Caracalla (Latin: Marcus Aurelius Severus Antoninus Augustus; 4 April 188 – 8 April 217) was Roman emperor from 198 to 217. The eldest son of Septimius Severus, for a short time he ruled jointly with his younger brother Geta until he had him murdered in 211. Caracalla is remembered as one of the most notorious and unpleasant of emperors because of the massacres and persecutions he authorized and instigated throughout the Empire.
Caracalla's reign was also notable for the Constitutio Antoniniana (also called the Edict of Caracalla), granting Roman citizenship to all freemen throughout the Roman Empire for the purpose of increasing tax revenue, according to historian Cassius Dio. He is also one of the emperors who commissioned a large public bath-house (thermae) in Rome. The remains of the Baths of Caracalla are still one of the major attractions of the Italian capital.
Caracalla, of mixed Punic–Roman–Berber and Syrian descent, was born Lucius Septimius Bassianus in Lugdunum, Gaul (now Lyon, France), the son of the later Emperor Septimius Severus and Julia Domna. At the age of seven, his name was changed to Marcus Aurelius Septimius Bassianus Antoninus to create a connection to the family of the philosopher emperor Marcus Aurelius. He was later given the nickname Caracalla, which referred to the Gallic hooded tunic he habitually wore and which he made fashionable.
The Roman emperor was the ruler of the Roman State during the imperial period (starting at about 27 BC). The Romans had no single term for the office although at any given time, a given title was associated with the emperor. If a man was "proclaimed emperor" this normally meant he was proclaimed augustus, or (for generals) imperator (from which English emperor ultimately derives). Several other titles and offices were regularly accumulated by emperors, such as caesar, princeps senatus, consul and Pontifex Maximus. The power of emperors was generally based on the accumulation of powers from republican offices and the support of the army.
Roman emperors refused to be considered "kings", instead claiming to be leaders of a republic, however nominal. The first emperor, Augustus, resolutely refused recognition as a monarch. Although Augustus could claim that his power was authentically Republican, his successor, Tiberius, could not convincingly make the same claim. Nonetheless, the Republican institutional framework (senate, consuls, magistracies etc.) was preserved until the very end of the Western Empire.
Terius Youngdell Nash (Born September 20, 1977), better known by his stage name The-Dream, is an American singer-songwriter and record producer. He is known for co-writing chart topping hits such as "Baby" for Justin Bieber, "Umbrella" for Rihanna and "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" for Beyoncé, as well as for his three solo albums, Love Hate, Love vs. Money, and Love King.
Terius Nash was born in Rockingham, North Carolina and moved with his mother, Reva Nash, to Atlanta at the age of 3. He played trumpet, drums, and guitar as a child. His mother died in 1992 when Nash was fifteen years old, an event which would inspire him to write songs. He states that the death of his mother gave him a "soft spot" for women, which he credits to his desire to write songs about female empowerment such as Rihanna's "Umbrella". He moved in with his grandfather, a concrete mason who instilled a strong work ethic in young Nash. Of his grandfather, Nash recalls "He came out of a bad time for blacks in the South, but even though we lived in the hood, we had a boat, some cars and a house that was paid for. So I’ve always had a different outlook on life. There’s nothing I can’t do."

He went away in a cold box
In a cold box, he went
On to meet those who died before
Those who died before he went
Away in a cold box
And around him, we wailed
Everybody cried, everybody wailed
He went away in a cold box
Dead.
Everybody cried, everybody wailed
He went away in a cold box
Dead.
(Dead, Dead, Dead-0, Dead)
He looked so young, in this cold box
Where breathless, he lay
Leaving those who needed him alive
Alive for a long long while
He looked so young, in this cold box
And around him we wailed
Everybody cried, everybody wailed
He went away in a cold box
Dead.
Everybody cried, everybody wailed
He went away in a cold box
Dead.
(Dead, Dead, Dead-0, Dead)
He went first but
Later we shall go
Away in a cold box
Who knows the Laws of Sadness
They always rule at night, I guess
While we cease to pretend, at last
Nevertheless,
Who will rescue me and,
Who will rescue you
Who will carry my guilt
As I walk silent and slow
Waiting for tears to come
I know they should do so
But they don't,
Why is it so?
Why is it so?
I'm losing parts of you, oohh...
Why is it so?
Parts of myself, also
Back in the time
Of lullabies and wine
What happened to our love, at least we
Made it last for a while
Now take a look at us
There's a hole in time
Who knows why?
Who will rescue me and,
Who will rescue you
Who will carry my guilt
As I walk silent and slow
Waiting for tears to come
But they won't even show
Why is it so?
Why is it so?
I'm losing parts of you, oohh.
Why is it so?
Parts of myself, also
Who knows the Laws of Sadness
They always rule at night, I guess
Down on luck
I can hardly say
I'm down on luck
I've monopolized
Your life too long
I know that certainly
Something's going wrong
Times are tough
I can hardly say
That times are tough
But all around us
Friends are so confused
And you have so much to give
And nothing to lose
(chorus)
Don't look back
Walk away
Burn the past
Live today
People change
Who cares why?
Don't grow old
You never die.
Celebration
Beinf alive was cause
For celebration
But I'm obliged to say
I feel so sad
They'll lose
The optimist supposedly mad
You know you'll be all right
Don't you worry
Cause you know
You'll be all right
There's one thing
You must believe
I love you
Here alone, tonight
I really do...
