Wood is a hard, fibrous tissue found in many trees. It has been used for hundreds of thousands of years for both fuel and as a construction material. It is an organic material, a natural composite of cellulose fibers (which are strong in tension) embedded in a matrix of lignin which resists compression. Wood is sometimes defined as only the secondary xylem in the stems of trees, or it is defined more broadly to include the same type of tissue elsewhere such as in tree roots or in other plants such as shrubs.[citation needed] In a living tree it performs a support function, enabling woody plants to grow large or to stand up for themselves. It also mediates the transfer of water and nutrients to the leaves and other growing tissues. Wood may also refer to other plant materials with comparable properties, and to material engineered from wood, or wood chips or fiber.
The earth contains about one trillion tonnes of wood, which grows at a rate of 10 billion tonnes per year. As an abundant, carbon-neutral renewable resource, woody materials have been of intense interest as a source of renewable energy. In 1991, approximately 3.5 billion cubic meters of wood were harvested. Dominant uses were for furniture and building construction.
Sean Michael Anderson (born March 25, 1988), better known by his stage name Big Sean, is an American rapper. Big Sean signed with Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music in 2007, and then in 2008 signed with Def Jam Recordings.
Sean Michael Anderson was born in Santa Monica, California, and he moved at two months old to west Detroit (6 Mile and Wyoming) where he was raised by his mother and grandmother. He attended Detroit Waldorf School and graduated from Cass Technical High School with a 3.7 GPA. Big Sean is often heard saying " west side " in his songs; he is referring to the west side of his hometown Detroit, Michigan. In his later years in high school, Sean gained a valuable relationship with Detroit hip hop station WHTD; he would show his rhyming skills on a weekly basis as part of a rap battle contest held by the station.
In 2005, Kanye West was doing a radio interview at 102.7 FM. Hearing about this, Sean headed over to the station to meet West and perform some free-style. Initially Kanye was reluctant to hear the emcee, however he gave Sean 16 bars to rap for him, eventually according to Big Sean "As we get to the entrance of the radio station ... we stopped in the middle of the doorway. He starts looking at me and bobbing his head,". He left a demo-tape as well. Two years later, West finally signed Big Sean to GOOD Music.

Plot
Among those who are fighting to have Congress re-establish the military academy at West Point in the beginning of the nineteenth century is a young Washington socialite, Carolyn Bainbridge. Congress resolves to revive the Academy on a one-year trial basis. Major Sam Carter, a martinet who doesn't believe a college can produce real fighting men, is made the Commandant, and determines to make soldiers - or failures - out of the small band of cadets, by enforcing stringent disciplinary action. Among the cadets are Howard Shelton, Carolyn's fiancée, and Dawson, a Kentucky frontiersman. There is bad blood between the two from the start, and matters are worsened when Dawson falls in love with Carolyn. Many of the cadets resign, under the discouraging conditions and grueling punishment that is part of Carter's plan to make the school hard and the exercises difficult, and the number of cadets left is down to ten. Word arrives that the Indian chief Tecumseh has gone on the warpath, and Carter is ordered to take part in quelling the rebellion, and to include the cadets along with the regular Bombadiers. Shelton, on patrol, is shot at by an Indian, and hot-headedly leaves his post in pursuit. Dawson leaves to bring him back followed by Major Carter who is captured by the Indians. Using tactics learned at West Point, the small band of cadets attack and demoralize the much larger Indian force, and succeed in rescuing Carter, and Dawson is wounded. Carter is grateful for the actions taken by the band, but says that Shelton and Dawson cannot remain as cadets since they had violated the rules by leaving their posts, and would be a bad precedent for future cadets. Carolyn has come to the Point to marry the unsuspecting Dawson, who thought she loved Shelton.

