Luke Bryan (born July 17, 1976) is an American country singer. Bryan began his musical career in the mid-2000s, writing songs for Travis Tritt and Billy Currington. After signing with Capitol Records Nashville in 2007, he released the album I'll Stay Me, which included the singles "All My Friends Say", "We Rode in Trucks" and "Country Man". Followup album Doin' My Thing included "Do I", which Bryan co-wrote with Charles Kelley of Lady Antebellum, and the number one singles "Rain Is a Good Thing" and "Someone Else Calling You Baby". Tailgates & Tanlines, released in 2011, includes "Country Girl (Shake It for Me)" and his third number one, "I Don't Want This Night to End". Bryan co-wrote all of his singles with the exception of "Drunk on You" and co-produced all three albums with Jeff Stevens.
Bryan was born and raised in Leesburg, Georgia. At age fourteen, his parents bought him his first guitar, and after learning to play it, he joined various local bands and began to play in local clubs. After graduating Lee County High School, Bryan planned to move to Nashville, Tennessee; however, this move was delayed, due to the death of his brother, Chris, on the same day he planned to leave. Luke attended Georgia Southern University, and is a member of the Eta Zeta chapter of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. After graduation Luke went to work for his dad, despite everyone encouraging him to move to Tennessee. His dad encouraged him to relocate and he arrived in Nashville in 2001, signing a record deal only two months later.
Radric Davis (born February 2, 1980), better known by his stage name Gucci Mane, is an American rapper. He debuted in 2005 with Trap House and followed with albums such as Hard to Kill in 2006, Trap-A-Thon and Back to the Trap House in 2007. In 2009, his second studio album The State vs. Radric Davis was released, and The Appeal: Georgia's Most Wanted was released in 2010, and is his highest charting album so far. Gucci Mane has released many other mixtapes and independent albums as well.
While serving a six-month jail term for assault in late 2005, Davis was charged with murder, though the charges were later dropped due to a lack of evidence. In 2009, he served a year-long county jail sentence for violating probation for his 2005 aggravated assault conviction.
Davis was born in Birmingham, Alabama, and later moved with his single mother to Atlanta. He enjoyed writing poetry as a child, and began rapping at age 14.
In 2005, Davis released his independent debut album entitled Trap House, which featured the successful single "Icy" with Young Jeezy. Disputes over the rights to this single caused a rift between the two artists. Hard to Kill followed in 2006. Hard To Kill included the hit single "Freaky Gurl". The song peaked at number 12 on the Hot Rap Tracks, number 19 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and at number 62 on the Hot 100.
I wanna feel
I wanna try
I wanna rock in the city tonight
I wanna deal
don't wanna die
I wanna bring my captain hook into the light
people I've seen my day
ranting and raving this beauty away
we are by and large the same
but words are too feeble, they cannot contain
he was a "rock and roll messiah"
she was known for her childcare
the truth is gonna give up the world
if you can give up the stage
if I can give up the stage
if we can give up the stage
come to this,
I can't come to you don't do this,
wake me up tonight
come to this,
I can't come to you don't do this,
Maybe I'll rape you after school one day in March
Maybe I'll learn to scream the anger from your heart
You'll teach me math, we'll learn to play those stupid games.
A virgin bleeds, an angel screams from outer space
Oh, oh
Didn't want to make you suffer
Didn't want to make you cry
I just wanted to set your mind free
Didn't want to spread the lies
Maybe I'll rape you after school one day in March
Maynbe I'll learn to scream the anger from your heart
You'll teach me math, we'll learn the numbers and the signs
A virgin bleeds, an angel screams and I feel fine
Oh, oh
Be here love
And the world has come between us
And the world has come between us
Be here love
And the world has come between us
And the world has come between us
We are so right here
You are so young
Let's misbehave
And we'll find the edge of the world
Be here love
And the world has come between us
And the world has come between us
You are so right here
We are so young
Let's misbehave
And we'll find the edge of the earth
Be here love
And the world has come between us
And the world has come between us
Let's take a walk for a while
We'll find out all we missed
I've seen all the things you have done
Creations from my sins
You tried to find comfort in books
You tried to find comfort in sex
You haven't felt a love
Since you fell out of the best
So hold on
Let's take a walk for a while
We'll find out all we missed
I've seen all the things you have done
I killed all of the scientists
They tried to put numbers on life
They tried to put numbers on God
I haven't felt a love
Since you fell out of my arms
So hold on
I'm in love with a memory
I'm in love with your memory
Let's take a walk for a while
We'll find out all we missed
I brought the knife, I will use it
Oh so good
I'll find you, I swear I'll find you again
I hope you're swimming with virgins
