Mecca ( /ˈmɛkə/; Arabic: مكة, Makkah, pronounced [ˈmækːɐ]) is a city in the Hejaz and the capital of Makkah province in Saudi Arabia. The city is located 70 km (43 mi) inland from Jeddah in a narrow valley at a height of 277 m (909 ft) above sea level. Its resident population in 2012 was 2 million, although visitors more than triple this number every year during Hajj period held in the twelfth Muslim lunar month of Dhu al-Hijjah.
As the birthplace of Muhammad and a site of the composition of the Quran, Mecca is regarded as the holiest city in the religion of Islam and a pilgrimage to it known as the Hajj is obligatory upon all able Muslims. The Hijaz was long ruled by Muhammad's descendants, the sharifs, either as independent rulers or as vassals to larger empires. It was absorbed into Saudi Arabia in 1925. In its modern period, Mecca has seen tremendous expansion in size and infrastructure. Because of this Mecca has lost many thousand years old buildings and archaeological sites. Today, more than 15 million Muslims visit Mecca annually, including several million during the few days of the Hajj. As a result, Mecca has become one of the most cosmopolitan and diverse cities in the Muslim world, although non-Muslims remain prohibited from entering the city.
Naqa or Naga'a (Arabic: النقعة an-Naqʿa) is a ruined ancient city of the Kushitic Kingdom of Meroë in modern-day Sudan. The ancient city lies about 170 kilometers north-east of Khartoum and about 50 kilometers east of the Nile River. Here smaller wadis meet the Wadi Awateib coming from the center of the Butana plateau region and further north at Wad ban Naqa from where it joins the Nile. Naqa was only a camel or donkey's journey from the Nile, and could serve as a trading station on the way to the east so had strategic importance.
Naqa is one of the largest ruined sites in the country and indicates an important ancient city once stood in the location. It was one of the centers of the Kingdom of Meroë, which served as a bridge between the Mediterranean world and Africa.
The site has two notable temples, one devoted to Amun and the other to Apedemak which also has a Roman kiosk nearby.
The first European travelers reached Naqa in 1822, including Hermann von Pückler-Muskau in 1837. In 1843, it was visited by Richard Lepsius and his Prussian Egypt-Sudan expedition. He copied some of the inscriptions and representations of the temple standing here. In 1958 a team from Berlin's Humboldt University visited Naqa and documented the temple and restored part of the site along with the nearby site of Musawwarant es Sufra in the 1960s.
We've all lost somebody
Close to us we love dearly,
Hard to discuss but
I done lost a few were close near me.
I know the times were hard,
Felt no one on ur side.
I wish he talked about it
Instead he took his life.
And now we all hurt,
Teary eyed and askin why?
His momma cryed,
And I can try to say its Alright.
But deep inside Im hurtin,
So whats I spose to do?
Cuz I wish he woulda thought of
what he'd go and put us through.
We mourn his death.
But more importantly rejoice his life.
We laugh at pictures,
And forget about the stress n strife.
We tell our stories bout him
Like “dogg remember when?”
The memorys and thoughts
My God its like they'll never end.
But that's a good thing,
Cuz even though he gone from us.
He in our hearts and
Anytime he never far from us.
So take the time
And remember those we have lost.
No longer with us but
Never ever have we forgot.
[REFRAIN:]
Take time to remember cuz you by my side.
Take time to remember how you touched my life.
Take time cuz we always gone miss you,
Anytime, Anywhere, cuz our thoughs are always with you.
[REPEATED]
Dark times, dark skys,
While the rain drops.
It hides the tears and
I pray to make the pain stop.
I even plea bargain,
Beg to God to bring him back.
If times were like they were
Then I wouldn't have to sing this track.
But I can't change what happens,
Only deal with what life gives me.
I ask my father and
I hope he's proud of the life I'm living.
I hope he can forgive me,
For the wrongs I have committed.
Its been so many years
And damn homie I still miss him.
I make this song for all of ya'll
Who ever lost some body.
Your mother, brother, sister, lover,
Best friend, uncle, cousin.
And it don't matter how they lost life,
The point is,
That they memory will live on
Through rejoicing.
Don't be afraid to talk to em,
I promise that they hear you.
