryin to get richer
He's hiding at the Motel Six, room two twenty
How many hoes in this world, man nigga plenty
Boz got this hoe named wendy, stripper slash dancer
Red met her at Chocolate Sixty in Atlanta
She got a twin sister Candy, Boz hooked Candy to Jay
Jay fell in love with the hoe and got a baby on the way
But he's broke and busted, down and out disgusted
Scheming on me, him and Candy discussed it
Candy told Wendy, and Wendy told Red
Red told me my nigga Jay wants me dead
Not my nigga, but I gotta investigate
We drove to the Motel Six, seen his car, checked the liscense plate
(Yeah that's him) See what happens when you try to pack fair
Peeped in the window, seen Jay gettin rolled in the chair
That's that hoe Candy, workin it backwards
Lookin at her titties got my dick hard like she's a private dancer
Kicked the door down, his pants down, my gat in his face
Pushed the hoe off the nigga and shot his dick off his waist
And that naked hoe Candy pussy is wide open
Jay can't believe she betrayed him, his eyes is wide open
Jay tell me why nigga, before you die nigga
I would have gave you some money, didn't have to lie nigga
But I can't kill ya cause a nigga love you too much
So V-90 shoot him in his head and throw him in his own trunk
Watch your click (watch your click)
Cause niggas switch when you get rich
That tek and ski mask cause life's a bitch
Jamelia - Life?
[Verse 1:]
Baby I found your letter today
Oh it was so beautiful
Declaring your undying love
So poetically
But it wasn't written for me
So I guess I wasn't supposed to see
Although last night you were loving me
Wanting to spend your life with me
Why couldn't you just talk to me
And say, “J, you're not the one”
Instead a F-ing wid my head
And now I want you dead
No matter what the consequence
[Chorus:]
Said I'm bout to do life for you
Got this live or die love for you
And I swear if I can't have you
Then nobody will, nobody will
I'm prepared to do life for you
Put my ass on death row for you
Cos I swear if I can't have you then,
Nobody can, nobody can
[Verse 2:]
Baby what does she do that I don't?
Only one thing I can think of
She's whore and will go where I won't
Tell me why do I
Stand here with this ring on my finger
Is it nothing but you're just another confused
*@!X$* How could you lead me on?
And make me tell daddy you're the one
She can't love you like I do
But you don't love me like I love you so
[Chorus:]
Said I'm bout to do life for you
Got this live or die love for you
And I swear if I can't have you
Then nobody will, nobody will
I'm prepared to do life for you
Put my ass on death row for you
Cos I swear if I can't have you then,
Nobody can, nobody can
[Middle eight:]
This cannot be the ending, on you I'm depending
This eternal love's in my heart
We just can't be apart, I'm gonna hold on forever
And let you leave me never
You've ripped out my heart, I'm definitely dying
I'm taking you with me, and there no denying
[Chorus:]
Said I'm bout to do life for you
Got this live or die love for you
And I swear if I can't have you
Then nobody will, nobody will
I'm prepared to do life for you
Put my ass on death row for you
Cos I swear if I can't have you then,
Nobody can, nobody can
[Chorus till end]
Cat Stevens - Life?
Life you make it what it is
Love can change it with a kiss
Love can take you by the hand
Love can drop you where you stand
But still you want to have it all
You like to live it up
But still you want to have it all
I thought you had enough
But still you want to have it all
I thought you had enough
Life you make it what it is
Love can change it with a kiss
She can turn your head around
He can lift you off the ground
But still you want to have it all
You like to live it up
But still you want to have it all
I thought you had enough
But still you want to have it all
I thought you had enough
Love you make it what it is
Life can change it with a kiss
Ricky Martin - Life?
