Oprah Winfrey (born Orpah Gail Winfrey; January 29, 1954) is an American media proprietor, talk show host, actress, producer, and philanthropist. Winfrey is best known for her self-titled, multi-award-winning talk show, which has become the highest-rated program of its kind in history and was nationally syndicated from 1986 to 2011. She has been ranked the richest African-American of the 20th century, the greatest black philanthropist in American history, and was for a time the world's only black billionaire. She is also, according to some assessments, the most influential woman in the world.
Winfrey was born into poverty in rural Mississippi to a teenage single mother and later raised in an inner-city Milwaukee neighborhood. She experienced considerable hardship during her childhood, claiming to be raped at age nine and becoming pregnant at 14; her son died in infancy. Sent to live with the man she calls her father, a barber in Tennessee, Winfrey landed a job in radio while still in high school and began co-anchoring the local evening news at the age of 19. Her emotional ad-lib delivery eventually got her transferred to the daytime-talk-show arena, and after boosting a third-rated local Chicago talk show to first place, she launched her own production company and became internationally syndicated.
Avram Noam Chomsky (/ˈnoʊm ˈtʃɒmski/; born December 7, 1928) is an American linguist, philosopher,cognitive scientist, historian, and activist. He is an Institute Professor and Professor (Emeritus) in the Department of Linguistics & Philosophy at MIT, where he has worked for over 50 years. Chomsky has been described as the "father of modern linguistics" and a major figure of analytic philosophy. His work has influenced fields such as computer science, mathematics, and psychology.
Ideologically identifying with anarcho-syndicalism and libertarian socialism, Chomsky is known for his critiques of U.S. foreign policy and contemporary capitalism, and he has been described as a prominent cultural figure. His media criticism has included Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media (1988), co-written with Edward S. Herman, an analysis articulating the propaganda model theory for examining the media.
According to the Arts and Humanities Citation Index in 1992, Chomsky was cited as a source more often than any other living scholar from 1980 to 1992, and was the eighth most cited source overall. Chomsky is the author of over 100 books. He is credited as the creator or co-creator of the Chomsky hierarchy, the universal grammar theory, and the Chomsky–Schützenberger theorem.
Having reservations
Forthwith heighten madden
People strangely
Taken greedy fatten
Nobody will see
Most unhappily
No one seeming only me
Only me
[Chorus]
We must be betrayed hearts
Cuts in me steals from us
Impossible to change
Whole worlds's given name
So freely and break from the normal setting
I sure hope the light gets in
Consciousness begin
A way to see the source again
Source again
[Repeat Chorus]
Want to hate everyone
everyone
It seems so sad to think that tomorrows gone
Tomorrows gone
You'll say it wasn't
Want to hate everyone
everyone
It seems so sad to want to hate everyone

(to fade ...)
It's time for chase,
Now turn around and say
Coz there will be history
It's been a year and a half
Don't like to think about destiny
What would it be?
My one and only,
If i could be on my own
All those empty page
Just make no difference
We're starting all over again
It's my responsibility
If i could only turn back time
Turn back the pages of my life
What if i just swallowed my pride?
Maybe then you'll still be at my side
If i could only hold your love
I'll ask the heavens above
If i just bow down with this smile
Made it out the door before the phone rang
Made it out the door before the phone rang
Knowing the time ain't gonna get me there quicker
Knowing the time ain't gonna get me there quicker
Don't bother me, I'm havin' a good time
Don't bother me, I'm havin' a good time
Don't know myself but now my back against the wall
Don't know myself but now my back against the wall
Responsibility, responsibility workin'
Double shifts and not getting any sleep workin'
Double shifts and not getting any sleep
I finally found a day to spend on myself
I finally found a day but someone bought my health
Had a little money in my pocket for a minute
A little money in my pocket but it's gone my time is runnin' out and my chances are few
It wouldn't look so easy if you only knew
I don't want this responsibility
And don't use me because I don't agree
Why lie, do or die?
Why lie, do or?
Responsibility? What's that?
Responsibility? not quite yet
Responsibility? What's that?