You didn't get to say good-bye?
Say it now, they right near you.
So take a minute,
Think about it and remember them.
I know it can be hard
But I promise that you'll meet again.

[Chorus:]
I don't... I don't need your VIP
I'll post up in the parkin' lot.
Post up in the parkin' lot
Post up in the parkin' lot [x4]
[J. Cash:]
Rider lookin so clean
Chevy lookin so mean
Sittin on some colored glass
Like a bottle of some Sobe
I'm at the club you know me
White Tee and Chuck Taylors
LA hat is to the back
The bouncers bein straight haters
Tellin me I can't come in
I gotta meet the dress code
But I don't do that silk shit
These dudes lookin like straight hoes
Gotta have a collared shirt
Naw homie I hate those
Said, "well those the rules" so bump that homie I'm a
break those
Chevy with the Lambo doors and it got the popped trunk
Black and white paint job air brushed sayin "GOT DONKS?
Speakers bumpin Lil' Boosie tellin me to swerve on em
Everybody goin wild parkin on the curb on em
Standin on the roof of the brand new Escalade
I don't need no VIP cause I'm already playa made
And I don't want nobody tellin me what I can and can't
So I'm a post up in the parkin' lot and act a straight
fool
[Chorus x4]
[Calliko:]
(I bring the party to ME!)
I refuse to take my fitted off and spend up on the
cover charge
I ain't puttin on no button up to get up in the club at
I sip until my cup is gone,
Smoke until the butt is off, and
Post up in the parkin' lot and wait up on the club to
close
I can't get up in VIP, I ain't showin no ID
But I brought all the Shawtys so I'm a bring the party
straight to me
They hate to see me pullin up
The speakers poundin' loud as fuck
Roundin up they chicks cause they insist on ridin out
with us
They wanna see ferreal that's straight
Hope off in the Chevrolet
I tell em bring they friends and let em know that we
got extra space
Them bitches hate then let em hate
Don't feed into they jealousy
They made cause you in the position that they'll never
So let em be, make yourself at home up on these leather
seats
Together we can roll out and just zone out to this
melody
Sky Skrapin Entertainment, hooked up with them 80's
babies
You can't be in the parkin' lot without hearin somebody
sayin...
[Chorus x4]
[Jon Young:]
I don't need a club to meet hoes
So what I gotta dress up for?
I'm here to throw some fuckin bows
And act a fool with my folks
They playin trap shit but scared to let the trappers in
It's packed in with fake cats
So why I wanna chill with them?
I'd rather post up in the parkin' lot and let loose
Got that king kong in the trunk, bangin them raw tunes
There ain't no cover charge
There ain't no dress code
The chick still shakin that ass man it's a free show
Donk riders in they whips show stoppin
Got the folks standin in line, starin and whatchin
Even got the Reaggeton chicks turnin heads
Got they mans all heated I can see em turnin red
Man fuck VIP it's a waste if you ask me
You blowin hunnies just to get up in some hoes jeans?
Shit I could get a chick walkin down the block bitch
It don't need your VIP I'll post up in the lot bitch!
[Chorus]
If you can do it like you do it on the dance floor
I ain't eva eva eua let you go
No more waitin Shawty
(put it on me)
If you can do it like you do it on the dance floor
I ain't eva eva eva let you go
No mo waitin Shawty
Come on and put it on me
[Verse 1 - Jon Young]
Shawty put it down on the floor like pro never really
seen till I got bo fo,
The way she got low I can never swear she was sitting,
Underneath there where I want to be gettin, she's so
smooth like butter on hot bread.
Shawty thinking like whats she like in the bed.
Vision in my head thats around like a sugarplum.
I can't wait till the moment that she puts it on,
I real really want to dip out a year let me know if
thats cool.
I gotta know what I'm seeing is for real and there's
only one way to really find out if it's real.
[Chorus]
[Verse 2 - J. Cash]
No lie I'm hypnotized by your moves in my mind what we
can do late night yea year miss the round to come
without your clothes without menaless and nice to
conversatin about working my tatoos rub it on your arms
and your body feel so smooth and we do it from the left
to right,
While I whisper in your ear all the things we can do
tonight.