Life, it's the only thing that you get for free
free is what we all want to be
Take a walk around the block til you see
Everything you want life to be
Tell your mother, beg your father
Respect your sister, talk to your brother
Don't wait don't bother, don't try to save it
Sooner or later, you will discover
Oh life is for sure, but it's for sure, you can't make it [x2]
It's the love alive gets that is both
Love it's the only dream in my heart and soul
Easier to dream than it is to cry
When you're in love goodbye
Tell your mother, beg your father
Respect your sister, talk to your brother
Don't wait don't bother, don't try to save it
Sooner or later, you will discover
Oh life is for sure, but it's for sure, you can make it [x2]
Beg your father
Don't wait don't bother
Sooner or later, you will discover
Tell your mother
Respect your sister, talk to your brother
Don't wait don't bother
You will discover
Tell your mother
Respect your sister
Don't wait don't bother
You will discover
Go thank your mother, thank you father...
Cece Winans - Life?
Sometimes I feel I can't make it
In this world on my own
So hard to see my direction
But you gave me something to help me be strong
(chorus)
You gave me joy
yes you did, yes you did, yes you did
You are my peace of mind oh ou oh
You are my life
yes you are, yes you are yes you are
and now for you Lord I lift my life oh Lord
At last my horizons are sunny
My pain has been erased
A new outlook a brighter day
Since you smiled down on my spirit
All my burdens washed away yeah
I'm born again
Blessed and safe
(chorus)
With every heartfelt melody
and every song of praise I sing to you
Somethin stirs inside of me,
It's the love you have for me
That is why I dedicate my life
to you....
(chorus)
M People - Life?
People in power waste their time
to young and creative, to lives of crime.
Logic's a tool so very unusual,
we all had enough of the crack abuse.
It's time to change our nation's rules.
Freedom's a right, ignored by fools.
We choose our selves between right and wrong.
We've got to be free, we've got to be strong.
[chorus]
Life - could be so beautiful
if truth were known.
And life should be so wonderful
but it sears our soul.
Life - could be so beautiful.
Make your life your own.
They lived their life in a love-shy city.
They got no cure, they got no pity.
They got no taste, they got no vision
and gilted by their own malicement.
Tris jumped down for some fleet street clown
for straight lies as they come down.
All we need is a sense of truth
so why lay the blame on this nation's youth?
[chorus]
Make your life your own.
Freedom's a right not privilege.
Life never ending all transcending.
Play the game by the rules of ending.
Never surrender. Lecture be spender.
Train for hours. Hacienda.
[chorus] [x3]
Kingspade - Life?
Life
"Think about it"
Everybody has troubles
And everybody's troubles are different than others
Life's a constant struggle
But keep your head high and it'll be alright
Life
Everybody has troubles
And everybody's troubles are different than others
Life's a constant struggle
But keep your head high and it'll be alright
Life
Everybody has troubles
Life's a constant struggle
Yo, Step into reality, it's a cold cold world
You got to learn to accept it, feels like I've been neglected
All these bands coming out and they sound alright
All these videos on tv and they look alright
I spent my whole life spilling my guts between the lines
Putting in more work than you will ever know than when I rhyme
Tryin to press the people so I can reach the masses
Give them what they want with this pen that's plastic (Life)
I got a message I'm a put it in a bottle
Sign the bottom of the paper and let the whole world swallow
Today can be tomorrow, ain't no telling when I'm leaving
I'm a rock this microphone even when I'm barely breathin'
When you start sleepin, D-loc starts creepin
When you actin a fool, D-loc's always thinking
Be clever when you play me because it's comin back to hull
I can feel my heats rising and it's pissin me off
And when it's pissin me off I got no choice
But to crack snap back at you like a chain reaction
I'm gettin older dog you better watch your mouth
You better think before you speak on the mic or get knocked out
It's been a minute and your shit better stop
Bring your punk ass back to Cali, bitch ass get popped
You ain't never in Cali, wonder why they don't accept you
Your sound's getten flopped, plus you got a fuckin attitude
Life
Life's a constant struggle
I was never really understood, had alot of misunderstandings
Not too many saw my plan, so it left me standing in my own two shoes
Now what the fuck was I suppose to do?
