A governor (from French gouverneur) is a governing official, usually the executive (at least nominally, to different degrees also politically and administratively) of a non-sovereign level of government, ranking under the head of state. In federations, a governor may be the title of each appointed or elected politician who governs a constituent state.
In countries, the heads of the constitutive states, provinces, communities and regions may be titled Governor, although this is less common in parliamentary systems such as in some European nations and many of their former colonies, which use titles such as President of the Regional Council in France and Ministerpräsident in Germany, where in some states there are governorates (German: Regierungsbezirke) as sub-state administrative regions. Other countries using different titles for sub-national units include Spain and Switzerland.
The title also lies, historically, to executive officials acting as representatives of a chartered company which has been granted exercise of sovereignty in a colonial area, such as the British HEIC or the Dutch VOC. These companies operate as a major state within a state with its own armed forces.
"The Man" is a slang phrase that may refer to the government or to some other authority in a position of power. In addition to this derogatory connotation, it may also serve as a term of respect and praise.
The phrase "the Man is keeping me down" is commonly used to describe oppression. The phrase "stick it to the Man" encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means "fight back" or "resist", either openly or via sabotage.
The earliest recorded use[citation needed] of the term "the Man" in the American sense dates back to a letter written by a young Alexander Hamilton in September 1772, when he was 15. In a letter to his father James Hamilton, published in the Royal Dutch-American Gazette, he described the response of the Dutch governor of St. Croix to a hurricane that raked that island on August 31, 1772. "Our General has issued several very salutary and humane regulations and both in his publick and private measures, has shewn himself the Man." [dubious – discuss] In the Southern U.S. states, the phrase came to be applied to any man or any group in a position of authority, or to authority in the abstract. From about the 1950s the phrase was also an underworld code word for police, the warden of a prison or other law enforcement or penal authorities.
Plot
'The Old Ways' is a nightmare comedy about a world in which justice has been reduced to a grotesque spectacle. A young boy is to be hung for murder. For politically-motivated reasons, as elderly executioner has been chosen to preside over the ceremony despite the fact that he is woefully out of practice. As an audience of witnesses watches through a two-way mirror, the execution spirals out of the bumbling executioner's control, descending into a horrific farce.
Plot
1964, a village in Galilee. The Mukhtar collaborates with Israeli military rule. Someone is forging work permits, and the Mukhtar's son and a steady metalsmith, Mahmud, want to marry the same woman. These story lines cross when the village teacher is arrested and jailed for the forgeries, with the Mukhtar's approval. Mahmoud discovers who the real forger is and goes to the Mukhtar, whose son assumes Mahmud has come to denounce him. He sets off to burn down Mahmoud's house; tragedy follows. At Mahmud's side through his troubles is Mabruq, the village fool who, like others, particularly a young woman named Jamilah, still suffers from witnessing horrors in the 1948 war.

Bunuel's first feature has more of a plot than _Un chien andalou (1929)_ (qv), but it's still a pure Surrealist film, so this is only a vague outline. A man and a woman are passionately in love with one another, but their attempts to consummate that passion are constantly thwarted, by their families, the Church and bourgeois society.

quickly formed and raised for keeping more contained you shut it, you lock it but you haven't solved it three strikes, petty crime out of sight, out of mind repossess, relocate there's more than one way so don't talk to me about all you're gonna do and who you represent and how you'll see it thru i'm not buying what you're selling you're selling you and it just doesn't seem right you've done nothing but caused harm and you want praise and i'm not gonna take it away
Wait! There's something up ahead.
I've seen its claws I can see the marks it left.
Well fed and eating with a thousand hands.
This coma of factory and bars won't last
It's numbing power and it's never winding heart.
So climb what you can before it's gone
And always carry in your lungs
The prettiest voice from drowning as you drag this swamp
'Cause the smell will stay with you for so long
The past can only stretch for so long
The last can only stretch, so long so long so long
So we wait until it's overhead
Chorus:
I’ve got my business,
But sometimes is hard to handle this crazy life
Plus all these haters got me switching and the haters try to handle
Try to handle this crazy life
I’m riding on my own now
Got car and a crib, now
Got … don’ stop, no
A lot of pressure to keep it all together!
Got rumors of a lay off
I told the bill to let the hold off..
Another unexpected expense, it just don’t make sense.
Chorus:
I’ve got my business,
But sometimes is hard to handle this crazy life
Plus all these haters got me switching and the haters try to handle
Try to handle this crazy life
I’m hustling every way I can,
Got me working over time again
Can’t afford to take the day off
I need the money, recession got me hungry.
Try to make some extra cash this week
Cause my bank accounts looking weak
It’s getting hard to stand up on my feet
I’m just trying to maintain, and this don’t make sense!
Chorus:
I’ve got my business,
But sometimes is hard to handle this crazy life
Plus all these haters got me switching and the haters try to handle
Try to handle this crazy life
Oh, yeah, yeah and it’s crazy!
I swear it’s crazy!
I can’t walk to the mall,
Can’t walk to the mall!
Can’t talk to my cell phone at all, oh no!
Ain’t that crazy, ain’t that crazy!
I can’t do what I want to do
I can’t do! Can’t do what I want to do!
I can’t be with you, darling!
Ain’t that crazy! That’ crazy!