I see you smilling it's OK let your mind wonder.
I got a few things but let my self ponder.
Can you work it just the same, when we all alone,
Cause honestly girl you got my mind blowing you just
moan as you just back it up on me and I'm thinkin about
what we goin to see.
It's goin to be so amazing even breath taking wanna
know how I know it.
(it's got your baby shaking)
I can't take it I wanna know now.
Can you do it just when the lights all the way down,
Can you grind, can we make you so happy,
Can you move up and down like you do when you're pole
dancing, is it true?
I gotta find out now.
So I can know what you're just all about now and if it
is you ain't ever going be lonely, so more waiting,
Shawty put it on me.
[Chorus: x2]
Yeah We Put 'em in the game
Then we hit the block with 'em
We run them thangs down in florida
Ain't no top in em
We got them burps lookin so dunktastic
Orange down to dade, FLA we the baddest.
[Hook:]
Mayne that dunk dunktastic
The box chevyrific
The olds' cuttacular
The 'lac caddylicious
They put em in the game
They got the fresh paint
They got em raised up
They did the damn thang
[Jon Young:]
Yeah it's about that time
Classic weekend round the corner
Made some changes to the O
Since I took it to daytona
New paint, switch the guts
Raised it up a little high
Got a fresh set of shoes
Trade it at the dade and y's
Now I'm sittin on some floaters
I'm lookin nasty
Got em brand we on the roof
I keep it classic
Never to flashy we do em right
Florida boys got the whip game sowed up tight
[Chorus]
[J. Cash:]
Ay we put em in the game last minute of the fourth
quarter
Made the trip from texas had to hit em with the slab
hurter
Oh you ain't heard of me oh hell well that's refered to
I'm j.cash I'm sure you see me swervin on these city
streets
I roll on 22's I stroll on 13 inches
I sky scrap up on them bitches and I be hittin switches
I get my swang on my trunk got king kong
I get my bang on my riders this is your song
She think you hatin me
Cause dawg they ain't fazin me
I'm in the new school one second next I'm in the 83
The coupe deville 90'd out
Or maybe in the chevy
Put me in mayne
[2x]
If I die young
bury bury me in satin
lay me down on a bed of roses
sink me in the river at dawn
send me away with the words of a love song
now, this is dedicated
to the ones that lost they lives
a little to early
to the families out there still in pain
I know that yall still hurtin
losin loved ones
young daughters and sons
no longer with us
to the souljas overseas
neva comin home to they families
we grieve but it really don't get no better
their candle went out too soon
so much to live for still
just built the baby's room
last year he was the groom
and now his should is set free
but still alive in your mind
when u lay down to sleep
they never really gone
take time like cash said
they livin in our hearts
I know it I can feel em there
they lookin down upon us
guidin us through all the struggles
helpin us to find
all the pieces of this puzzle
yeah,
the pains double when it's
someone so young
but they goin live through us
so they can see how it's done
yea all the tears and the fun
and everything in between
we raise a glass in the air
for the ones no longer seen
if I die young
bury bury me in satin
lay me down on a bed of roses
sink me in the river at dawn
send me away with the words of a love song
life ain't always what you
think it ought to be, no
ain't even grey,
but she buries her baby
the sharp knife of a short life, well
Now I cant understand
why the lord is taken there kids
so many kidnappings and murders
right here around my where i live
let alone the rest of the world
my heart goes out to that girl
so RIP little caylee
how could this happen to a baby
I get so sick of this place
but I try to focus on the good
but it's hard when you lose someone
way sooner than you probably should
if I could I'd take
all the pain away
no more funerals or visitin
cemetarys on holidays
I just wanna drift away
from all the pain that we feelin
man it's been 10 years since
chris died I'm still healin
one of the first dudes to
push me in this rappin
I'll neva forget
we shed so many tears
so tragic
you and your brother passin
how could this happen
you still here though
everytime I layin down a track man
I gotta keep it crackin
I know that was ya dream
I do it for the ones that are no longer seen
the sharp knife of a short
life, well,
I've had just enough time
[2x]
If I die young, bury bury me in satin
lay me down on a bed of roses
sink me in the river at dawn
send me away with the words