I don't want to think about it; we'd be better off without it
You think I'm so simplistic
I'm onto you and your tricks
I'm still young and I'd like to stay that way
'Cause growing up won't make everything okay
I'm still young and I'd like to stay that way
I've got a voice and I've got a lot to say
(Jawad)
Growing up listening to my mother talking to me about the day when Imma become a man
(When you become a man)
Conversations with my father stressing the fact that life is a test One day youll understand
(Youll understand)
Saying We dont expect you to know any better right now but down the road things will change
(Things will change)
And as youre growing older gotta put more on your shoulders, so be strong through all the pain
(Strong through all the pain)
So basically all my life Ive been waiting for that day to apply all that my parents taught me
(My parents taught me)
Now Im starting to realize all the things they described are starting to creep up on me
(Creep up on me)
As long as Im aware of what is there, tomorrow will come and Ill be prepared
(Ill be prepared)
Another day will pass, I know that days approaching fast, gotta be responsible
(I gotta learn to be responsible)
(Chorus)
Gotta be careful with what I do
I gotta control what I say
Responsibility
Gotta learn to listen to that reasonable voice
Im bout to make my own choices
Responsibility
(Akbar)
Growing up pushed around, stressing now just to hold my ground but I gotta learn to swallow my pride
(Swallow my pride)
Just a boy grown too fast, forced himself to be a man, ready for the big sacrifice
(The big sacrifice)
My mother taught me how to get through life
I never had to give just sacrifice
Now I tried so hard just to build that trust
Head up, back straight, hands down now I must
Move on, with my head strong
Cant afford to make mistakes now Im grown
Gotta learn, to be ready for that burn
The respect I earn is here to stay
For the day I pray
Theres no way I could turn around
Gotta learn to live to accept my doubts
Surrounded by many conditions
I gotta take my time cuz now Im responsible
Responsible for my actions my choices my ways
Responsible for these days
(Jawad & Akbar)
Living in the present but the future is now
I gotta learn from the past gotta turn it around
Gotta realize that actions speak volumes
And now the younger generations copy all that I do
(So I gotta)
(Chorus)
Im responsible
Repeat 3x
Poor ole surrender Mimosa
Finally burnt out by the sun
I feel pretty burnt out myself
When the long, hot summer is done
Summertime's long been my favorite
Now I can't grab it no more
Can't find no time for a fish on the line
Or that swing in the old Sycamore
I'm in such a hurry now
It starts to worry me
Stop an' smell the roses?
Baby, I can't hardly see
No, I ain't forgotten just how good it all can be
But I've got so much responsibility
Got so much responsibility
Baby, you know how I'm working
Sorry I'm busy so much
Sorry those days when the world went our way
Are so hard to return to an' to touch
Maybe our future looks brighter
Maybe our ship will come in
Maybe these years an' these muletrain careers
Will be things we won't think about then
But I'm in such a hurry now
It start to worry me
Stop an' smell the roses?
Baby I can't hardly see
No, I ain't forgotten just how good it all can be
But I've got so much responsibility
Got so much responsibility
Competition's heavy on a hard line wreckin' crew
The good ones never leave
An' still there's always someone new
Pressure comes down hard up on a top notch rivet team
We don't get time to pace ourselves
We don't stand around and dream
Poor ole surrender Mimosa
Finally burnt out by the heat
I feel pretty burnt out myself
When I make that ole turn down our street
Summertime's long been my favorite
Now it's ole autumn I love
Summertime fun on some beach in the sun
Is not somethin' I'm seein' much of
I'm in such a hurry now
It starts to worry me
Stop an' smell the roses?
Baby, I can't hardly see
No, I ain't forgotten just how good it all can be
But I've got so much responsibility
Got so much responsibility
It's not my responsibility
If you say you love me
(ooooooh)
(repeat paragraph)
I know for sometime
One day I would see you
(? ) what you say
Did I get it right
Is it you and me tonight?
And you looked at me
And I knew we'd be together
(be together)
You feel it too
What can we do
(feel, what can you do)
Come on, move up to me
I wanna whisper in your ear now
(do you want me)
When I get you home
We're gonna be alone
Disconnect the phone
When we wake up
You know the room is full of sunshine
We close our eyes and make a wish
It's not my responsibility
If you say you love me
(listen to what I say)
(ooooooh)
It's not my responsibility
If you say you love me
(it's true)
(ooooooh)
Hey! you call me back
'cause I'm not there when you want me
(do you want me)
The job on the phone
Every night and day
I've got to get away
And on that we kiss
But I never said I loved you
(I love you)
Let's take it slow
You've got to, got to let it go
It's not my responsibility
If you say you love me
(ooooooh)
(repeat paragraph)
(want you back, I need you back)
(ooooooh)
(repeat paragraph 5 times)
(want you back)
(I know I do)
(I need you back)
(I feel you do)
(want you back)
(I see you do)
(I need you back)
(I know you do)
(repeat paragraph)
What do you see
When you're looking straight at me
When I look at you
I tell you what I see
You don't belong to me
Sometimes it's true
You're gonna leave it when it's over
(it's over)
I close my eyes and make a wish
It's not my responsibility
If you say you love me
(ooooooh)
