The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960 and one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed acts in the history of popular music. The group's best-known lineup consisted of John Lennon (rhythm guitar, vocals), Paul McCartney (bass guitar, vocals), George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals) and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals). Rooted in skiffle and 1950s rock and roll, the group later worked in many genres ranging from pop ballads to psychedelic rock, often incorporating classical and other elements in innovative ways. Their enormous popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania"; as their songwriting grew in sophistication, by the late 1960s they came to be perceived by many fans and cultural observers as an embodiment of the ideals shared by the era's sociocultural revolutions.
George Harrison,MBE (25 February 1943 – 29 November 2001) was an English musician and singer-songwriter who achieved international fame as lead guitarist of The Beatles. Often referred to as "the quiet Beatle", Harrison became over time an admirer of Indian culture and mysticism, and introduced it to the other Beatles, as well as their Western audience. Following the band's break-up he was a successful solo artist, and later a founding member of the Traveling Wilburys. Harrison was also a session musician and a film and record producer. He is listed at number 11 in Rolling Stone magazine's list of "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".
Although most of The Beatles' songs were written by Lennon and McCartney, Beatle albums generally included one or two of Harrison's own songs, from With The Beatles onwards. His later compositions with The Beatles include "Here Comes the Sun", "Something" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". By the time of the band's break-up, Harrison had accumulated a backlog of material, which he then released as the triple album All Things Must Pass in 1970, from which two hit singles originated: a double A-side single, "My Sweet Lord" backed with "Isn't It a Pity", and "What Is Life". In addition to his solo work, Harrison co-wrote two hits for former Beatle Ringo Starr, as well as songs for the Traveling Wilburys—the supergroup he formed in 1988 with Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Roy Orbison.

Let me explain to you all a story where my mind is at
Where is that exact place? (Repeat 4x)
[Verse 1]
Comin' up, I'm a young Jet like J.J. the jet plane,
nigga
Now around this time, I'm like somewhere between five
and eight
Not the height though
So I'm barely gettin' off the training wheels
Remote controlled cars, playin' with the Tyco
Grew up with a pretty girl named Jasmine
Moved and met back in high school
Different story, this is back to when I was eight
Tryin' to buy that Sean Carter, volume 2
But my mommy didn't let me buy that because of the
parental advisory
Ooh... Nigga what, nigga who?
So you mean I can't play that?
Wrote down my first rhyme that my daddy recorded on the
A-Dat
Arlington Heights elementary, think I was A-Track (uhh)
I had a teacher in the fifth grade that said I would be
somethin'
If I paid attention (uhh)
I had a teacher in the fourth grade, read Harry Potter
To the whole class like classroom conduct
Eventually, I fell in love with the whole series
In which expanded my creativity not to mention
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
What's up, what's up, this is Audubon
A young scrub, I'm tryin' to prove I'm not
I met Jorge in the sixth grade playin' System of a Down
and Linkin Park on the drums
Word to Serj...
Brenner's Jimmy's cousin and I met him first
Yeah, woah what a first day, Royanae walks in
Pretty face, brown skin, look at her curves,
God...I think I'm gettin' into girls now
At this age how I look at the world now
Skip to the seventh grade and my homie Kevin told her
and I got turned down
So what... You know what the mission is
They've got drums, let me play, Mr. Merideth
In between flag football, broken arms, bee bee guns
Gotta get the waves for the heritage
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Ooooh, now we're in high school
Them girls is gettin' older, I'm tryin' to be that fly
dude
But I am too shy too... What's up
Throwin' passes, where your corners at?
Dreams of playin' quarterback since DB was at
quarterback
Learned to freestyle thinkin' I'm too cool for school
So I'm feelin' as smooth as Max
But that was after Tilly stated my name as Jet 2, in
fact
At the time, I was feelin' that, so I took it and ran
with it
Literally ran track with it, until I ran a track with
But back to them passes, it really didn't work out like
I visioned it
Long story short, I was shorter than the story is
So I didn't start at quarterback on varsity
But my football pads was all I needed, and DDP and
My spikes for track and a girl that went to Crenshaw
High School,
How swagged is that? Yeah!
