James Thomas "Jimmy" Fallon, Jr. (born September 19, 1974) is an American actor, comedian, singer, musician and television host. He currently hosts Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, a late-night talk show that airs Monday through Friday on NBC. Prior to that he appeared in several films, and was best known as a cast member on Saturday Night Live from 1998–2004.
James Thomas Fallon, Jr., was born in Brooklyn, New York. Jimmy is the son of Gloria and James Fallon, Sr., who is a Vietnam War veteran. His family later settled in Saugerties, New York, while his father worked at IBM in nearby Kingston, New York. He is of Irish descent. As a child, he and his older sister, Gloria, would reenact the “clean parts” of Saturday Night Live that his parents had taped for him. Fallon was such a fan of Saturday Night Live that he made a weekly event of watching it in his dormitory during college. In his teens, he impressed his parents with different impersonations, the first being of James Cagney. He was also musically inclined, and started playing guitar at age 13. He would go on to mix comedy and music in contests and shows.
Benjamin Géza Affleck-Boldt (born August 15, 1972), better known as Ben Affleck, is an American actor, film director, writer, and producer. He became known with his performances in Kevin Smith's films such as Mallrats (1995), Chasing Amy (1997), and Dogma (1999). Affleck won an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award for the screenplay for Good Will Hunting (1997), which he co-wrote with Matt Damon, and has appeared in lead roles in such popular hits as Armageddon (1998), Pearl Harbor (2001), Changing Lanes (2002), The Sum of All Fears (2002), Daredevil (2003), Hollywoodland (2007) and State of Play (2009).
Affleck is a critically acclaimed filmmaker. He directed Gone Baby Gone (2007) and The Town (2010), playing the lead in the latter. He has worked with his younger brother, actor Casey Affleck, on several projects, including Good Will Hunting and Gone Baby Gone.
Affleck has been married to Jennifer Garner since June 2005. They have two daughters, Violet and Seraphina, and a son, Samuel. He dated the actress Gwyneth Paltrow in 1998. His relationship with actress/singer Jennifer Lopez attracted worldwide media attention, in which Affleck and Lopez were dubbed "Bennifer". The two broke up in 2004.
"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.
Tyler Perry (born Emmitt Perry, Jr.; September 14, 1969) is an American actor, director, screen and playwright, producer, author, and songwriter. Perry wrote and produced many stage plays during the 1990s and early 2000s. In 2005, he released his first film, Diary of a Mad Black Woman. In 2011, Forbes named him the highest paid man in entertainment, earning $130 million between May 2010 and 2011.
Perry was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, as Emmitt Perry, Jr. His family consisted of three siblings, his mother, Willie Maxine Perry (née Campbell), and his father, Emmitt Perry, Sr., a carpenter. Perry once said his father's "only answer to everything was to beat it out of you". As a child, Perry once went so far as to attempt suicide in an effort to escape his father's beatings. In contrast to his father, his mother took him to church each week, where he sensed a certain refuge and contentment. At age 16, he had his first name legally changed from Emmitt to Tyler in an effort to distance himself from his father.
"Wanna see the world, ain't scared to do it
Even if, your shocked by it
Me and you, lost when you do it
By myself, better off bein' you"
Smoke cess nigga, smokin' that A.K
Norther lights, yeah.. stick 'em!
Uh, ahhh, baby, you know it like a poet, baby doll
Yeah, yeah, crooked letter in, uh uh, S.I., better
known as the crooked letter I
Come on! Self Service
Y'all know me since '93, now let that weed burn
Back in this bitch, class dismissed, it's the return
Of the super sperm, game over, lose a turn
Takes a germ to kill a germ, when will y'all killas learn
Your only as good as your last hit
Soon as you put them automatics on safety that's it
I calm them bastards, I call them ratchets
Till you blasted, till y'all come ashes to ashes
We make classic, huh, bring you a rougher sound
You either up or down, don't get that ass kicked
Ya'll niggaz fuck around, y'all only tough around
The crowds, scared to bust a round, don't get that ass kicked
What part of the game is this?
I came to break bread, evidently y'all killas came to bitch, nigga
So, whose the whipped nigga, don't even trip, nigga
Some say they pull trigga, I think they bullshitter
I just begun to fight, if mommy like daddy talk
Then daddy might get him some tonight
Give me, my limelight, give me, my five mics
Give me, some weed and a light to get my mind right
Is he, the illest M.C., to ever play the tough city
To find out it'll cost you bout a buck fifty
Across your face swiftly, my after taste shitty
Whose built by New Yitty, whose milked like two titties
And I ain't even got to say my name
I got this duck wit her legs up like, "say my name, trick"
You think it's all a game, like pussy all the same
I'm speakin' toilet slang, not seakin' hall of fame
It's raw, sushi, stain in your drawers, dooky
Quarter a Lucy, quarter more for a groupie
That like to pop snoopy, think she gon' pop coochie
Just cuz you got Gucci, don't mean you not hoochie
Girl, I tell it like a T-I-N
Ain't no other kids eatin' till I feed my kids
Trick, oh, you ain't crushin', sister, I can't do nothin' wit you
My money's celebate, honey, and we ain't fuckin' wit you
I do it for the nookie, some say I'm too pushy
Only thing better than pussy, that's some new pussy
There that go, looky, it's gettin' ugly even
With niggaz so broke, they couldn't spend a lovely even
Yeah, that's it