Oh, I’m getting tired, I’m getting tired!
Life is getting the best of me, I swear it’s kicking my ass,
Good Lord, don't know the pain
Sometimes women don't understand
What men be going through
When a good man is looking right at you
Ain't this ghetto for you baby, listen girl
I'm a son of pain, I was born to this game
At another age, wishing I could turn the page
At seven and four, mama pulled a trigger
And daddy couldn't figure how to stand arranged
[Incomprehensible] to say the least, got the rage of a beast
The pride of a warrior ain't afraid to come blazing for you
Sometimes I feel that my life is going up in smoke, trying not to choke
Cause death, it ain't no joke, oh, no, no no, no
You see [Incomprehensible], they came to sign on the lyrics
But what they saying if they had to live it
Most would fear and then erase the track
Ain't got the heart to spin it
You don't know the pain I feel
You don't know what it took
To blood, sweat & tears
This ghetto rain, can you feel my pain?
So tell me what do you know
About your alarm clock ringing
Five thirty in the morning, same old song you singing
It's the hell of waking up when you just went to sleep
You got to meet the man
'Cause your job you're trying to keep
But thirty percent of what you're making is already taken
It's the time for a race but the boss keeps on faking, oh girl
It's the survival of the fittest, ain't no rules to the spinners
So get what you can take, take what you can get
Counting on paper you ain't made yet
Oh, no, no, no, no
You see life is a gamble, are you willing to bet?
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
The choice is yours to choose
Oh, baby, what will you do?
You don't know the pain I feel
You don't know what it took
To blood, sweat & tears
This ghetto rain, can you feel my pain?
Can you feel my pain, baby?
All I wanna know, ain't this ghetto for you, yeah, yeah
Ain't this ghetto for you, yeah, hey
Ain't this ghetto for you, yeah, hey
Ain't this ghetto for you, yeah, hey
Good Lord
How can one country boy be so ghetto
Can you feel my pain, baby? Take it or leave it girl
Feel my pain, baby, take your girl and step off
I got everything on the line, I'm right here on the ground, trying to get it right
At least you could wish me luck
You can move the way, trying to get the day, I'm in another ...
At least you could wish me luck

Sure they're fine, Christmas ain't coming this pop's locked up
When they heard the worst, aces lost knocked up
Warfare an option, the feds come knocking
It's all fucked up, so wish me luck

