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".

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."

Saint Rita of Cascia (Born 1381 - May 22, 1457) was a Italian Augustinian widow and saint venerated in the Roman Catholic Church. Born near Spoleto, Italy, Rita was married at an early age to an abusive husband. The marriage lasted for 18 years, during which she is remembered for her Christian values as a model wife and mother who made efforts to convert her husband from his abusive behavior. Upon the murder of her husband by another feuding family, she sought to dissuade her sons from revenge.
Popular pious legend recalls that Rita was flown into the convent by Saint Nicholas of Tolentino, Saint John the Baptist and Saint Augustine, where she subsequently joined an Augustinian community of religious sisters. Rita was known for the apparent efficacy of her prayers and is venerated due to various miracles attributed to her intercession, and is often portrayed with a bleeding wound on her forehead, which the Roman Catholic Church claims to have been a partial stigmata.
The Roman Catholic Church, under the pontificate of Pope Leo XIII officially canonized Rita on May 24, 1900, while her feast day is celebrated every May 22. In many pious Catholic countries, Rita is known to be a patroness for abused wives and mourning women.
Well, she hobbled up the porch steps
With her crutches and her broken leg
She missed me with a smile, walked straight across my heart
And right on over to him
I said, "Rita, I tried to call you"
Tim looked at me and he said good night
I couldn't hold my tears as I stared up at the stars
In the August sky
I said, "Rita, won't you come on in?
Hey, Rita, child, now, where ya been?"
She looked out into the night
Through the broken porch screen
She said she thought that we were closer
She expected more from me
I said, "Now, honey, I thought about you
And all that you'd been through
But the day your daddy died
I just didn't know what to do
"Rita, I see our trust is gone
How long do we have to paay
For what's been left undone?"
Rita takes her sandals off
And walks barefoot in the grass
With one arm around my shoulder
As if she were using me for balance
I said, "Rita, I'd like to see you
Even if we're only friends
I know if you forgive me, Rita
I'll forget, and you'll remember
The radio's on, the song they play
Can't make no sense of what they say
I couldn't tell you if I knew
Don't understand most things I see
In the blue light of the TV
I couldn't tell you what to do
Rita, it all just seems too much
And sometimes maybe not enough
My head is so, so filled up
And Rita, I guess I think too much
Or maybe sometimes not enough
My head is always so filled up
I hold the phone close to my ear
Can't recognize the voice I hear
Couldn't remember what they said
The newspaper stacks up on the step
I can't believe how long I slept
Now why should I get out of bed
Rita, it all just seems too much
And sometimes maybe not enough
My head is so, so filled up
And Rita, I guess I think too much
Or maybe sometimes not enough
My head is always so filled up
There was a thing floating way up there
Was it a wish or another prayer
Nos fuimos con la reina de la ginebra.
Ella estaba en un bar, de carretera,
Pero de su nombre rita,
yo me acuerdo muy bien,
solo se que no la volvimos a ver,
Intento llevarme arriba por las escaleras,
tuvo que engancharze al cuello, mi borrachera,
estuvimos celebrando algo, no me preguntes que...
solo se que no podia estar de pie...
Fui arriba,
la cama de madera y un colchon,
Se bajo la escupidera y el calor,
empapando toda la cama de sudor....
Por la mañana desperte,
Confuso y pegajoso me duche...
Ella ya no estaba,
pero dejo algunas rosas,
en una botella vacia de vergel...
Por que Rita,
Rita es la reina de la ginebra,
te mira con una cierta tristeza,
t seguro que no la volvere a ver...
no, no, no...
Lay down softly in our sorrow
Lay down sister to die
And cover over, my sweet Father
Cover over her eyes
Your broken body, it cannot weather
The years your youth still longs to spend
So go down graceful, sleep with the angels
And wake up whole again
'Cause it was not your time; that's a useless line
A fallen world took your life
But the God that sometimes can't be found
Will wrap Himself around you
So lay down, sister, lay down
Slower passing are the hours
To tell this tale that takes its time
But the finest moment, no man can measure
Is to look your Savior in the eyes
So take her tender to Your table
Take her from this killing floor
To taste the water that is forever
Let her be thirsty no more
It was not her time; that's a useless line
A fallen world took her life
But the God that sometimes can't be found
Will wrap Himself around you
So lay down, sister, lay down
And the God that sometimes can't be found
Will wrap Himself around you
Rita, darling Rita, you're my treasure
Sweeter than the sweetest wine to me
You don't know just how much you give me pleasure
I measure eternally
Rita, Rita, i love you
Rita, Rita, i want you
Rita, Rita, Rita i love only you
Rita, Rita, it's you
Rita, darling Rita, don't deceive me
My love for you has never been so strong
Rita, darling Rita, please believe me
Don't leave me alone
Rita, Rita, i need you
Rita, Rita, i want you
Rita, Rita, Rita i love only you
