The National Football League (NFL) is the highest level of professional American football in the United States, and is considered the top professional American football league globally. It was formed by eleven teams in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association, with the league changing its name to the National Football League in 1922. The league currently consists of thirty-two teams from the United States. The league is divided evenly into two conferences – the American Football Conference (AFC) and National Football Conference (NFC), and each conference has four divisions that have four teams each, for a total of 16 teams in each conference. The NFL is an unincorporated 501(c)(6) association, a federal nonprofit designation, comprising its 32 teams.
The regular season is a seventeen-week schedule during which each team plays sixteen games and has one bye week. The season currently starts on the Thursday night in the first full week of September and runs weekly to late December or early January. At the end of each regular season, six teams from each conference (at least one from each division) play in the NFL playoffs, a twelve-team single-elimination tournament that culminates with the championship game, known as the Super Bowl. This game is held at a pre-selected site which is usually a city that hosts an NFL team.

Color so warm
As the summer sun goes down
You are there you are there
Walls broken down
My soul cries out for you
You're aware you're aware
Whispers in the night
Calling my name I feel the light
On me now I hear you
Whispers in the night
Pieces of this dream
Don't fit as they would seem
But you care I know you care
And through it all
I know your love
Is a constant stream
Seeking places in our hearts
Whispers in the night
Calling my name I feel the light
On me now I hear you
Whispers in the night
When I don't hear a sound
I cry hysterically
I loosen from my ground
And think pathetically
Because the voice I long
to hear is yours
Colors so warm
As the summer sun invades
You are there you are there
Words you spoke in the night
Sustain me through the day
You are there you are there
Whispers in the night
Dust from the desert road
Settles on the plain
It looks just the same
As a road traveled before
And there in the distance
Sits a man I've seen before
He's just to hard to ignore
And He slowly speaks to me
OOOh I can feel the warmth
When I look inside deep inside
your fire eyes
OOOh I can see the rage
Through a burning love
deep inside your fire eyes
Show me your world
Hidden within yourself
Knowledge on the shelf
Can't compare to what you know
Give me your peaces
Ask me what you will
I'm eager to tell
Of all you've done for me
He said scream
Then reach out and touch the sky
Where all things try
And dreams melt into one
He said cry
When you face the night alone
And find that black stone
Which slowly replaced your heart
Chorus
Soon maybe quicker then soon
There will come a day
Where the dawn is like night
And the heat of the Sun
Will make us wish it would go away
Think real think hard
Do we just surrender
To the conscience of the few
Think hope think about forever
Do we just surrender
To a world we never knew
OOOh for the love of the big dollar
The sea rages
As it gives up it's precious treasure
And the sky has opened wide
Leaving us no places to hide
Think real think hard
Do we just surrender
To the conscience of the few
Think hope think about forever
Do we just surrender
To a world we never knew
Paint a picture
of the western shore
This faith within me
Like the sea you
just can't ignore
The wind surrounds me
Like the spirit from above
It will toss and turn me
And shape me into a
tower of love
Oh men of power who
rocks the boulevard
Work until the hour
where life's end
means a new reward
Paint a picture
Of the eastern skyline
The sun, the moon, and the stars
Which gave us all the sign
Oh men of power who
rocks the boulevard
Work until the hour
where life's end
means a new reward
One big sky, one big hope
Two forgotten memories
Own dark question
one bright truth
His answer's for you and me.
Sweet rising sun
There's a distant rain
There's a healing hand
And it wipes the shame
There's a constant love
And it fills complete
Wit a heart full and yearning
I could only believe
Chorus
I live for the day
When I feel the red fire
of love
I live for the reign
Deep in my heart
I live for the truth
That I hear within
myself
I'd die for the love
Deep in my heart
Sweet rising sun
There's a hole in our hearts
Here's a fragile soul
That's been torn apart
But the sweet breathe
of air
From a Savior true
Leaves me wanting nothing
Leaves me only wanting you
Remember you, remember me when you were young,
Now you've gone your way; hope you make it back someday,
Someday is never, someday might be so cruel,
Just make it this day,
Come on back to what you always knew.
Story, it's a story,
We're a story,
Story of how it all began,
Story, it's a story,
We're a story,
Story of how it all began.
How long can you hold out? How long can you wait?
Some say it's destiny, others say it might be fate,
The love's forever, the hope is for the world,
Let's make it this day,
Go on back to what you always knew.
Story, it's a story,
We're a story,
A story of how it all began,
Story, it's a story,
We're a story,
Story of how it all began.
All began, all began.
Story, it's a story,
We're a story,
Story of how it all began,
Story, a little bit of story,
We're a story, yeah,
Story of how it all began, all began.

