Amethyst Amelia Kelly (born June 7, 1990), better known by her stage name Iggy Azalea is an Australian hip hop recording artist signed to Grand Hustle Records. She is perhaps better known for her promotional songs "Two Times", "Pu$$y" and "My World" whose music videos went viral on YouTube. On 27 September 2011, Azalea released her first project, a mixtape titled Ignorant Art, saying she made it "with the intent to make people question and redefine old ideals".
Iggy Azalea was born Amethyst Amelia Kelly in Sydney, Australia but moved with her family to Mullumbimby when she was still a baby, into a house on 12 acres that her father built by hand from mudbricks in New South Wales. Her father was a comic artist and painter and her mother a real estate agent. Azalea says her father "made her look at [art] as a teenager" which has always influenced her life and work.
Azalea began rapping at age 14. Azalea took her stage name from her family's dog while growing up. Before embarking on a solo career, Azalea formed a group with two other girls from her neighborhood: "I was like, I could be the rapper. This could be like TLC. I’ll be Left Eye." Azalea eventually decided to leave the group because the other girls weren’t taking it seriously: "I take everything I do serious. I’m too competitive."
John William "Johnny" Carson (October 23, 1925 – January 23, 2005) was an American television host and comedian, known for thirty years as host of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962–1992). Carson received six Emmy Awards, the Governor Award, and a 1985 Peabody Award. He was inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame in 1987. Johnny Carson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1992 and received a Kennedy Center Honor in 1993.
Although his show was already successful by the end of the 1960s, during the 1970s Carson became an American icon and remained so until his retirement in 1992. He adopted a casual, conversational approach with extensive interaction with guests, an approach pioneered by Arthur Godfrey and previous Tonight Show hosts Steve Allen and Jack Paar. Late night hosts David Letterman, Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien, Craig Ferguson, and Jimmy Fallon have all cited Carson's influence on their late-night talk shows, which resemble his in format and tone.
Carson was born in Corning, Iowa, in the year 1925, to Homer Lloyd "Kit" Carson, a power company manager, and Ruth Hook Carson, who was of Irish descent. He grew up in the nearby towns of Avoca, Clarinda, and Red Oak in southwest Iowa before moving to Norfolk, Nebraska, at the age of eight. At the age of twelve, Carson found a book on magic at a friend's house and immediately purchased a mail-order magician's kit. He debuted as "The Great Carsoni" at fourteen and was paid $3; many other performances at local picnics and country fairs followed.

I lost myself
But I found my way back
I found myself
In a place where I never would've thought of
Not ever
Pacing back and forth
Struggling to find
A place that is right
A face that is mine
But we're finally coming back around this time
I'll make an attempt to handle mine
We're finally coming back around this time
I'll make an attempt to handle mine
I lost myself
It took a while to get
Back on track
Searching for myself
In a place where I
Never would've thought of
Not ever
Pacing back and forth
Struggling to find
A face that is right
A place that is mine
But we're finally coming back around this time
I'll make an attempt to handle mine
We're finally coming back around this time
I'll make an attempt to handle mine
We're finally coming back around
Catch yourself before you hit ground
We're finally coming back around
Catch yourself before you hit ground
But we're finally coming back around this time
I'll make an attempt to handle mine
We're finally coming back around this time
So I have no intentions
to get this right when you
Just want, just want attention
we’ll fuss and fight
And that’s the way it goes, and that’s the way it goes
And that’s the way it goes, and that’s the way it goes
But in the night,
When you’re down and falling
I know that I’ll
Be the one your callin but
You’ll be fine,
You’ll be just as fine,
As you were the last time
When you crossed the line and
I’ll forget o yes I’ll forget
Cause these little things in life
They keep me moving forward
So I have no intentions,
If you’re gonna leave then just leave
Cause I’ll be better off oh,
I’ll be better off
Because in the night,
When you’re down and fallin
I know that I’ll
Be the one your callin but
You’ll be fine,
You’ll be just as fine
As you were the last time
When you crossed the line and
I’ll forget o yes I’ll forget
Cause these little things in life
They keep me moving forward
La da da dada da da
La da da dada da da
La da da dada da da
O ah O ah
You’ll be fine,
You’ll be just as fine
As you were the last time
When you crossed the line and
I’ll forget o yes I’ll forget
Cause these little things in life
I should’ve walked out when I had the chance
And even with my doubts I still took that chance
And now I’m wondering why
I wasted all this time
But when you looked at me it felt so right
It’s taking all of me to forget that night
But it’s over and done with I’ve said my goodbyes
There’s nothing left of it
And what would you say?
If I told you the truth that you were nothing but a mistake
And what could you do?
When I’m trying my best just to stay far away from you
And o it’s just my luck to end up with this
I always seem to run into loads of mess
And this is kind of sad
O but please don’t feel bad
Cause when I looked at you
Into your eyes
I didn’t see the truth I just saw lies
But it’s over and done with I’ve said my goodbyes
There’s nothing left of it
And what would you say?
If I told you the truth that you were nothing but a mistake
And what could you do?
When I’m trying my best just to stay far away from you
And would you do it again?
O no you messed up big time
And would you do it again?
O no
I should’ve known better
But I kept runnin around making the same mistakes
I should’ve known better
O well
I should’ve known better
But I kept runnin around making the same mistakes
I should’ve known better
O well
And what would you say?
If I told you the truth that you were nothing but a mistake
And what could you do?
I’m keeping a secret from myself
I’ve been fighting with myself for weeks
Get a hold of all my thoughts
Erase them
For they don’t mean a thing
I’ve been learning how to push them aside
It’s killin my self esteem
But I gotta do what is right
Cause these feelings they don’t mean a thing
O I’ll take them all back right now
O Woah but I don’t know how
What am I to do?
What have I gotten my self into?
I’ve gotta figure this out
Seems like there’s no way out
What am I to do?
What have I gotten my self into?
I’ve gotta figure this out
Seems like there’s no way out
From this
The repercussions of these words
They could easily break me in two
I’m getting a hold of all my thoughts
Like if you only knew
I am taking a drink of my pride
And tossing these thoughts away
Cause I gotta do what is right
And these feelings they don’t mean a thing
O atleast that’s what I’ll tell my self
O woah
What am I to do?
What have I gotten my self into?
I’ve gotta figure this out
Seems like there’s no way out
What am I to do?
What have I gotten my self into?
I’ve gotta figure this out
Seems like there’s no way out
From this
At least that’s what I’ll tell myself
I said at least that’s what I’ll tell myself
At least that’s what I’ll tell myself
At least that’s what I’ll tell myself (Background vocals)
What am I to do?
What have I gotten my self into?
I’ve gotta figure this out
Seems like there’s no way out
What am I to do?
What have I gotten my self into?
I’ve gotta figure this out
Seems like there’s no way out
What am I to do?
What have I gotten my self into?
I’ve gotta figure this out
I should’ve walked out when I had the chance
And even with my doubts I still took that chance
And now I’m wondering why
I wasted all this time
