Boys & Girls Clubs of America (or BGCA) is a national organization of local chapters which provide after-school programs for young people. The organization, which holds a congressional charter under Title 36 of the United States Code, has its headquarters in Atlanta, with regional offices in Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, New York City and Los Angeles. BGCA is tax-exempt and partially funded by the federal government.
The first Boys' Club was founded in 1860 in Hartford, Connecticut. In 1906, 53 independent Boys' Clubs came together in Boston to form a national organization, the Federated Boys' Clubs. In 1931, the organization renamed itself Boys' Clubs of America, and in 1990, to Boys & Girls Clubs of America. There are currently (2010) over 4,000 autonomous local Clubs, which are affiliates of the national organization. In total these Clubs serve over four million boys and girls. Clubs can be found in all fifty states as well as locations in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and US Military Bases. In total, Boys & Girls Clubs of America employ about 50,000 staff members.

He first rose to prominence when he joined the cast of the medical drama, St. Elsewhere, playing Dr. Philip Chandler for six years.

LeBron Raymone James (/ləˈbrɒn/; born December 30, 1984) is an American professional basketball player for the Miami Heat of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Nicknamed "King James", he was a three-time "Mr. Basketball" of Ohio in high school, and was highly promoted in the national media as a future NBA superstar while a sophomore at St. Vincent – St. Mary High School. He was selected with the number one pick in the 2003 NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers. Listed as a small forward, James has set numerous youngest player records since joining the league. He was named the NBA Rookie of the Year in 2003–04, was named the NBA Most Valuable Player in 2009, 2010, and 2012 and has been both an All-NBA selection and an All-Star every season since 2005. In 2010, a much-publicized free agency process ended with James signing with the Miami Heat.
James led the Cleveland Cavaliers to consecutive playoff appearances from 2006 through 2010. In 2007, the Cavaliers advanced to the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history, but lost to the San Antonio Spurs. In 2011, James and the Miami Heat advanced to the NBA Finals but lost to the Dallas Mavericks. James has been a member of the USA national team, winning a bronze medal at the 2004 Olympics and gold at the 2008 Olympics.
Jennifer Lynn Lopez (born July 24, 1969) is an American actress, businesswoman, dancer and recording artist. Often referred to as J.Lo, she is reportedly the highest earning actress of Latin descent. Born and raised in The Bronx, New York, she enrolled in singing and dancing classes as a child and grew up in a musically influenced household. She started her career as a fly girl on the television comedy program In Living Color and a back-up dancer for Janet Jackson. Lopez gained recognition in the action-thriller Money Train (1995). Her first leading role was in the biographical film Selena (1997), which was her breakthrough role, earning her an ALMA Award for Outstanding Actress and Golden Globe nomination. She earned her second ALMA Award for her performance in Out of Sight (1998), which made her the highest-paid Latin actress. She has since appeared in various films including The Cell (2000), The Wedding Planner (2001), Maid in Manhattan (2002), Shall We Dance? (2004), Monster-in-Law (2005), The Back-up Plan (2010) and What to Expect When You're Expecting (2012).
Misty Copeland (born September 10, 1982) is an American ballet dancer, described by many accounts as the first African American female soloist for the American Ballet Theatre (ABT), one of the three leading classical ballet companies in the United States (along with New York City Ballet and San Francisco Ballet). However, Anne Benna Sims and Nora Kimball, who were with the ABT in the early and mid 1980s respectively, preceded her. In this role as the third African-American soloist and first in two decades with ABT, she has endured the cultural pressure associated with it.
Copeland is considered a prodigy who rose to stardom despite not starting ballet until the age of 13. By age 15, Copeland's mother and ballet teachers, who were serving as her custodial guardians, fought a custody battle over her. Meanwhile, Copeland, who was already an award-winning dancer, was fielding professional offers. The 1998 legal proceedings involved filings for emancipation by Copeland and restraining orders by her mother. Both sides dropped legal proceedings, and Copeland moved home to begin studying under a new teacher who was a former ABT member.