I swear, I swear I'll find you again
I'll be the one with blonde hair
I've always wanted blonde hair
Going to find you there
To be like you
To be like this
Going to find you there
Going to be like this
Don't do this
To find you there
To speak to you
All the scientists say they want my hair
Going to be like this
Going to find you there
Going to be
Been like that, you suddenly realize it's over now
You're going to heaven alone
I see you there
I feel you there
I'm not sad anymore
I feel you here
You look like the one my life is about
The truth won't kill me, it will just knock me out
See I fell in love, when you were too young
Rubber bands are holding me together
I need the perfect smile for my mother
Look, we've done away with our disease
When I'm dead you'll know me by my teeth
Got my braces off of me this morning
I should have listened to the doctor's warning
Change my face, you call me names and tease
When you're dead I'll call you what I please
You're perfect now just smile
You're perfect now just smile
Rubber bands are holding me together
I need the perfect smile for my mother
Look, we've done away with our disease
When I'm dead you'll know me by my teeth
You're perfect now just smile
Listen to the insects
Prey on the enemy
For when you hunt the loved
You hunt yourself
When the feast is over
You're lying down to feel
You're crazy and so sore
I feel like now to stop
I felt like this once before
Listen to the insects
Prey on the enemy
For when you hunt the loved
You hunt yourself
When the feast is over
The pain begins and holds
Until you have
No more stomach to digest
We are falling from these rooftops
We are losing where we stand
All my lovers were forgotten
When I died right at your hands
Where were you when I was bleeding
Where were you the last three years
I have seen the world together
With my pen and all my tears
I will be something, thats's all
You will be nothing at all
I will be something, thats's all
You will be nothing at all
I am screaming from these rooftops
I am crying out demands
All my people are forgotten
All my friends are in this band
Where were you when I was teething
Where were you through my kid fears
Introduced me as an orphan
To all, all, all my family
I will be something, that's all
You will be nothing at all
I will be something, that's all
I hope that you missed me
I'm glad that you kissed me
I'll see you again when I die
Know that I missed you
Know that I'll kiss you
Whenever an angel flies by
Youre'crazy in bathtubs
Those innocent backrubs
Demons were scared of thee
I know it's confusing
I know it's amusing
The devil is inside of me
I know where you are
I know where you are
So thanks for my music
Know that I used it
I named every song after you
The guitar is stronger
I learned how to love her
The wood brings me closer to truth
I know where you are
I know where you are
I know where you are
We walk, we find
I dance by your inner mind
I just want to thank you
The pain made me stronger
The artist is what I will stay
Know I forgive you
I hope I outlive you
I'm glad that you stood in my way
I know where you are
I know where you are
I know where you are
I know where you are
Want to thank you
Send my regards to my brother down there
He walks by the ocean, the pain disappearsThe sky is now falling, heaven's unknown
And you find out the clouds were never alone
Send my regards to my lover down there
She sleeps by the music, she breathes in my air
The people are saying, the lost must be strong
But her ears are now ringing, her man of song
Will I remember your name
I don't know
Will I remember your name
I don't know
Send my regards to my mother down there
She gave me my name and my brown-colored hair
The man to my left says he's Moses in black
And the whole world is sad now, so I'm going back
Will I remember your name
I don't know
Will I remember your name
If I would die tomorrow
And you were finally free
I wouldn't feel a difference
If you would die with me
'Cause I'm already sad
And I'm already sad
Now that the war is gone
And the bodies left to die
A man looks up for his country
With the flag in his eyes
Oh, I know I'll find my direction home
Telling all your secrets
Watch them all grow old
Nevermind the reasons
Or why they're ever told
You my friends are sacred
So you my friends must die
A mand looks up from his country
Is the God we love alive?
Oh, I know I'll find my direction home
Oh, you loved the song of my direction home
We're all afraid our country is bleeding
We're all OK and no one is leaving
We're all the same and no one's leaving
We're breathing
We already lied tonight
We've already tried to fight
It's all the same
So why are you dreaming
We're all OK our country is bleeding
We're breathing
We already lied tonight
We already tried to fight
It's the song that makes you sad
To be loving the life like that
It's the man that makes you mad
It's the love you never had
We already lied tonight
We've already tried to fight
We are ready
I'm tired for sleep
We already lied
Science is dead
Jesus was a test tube baby
Science is read
A beaker was the Virgin Mary
Losing yourself
Burn all the sages remember
I am no dead
Come down the ancients before me
And it feels like science died
And it feels like science died
Science is dead
I feels like science died
And ie feels like science died
Maybe soon we'll ride to space again