Givin a fight, be a man or take my life
To make ends meet I did more wrongs than rights
Couldn't hold a job, I can't handle being bossed
In and out of rehabs, from border schools I was tossed
Started hanging with the wrong crowd
Caught slanging by my pops and got thrown out
On my own once again I had to make it happen
That's just a little of my life before I started rappin'
But I always kept in touch with my dog Dustin
That's the one friend that I never stopped trusting
Next thing you know I'm living over at his pad
Me and him and Saint we was workin for his dad
Drinkin tallboys after work every night
Takin hits in the garage out of metal pipes
Working long ass hours no 9 to 5
But you gotta do what it takes to survive
That's around the time that we met Daddy X
And ever since then we've been on a new quest
Kottonmouth was formed so it began a new chapter
Of my life that I'm livin til I'm in the after after
Life
Everybody has troubles
And everybody's troubles are different than others
Life's a constant struggle
But keep your head high and it'll be alright
Life
Everybody has troubles
And everybody's troubles are different than others
Life's a constant struggle
But keep your head high and it'll be alright
Life
Everybody has troubles
"Think about it"
Life's a constant struggle
"Think about it"
Life
Everybody has troubles
"Think about it" "Think about it" "Think about it"
Life's a constant struggle
But keep your head high
And it'll be alright
"Think about it"
Life

Balderston, Lloyd Fonvielle, Kevin Jarre, Stephen Sommers, Nina Wilcox Putnam, Richard Schayer Film Description: Loosely adapted from the classic 1932 horror film starring Boris Karloff, The Mummy is set in Egypt, where over 3000 years ago the high priest Imhotep (played by Arnold Vosloo) was given the all-important assignment of preparing the recently dead for their journey into the afterlife. However, Imhotep made one terrible mistake - he became smitten with Anck-Su-Namun, the mistress of the Pharaoh himself. Driven mad by jealousy and love, Imhotep murdered the Pharaoh, and his punishment was to be buried alive and suffer the torment of an eternal life in his wretched tomb. In 1925, a band of adventurers seeking fame and fortune - led by Rick O'Connel (Brendan Fraser), an American expatriate who has joined the foreign legion, and Evelyn Carnarvon (Rachel Weisz), an amateur archeologist - find a previously unknown burial site in Egypt.

Ten-year-old Sunny Mathews's life changes forever when she is seriously injured in a car accident that leaves her mother hurt and her father dead. She's unable to walk without crutches and as a result of her injury and the loss of her father becomes emotionally withdrawn and reluctant to communicate with anyone. What's worse, her mother loses their house and the two survivors are forced to move into a trailer park. Next door, however, is a horse ranch run by Ben Taylor, a former rodeo star who teaches barrel racing. Ben owns Ginger, a spirited and aggressive (albeit valuable) quarter horse mare the color of "gingerbread," who is also crippled by an ankle injury. Sunny develops a fondness for both Ben and Ginger, and her growing love for the horse (and the desire to ride and compete in barrel racing competitions) encourages her to make progress on the road to recovery. She develops a rivalry with a talented girl and her horse with problems of her own, but in the end, Sunny gains a new group of friends, and perhaps something more... (!). All rights reserved.

Edward Regan "Eddie" Murphy (born April 3, 1961) is an American stand-up comedian, actor, writer, singer, director, and musician.