Hearing inside
Your heart whispers the truth
He's playing your song
And it's playing for you
I've been in love
And I've been around
I've seen hearts die
Without making a sound
Towing the line
Nearing the end
You reach out reach out
Reach out again
Aren't we all winners
In this crowded old world
And once in a while
You go running home
Aren't we all singers
Always singing the blues
And once in a while
You go running home
Always our light
He's always leading us home
So why do we hide
From the love He has shown
I've been in love
And I've been around
I've seen hearts die
Without making a sound
Towing the line
Nearing the end
You reach out reach out
Reach out again

Touch the fire that's burning red, Can you hear what the man said? Hold the fear in your hand, He's coming close, he understands.
Give to me life that's torn and I'll be missionary, If you care like I do, you'll be missionary too.
Over here, over there - can you see they're everywhere? Grab a home on the street - I don't mind, if you keep it neat, Touch the fire that's burning red, Can you hear what the man said? Hold the fear in your hand, He's coming close, he understands.

I have cried many years; now life's changed by the stranger at the front door, Stranger at the front door, I have tried many years; now life's rearranged by the stranger at the front door, Stranger at the front door.
Time to go, Time to realise that it's not just you and me, Time to fight, time to win, Together we can take the war, Take the war, take the war, Don't you know they can have hearts of gold if we'd just talk to them? Talk to them, t-t-t-t-talk to them, yeah.

Hope is at the door and you let her wait, Now she's gone away, Free...free to chose, Win or lose - only you can say.
Oh, when you gonna live in the bright light?
Live right and walk true, If only you knew the bad, bad place, Give love patiently, Soon we'll see what's in the bad, bad place.
Dream a silly dream, Does it mean that we're here forever? Faith that's gone astray, Any day I'll find you home again.

It seems so far from here, but I know that it's real, Unlike a dream, this place is so very clear, Your hope of love is in my mind, High and low - can I find you anywhere? Your sweet hands of love have reached out to me.

Lonely place dying souls

That in so many ways I fought
to stay above
OOOh It won't ever fade away
OOOh will I live to see the day
when you
Give me love Give me love
Give me love Give me love
I've known the truth and the way
The sky is white this world is gray
One thing's clear there's no mistake
Love is free It's yours to take
So many ways to reach into a love
That in so many ways I fought
to stay above
OOOh It won't ever fade away
OOOh will I live to see the day
when you
Give me love Give me love
Give me love Give me love
I met this lonely stranger
Asked him where are you going?
He said I'm looking for some danger
Well you can find it anywhere
But who will come and
save you from yourself
When you've had all
that you can take
I know someone who paid
the price
He said lay it on me
Lay it on me
Lay it on me
When your heart is
hanging low
Lay it on me
Come in and let me
share this thing
This thing I call happiness
It only happens from within
And once you've had it all
make sense
Cause who will come and save
us from ourselves
When we've had all
that you can take
I know someone who paid
the price
He said lay it on me
Can you see the reign
Kings of the king in another age
Can you hear the voice
Voice of the spirit call
Will you hear the noise
As thousands in a praise fall
See the wide road calling
out for me Oh no
Walk the narrow road
I can hear you when you try,
hear you cry
I need you Oh God
you're everything to me
I need you deep inside
give me hope take my pride
I need you love from above
God I need you
I need you deep inside
give me hope always my guide
If you speak the word of truth
Power and glory like you never knew
Clean you'll be free inside
Peace no need to run and hide

