A governor (from French gouverneur) is a governing official, usually the executive (at least nominally, to different degrees also politically and administratively) of a non-sovereign level of government, ranking under the head of state. In federations, a governor may be the title of each appointed or elected politician who governs a constituent state.
In countries, the heads of the constitutive states, provinces, communities and regions may be titled Governor, although this is less common in parliamentary systems such as in some European nations and many of their former colonies, which use titles such as President of the Regional Council in France and Ministerpräsident in Germany, where in some states there are governorates (German: Regierungsbezirke) as sub-state administrative regions. Other countries using different titles for sub-national units include Spain and Switzerland.
The title also lies, historically, to executive officials acting as representatives of a chartered company which has been granted exercise of sovereignty in a colonial area, such as the British HEIC or the Dutch VOC. These companies operate as a major state within a state with its own armed forces.
Curtis James Jackson III (born July 6, 1975), better known by his stage name 50 Cent, is an American rapper, entrepreneur, investor, record producer, and actor. He rose to fame with the release of his albums Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2003) and The Massacre (2005). His album Get Rich or Die Tryin' has been certified eight times platinum by the RIAA.
Born in the South Jamaica of Queens, New York City, Jackson began drug dealing at the age of twelve during the 1980s crack epidemic. After leaving drug dealing to pursue a rap career, he was shot at and struck by nine bullets during an incident in 2000. After releasing his album Guess Who's Back? in 2002, Jackson was discovered by rapper Eminem and signed to Interscope Records. With the help of Eminem and Dr. Dre, who produced his first major commercial successes, Jackson became one of the world's highest selling rappers. In 2003, he founded the record label G-Unit Records, which signed several successful rappers such as Young Buck, Lloyd Banks, and Tony Yayo.
Howard Allan Stern (born January 12, 1954) is an American radio personality, television host, author, actor and photographer best known for his radio show which was nationally syndicated from 1986 to 2005. He gained wide recognition in the 1990s where he was labeled a "shock jock" for his outspoken and sometimes controversial style. Stern has been exclusive to Sirius XM Radio, a subscription-based satellite radio service, since 2006. The son of a former recording and radio engineer, Stern wished to pursue a career in radio at the age of five. While at Boston University he worked at the campus station WTBU before a brief stint at WNTN in Newton, Massachusetts.
He developed his on-air personality when he landed positions at WRNW in Briarcliff Manor, WCCC in Hartford and WWWW in Detroit. In 1981, he was paired with his current newscaster and co-host Robin Quivers at WWDC in Washington, D.C. Stern then moved to WNBC in New York City in 1982 to host afternoons until his firing in 1985. He re-emerged on WXRK that year, and became one of the most popular radio personalities during his 20-year tenure at the station. Stern's show is the most-fined radio program, after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued fines to station licensees for allegedly indecent material that totaled $2.5 million. Stern has won Billboard's Nationally Syndicated Air Personality of the Year award eight times, and is one of the highest-paid figures in radio.

'The Old Ways' is a nightmare comedy about a world in which justice has been reduced to a grotesque spectacle. A young boy is to be hung for murder. For politically-motivated reasons, as elderly executioner has been chosen to preside over the ceremony despite the fact that he is woefully out of practice. As an audience of witnesses watches through a two-way mirror, the execution spirals out of the bumbling executioner's control, descending into a horrific farce.

Mahmoud discovers who the real forger is and goes to the Mukhtar, whose son assumes Mahmud has come to denounce him. He sets off to burn down Mahmoud's house; tragedy follows. At Mahmud's side through his troubles is Mabruq, the village fool who, like others, particularly a young woman named Jamilah, still suffers from witnessing horrors in the 1948 war.

Bunuel's first feature has more of a plot than _Un chien andalou (1929)_ (qv), but it's still a pure Surrealist film, so this is only a vague outline. A man and a woman are passionately in love with one another, but their attempts to consummate that passion are constantly thwarted, by their families, the Church and bourgeois society.