If that's your man
I'm not impressed
You did your best
But you failed the test
It's him you'll kiss
But me you'll miss
So here's a tip
You'll never feel no lips like this
Boys and girls will all be watchin'
When I step in the room
I'll be comin round the corner
To get one last peek a boo
You made your choice
You made it quick
This time next year
You might need my
Here goes my card
So call me soon
I know you will
Cause we just kissed in the back room
Hook 2 times
Girl I want to be your everything
Just like your fantasy
Girl I'm not gonna be no memory
I got to be your only fantasy
Girl I want to be your everything
Just like your fantasy
Girl I'm not gonna be no memory
I got to be your only fantasy
Lying in bed, touching my skin
Oh God I wish you weren't sleeping
I long for your lips, to kiss me again
Don't you know my body's aching?
Seems we always have a little price to pay,
Price to pay, I'm Falling in love
It all starts, starts to fade
Bad girls, and bad little boys
Won't last forever
But Good girls, and good little boys
Will make love together
I look at your face, As I lie awake
Our bodies slowly moving closer
My hand on your leg
My mouth on its way
Oh baby, I'll just turn you over
Seems we always have a little price to pay,
Price to pay, (uh) I'm Falling in love
It all starts, starts to ache
Bad girls, and bad little boys
Won't last forever
But Good girls, and good little boys (boys)
Will make love together...
Love together, love together,
Love together, love together,
Love together...
Do you like this? I like this
I want you alright
Do you wanna touch me?
I like this
Can you handle this?
I like this
We've gotta slow it down,
Just a little bit
I'm lying in bed, touching my skin
I just can't take it baby
Open your eyes, whisper to me..
Do it again, do it again
Bad girls, and bad little boys
Won't last forever
But Good girls, and good little boys (boys)
Will make love together
Bad girls, and bad little boys
Won't last forever
But Good girls, and good little boys (boys)
Will make love together
Love together, love togther,
Love together...
That's good, do you like this?
Yeah, gonna slow it down
We'll make love together
Boys, go and shine up your shoes
Girls, run and powder your nose
'Cause tonight you'll be shaking
From your head down to your toes
Well feeling your cool is as good as looking it
Thinking you're cool is as good as knowing it
Playing it cool is as good as blowing it
You know you can't spend a dollar, if you
Ain't got a dime
You can't hook a fish if you ain't got a line
You won't catch the bus if you're not there in time
So go read up your books and sharpen your hooks
Then all you need is money
And a mouth full of honey
And if you play your cards right
After dancing all night
You won't have to walk home alone
You won't have to walk home alone
Boys, you can hang loose and slip up real cool
But if your lady has a love noose she might never let you go
And if you think maybe you're too young
And you just can't cope, just grab a razor sharp
Pair of cutting shears and cut a hole right in the rope
Snip a hole right in the rope
Boys, go and shine up your shoes
Girls, run and powder your nose
'Cause tonight you'll be shaking
From your head down to your toes
Well if you wake up tomorrow morning
Can't remember what you did
Just ring up some of your friends
And they'll tell you just how low you slid
Oh don't be ashamed of anything you hear
After all you can't be blamed when you're drinking
So much beer
Hey, don't worry that what you did just wasn't right
Just remember, brothers and sisters
After every day's another night
After every day's another night
Boys, go and shine up your shoes
Girls, run and powder your nose
'Cause tonight you'll be shaking
From your head down to your toes
Boys, go and shine up your shoes
Girls, run and powder your nose
'Cause tonight you'll be shaking
ta la la la...

I'm looking in the mirror and I think I'm liking what I see,
Big, pink lights shining bright like I'm on the TV,
My heart pumps as the bass drum thumps,
You gotta move when the floorboard jumps,
Somethings going on and I think it's going on right now.
All the boys and the girls they've got it going on,
And when the beat kicks in you feel it in your bones,
When the basement packs and the needle drops,
You can't turn back and you just can't stop.
All the boys and the girls (you know you just can't stop) x2
All the boys and the girls
I can see the silhouettes dancing up against the wall,
It sure feels good, feels good, yeah we're gonna lose control,
Turn it on, make it strong, a good beat never hurt no one,
Kicking up the dust and we're making every move we know, yeah
All the boys and the girls they've got it going on,
And when the beat kicks in you feel it in your bones,
When the basement packs and the needle drops,
You can't turn back and you just can't stop.
All the boys and the girls (you know you just can't stop) x4
Wooh ooh, baby don't stop,
Wooh ooh, keep the vibe up,
Wooh ooh, baby don't stop,
Wooh ooh, keep the vibe up.
Turn it on, make it strong, a good beat never hurt no one, yeah.
All the boys and the girls they've got it going on,
And when the beat kicks in you feel it your bones,
When the basement packs and the needle drops,
You can't turn back and you just can't stop.
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby...
She wants to go fast
And never come back
And never collapse
And he's a real animal
Gone out of control
Who'd rather die young than get old
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby...
(And they danced like they were...)
Boys and girls
They dance like it's the end of the world
Boys and girls
They dance, dance, dance
Boys and girls
Who know it's the end of the world
Boys and girls
They dance, dance, dance
She's in designer jeans
On amphetamines
And wants you badly
And he's a real cannibal
And suicidal
Eratic on heavy metal
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby...
(And they danced like they were...)
Boys and girls
They dance like it's the end of the world
Boys and girls
They dance, dance, dance