Scream from the loudest mic

Take a big breath of that air

We just carry
No one's prepared to fight

If it's not you oh no I won't do that
You'll have to wait for me and that is that
Shoulda known, shoulda cared
Shoulda hung around the kitchen in my underwear
Acting like a lady
You shoulda made me, oh

Shoulda fluttered my mascara
Like a butterfly
Instead of being lazy
It woulda saved me
Someone saved my heart today
Will someone turn the light back on?
Cos ever since you went away
The other rushes feels so wrong
That special something, that they are hunting
They're always wanting, more and more
Nobody sees the show
Not 'til my heart says so
If it's not you, oh no

Boy if you want to be my speciality
You'll have to wait for me and that is that
I won't (ooh), unless you want me to

Ready to take
Waiting to recieve
I'm the object in your life called wife
Struggling for existence
While all around
Glides by
You will always be
What you will be
Ready to take
Waiting to recieve
Hope, pride, will a hand
Break the ice
Pull me from the sea
If I don't ask
I don't recieve
You will always be
What you will be
Ready to take
Waiting to recieve
Just remove the hook
>From my mouth
Oh, I'd do anything to feel the wind that day
There in the upper room, all in one place
And I'd give anything to hear the sound of the spirit
Coming down
And the praises they sang
It's the way that your beauty takes the stage
Bigger than a star struck grand parade
Louder than the sound of rock n' roll
Lights down, take a bow, you know you stole the show
And though I've never seen those holy toungues of fire
I feel you in my heart, you inspire me
I see you moving in the simple things
In the way you give life, it's the reason I sing
* - Slick Rick
+ - Doug E. Fresh
- Both
Oh my God...

