In music:
Radric Davis (born February 2, 1980), better known by his stage name Gucci Mane, is an American rapper. He debuted in 2005 with Trap House and followed with albums such as Hard to Kill in 2006, Trap-A-Thon and Back to the Trap House in 2007. In 2009, his second studio album The State vs. Radric Davis was released, and The Appeal: Georgia's Most Wanted was released in 2010, and is his highest charting album so far. Gucci Mane has released many other mixtapes and independent albums as well.
While serving a six-month jail term for assault in late 2005, Davis was charged with murder, though the charges were later dropped due to a lack of evidence. In 2009, he served a year-long county jail sentence for violating probation for his 2005 aggravated assault conviction.
Davis was born in Birmingham, Alabama, and later moved with his single mother to Atlanta. He enjoyed writing poetry as a child, and began rapping at age 14.
In 2005, Davis released his independent debut album entitled Trap House, which featured the successful single "Icy" with Young Jeezy. Disputes over the rights to this single caused a rift between the two artists. Hard to Kill followed in 2006. Hard To Kill included the hit single "Freaky Gurl". The song peaked at number 12 on the Hot Rap Tracks, number 19 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and at number 62 on the Hot 100.
24 hours, split three ways.
Because you bought one third, you own everything.
Shut off the possibility, and wipe out the imagination.
Now the world stands still.
I'll take it with me to my grave.
Wrap your hands around my neck.
Now choke me slowly, but I won't die.
I know one thing, and one thing only: you are what you learn to need.
I'll surround myself with things that look like me.
Salty skin on my body
Sweated pores like rain
I can feel the attack
But I'm known to pain
The cold is creeping in
And it chills my veins
I've got one more minute
24 hours to go
No redemption in my heart
No illusions owned for start
What I did I can't take back
There's no use in wishing that
The bell is ringing now
And the clock counts down
I got one more minute
24 hours to go
Angels won't help me now
This fate is all mine
Darkness is fading out
And so is my time
Hear the footsteps at my door
I don't struggle anymore
As I take my final breath
I don't feel what lies ahead
I'm leaving to a place
Where I'll see your face
I had one more minute
And 24 hours ago
One more minute
Unbelievable girl what have you done to me
you've changed my world hundred eighty degrees
unbelievable girl you turned my life around
you picked me up when I was down
No one nowhere no one compares to you my girl
what can I do to make you stay forever and a day
More than 24 hours a day need you by my side girl I need you to stay
never felt before the same kind of way I need you more than 24 hours a day
Unbelievable girl you put a spell on me
nothing's like it used to be
unbelievable girl you make me feel brand new
you turn the sky from grey to blue
No one nowhere no one compares to you my girl
what can I do to make you stay forever and a day
More than 24 hours a day need you by my side girl I need you to stay
never felt before the same kind of way I need you more than 24 hours a day
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
wanna hold you so close wanna feel your heart beating
I never felt before the same kind of way
I love you more than words can say
More than 24 hours a day need you by my side girl I need you to stay
never felt before the same kind of way I need you more than 24 hours a day
A crime-ridden city
confined within these walls
a place without pity
a place of sin...
No rules apply here
among this desperate crowd
once you go in
you are never coming out
You've got 24 hours
to change the course of history
just 24 hours, your time is running out!
You've got 24 hours
to trace our man and set him free
our very last chance
our fate is in your hands!
You're trapped on this island
your life ticking away
this hotbed of violence
could be your grave...
you're on your own here
no one to save your skin
you better give up
cos there is no way you can win
You've got 24 hours
to change the course of history
just 24 hours, your time is running out!
You've got 24 hours
to trace our man and set him free
our very last chance
our fate is in your hands!
Too many died for an empty cause
too many died all in vain
too many died for your senseless laws
count me out, I will never be a part of this game
Too many died for an empty cause
too many died all in vain
too many died for your senseless laws
count me out, I will never be a part of this game
A crime-ridden city
confined within these walls
a place without pity
a place of sin...
No rules apply here

once you go in
you are never coming out
You've got 24 hours
to change the course of history

our very last chance
our fate is in your hands!
Too many died for an empty cause
too many died all in vain
too many died for your senseless laws
Fragile, handle with care
You fall in love then you lose your head
For the last 24 hours,
Well I've been crying my heart out
This time hoping for the better
Been down seems like forever
For the next 24 hours
Well I'm yours ohhhhh
You said it was love for the first time
Oh baby baby be mine
Cuz I'm in love in love in love in love with you
It's all good, you dont have to worry
I'm not like that, I'm not in a hurry
Take your time I'm not going nowhere
If you go I will always follow
You said it was love for the first time
Oh baby baby be mine
Cuz I'm in love in love in love in love with you with you with you with you
With you oohh
Would I lie to you?
