Sinopia
Sinopia (also known as sinoper, named after the Turkish city Sinop) is a dark reddish-brown natural earth pigment, whose reddish color comes from hematite, a dehydrated form of iron oxide. It was widely used in classical antiquity and the Middle Ages for painting, and during the Renaissance it was often used for the cartoon or preparatory drawing for a fresco. The word came to be used both for the pigment and for the preparatory drawing itself. During the Middle Ages synopia in Latin and Italian came to mean simply a red ochre. It entered the English language as the word sinoper, meaning a red earth color.
Sinopia pigment
From Ancient times through the Renaissance, the pigment was mined in Cappadocia, and exported to Europe through the port of Sinop, a Greek colony on the Black Sea. The pigment was valued for its quality and the genuine product was marked with a seal to show its authenticity.
In the Renaissance "sinopia" or "sinoper" meant any of a range of different shades and hues, and the color had a variety of names; it was sometimes called Venetian red, or Terra di Siena (Sienna earth), or Ocra rosso (red orchre). The color shown in the box above is one more recent commercial variety of the color.

The Power
by: Snap![Foreign content]
I've got the power, hey, yeah, hey
Like the crack of the whip, I snap attack
Front to back in this thing called rap
Dig it like a shovel, rhyme Devil on a Heavenly level
Bang the bass, turn up the treble
Radical mind day and night all the time
Seven, fourteen, wise, divine
Maniac, brainiac, winning the game
I'm the lyrical Jesse James
Oh, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, gettin' kinda heavy
It's getting', it's getting', it's gettin' kinda heavy

Quality, I possess something, I'm fresh
When my voice goes through the rest
Of the microphone that I am holdin'
Copy written lyrics so they can't be stolen
If they are snap
Don't need the police to try to save them
Your voice will sink, so please, stay off my back
Or I will attack and you don't want that
(I've got the power)