Banned for over 50 years [Australia Theatrical]
A surrealist masterpiece.
Wait! There's something up ahead.
I've seen its claws I can see the marks it left.
Well fed and eating with a thousand hands.
This coma of factory and bars won't last
It's numbing power and it's never winding heart.
So climb what you can before it's gone
And always carry in your lungs
The prettiest voice from drowning as you drag this swamp
'Cause the smell will stay with you for so long
The past can only stretch for so long
The last can only stretch, so long so long so long
So we wait until it's overhead
[Chorus]
Everytime we break up, its like we make up just to do it again
(Here we go again)
Tell me how I can prove to you, that your my closest friend
(Here we go again)
Everytime you pick up my phone, you starting sh-t again
(Here we go again)
I just wanna love you, don’t wanna fight cause I can’t win
(here we go again)
[50 Cent]
Why would I wanna fight with you
Beefing with you is worthless
Cause I think God made you for me
We match together perfect
You’re acting insecure
Why don’t you think I would stay with you
Girl if its up to me I’ll spend forever and a day with you
Engagement, ring ring, 10 carat bling bling
I be on that boss shit
I’ll BB on that boss shit
Benz’s, Porsches, Ferrari’s, Roll’s
I’ll let you drive em all
So we can have a ball
[Chorus]
Everytime we break up, its like we make up just to do it again
(Here we go again)
Tell me how I can prove to you, that your my closest friend
(Here we go again)
Everytime you pick up my phone, you starting sh-t again
(Here we go again)
I just wanna love you, don’t wanna fight cause I can’t win
(here we go again)
[50 Cent - Verse 2]
And again, you don’t hear me, when I talk to you
When bills come I pay the bills, I’m doing what I’m supposed to do
For Christs sake, give me a break
I shake the jake to get the cake
Thats why we straight I’m outta state
I’m putting food on our plate
The bickering make the love feel like hate
Your my soulmate, us being together is our fate
Leaving me would be a big mistake
Wrong move to make
Apart both of us would be in bad shape
[Chorus]
Your love compares to your love
Girl you take me higher
If you wanna fight me
Go head and fight me
Till you tire
I’m for you
You for me
In the end we gon see
You and me it’s meant to be
But as of right now, here we go again
"you know, life has a funny way of showing things sometimes...
(verse1)
It was standing room only, shoulder to shoulder in a crowded room,
when I saw her for the first time,
on a summer evening in June
She took my breathe away, stop my heart, and tore my world apart-
and I didn't even know her name.
what a hell of a way to start
I bought her a drink, we had a conversation that made me think,
could she be the one, to be my flowers, moon, stars and sun
That sweet summer breeze enough to bring a strong man to his knees
When I asked her her name she said "Please to meet ya',
My name is"...
(chorus)
Desitny... That means I'm the way.
Til ya can't push me away... (you can't push)
Destiny... I may not have been here yesterday,
but I been always on my way-
(verse2)
I took her for a walk down by the oceanside
she put her feet in the water-
She opened up to me, and started confessin'
There ain't nothin' harder...
Then to tell the truth, bout your secrets,
skeletons in your closet-
Things that God only know, sh*t that you ain't supposed to let go
But she said inside, she felt like that it was her duty
From now and ever more, to always be true to me
I asked her "Sweetie, why tryna talk to me. like you're my wife?"
She said I been tryna tell you my name all night,
but now hope you get it right... My name is...
(chorus)
Desitny... (Destiny, love you girl) That means I'm the way.
Til ya can't push me away...
Destiny... I may not have been here yesterday,
but I been always on my way- (I'm your)
Destiny... and the choice ain't even yours
ain't even yours to choose...(Love your)
Destiny... and I'm always with you,
whether you win, or you lose
(verse3)
It wasn't a year later, my heart jumped on that elevator
It took me straight upstairs to ask the man himself for
some consulation-
What am I to do? I got myself in a tight situation,
I know that I love her, but still I got a few inhibitions.
I don't wanna move to fast- and I don't wanna move to slow
but there so much about life, that I still just don't know
As I got up off my knees, and I ended my prayer
when I opened up my eyes, guess who was standing right there.(my)
(chorus)
Desitny... That means I'm the way.
Til ya can't push me away...
Destiny... I may not have been here yesterday,
but I been always on my way-(I'm your)
Destiny... and the choice ain't even yours
ain't even yours to choose...(Love your)
Destiny... and I'm always with you,
whether you win, or you lose
I got everything on the line, I'm right here on the ground, trying to get it right
At least you could wish me luck
You can move the way, trying to get the day, I'm in another ...
At least you could wish me luck
... it's, I'm moving but I'm stray
At least you could wish me luck
I took ..., me I'm your wishing man
At least you could wish me luck
To win and make a streak, it's hard to turn a snake
...than I'm straight, at least you could wish me luck
But these ain't that good, these niggers is ...
They tell him what's going on that's how they know what's happening
I'm riding with the top down, trunk full of ...
Get a pharmaceutical, I move that Coca-Cola
Thousand ... I fuck with the weirdos
It's not a way to pain thing they doping their vein
Sure they're fine, Christmas ain't coming this pop's locked up
When they heard the worst, aces lost knocked up
Warfare an option, the feds come knocking
It's all fucked up, so wish me luck
At least you could wish me luck
You can move the way, trying to get the day, I'm in another ...
At least you could wish me luck
... it's, I'm moving but I'm stray
At least you could wish me luck
I took ..., me I'm your wishing man
At least you could wish me luck
To win and make a streak, it's hard to turn a snake
...than I'm straight, at least you could wish me luck
Hustling down the veteran, trust me I'm a gentleman
Niggers get to talking about me
Harder than this ever been, imagine what they're telling them
When they get to stitching you, see
I'm cut from a difficult, I get you to let it go
Before they testify I'll be, right where I need to be
... cheer in me, in the barrow and 3d
I got everything on the line, I'm right here on the ground, trying to get it right
At least you could wish me luck
You can move the way, trying to get the day, I'm in another ...
At least you could wish me luck
it's, I'm moving but I'm stray
At least you could wish me luck
I took ..., me I'm your wishing man
At least you could wish me luck
To win and make a streak, it's hard to turn a snake
...than I'm straight, at least you could wish me luck
I stash for rainy days, where ... right away, ...feel
...Lord have mercy on me
Me I've seen brighter days, telling you right away
There is a place for me?
My Lord just said I'm safe, we just beat the case
The verdict then we'll see
I got everything on the line, I'm right here on the ground, trying to get it right
At least you could wish me luck
You can move the way, trying to get the day, I'm in another ...
At least you could wish me luck
it's, I'm moving but I'm stray
At least you could wish me luck
I took ..., me I'm your wishing man
At least you could wish me luck
To win and make a streak, it's hard to turn a snake
...than I'm straight, at least you could wish me luck
You could wish me luck, wish me luck
it's hard on hell so please wish me luck
all we been through, wish me luck