I've never had a reason to
Something I would never do never do never do
Heeyy
You said it was love for the first time
Oh baby baby be mine
Cuz I'm in love, in love, in love, in love with you
You said it was love for the first time
Oh baby baby be mine
I've been sitting in the dirt (for 24 hours)
I've forgotten what im worth (for 24 hours)
Said that you'd be here last night
I'm trying to shake you from my skin (for 48 hours)
Clean up this mess i've been put in (for 48 hours)
I'm guessing you can't always win
I'm guessing you can't always win
[Chorus]
I can't have anything I want
They say I'm just too young
But it's not my fault
I'll find my own way home if I gotta
I'll make it all alone if I gotta
I'm not so trustful with my friends
I'm on the road alone again
I guess im tired of giving in
I'm sick of wishing you were near
You've gone your way, you've made it clear
Why do I feel you everywhere?
Why do I feel this everywhere?
[Chorus]
I can't have anything I want
They say I'm just too young
But it's not my fault
I'll find my own way home if I gotta
I'll make it all alone if I gotta
Don't wanna spend my time
Watching the world go by
I think I'd rather die
And I dont got a plan
Don't wanna justify
To stay where I stand
Something I won't deny
[Chorus]
I can't have anything I want
They say I'm just too young
But it's not my fault
I'll find my own way home if I gotta
I'll make it all alone if I gotta
[Chorus]
I can't have anything I want
They say I'm just too young
But it's not my fault
I'll find my own way home if I gotta
I'll make it all alone
24 hours

Fragile, handle with care
You fall in love then you lose your head
For the last 24 hours,
Well I've been crying my heart out
This time hoping for the better
Been down seems like forever

You said it was love for the first time
Oh baby baby be mine
Cuz I'm in love, in love, in love, in love with you, with you, with you, with you, with you
I'm pulling my hair out, I can't get to sleep
The bed feels so empty, I can still smell you on me
A moment in space, the look on your face when I said "hello"
You stagger to mine, you're still on my mind, why do I feel so low
It could have been forever but we'll never know 24 hours ago
The night was all we had and then I had to go 24 hours ago
We were lovers 24 hours ago
Where did the summer go, everybody's fallen in love
Hey lover I'm in limbo, I can still feel your touch
So look in my eyes and tell me you don't want to run away
I know I was bold but life is too short to catch a heart so cold
It could have been forever but we'll never know 24 hours ago
The night was all we had and then I had to go 24 hours ago
We were lovers just 24 hours ago
How do we conceal that life is not what it should be
Life is not what it seems if you're fraying at the seams
Don't let your heart fray
The night was all we had and then I had to go 24 hours ago
We were lovers just 24 hours ago
[Chorus:]
(Almighty), Almighty, (Incredible), Incredible,
(Amazing), Amazing, (Supernatural), Supernatural
(Wonderful), Wonderful, (Marvelous), Marvelous,
(He Is), He Is, (He Is), He Is
[Verse 1:]
Let creation sing, let the people shout
For His goodness and his mercy
Let us praise Him now
Every knee shall bow
Every tongue proclaim
Giving glory to His Holy Name
[Channel:]
He is the Lord over everything
And let all of creation proclaim, He Is
[Verse 2:]
Let the earth rejoice, let the people dance
To our Savior and Redeemer
We will lift our hands
He's the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings
Here on the street
Feeling the cool of the dawn
Shuffling feet
Faces are ragged and worn
They've been working all night
Waiting for the curtain to rise
While you're under the sheets
You with the stars in your eyes
Letter box noise
Snapping the day into life
Newspaper boys
Cutting the mist like a knife
We're beginning to rise
Curtain up the drama begins
It's the start of the race
All of us wanting to win
People rushing shouting pushing
Got no time for conversation
Inner city population
The struggle for communication
People trying pressure rising
Hook and hustle flex your muscle
It's all part of living
Do you wanna get away
Restaurant smells
Mix in the heat of the day
Telephone bells
Kissogram girls on her way
Someone's thinking of you
Birthday boy is in for a treat
And the message is clear
Once a year life can be sweet
Caught in a flash
Cover girl freezes her smile
Media trash
Blinding the crowd with such style
It's a dazzling affair
A fantasy to star in your dreams
Do you want to believe
Everyone knows what they've seen
Twilight time in the city
And the shutters are down
That's when the singles are lost in their doubles
The happy hour comes round
To help you unwind in the shadows
Takes the tension away
It's been a hell of a day in the city
Now it's your time to play
Living under pressure
Do you wanna buy a dream?