Box office takes from Murphy's films make him the second-highest grossing actor in the United States.[2][3] He was a regular cast member on Saturday Night Live from 1980 to 1984 and has worked as a stand-up comedian. He was ranked #10 on Comedy Central's list of the 100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time.[4]
He has received Golden Globe Award nominations for his performances in 48 Hrs, Beverly Hills Cop series, Trading Places, and The Nutty Professor. In 2007, he won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor and received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of soul singer James "Thunder" Early in Dreamgirls.[5]
Eddie Murphy's work as a voice actor includes Thurgood Stubbs in The PJs, Donkey in the Shrek series and the dragon Mushu in Disney's Mulan. In some of his films, he plays multiple roles in addition to his main character, intended as a tribute to one of his idols Peter Sellers, who played multiple roles in Dr. Strangelove and elsewhere. Murphy has played multiple roles in Coming to America, Wes Craven's Vampire In Brooklyn, the Nutty Professor films (where he played the title role in two incarnations, plus his father, brother, mother, and grandmother), Bowfinger, Norbit, and Meet Dave.

Early life[link]
Murphy grew up in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bushwick.[6] His mother, Lillian, was a telephone operator, and his father, Charles Edward Murphy, was a transit police officer and an amateur actor and comedian.[1][7][8][9] His father died when he was young. When Murphy's single mom became ill, the eight-year-old Eddie Murphy and his older brother lived in foster care for one year.[10] In interviews, the actor and comedian says that his time in foster care was influential in developing his sense of humour. Later Murphy and his older brother Charlie were raised in Roosevelt, New York by his mother and stepfather Vernon Lynch, a foreman at an ice cream plant.[1] Around the age of 15, Murphy was writing and performing his own routines, which were heavily influenced by Bill Cosby and Richard Pryor.[1]
Career[link]
Stand-up comedy[link]
Murphy performed stand-up at the same Bay Area Comedy Club as Robin Williams and Whoopi Goldberg. His early comedy was characterized by frequent swearing and sketches lampooning a diverse group of people (including WASPs, African Americans, Italian Americans, overweight people, and gay people). This racy content was akin to that of Richard Pryor, whom Murphy has credited as his inspiration to enter comedy;[1] however, in his autobiography, Pryor Convictions, Pryor wrote that he found Murphy's comedy at times excessively insensitive. Murphy later apologized for insensitive jokes about gay people and HIV. The stand-up shows Delirious and Raw have been recorded and released.
1980s acting career[link]
Murphy first earned attention as a regular actor at Saturday Night Live, and was credited with helping revitalize the series during its first true slump in quality in the early 1980s.[11] Some of his notable characters included a grown version of the Little Rascals character Buckwheat,[12] impoverished but street-wise children's show host Mr. Robinson (a spoof of Fred Rogers, who found it amusing),[13] and Gumby,[12] a harshly cynical version of the animated character; Murphy's take on the latter character spawned one of SNL's many catchphrases, "I'm Gumby, dammit!" Although Buckwheat was his most popular character, Murphy asked that he be retired because the actor grew tired of people asking him to "Do Buckwheat! Do Buckwheat!"; the character was assassinated on camera in front of 30 Rockefeller Plaza.[14]
In 1982, Murphy made his big screen debut in the film 48 Hrs. with Nick Nolte.[1] 48 Hrs. proved to be a hit when it was released in the Christmas season of 1982. Nolte was scheduled to host the December 11, 1982 Christmas episode of Saturday Night Live, but became too ill to host, so Murphy took over. He became the only cast member to host while still a regular. Murphy opened the show with the phrase, "Live from New York, It's the Eddie Murphy Show!" The following year, Murphy starred in Trading Places with fellow SNL alumnus Dan Aykroyd.[1] The movie marked the first of Murphy's collaborations with director John Landis (who also directed Murphy in Coming to America and Beverly Hills Cop III) and proved to be an even greater box office success than 48 Hrs. In 1984, Murphy starred in the successful action comedy film Beverly Hills Cop.[1] The film was Murphy's first full-fledged starring vehicle, originally intended to star Sylvester Stallone (who later tweaked the script as his own starring vehicle Cobra in 1986).[1] Beverly Hills Cop grossed over $230 million at the box office and is 40th in the list of all-time total U.S. box office grosses (4th-highest amongst "R" rated films), after adjusting for inflation, as of March 2011[update].[15]
In 1984, Murphy appeared in Best Defense, co-starring Dudley Moore. Murphy, who was credited as a "Strategic Guest Star", was added to the film after an original version was completed but tested poorly with audiences. Best Defense was a major financial and critical disappointment. When he hosted SNL, Murphy joined the chorus of those bashing Best Defense, calling it "the worst movie in the history of everything". Murphy's Trading Places co-star Dan Aykroyd had originally written the character of Winston Zeddemore in Ghostbusters specifically for Murphy, but he was unable to commit at the time due to the Beverly Hills Cop shooting schedule. The part ultimately went to Ernie Hudson. Murphy was also offered a part in 1986's Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, a role that, after being heavily re-written from comic relief to love interest, ultimately went to future 7th Heaven star Catherine Hicks. By this point[16] Murphy's near-exclusive contract with Paramount Pictures rivaled Star Trek as Paramount's most lucrative franchise.