Hello.. [x9]
[T.I. - Verse 1]
Hey, what's happenin'?
It's been a minute, huh? I'm just hollerin'
How you doin?
It's been a minute since I seen ya,
I fell off for the scene,
Cuz it seem like you wanted other things than da king,
Why you fightin', fussin', cussin', and disagreein' wit da king?
When you got cribs, cars, bling, and a king wit da king?
Is the grass as green as it seemed in ya dreams,
Are you gettin all the things that you needed and I ain't bring,
Does it satisfy your self-esteem bein seen on da screen,
Is this new nigga the real thing or is just a lil' fling?
Did he buy a nice bracelet and get ya a lil' ring?
Or give you all the attention and the lil' things?
He know what to do with the stuff you stuff in them lil' jeans?
Do he stand up and lean in it 'til you start screamin'?
Or smack your ass and kiss your G-String to start eatin? (muah),
You get how you need it, not only when it's convenient,
I just pick up the phone and call you every week or two to let you know I miss you,
To see how that other nigga treatin' you.
[Hook - Governor]
I remember morning, noon, and night,
I used to hold you tight,
I know we used to fuss and fight ,
But I'm just calling to say (hello) Hello, (hello, oh baby)
See time has a funny way of keeping us close,
Even though we never stayed, toghether,
I just wanted to say (hello) hello (hello)
[T.I. - Verse 2]
Hello?
Ay, it's me,
Hey, what's happenin? How ya doin?
I know plenty of niggas pursuin' them panties, all for the screwin',
Fly you down to Miami,
Let you walk the red carpet wit a ? at da Grammys,
But I'm what he can never be, a boss, understand me?
He pose and take ? things he buy for ya,
He got you a rose, but that don't mean he'd die for ya,
Hey, maybe I got too much pride to cry for ya,
But not too much to call you and tell you that I adore ya,
And tell you how I'm missin you, lovin you, and kissin you,
And think about the good old days and wanna visit you,
This song I'd like to listen to whenever reminisicin' you,
You, stay on my mind nevermind how I picture you,
Think about the past and all the time that I spent witchu,
Rubbin on that ass from behind as I dig in you,
Never been a doubt in my mind that I was diggin' you,
How I love you shorty, you'll never find another nigga to
[Hook x1 - Governor]
[Governor - Verse 3]
Every now and then I think of you,
And I can't lie I be wantin' you,
But I understand that I'm not your man,
And I also know that the future's not in your hands
Every now and then I'd call you to say how you doin,
And baby I miss you,
Girl, this is just to say hello,
Hello Baby.
[Hook x1 Governor]
Chorus:
I’ve got my business,
But sometimes is hard to handle this crazy life
Plus all these haters got me switching and the haters try to handle
Try to handle this crazy life
I’m riding on my own now
Got car and a crib, now
Got … don’ stop, no
A lot of pressure to keep it all together!
Got rumors of a lay off
I told the bill to let the hold off..
Another unexpected expense, it just don’t make sense.