When they get to stitching you, see

Hello.. [x9]
[T.I. - Verse 1]
Hey, what's happenin'?
It's been a minute, huh? I'm just hollerin'
How you doin?
It's been a minute since I seen ya,
I fell off for the scene,
Cuz it seem like you wanted other things than da king,
Why you fightin', fussin', cussin', and disagreein' wit da king?
When you got cribs, cars, bling, and a king wit da king?
Is the grass as green as it seemed in ya dreams,
Are you gettin all the things that you needed and I ain't bring,
Does it satisfy your self-esteem bein seen on da screen,
Is this new nigga the real thing or is just a lil' fling?
Did he buy a nice bracelet and get ya a lil' ring?
Or give you all the attention and the lil' things?
He know what to do with the stuff you stuff in them lil' jeans?
Do he stand up and lean in it 'til you start screamin'?
Or smack your ass and kiss your G-String to start eatin? (muah),
You get how you need it, not only when it's convenient,
I just pick up the phone and call you every week or two to let you know I miss you,
To see how that other nigga treatin' you.
[Hook - Governor]
I remember morning, noon, and night,
I used to hold you tight,
I know we used to fuss and fight ,
But I'm just calling to say (hello) Hello, (hello, oh baby)
See time has a funny way of keeping us close,
Even though we never stayed, toghether,
I just wanted to say (hello) hello (hello)
[T.I. - Verse 2]
Hello?
Ay, it's me,
Hey, what's happenin? How ya doin?
I know plenty of niggas pursuin' them panties, all for the screwin',
Fly you down to Miami,
Let you walk the red carpet wit a ? at da Grammys,
But I'm what he can never be, a boss, understand me?
He pose and take ? things he buy for ya,
He got you a rose, but that don't mean he'd die for ya,
Hey, maybe I got too much pride to cry for ya,
But not too much to call you and tell you that I adore ya,
And tell you how I'm missin you, lovin you, and kissin you,
And think about the good old days and wanna visit you,
This song I'd like to listen to whenever reminisicin' you,
You, stay on my mind nevermind how I picture you,
Think about the past and all the time that I spent witchu,
Rubbin on that ass from behind as I dig in you,
Never been a doubt in my mind that I was diggin' you,
How I love you shorty, you'll never find another nigga to
[Hook x1 - Governor]
[Governor - Verse 3]
Every now and then I think of you,
And I can't lie I be wantin' you,
But I understand that I'm not your man,
And I also know that the future's not in your hands
Every now and then I'd call you to say how you doin,
And baby I miss you,
Girl, this is just to say hello,
Hello Baby.
[Hook x1 Governor]
[Chorus]
Everytime we break up, its like we make up just to do it again
(Here we go again)
Tell me how I can prove to you, that your my closest friend
(Here we go again)
Everytime you pick up my phone, you starting sh-t again
(Here we go again)
I just wanna love you, don’t wanna fight cause I can’t win
(here we go again)
[50 Cent]
Why would I wanna fight with you
Beefing with you is worthless
Cause I think God made you for me
We match together perfect
You’re acting insecure
Why don’t you think I would stay with you
Girl if its up to me I’ll spend forever and a day with you
Engagement, ring ring, 10 carat bling bling
I be on that boss shit
I’ll BB on that boss shit
Benz’s, Porsches, Ferrari’s, Roll’s
I’ll let you drive em all
So we can have a ball
[Chorus]
Everytime we break up, its like we make up just to do it again
(Here we go again)
Tell me how I can prove to you, that your my closest friend
(Here we go again)
Everytime you pick up my phone, you starting sh-t again
(Here we go again)
I just wanna love you, don’t wanna fight cause I can’t win
(here we go again)
[50 Cent - Verse 2]
And again, you don’t hear me, when I talk to you
When bills come I pay the bills, I’m doing what I’m supposed to do
For Christs sake, give me a break
I shake the jake to get the cake
Thats why we straight I’m outta state
I’m putting food on our plate
The bickering make the love feel like hate
Your my soulmate, us being together is our fate
Leaving me would be a big mistake
Wrong move to make
Apart both of us would be in bad shape
[Chorus]
Your love compares to your love
Girl you take me higher
If you wanna fight me
Go head and fight me
Till you tire
I’m for you
You for me
In the end we gon see
You and me it’s meant to be
But as of right now, here we go again
"you know, life has a funny way of showing things sometimes...
(verse1)
It was standing room only, shoulder to shoulder in a crowded room,
when I saw her for the first time,
on a summer evening in June
She took my breathe away, stop my heart, and tore my world apart-
and I didn't even know her name.
what a hell of a way to start
I bought her a drink, we had a conversation that made me think,
could she be the one, to be my flowers, moon, stars and sun
That sweet summer breeze enough to bring a strong man to his knees
When I asked her her name she said "Please to meet ya',
My name is"...
(chorus)
Desitny... That means I'm the way.
Til ya can't push me away... (you can't push)
Destiny... I may not have been here yesterday,
but I been always on my way-
(verse2)
I took her for a walk down by the oceanside
she put her feet in the water-
She opened up to me, and started confessin'
There ain't nothin' harder...
Then to tell the truth, bout your secrets,
skeletons in your closet-
Things that God only know, sh*t that you ain't supposed to let go
But she said inside, she felt like that it was her duty
From now and ever more, to always be true to me
I asked her "Sweetie, why tryna talk to me. like you're my wife?"
She said I been tryna tell you my name all night,
but now hope you get it right... My name is...
(chorus)
Desitny... (Destiny, love you girl) That means I'm the way.
Til ya can't push me away...
Destiny... I may not have been here yesterday,
but I been always on my way- (I'm your)
Destiny... and the choice ain't even yours
ain't even yours to choose...(Love your)
Destiny... and I'm always with you,
whether you win, or you lose
(verse3)
It wasn't a year later, my heart jumped on that elevator
It took me straight upstairs to ask the man himself for
some consulation-
What am I to do? I got myself in a tight situation,
I know that I love her, but still I got a few inhibitions.
I don't wanna move to fast- and I don't wanna move to slow
but there so much about life, that I still just don't know
As I got up off my knees, and I ended my prayer
when I opened up my eyes, guess who was standing right there.(my)
(chorus)
Desitny... That means I'm the way.
Til ya can't push me away...
Destiny... I may not have been here yesterday,
but I been always on my way-(I'm your)
Destiny... and the choice ain't even yours
ain't even yours to choose...(Love your)
Destiny... and I'm always with you,
whether you win, or you lose