In 1986, Murphy starred in the supernatural comedy, The Golden Child.[1] The Golden Child was originally intended to be a serious adventure picture starring Mel Gibson. After Gibson turned the role down, the project was offered to Murphy as it was subsequently rewritten as a partial comedy. Although The Golden Child (featuring Murphy's "I want the knife!" routine) performed well at the box office, the movie was not as critically acclaimed as 48 Hrs., Trading Places, and Beverly Hills Cop. The Golden Child was considered a change of pace for Murphy because of the supernatural setting as opposed to the more "street smart" settings of Murphy's previous efforts. A year later, Murphy reprised his role of Axel Foley in the Tony Scott-directed Beverly Hills Cop II. It was a box office success, grossing over $150 million. Producers reportedly wanted to turn the Beverly Hills Cop franchise into a weekly television series. Murphy declined the television offer, but was willing to do a film sequel instead.
Murphy was one of the last movie actors to sign an exclusive contract with a studio. In this case, it was Paramount Pictures, which released all of his early films.
Singing career[link]
Murphy is also a singer and musician, having frequently provided background vocals to songs released by The Bus Boys, which their song "The Boys Are Back in Town" was featured in 48 Hrs. and Murphy's comedy special Eddie Murphy Delirious. As a solo artist, Murphy had two hit singles, "Party All the Time" (which was produced by Rick James) and "Put Your Mouth on Me" in the mid-1980s (although he actually started singing earlier in his career, with the songs "Boogie In Your Butt" and "Enough Is Enough", the latter being a parody of Barbra Streisand and Donna Summer's 1979 song, "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)". They both appear on his 1982 self-titled comedy album.) "Party All the Time" was featured on Murphy's 1985 debut album How Could It Be, which included a minor follow-up R&B hit in the title track, a duet with vocalist Crystal Blake. This track was written by Rusty Hamilton and was produced by Stevie Wonder's cousin Aquil Fudge after a brief falling out and bet with Rick James. In 2004, VH-1 and Blender voted "Party All the Time" number seven among the "50 Worst Songs of All-Time." Sharam used a sample of the song for the UK #8 hit "PATT (Party All The Time)" in 2006.
Murphy recorded the album Love's Alright in the early 1990s. He performed in a music video of the single "Whatzupwitu", featuring Michael Jackson. He recorded a duet with Shabba Ranks called "I Was a King". In 1992, Murphy appeared in Michael Jackson's "Remember the Time" alongside Magic Johnson and Iman.
Though uncredited, Murphy provided vocal work on SNL castmate Joe Piscopo's comedy single, "The Honeymooners Rap."[citation needed] Piscopo impersonated Jackie Gleason on the single, while Murphy provided an imitation of Art Carney.