But sometimes is hard to handle this crazy life

I’m just trying to maintain, and this don’t make sense!

Good Lord, don't know the pain
Sometimes women don't understand
What men be going through
When a good man is looking right at you
Ain't this ghetto for you baby, listen girl
I'm a son of pain, I was born to this game
At another age, wishing I could turn the page
At seven and four, mama pulled a trigger
And daddy couldn't figure how to stand arranged
[Incomprehensible] to say the least, got the rage of a beast
The pride of a warrior ain't afraid to come blazing for you
Sometimes I feel that my life is going up in smoke, trying not to choke
Cause death, it ain't no joke, oh, no, no no, no
You see [Incomprehensible], they came to sign on the lyrics
But what they saying if they had to live it
Most would fear and then erase the track
Ain't got the heart to spin it
You don't know the pain I feel
You don't know what it took
To blood, sweat & tears
This ghetto rain, can you feel my pain?
So tell me what do you know
About your alarm clock ringing
Five thirty in the morning, same old song you singing
It's the hell of waking up when you just went to sleep
You got to meet the man
'Cause your job you're trying to keep
But thirty percent of what you're making is already taken
It's the time for a race but the boss keeps on faking, oh girl
It's the survival of the fittest, ain't no rules to the spinners
So get what you can take, take what you can get
Counting on paper you ain't made yet
Oh, no, no, no, no
You see life is a gamble, are you willing to bet?
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
The choice is yours to choose
Oh, baby, what will you do?
You don't know the pain I feel
You don't know what it took
To blood, sweat & tears
This ghetto rain, can you feel my pain?
Can you feel my pain, baby?
All I wanna know, ain't this ghetto for you, yeah, yeah
Ain't this ghetto for you, yeah, hey
Ain't this ghetto for you, yeah, hey
Ain't this ghetto for you, yeah, hey
Good Lord
How can one country boy be so ghetto
Can you feel my pain, baby? Take it or leave it girl
Feel my pain, baby, take your girl and step off