i find it kind of sad (I Find It Kind of Sad)
conditions we are living in
the poverty is bad
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
when people wanna kill you
it's a very, very
mad world (Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh)
mad world (Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh)
mad world (Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh)
mad world (Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh)...
yo, one straight level's all we got
but there's nothin' left
police be takin' shot
everybody that
children on the block
papa working at ?
mama doing a lot
but economy's in a tangle
put the peace and equality
all we goin' the same
now we started brutality
people lookin' for change
haters lookin' for blame
ten of these lookin' the same
here's the hope for humanity
'less the plan is humane...
mad world (Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh)
mad world (Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh)
mad world (Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh)
mad world (Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh)...
Yo, Yo, Yo, Yo
it's crazy right now
it's a really really really bad world
Uh uh uh uh uh
you're gonna die out there
i said it's a mad world Oh
oh oh
[Verse 1: Novel]
I am, reverends' future black president.
I'm what you see rollin' every day through your resident
Windows tinted, young and relentless
To the cops, I'm a suspect that fits the description
But I am, not a hoodlum, I'm not an abuser
I'm sort of a connoisseur slash entrepreneur.
I've seen a lot of people grow, some went, some came
Rappers are next-generation shit but I am change.
At the age of 21 they said I'd be non-existent,
It's that, or pleading the trial or being convicted.
I guess since I'm alive then I beat the statistics
Y'all can all kiss my ass when I am rich.
I'm the sun, I'm light,
I'm much more than your bling or the shine off your ice
I'm as, free as a spirit, I'm as fly as a bird
I'm whatever I wanna be as long as I am heard
Cause I am...
[Chorus:]
I am I am I am
Eternal to the light I am I am
I'm a product of the ghetto, my father's boy,
A brother to my sister, my mother's pride and joy, I am
I am I am I am
The king of all knights I am I am
I'm the blade of the knife, that slaughtered the lamb
The greatest sacrifice, the son of Abraham
[Verse 2: Talib Kweli]
I am C-E-O, H-N-I-C
B-K-M-C, Talib Kweli
My name roll off the tongue like L-M-N-O-P
See I am at touch, you can I'm me.
I'm not nobody's toy, I'm not nobody's boy
I am someone's man, I am someone's joy
I am the voice, I am the truth
I am the choice, I am the proof.
Like my man from the D
Gon' stand on my feet
I am the branch, from the family tree
A baby to the leaves, carriers of the seeds
To carry on the name, to make a man complete.
De La Soul said I am a beat
I'm not a dream, I'm not a fantasy
Right here in the flesh,
I am out of this world, I am something else
I am something lived, I am something felt.
Your just so beautiful it makes me cry
You always get your way girl every time
It breaks my heart we had to say goodbye
I just can't let you fuck with my mind
My tears are bullets and my eyes a loaded gun
I never thought I'd be the one to run from love
Just can't lose it when it all comes push to shove
I just can't let you fuck with my mind
The things you say how was I to know babe yea
The things you did were unforgivable yea yea
And all this time I was here for ya late yea
Your just so beautiful it makes me cry
You always get your way girl every time
It breaks my heart we had to say goodbye
I just can't let you fuck with my mind
My tears are bullets and my eyes a loaded gun
I never thought I'd be the one to run from love.
You just can't lose it when it all comes push to shove
I just can't let you fuck with my mind.
The things you say how was I to know babe yea.
The things you did were unforgivable yea yea.
And all this time I was here for you late yea
Your just so beautiful it make me wanna cry
You always get your way girl every time.
It breaks my heart we had to say goodbye.
I just can't let you fuck with my mind
My tears are bullets and my eyes are loaded guns
I never thought I'd be the one to run from love.
You just can't lose it when it all comes push to shove.
I just can't let you fuck with my mind.
Baby girl I gave you my love
And after all the things we've been through
You say it wasn't enough
Girl I gave you my trust
Say there's nothing left no regrets
I just gotta let it be yea.
Your just so beautiful it makes me wanna
You always get your way girl every single time
It breaks my heart we had to say goodbye
I just can't let you fuck with my mind.
My tears are bullets and my eyes are loaded guns
I never thought I'd be the one to run from love
You just can't lose it when it all comes push to shove
Please excuse me but I got to ask
Are you only being nice
Because you want something
My fairy tale arrow pierces
Be careful how you respond
'Cause you'd not end up in this song
I never gave you an encouragement
And it's doing me in
Doing me in
Doing me in
Doing me in
The more you try to erase me
The more, the more
The more that I appear
Oh the more, the more
The more you try the eraser
The more, the more
The more that you appear
You know the answer so why do you ask
I am only being nice
Because I want someone, something
You're like a kitten with a ball of yarn
And it's doing me in
Doing me in
Doing me in
Doing me in
The more you try to erase me
The more, the more
The more that I appear
Oh the more, the more
The more I try to erase you
The more, the more
The more that you appear
No, you're wrong, you're wrong
You're wrong, you're wrong
You're wrong, you're wrong