(You know it) Slick Rick
*Wel, here's a little something that needs to be heard
Doug, i was walking downtown (Word Rick) word
(Sure) All along, no one to be wit
Step on the D-train, 205th
I saw a pretty girl (so)
So I sat beside her
Then she went roar, she was Tony the Tiger
I said, oh darn, there has been a mistake
Honey, my name's Slick Rick, not frosty flake
(oh, golly wolly) She was raising hell
She said, um, my name is maggie but you can call me Michelle
(Rick sings)
Bust a move, we show and prove
Hey, yo, Doug, do that funky jam on a groove
Oh my God...
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why
Slow it down, make it stop or else my heart is going to pop
'Cause it's too much, yeah it's a lot to be something I'm not
I'm a fool out of love 'cause I just can't get enough
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why
I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out, it's bringing me down
I know I've got to let it go and just enjoy the show
The sun is hot in the sky just like a giant spotlight
The people follow the signs and synchronize in time
It's a joke nobody knows, they've got a ticket to the show
Yeah, I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why
I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out, it's bringing me down
I know I've got to let it go and just enjoy the show
Just enjoy the show
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why
I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out, it's bringing me down
I know I've got to let it go and just enjoy the show
Just enjoy the show, just enjoy the show
I want my money back, I want my money back
I want my money back, just enjoy the show
I want my money back, I want my money back
I want my money back, just enjoy the show
Let me entertain you
Rang through my head
I was a reckless child
And I did what he said
People came
From miles around
To hear the sound
That was tearing up the town
(Maybe you're an icon)
(Baby you're a hard on)
Or maybe you're a god
(Baby you're an icon)
(Maybe you're a hard on)
Or maybe you're a dog
The next batter up
Was a man
A scary man
With the golden hands
He brought his axe
To bury the tracks
No mortal man
Could follow his act
(Maybe you're an icon)
(Baby you're a hard on)
Or maybe you're god
You can't refrain
From going insane
It's what you want to do
(Maybe you're an icon)
(Baby you're a hard on)
Or maybe you're a god
(Maybe you're an icon)
(Baby you're a hard on)
Maybe you're god
Now that rock & roll's in the palm of our hands
We take it to the people every chance that we can
We are the party that never ends
Live by these words until we meet again
You can't refrain
From going insane
It's what you want to do
(Maybe you're an icon)
(Baby you're a hard on)
Or maybe you're a god
(Maybe you're an icon)
(Baby you're a hard on)
Or maybe you're god
(Maybe you're an icon)
(Baby you're a hard on)
Or maybe you're a god
(Maybe you're an icon)
(Baby you're a hard on)
Or maybe you're god
Whoa! It's time for the show babe
N-n-n-n-no!
Whoa! Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Time for the show
[Solo:]
Check, one two
Yo Adit, we good to go man? (yeah man)
Well alright, let's start the show
What's up? Nick's the name, that's my man Adit
We took a quick break but fuck it, we back at it
With Part Two, brought to you in part
By the laughs and the tears, and all the places that we've passed through
It's been a hell of a ride the past few
And there's no ending in sight, we bout to let you inside
And shit, I'm not even tryna think about the finish line
Believe it's no game, but it ain't no race neither
We had to do it all at our own pace
Lessons learnt, bridges burnt and forks in the road faced
And I'd be lying if I said there weren't times that I was flying blind
Line by line tryna shine this little light of mine
We put the foundations down with no blueprint
I wrote my first song just to see if I could do it
Used to keep it top secret, leaked it and released it
Barely had our feet wet, got thrown in the deep end
Until all of a sudden, I'm in front of like three hundred
Something people at the Annandale screaming and jumping
And I can't believe it, such a rush, what a feeling
It make me wanna raise up and touch the ceiling
[Chorus:]
Turntables and a mic and we ready to rock, right?
We put it down when we all up in the spot-light
Lights, camera, action, we ready to go
Horrorshow on the set, we just letting you know
It's like, setbacks and traps set on the job site
But the wicked don't rest so we on the grind
So this the motto that we follow
Whatever life throws at us, it don't matter
The show must go on
[Solo:]
The show must go on
The show must go on
Yo, it must go on, the show must go on
On and on to the break of dawn
We'll stay up all night in the flight's in the morning
Catch me sprawled out in an airport lounge somewhere
Hungover as hell like "damn I love touring"
Or out in the middle of nowhere
But even if the budget is threadbare, believe we'll get there
Long days and nights, lost songs on hard drives
And there was one tour we even crashed the car twice (shit)
I juggle part time hustle like I'm living a double life
And spread myself thin like a butter knife
So buckle up and hold on, destination's unknown
But whatever, the show must go on
And things are looking up dude
I'm out on tour with people I grew up looking up to
And all this from the power of a mic check, one two
Now I got some other dreams I'm tryna make come true
[Chorus x2]
[Solo: x2]
The show must go on
The show must go on
The show must go on
Hey Joe
Where you going with that gun in your hand
Hey Joe