Oh why can't we be best friends anymore?
They say a friend ain't to be
Between a girl and a boy
I don't know who said it
Or why it got to be so wrong
Oh why don't you call, don't you care anymore
It's not fair
Don't let'em get you
It took us both and now I gotta fix you
Well I don't know how to fix you
You say it's just the way it's got to be, but how so?
Why?
Is an awful lot of question
And I can't give me no answer
I keep wondering on
Oh why can't you see that I'm not trying be no kind of bother
I'm just trying to save what was left between you and me
Where we left it before they took it
And took it all and took off
Oh why did I let them drive a wedge between
Well I watched it, and I didn't say nothing
And now I'm cryin when I sleep
Now I'm sayin, I'm prayin, to that sweet melody in my soul
Why?
Is an awful lot of question
And I can't give me no answer
I keep wondering on
I wanna know, who said it
Boys girls
Oh oh oh
Are you ready

We're the cause of it and we don't give a shit
Cause nothing can save our lives
We know we know
Nothing can save our lives
[Hook]
I just lie awake and think of pleasant nights we'd
spend
Under summer's magic spell
But when autumn came, her love did not remain
And made my world a living hell
[Verse 1: TiRon]
Boy meets girl. Boy really likes her.
Boy’s fallin’ in love; nothing can come between ‘em.
But girl kinda likes him.
So every time she sees him she leave him heartbroken
Cause Boy’s soft spoken,
So Girl manipulates him with make up to break-ups
Cause Boy ain’t got his cake up and can’t take her
shoppin’.
So Boy’s self conscious,
So every little bit he get he’s emptying his pockets to
spend it on She,
But she don’t see a future with him cause Girl’s kinda
stuck up.
But through all of the fits, shit, Boy still loves her.
And Boy still committed but Girl ain’t with it.
So she don’t visit that much
And he ain’t got a whip so they don’t get to kick it.
So Boy misses Girl, but Girl stays distant.
Phone calls shorter than a midget, now he gets it.
But can’t let go, cause every time she tries to end it
Boy tries to fix it.
Cause Boy wants to stick it out.
Girl’s tryin to kick him out,
But Boy’s trying to figure out
Just how to make it work cause
Boy ain’t never had love.
But She don’t really have love,
So they don’t really have love.
Pretending like it hurts her to leave him.
So Girl’s crying while listing her reasons;
Believing all the shit she shoveling.
Love is dyin' hon, and I ain’t trying to fight to get
you,
Whining with a sheet of tissue.
I’m done darlin’ cause all this bawlin won’t convince
you but…
[Hook]
I think about it sometimes...
[Verse 2: TiRon]
Boy meets Girl. Girl really likes him.
Boy say the same, but that ain’t quite the case.
See cause lately he acts like maybe it can’t be.
So Girl’s to the back right next to the ex’s
But he keeps messin’ with her cause he digs her.
But not enough to be her main nigga just enough to dig
her out
But Boy don’t ever say it whenever she kick it with him
So she considers him hers and never figures it out.
But he don’t see a future with her cause Boy’s kinda
fucked up.
But through all of the using, shit, Girl still loves
him.
And Girl still likes him, but she ain’t in his sights
So whenever she’s around its only on late nights.
So Boy keeps dicking her and Girl gets addicted.
And Girl’s still down but Boy don’t want her around
Whenever his boys visit to kick it so now she gets it.
But can’t let go cause Girl thinks she can fix it.
Cause Girl wants to be his only, Boy wants to be the
homie
But Girl’s lonely and bonin’ her just makes it worse
Cause Girl ain’t really like that.
And he don’t really like her.
And she ain’t into night caps.
And having casual sex ain’t connecting.
So Girl’s second guessing why she kept him
Believing all that shit he told her.
I know you over me and I ain’t trying to make excuses.
It wasn’t cute and I’m sorry I didn’t have the juice to
give you the truth but…
[Hook]
Babies climbed up on His knee, He said "Let them come to
Me."
Little ones believe--Boys & Girls can see
The man said, "Take them all away, we've got important
things to do today,
But little ones believe, Boys & Girls can see,
And I could see the world turn around
If I could live my life like that,
If we could live our lives like--Boys & Girls
Big men reach for the stars, spend tim on toys and cars
Politics and war and money from the poor
But the Kingdom belongs to a little child
And I don't wonder why
Cuz little ones believe Boys & Girls can see
God came down and died for kids like you and me