I say Phil can you get it he say
Alright alright alright
Tell me when can I get it he say
Tonight tonight tonight
I want money on delivery hey
That's right that's right that's right
I say baby don't you trust me he say
The city's a jungle where the strongest survive
Neonic heat
Flooding the darkness with light
The capitol beats
Feeding the pulse of the night
It's the music of life
Listen to the sound of the crowd
Where the rhythm's so strong
And the music is playing so loud
Where the rhythm's so strong
And the music is playing so...
24, 24, 24 hours
The city doesn't sleep, 7 days a week
24, 24, 24 hours
We're leaving on a fast plane
24 hours, 24 hours
7 days a week
24 hours, 24 hours
I'm leaving on a fast plane
Dowtown, entertainment, love town, business
All around the clock, all around the world
Get faster, faster, get with this
24 hours of action, of happening satisfaction
You better stay strong 7 days a week
Cause the city never sleeps
Tic tac tic tic tac
Around the clock cause there is no doubt
No jump, to move, no more siesta
All right you're fast
You'd better be faster
New York, Rio, Tokyo, London, Paris, here we go
You go, you can feel the heartbeat, the tempo, the city heat
Come, take a chance with the
.
Don't rush the hours the tropic jam
City lights so fast, so fast
No time to take a rest
Tic tac tic tic tac
Around the clock cause there is no doubt
No jump to move no more siesta
All right you're fast

Verse 1
I take a deep breath and unload every thought
Everything I've ever known anything I was taught
When I think I'm on a roll I have to slow down
'cause my words get ahead of myself I know how
To make you feel how I feel my words are so vivid
See how I live it all I got to give is
My pain my stress one blade and one knife
Ends with one slice my name and my life
All rests with my sons so they can do better
I need to be here so we can be together
But life is so hard seeing through these eyes
A world with no heart believing these lies
Can you be strong before your times up
Looking to find what you've made your mind up
There has to be a change so my seeds can reach
Anything they can grasp anything to teach
CHORUS
I got 24 hours to live my whole fate
All I have left in my heart is one take
One breath one sigh one death and one try
One more reason to ask God why?
It's my life it ends when I say
So until my time is up on that day
I'll be who I wanna be, do what I gotta do
Live how I wanna live, prove what I gotta prove
Verse 2
It's not so funny how we live each day
Wake up go to work come home in replay
We say we love life inside it's untrue
Unless you got dollars aside it's not you
I used to wake up call in or just quit
'cause I couldn't stand a boss in my face for dumb shit
You know what I mean that boss with no life
No sense no friends no kids and no wife
Career motivated on an hourly wage
Me well see I'm on a whole other page
I gotta make money man fuck I got kids
Whose father and uncles in time have done bids
Iced out homies only preserve thugs
To get what's deserved or they deserve slugs
If murder was the case that they gave me
Dear God I wonder can you save me
CHORUS
I got 24 hours to live my whole fate
All I have left in my heart is one take
One breath one sigh one death and one try
One more reason to ask God why?
It's my life it ends when I say
So until my time is up on that day
I'll be who I wanna be, do what I gotta do
Live how I wanna live, prove what I gotta prove
Verse 3
What if in one blink you could end all the pressure
Built up inside no one bares to measure
To pain to hide inside with no stress
No tears to be cried outside and no less
Make it all wash away with one scream
One shot one bullet one love and one dream
Gone to a place where mouths never speak
But thoughts convey words peep the technique
My time is coming watch me when I shine
I strive for something watch me when I rhyme
Thoughts race through my head like track stars
A hudred miles an hour inside like fast cars
I can't slow down if I do it's all gone
Everything I've done up 'til now and this song
Ends right here my life and no fear
My fight and my struggle to die with no tears
CHORUS
I got 24 hours to live my whole fate
All I have left in my heart is one take
One breath one sigh one death and one try
One more reason to ask God why?
It's my life it ends when I say
So until my time is up on that day
I'll be who I wanna be, do what I gotta do
VERSE 1.
There's something about this silence
When your heart's ablaze with fire
Did she render you speechless
With her emotion and desire
A danger on the horizon
She moved just like a python
There's something about her that cannot
Be explained
PRE-CHORUS 1.
Wake up from your slumber
To go where thieves have plundered
To fight through rain and thunder
In the chase you are the hunted
CHORUS 1.
24 hours
Your life will change
24 hours
You'll feel the game
24 hours
All is yours to gain
24 hours
You'll numb the pain
24 hours
You'll never feel the same
24 hours 24 hours
To free those from their chains
VERSE 2.