You try to multiply your speed by time to get your distance
But you don't see the wood for the trees
An experiment with existence
Is showing up anomalies
You see the day dissolve into the morrow
And the slow growing of your second skin
Adrenaline begins in the marrow
And then intoxicates your oxygen
Count one to a hundred and then you are ready to go
What do you know
What do you say
We have an acid chemistry today
What do you get
What do you like
We have a savage energy tonight
I'm not the light outside of the window
I'm not a damsel in distress
I'm not the gold at the end of the rainbow
And I am not a lost princess
Are you my love, my landlord, my lawyer
Are you the one I build my world around
Or are we wrapped in black paranoia
Ready to attack and take each other down
Exactly like Alice in Wonderland now when we grow
What do you know
What do you say
We have an acid chemistry today
What do you get
What do you like
We have a savage energy tonight
What do you say
We have an acid chemistry today
Oh my dear it's dark in the dungeon
This is where the demons dwell
A sign says beware of the dragon
You don't attend it very well
Who was it who said that it's better the devil you know
Ain't it so
What do you say
We have an acid chemistry today
What do you get
What do you like
We have a savage energy tonight
What do you say
You said the words
And I felt myself begin to fall
And I saw the road ahead with moonlight at all
And baby, baby, babe
And I won't be home for tea
Don't suppose you wanna see
You said the words
I felt the feeling in my heart
And I saw my world just fall apart
Baby, baby, babe
And I won't be home for tea
It seems like you're in trouble and the finger points
at you...It seems that you get mixed up in your many
Points of view one sentence contradictions are
Your "worst favorite thing" and you
Believe that what you know is only what you read
I don't expect you to understand-I never thought
you could. With a heart of stone and a brain made
out of wood you never ask a question and the
answers always there
We try so hard to give opinions but you don't even
care...You leave the room when you are told there's
So much more to learn
Just give it time and you will find your
I could say the things that make it happen
I'd use all the words that lovers use
I could give the looks that time has given
But this time I'll look away from you
Maybe it ain't right and maybe I'll miss you
Maybe it ain't the easiest thing that I'm gonna do
You have made me feel [Incomprehensible] sometimes pretty bad
I thought I was crazy but you're the one that's mad
Stand up and take a bow for all that you have done
And if you touch yourself
You'll have to find someone else to blame
Maybe in the light of day you'll forgive me
See it now for what it really was
In another time it could all be different
Honey, I was strong but you were not
Maybe it ain't right and maybe I'll miss you
Maybe it ain't the easiest thing that I'm gonna do
You have made me feel sometimes pretty bad
I thought I was crazy but you're the one that's mad
Stand up and take a bow for all that you have done
'Cause if you touch yourself
You'll have to find someone else to blame
Maybe it ain't right, maybe I'll miss you
Maybe it ain't the easiest thing that I'm gonna do
You have made me feel sometimes pretty bad
I thought I was crazy but you're the one that's mad
Stand up and take a bow for all that you have done
'Cause if you touch yourself
Well, I tried so hard but it was not enough
I guessed wrong and I messed up
But I think I still believe
When you walk in a straight line
You don't have to worry
When you walk in a straight line
Things get out your way
When you walk in a straight line
You don't have to worry
When you walk in a straight line
You can face the day
Down by the river stands a man
Trouble on his mind, running out of plans
But I think I still believe
When you walk in a straight line
You don't have to worry
When you walk in a straight line
Things get out your way
When you walk in a straight line
You don't have to worry
When you walk in a straight line
You've given me a whole lot to think about
Now leave me be
You've given me a whole lot to think about
Now leave me be
I'm so confused, what should I do
I'll take a drive to somewhere I used to go
You've given me a whole lot to think about
Now leave me be
You've given me a whole lot to think about
Now leave me be
I need some time to clear out my mind
If visions are true then why couldn't I see you?
You've given me a whole lot to think about
You've given me a whole lot to think about
Oh yeah, yeah
A whole lot to think about, oh yeah
You've given me a whole lot to think about
You've given me a whole lot to think about
You've given me a whole lot to think about
His old hands were brown
from the varnish and the stain
And I had come to talk
in my youth and in my pain
I told him that I was not
the man I want to be
I waited to see what he would say
But he just kept on working
as if I wasn't there
The sweat on his face
and dust in his hair
He paused for a moment
when I'd been there for a while
He wiped his brow - I thought I saw him smile
(Chorus)
He just said , "Wood,
From the earth beneath our feet there grows a tree
And we can take it, shape it, to what's it's meant to
The stronger the fiber, the better for the good
Son, I believe that men are just like wood."
I handed him a timber
and he laid it on the bench
I watched the love and care he took
to measure every inch
the work it got harder
when he cut across the grain
but he just put more shoulder to the plane
I sat there beside him
as he carved out every line
He made a thing of beauty
from a rough 'ol piece of pine
He seem to have the vision
of what the end would be
I felt as if some pieces had been taken out of me
(repeat chorus)
I left a little taller
wiser, and free
I learned the use of tools
for the carpenter in me
I don't have all the answers
but one thing I have have found
We are the choices that we make
when the chips are down, wood.
He said, "The stronger the fiber, the better for the
good
Son, I believe that men are just like wood."
Made out of wood
Made out of wood
Thrown us in highlights
Made out of wood
Devince promises
Taking over my life
Think in ways
To make you whole again
Think in ways
To evolve back into themselves
Into themselves
Let go, let go
Let go, let go
Let go, let go
Let go, let go
Made out of wood
Made out of scars
Burned on the highlights
Made out of wood
Devince promises
Taking over my life
Think in ways
To make you whole again
Think in ways
To evolve back into themselves
Into themselves
Let go, let go
Let go, let go