[Verse 1: Novel]
Watermelons, Coconuts
Red squeezed juice drippin' nigga what what?
What I got to for a nigga like me to touch ya?
Body bangin' from head to toe she ain't blush much
Got me so small got her toes done
Cherry Red, Cinnamon she like no one
I ever met before
Didn't sweat me no
[Chorus: Novel]
I need peach fuzz
Especially sweet not sour
You see her on the streets doin' something to me
I need peach fuzz
I need peach fuzz
Especially sweet not sour
You see her on the streets doin' something to me
[Verse 2: Novel]
Yeah peach fuzz no steel rubbin' on the hairs of my chinny chin chin
Its such a taste make me smile
While I could crush grapes turn it into fine wine
You the greatest my one and only
I done some shit you got to understand my story
Rub on ya navel
Then freak off on the table
Then I could go past your navel
[Chorus: Novel]
I need peach fuzz
Especially sweet not sour
You see her on the streets doin' something to me
I need peach fuzz
I need peach fuzz
Especially sweet not sour
You see her on the streets doin' something to me
[Bridge: Novel]
Yo its down down down
Down down down down
I'm going down down down
Down down down
[Verse 3: Lloyd Banks]
Any special attention that god gave
But I ain't kissin' no lips that open up side ways
I ain't tryin' to knock ya strategy
You will not be mad at me
Ya old ass cell couldn't top my battery
You know we keep them dutchs stuffed up fast
But if you deep sea diving you can't puff puff pass
I know the tongue song got women fooled
I only jump head first in the swimming pool
Lloyd Banks
[Verse 4:]
You gotta know that this is a pacifical thing
Its critical man
Cause if she goin' down then she givin' me brain
And we push the seat back in the Caddy
Shes packin' the fatty
We practically at it
We at it cause Kat's a fanatic
In fact its sporadic
And don't get it twisted I eat 'till its numb
I eat 'till ya cum
My tongue'll have you speakin' in tongues
I eat it at the bay or the beach
And they all weak
See I could give it
[Chorus: Novel]
I need peach fuzz
Especially sweet not sour
You see her on the streets doin' something to me
I need peach fuzz
I need peach fuzz
Especially sweet not sour
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why.
Why can't we live together?
Tell me why, tell me why.

Everybody wants to live together.
Why can't we be together?
No more war, no more war, no more war...
Just a little peace.
No more war, no more war.
All we want is some peace in this world.
Everybody wants to live together.

Think I'll go back home
Think I'll go back home
Think I'll go back home
Back where I belong
Think I'll go back home
Nothin' for me here
Nothin' for me here, child, no there ain't
Nothin' for me here
People trapped by fear
And you can't get near
Lived with you I felt
Lived with you I felt, child
Lived with you I felt
I was by myself
I was someone else
Babe, come home with me
Babe, come home with me now
Babe, come home with me
And I'll make you see
Yes, I'm gonna set you free
When I woke up this morning
I found that I was alone, yeah
Till I called your number
They told me there's no one home again
Baby, what does it mean?
Waterfall, nothing can harm me at all,
my worries seem so very small
with my waterfall.
I can see my rainbow calling me
through the mystery
of my waterfall.
Some people say day-dreaming's
for the lazy minded fools
with nothing else to do.
So let them laugh, laugh at me,
so just as long as I have you
to see me through,
I have nothing to lose 'long as I have you.
Waterfall, don't ever choose your ways.
Come with me for a million days,