In Coming to America, he imitated Jackie Wilson when he sang "To Be Loved", but because the character he was playing had a thick accent, he had to sing it in character. In later years, Murphy performed several songs in the Shrek film franchise. In the first film, he performed a version of "I'm a Believer" in the film's final scene; in Shrek 2 he performed Ricky Martin's hit "Livin' La Vida Loca" along with co-star Antonio Banderas.
Murphy's all-time favorite singer is Elvis Presley.
Early 1990s career[link]
From 1989 until the mid 1990s, box office results and reviews for Murphy's films dropped, hitting a low point with the critically panned Beverly Hills Cop III (1994),[17] a movie Murphy would ultimately denounce during an appearance on Inside the Actors Studio,[1] although he did find box office success with Boomerang and Another 48 Hrs. Harlem Nights featured Murphy, who had previously been known only as a performer, as director, producer, star, and co-writer, with his brother, Charlie Murphy, as well as supporting roles for Murphy's comic idols Redd Foxx and Richard Pryor.[1]
During this period Murphy was criticized by filmmaker Spike Lee for not using his show business stature to help black actors break into film, despite Murphy's films (especially those he produced) often being populated with predominantly black casts (Coming To America, Harlem Nights, Boomerang, Vampire In Brooklyn, Life). Many black actors who would later gain wider recognition make early appearances in Murphy films such as Damon Wayans in Beverly Hills Cop, Halle Berry and Martin Lawrence in Boomerang, Samuel L. Jackson and Cuba Gooding Jr. in Coming to America, Dave Chappelle in The Nutty Professor and Chris Rock in Beverly Hills Cop II.
Although Murphy has enjoyed commercial success since Saturday Night Live, he has never attended cast reunions or anniversary specials, nor did he participate in the making of the Live From New York: An Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live retrospective book by Tom Shales and James Andrew Miller (2002).
Comeback and image makeover[link]
Murphy's box office results began to recover in 1996, starting with The Nutty Professor. He followed with a series of very successful family-friendly movies like Mulan, Dr. Dolittle and its sequel, the Shrek series, Daddy Day Care, and The Haunted Mansion, along with Nutty Professor II: The Klumps. However, most of his movies meant for more adult audiences performed moderately; Metro, I Spy, and Showtime all ended to gross less than $40 million domestically, Holy Man performed poorly, grossing less than $13 million, and The Adventures of Pluto Nash is on record as one of the biggest theatrical money-losers of all time, grossing just $7 million worldwide on a reported $110 million budget. A notable exception to this run of poorly received adult-themed films was the Frank Oz comedy Bowfinger, also starring Steve Martin. The film garnered generally positive critical reviews, and grossed $98 million at the box office.
In 2006, he starred in the motion picture version of the Broadway musical Dreamgirls as soul singer James "Thunder" Early. Murphy won a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor, as well as a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Broadcast Film Critics Association Award in that category. Several reviews for the film highlighted Murphy's performance while he received some pre-release Academy Awards buzz.[18] Murphy was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor on January 23, 2007, but lost to Alan Arkin for his performance in Little Miss Sunshine. Dreamgirls was the first film distributed by Paramount Pictures to star Murphy (who once was on an exclusive contract with the studio) since Vampire in Brooklyn in 1995.
In 2007, Murphy was invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.[19] As a result of Viacom's acquisition of Dreamworks SKG, Paramount distributed his other 2007 releases: Norbit and Shrek the Third. He starred in the 2008 film Meet Dave and the 2009 film Imagine That for Paramount Pictures.