You can't bear to see her crying
The emotions leave you burning
Did she leave you breathless
With her tainted lies
A vengeance she is pining
You can’t ask her what she's hiding
There's something about her that cannot be explained
PRE-CHORUS 2:
Wake up from your slumber
To go where thieves have plundered
To fight through rain and thunder
In the chase you are the hunted
CHORUS 2.
24 hours
Your life will change
24 hours
You'll feel the game
24 hours
All is yours to gain
24 hours
You'll numb the pain
24 hours
You'll never feel the same
24 hours 24 hours
To free those from their chains
BRIDGE
Hold on to your life my darling
Never looking
Back
I trust with you this
Life my darling
Time and time again
CHORUS 3.
24 hours
Your life will change
24 hours
You'll feel the game
24 hours
All is yours to gain
24 hours
You'll numb the pain
24 hours
You'll never feel the same
24 hours 24 hours
24 Hours The light's go down in Baltimore
Blink your eyes the sun is coming up
The radio is playing songs we should have known but
Never seems to be quite loud enough
The traffic lights they match the backlit sky
Colors fade like the forth of July
Maybe I'm not thinking right
Took one day to fall down beneath you
Took one dream to make this the real truth
Another kiss could bring this all into the light
Chorus
And I don't want to be addicted I just want to be that high
Can see the northern lights in your eyes
Don't want the complication I just want to know the truth
Want one more moment in you
7: 30 there's no turning back from here
As the candlelight goes dancing in your eyes
22 years 8 a.m. seems late to me
Now I've lost my concept of time
The clock alarms been going on for days
Why must I dream to see your face
Maybe I'm not thinking right
Took one day to fall down beneath you
Took one dream to make this the real truth
Another kiss could bring this all into the light
Chorus
Bridge
When it's hard enough to speak
When I can't breath
And now you're all I want to see
And I don't want to be addicted I just want to be that high
Can see the northern lights in your eyes
Don't want the complication I just want to know the truth
Want one more moment
In you, In you, In you
24 hours
The lights go up in Washington
I've been lying here and wide awake
Til the night dies out and day to break
Every minute seems like endless hours
When I'm with you
I miss your eyes, your smile, and lovely face
I can't forget your sweet embrace
24 hours a day, I'm in my head
24 hours a day, I'm in my head
Do you? I don't think so
Have you ever thought? Only once but
I was just a boy - God said no and
Do I have the faith to keep it going
*Chorus*
Everything is happening at one time
Twisting turning, swarm of nothing oh my
24 hours a day, I'm in my head
24 hours a day, I'm in my head
Demons, getting stronger
Dealing with the mess, just a little longer
Falling to my knees in desperation
Will I found piece in incantation?
Few true cares have I
As the world turns round
I was blind but
Now I'm still blind
Too few cares have I
As the world turns round
I was blind but
Now I'm still blind
I liked you for 24 hours
In your house
And when the time has come to live again
I shall
And I liked you for 24 hours
In your house
And now the time has come to live again
I shall
I liked you but that was before
Why me?
I never knew then
And I don't know now
O the things you do
All come back to you
That's why I hung back but I'll
So this is permanence, love's shattered pride
What once was innocence, turned on its side
Grey cloud hangs over me, marks every move
Deep in the memory of what once was love
Oh, how I realised, I wanted time
Put in perspective, tried so hard to find
Just for one moment, thought I'd found my way
Destiny unfolded, watched it slip away
Excessive flashpoints, beyond all reach
Solitary demands for all I'd like to keep
Let's take a ride out, see what we can find
A valueless collection of hopes and past desires
I never realised, the lengths I'd have to go
All the darkest corners of a sense I didn't know
Just for one moment I heard someone call
Looked beyond the day in hand, there's nothing there at
Now that I've realised how it's all gone wrong
Got to find some therapy, this treatment takes too long
Deep in the heart of where sympathy held sway
in the warm glow of the morning hour, i whisper your name
Jesus, precious Jesus
be my life today
in gentle breeze or mid day son, i whisper your name
Jesus, precious Jesus
be my life today
in embers of the fading light, i whisper your name
Jesus, precious Jesus
be my life today
in bluest black, and stars aglow
lighting silent skies
Jesus, precious Jesus
I'm saying things that I don't mean
When I look back I don't know what I was thinking
[Chorus:]
Why must I be the one to see only the worst in everything
Maybe another time or day I'll look at things a different way
Too much on my mind to fall asleep
When I wake up tomorrow I'll see things clearly