Let go, let go

Let go, let go, let go

As I drove off one evening, for the last time I'm leaving
I had to pull over 'cause something was changing
While the wind screen was wiping off the rain that kept falling
I thought about nothing, yeah, I thought about living
Bitterness is sweet 'cause it's funny after all
Now you've got me to my feet, just let me fall
Right now I'm dreaming that I'm back at my place
Changing my keys to my old front door
Turning around and talking, pretending once more
Bitterness is sweet 'cause it's funny after all
Now you've got me to my feet, just let me fall
I've been holding on too tight, always waiting on your call
Now we both know you're right so let me fall, let me fall
After a while I began my journey home
Dreadin' that moment when on my stairs I'll be all alone
Dangling my keys in my old front door
And turning around and talking and pretending once more
That am I only doing what I expect myself to do
You know sometimes it's hard to tell what is it isn't true
Or am I living out a liar off for someone else?
Or is this just me beneath it all? I just don't know anymore
Bitterness is sweet 'cause it's funny after all
Now you've got me to my feet, just let me fall
I've been holding on too tight and always waiting on your call
Oh, when I come back tonight
After working all day long
The things that make it right
Are the things that make it wrong
So when we're forced to part
I'm only half a man
It's been a life of maybe's
Oh, but now I know I can
Our time has come, girl
So long I've waited
Our time has come, girl
We're gonna take it
Only now I notice things
That for years I just ain't seen
Was I walking in my sleep
Oh, that's how that seemed to me
So don't ask me to explain
All the strange things that I do
And I'm lucky you're in God
'Cause He's got to wait for you
Our time has come, girl
So long I've waited
Our time has come, girl
We're gonna take it
Our time has come, girl
So long I've waited
Our time has come, girl
We're gonna take it
Our time has come, girl
So long I've waited
Our time has come, girl
We're gonna take it
Sprung from earth just like a tree
A man with no identity
Flesh and bone like you and me
Exept for two extremities
From elbow down in hickory
It's like genetic castaway debris
Was thrown together hastily
To form this mindless entity
The man with the wooden hands
The man with the wooden hands
The man with the wooden hands
The man with the wooden hands
Through watching too much MTV
He found who he wanted to be
Thinking songs in C-D-E
Seems to be the recipé
With these new clothes and accessories
It must be himself he aims to please
As it sure won't work on you or me
A sorry sight half man half tree
The man with the wooden hands
The man with the wooden hands
The man with the wooden hands
The man with the wooden hands
Do the wooden hand now
It goes something like this...
The man with the wooden hands
The man with the wooden hands
The man with the wooden hands
You said the words
And I felt myself begin to fall
And I saw the road ahead with moonlight at all
And baby, baby, babe
And I won't be home for tea
Don't suppose you wanna see
You said the words
I felt the feeling in my heart
And I saw my world just fall apart
Baby, baby, babe
And I won't be home for tea
Don't suppose you wanna see
Have I been fooled by wishes
The room turned misty blue
I'm fast asleep in Kansas
From a dream come true
And I, I, I only came for you
I don't want anything that happens
And we just hold it here
Somebody go and fetch your father
I see it all so clear
Have I been taken over
I dream I'd have a clue
I'm feeling less than sober
Are you there way to
And I, I, I only came for you
Have I been fooled by wishes
I dream I'd have a clue
I'm fast asleep in Kansas
I know that I could never be
The first one to kiss you
'Cause darling there's been many men
Before me
I guess that I could never be
The first one to love you
'Cause all of those days
Have been gone
In every city street and every night and day
It's a world war trying to get your own way
If I had a wish
I swear you'd hear me say
Could I be the last give in
Say you'll never start again
Could I be the dream, the dream for you
Could I be? Would I do?
Could I be the last surrender
Could I be the number one contender
Could I trust you if you don't come home
Could I leave you all alone?
Tougher than the rest of us
You're making out like it never was
You say you got the whole thing
For truth
You'd rather walk away than fight
And you'd rather do what's wrong than right
It brings yourself in the darkest shade
Of gray
In every city street and every night and day
It's a world war trying to get your own way
If I had a wish
I swear you'd hear me say
Could I be the last give in
Say you'll never start again
Could I be the dream, the dream for you
Could I be? Would I do?
Could I be the last surrender
Could I be the number one contender
Could I trust you if you don't come home
Could I leave you all alone?
Every city street and every night and day
It's a world war trying to get your own way
If I had a wish
I swear you'd hear me say
Yeah, could I be the last give in
Say you'll never start again
Could I be the dream for you?
Could I be the last surrender
Could I be the number one contender
Could I trust you if you don't come home
Gonna give myself a talking to
I don't think I'm getting through
After that I'll knock it on the head
Gonna ask myself for one last try
Give myself a reason why
After that I'll knock it on the head
You can be sure, I'm trying my best
But I could stay in every night and still fail the test
I won't let on say everything's fine
The walls are closing in but I do not mind
I'm gonna give myself a talking to
I don't think I'm getting through
After that I'll knock it on the head
I'm gonna ask myself for one last try
Give myself a reason why
After that I'll knock it on the head
Make the phone ring, bring me good news
I live in deep freeze but I thawed out for you
God only knows what I'm gonna do now
I could get on but I don't know how
I'm gonna give myself a talking to
I don't think I'm getting through
After that I'll knock it on the head
I'm gonna ask myself for one last try
Give myself a reason why
After that I'll knock it on the head
Can I sleep slipping back?
And every day that passes ah, I want back
I want back now, now
Make the phone ring, bring me good news
I live in deep freeze but I thawed out for you
God only knows what I'm gonna do now
I could get on but I don't know how
Gonna give myself a talking to
I don't think I'm getting through
After that I'll knock it on the head
After that I'll knock it on the head
After that I'll knock it on the head
Gonna get somewhere
Gonna get somewhere