Where you going with that gun in your hand
Going down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messing around with another man
Going down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messing around on me
Hey Joe
I heard that you shot your old lady down
Hey Joe
I heard that you shot your old lady down
Yes I did, I shot her her
You know, I caught that girl messing around town
Yes I did, I shot her her
You know, I caught that girl messing around town
I took out my gun,
Then I shot her
I shot her
Hey Joe Where you gonna run to now
Hey Joe
Where you gonna run to now
Where you gonna go
Ain't no hangman gonna
Get a rope around me
Ain't no hangman gonna
Get a rope around me. (no one gonna)
Goin' way down south
Way down to Mexico way
Goin' way down south
Way down where I can be free
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
I do not know where to go, can not do it alone
I've tried and I do not know why
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
Slow it down, make it stop or else my heart is going to pop
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
'Cause it's too much, yeah it's a lot to be something I'm not
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I do not know where to go, can not do it alone
I've tried and I do not know why
I'm a fool out of love 'cause I just can not get enough
I'm just a little boy lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I do not show it
I can not figure it out, it's bringing me down
I know I've got to let it go and just enjoy the show
The people follow the signs and synchronize in time
The sun is hot in the sky just like a giant spotlight
It's a joke nobody knows, they've got a ticket to the show
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I've tried and I do not know why
Yeah, I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
I do not know where to go, can not do it alone
I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I can not figure it out, it's bringing me down
I'm so scared but I do not show it
I know I've got to let it go and just enjoy the show
Just enjoy the show
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I do not know where to go, can not do it alone
I've tried and I do not know why
I'm just a little boy lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I do not show it
I can not figure it out, it's bringing me down
I know I've got to let it go and just enjoy the show
Just enjoy the show, just enjoy the show
I want my money back, I want my money back
I want my money back, I want my money back
I want my money back, just enjoy the show
If you kick me when I'm down
I'll get back up every time just to prove you wrong
And if I get knocked out
My pride is all I've got left to break my fall
I'm getting ready for the fight of my life
Nothing to lose, I've got everything to prove
Trust me, I'll put my life on the line
'Cause I've got nothing to hide
Trust me, I'll put my life on the line
Better get your ticket to the show
'Round and 'round we go
This fight scores blow by blow
Boom, boom, bam, I won't pull no punches
Till the clock reads zero
When I hear the masses scream
I'm not afraid of the chaos around me
I feed off that energy
I'll risk it all to protect the victory
I'm getting ready for the fight of my life
Nothing to lose, I've got everything to prove
Trust me, I'll put my life on the line
'Cause I've got nothing to hide
Trust me, I'll put my life on the line
Better get your ticket to the show
'Round and 'round we go
This fight scores blow by blow
Boom, boom, bam, I won't pull no punches
Till the clock reads zero
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
'Round and 'round we go
This fight scores blow by blow
Boom, boom, bam, I won't pull no punches
A thousand morning's lousy weather
Came along and put a show together
Some back ace boys beat back and forth
The ones you're listening to of course
Came to show, came to show whatever
They felt were pictures of their dream
‘Cause they're just as stupid as they seem
We're here to show, we're here to show
Just how we like to sing when we're alone
And we won't stop ‘til you got your fist up
Aaaaah!
We're here to show, we're here to show
Just how we like to sing when we're alone
And we won't stop ‘til you got your fist up
A thousand nights came up together
Came to turn a mess to something better
The back ace boys are in your town
To turn the dance floor upside down
We're here to show, we're here to show
Just how we like to sing when we're alone
And we won't stop ‘til you got your fist up
Aaaaah!
We're here to show, we're here to show
Just how we like to sing when we're alone
And we won't stop ‘til you got your fist up
Come on!
And the kick it up noise
Will rock and knock you too!
And the kick it up noise
Will rock and knock you too-oo!
And the kick it up noise
Pouring waters over the sea
The skies are so dark today
Tidal waves form strange melodies
That words can't begin to say
Heavy winds displaces the trees
The sun has turned cold and grey
Thunder sounds are echoing near
Reality seems so frail
Wasting most of your worthless days
Squandering all we have
Will it stop before we all see?
There's nothing left to save
And the world keeps turning
(Business is going well)
And our end keeps forming
No one could stop this show
Waters covering us
As Far as the eye can see
Not a shred of land left
Within this enormous sea
Wheels of money turning (too late)
No one to stop the spin (too late)
All goes on in circles
Our chances are growing thin
And the world keeps turning
(Business is going well)
And our end keeps forming
No one could stop this show
And the clock keeps ticking