Murphy co-starred in Tower Heist, directed by Brett Ratner. Murphy played a thief who joins a group of hardworking men who find out they have fallen victim to a wealthy businessman's Ponzi scheme, and conspire to rob his high-rise residence. Ben Stiller, Matthew Broderick, and Casey Affleck also starred in the film, released on November 4, 2011.[1][20][21]
It was reported in late 2011 that Murphy would host the 84th Academy Awards in 2012. However, he dropped out of his hosting duties on November 9, 2011, in the wake of the Brett Ratner scandal.[22]
Personal life[link]
Family[link]
Murphy began a longtime romantic relationship with Nicole Mitchell (born January 5, 1968) after meeting her in 1988 at an NAACP Image Awards show. They lived together for almost two years before getting married at the Grand Ballroom of The Plaza Hotel in New York City on March 18, 1993.[23] Murphy and Mitchell had five children together: Bria L. Murphy (born November 18, 1989), Myles Mitchell (born November 7, 1992), Shayne Audra (born October 10, 1994), Zola Ivy (born December 24, 1999) and Bella Zahra (born January 29, 2002). In August 2005, Mitchell filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences". The divorce was finalized on April 17, 2006.[24]
He also has a child by Tamara Hood: son Christian Murphy (born on 29 November 1990).[25]
Murphy as of 2008 resided in Long Island, New York.[26]
Following his divorce from Mitchell, in 2006, Murphy began dating former Spice Girl Melanie Brown, who became pregnant and stated that the child was Murphy's. When questioned about the pregnancy in December 2006 by RTL Boulevard, Murphy told Dutch reporter Matthijs Kleyn, "I don't know whose child that is until it comes out and has a blood test. You shouldn't jump to conclusions, sir". Brown gave birth to a baby girl, Angel Iris Murphy Brown, on Murphy's 46th birthday, April 3, 2007. On June 22, 2007, representatives for Brown announced in People that a DNA test had confirmed that Murphy was the father.[27] Brown has stated in an interview that Murphy has not sought a relationship with Angel.[28][29]
Murphy exchanged marriage vows with film producer Tracey Edmonds, former wife of Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, on January 1, 2008, in a private ceremony on an island off Bora Bora.[30] On January 16, the couple released a statement saying, "After much consideration and discussion, we have jointly decided that we will forego having a legal ceremony as it is not necessary to define our relationship further," and called the Bora Bora wedding a "symbolic union". The two had planned on having a legal ceremony upon their return to the U.S. but did not, and their wedding was never official.[31]
Legal problems[link]
According to Murphy's childhood friend Harris Haith in his book, Growing Up Laughing With Eddie, long before Murphy did any writing for Coming to America, Art Buchwald had approached Paramount Pictures with the idea for a similar film. His material was rejected, but the information was retained by Paramount. They liked Buchwald's idea but did not see fit to pay him and saved it for use later down the road. Some years later, Paramount presented the idea of Coming to America to Eddie and gave him the contract. Murphy wrote a screenplay that came to light exactly as it aired on the silver screen. In 1988, Buchwald sued Murphy and Paramount Pictures, but Murphy was not found liable because Paramount had received the material.
Philanthropy[link]
Murphy has donated money to the AIDS Foundation, and cancer, education, creative arts, family/parent support, health and homeless charities. He has donated to the Martin Luther King Jr. Center, various cancer charities and $100,000 to the Screen Actors' Guild's strike relief fund.[32]

Second Chances (1999) 1 of 10.avi
Ten-year-old Sunny Mathews's life changes forever when she is seriously injured in a car accident that leaves her mother hurt and her father dead. She's unable to walk without crutches and as a result of her injury and the loss of her father becomes emotionally withdrawn and reluctant to communicate with anyone. What's worse, her mother loses their house and the two survivors are forced to move into a trailer park. Next door, however, is a horse ranch run by Ben Taylor, a former rodeo star who teaches barrel racing. Ben owns Ginger, a spirited and aggressive (albeit valuable) quarter horse mare the color of "gingerbread," who is also crippled by an ankle injury. Sunny develops a fondness for both Ben and Ginger, and her growing love for the horse (and the desire to ride and compete in barrel racing competitions) encourages her to make progress on the road to recovery. She develops a rivalry with a talented girl and her horse with problems of her own, but in the end, Sunny gains a new group of friends, and perhaps something more... (!). All rights reserved.
