The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, usually abbreviated as NAACP, is an African-American civil rights organization in the United States, formed in 1909. Its mission is "to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate racial hatred and racial discrimination". Its name, retained in accordance with tradition, uses the once common term colored people.
The NAACP bestows the annual Image Awards for achievement in the arts and entertainment, and the annual Spingarn Medals for outstanding positive achievement of any kind, on deserving African Americans. It has its headquarters in Baltimore, Maryland.
The NAACP's headquarters are in Baltimore, Maryland, with additional regional offices in California, New York, Michigan, Colorado, Georgia, Texas and Maryland. Each regional office is responsible for coordinating the efforts of state conferences in the states included in that region. Local, youth, and college chapters organize activities for individual members.
Matthew Todd "Matt" Lauer (born December 30, 1957) is an American television journalist best known as the host of NBC's The Today Show since 1997. He was previously a news anchor in New York City and a local talk-show host in Boston, Philadelphia, Providence and Richmond. He was also host of PM Magazine (or "Evening Magazine" 1980-1986) and worked for ESPN in the 1980s as a sideline reporter. In the early 1990s, Lauer hosted segments of HBO Entertainment News.
He was born in New York City, the son of Marilyn Kolmer, a boutique owner, and Jay Robert Lauer, a bicycle-company executive. Lauer is of Romanian descent on his father's side, as seen on the Today Show's Finding Our Roots. His parents divorced during his youth, and his father died in 1997. Lauer had become co-host of The Today Show replacing longtime host Bryant Gumbel in early 1997, not long before his father's death. In 1999, both Lauer and his co-host Katie Couric initially resisted participation in Today's proposed series about their family roots. The series turned out to be a hit, and Lauer was moved by what he learned about his immigrant ancestors. "My dad was Jewish. My mom is not. So I was not raised anything. I do feel a desire now to find something spiritual. Getting married and wanting to have kids has something to do with that."
Robert James "Bob" Ritchie (born January 17, 1971), known by his stage name Kid Rock, is an American singer-songwriter, musician, multi-instrumentalist and rapper with five Grammy Awards nominations. Kid Rock released several studio albums that mostly went unnoticed before his 1998 record Devil Without a Cause, released with Atlantic Records, sold 11 million albums behind the hits, "Bawitdaba", "Cowboy", and "Only God Knows Why". In 2000, he released The History of Rock, a compilation of remixed and remastered versions of songs from previous albums as well as the hit single, "American Bad Ass" and the previously unreleased "Abortion".
Kid Rock released the follow-up in 2001, Cocky. After a slow start, his country-flavored hit "Picture" with Sheryl Crow resurrected the album and it went gold as a single and pushed the album's sales over 5 million. It was followed by 2003's self-titled release, which went platinum in the USA and reached No. 8 on the Billboard charts. In 2006 he released Live Trucker, a greatest hits live album that went mostly unnoticed.

No no,
Nooo no
Where should I start?
I don't wanna break her heart.
The phone rings and it's you
You beg me to come home
And the truth is girl you think, I'm in the studio
For a moment I was there
And then I ended up here
Now I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place,
What is this I'm gonna face,
If she ever finds out
(Should I just go)
And do what my heart tells me to
(But I cannot let go)
You don't know what I'm goin through
(How did I get)...
Caught up in this sticky situation that I'm facing.
How do I? Say to my girl that I've been cheating.
How can I? Try to explain the late night creeping.
How do I? Tell her the truth and it not end.
How do I? Say I've been cheating with your best friend.
Your best friend, best friend.
I've been cheating with your best friend,
Your best friend, best friend, No no no no
Babygirl it's been tearing me apart,
And it really hurts my heart that I gotta be telling you this.
Even tho I know it's gonna be the end
I couldn't hold it any longer and keep lying to myself
I never wanted to see you cry
You think I'm messed up I know why
Maybe it's my past coming to haunt me
But I'm just doin exactly what she taught me.
(Should I just go)
And do what my heart tells me to
(But I cannot let go)
You don't know what I'm goin through
(How did I get)...
Caught up in this sticky situation that I'm facing.
How do I? Say to my girl that I've been cheating.
How can I? Try to explain the late night creeping.
How do I? Tell her the truth and it not end.
How do I? Say I've been cheating with your best friend.
Your best friend, your best friend.
I've been cheating with your best friend,
Your best friend, your best friend,

[Verse 1:]
I always heard that love could hurt someone
But never imagine that it could hurt this way
And I always saw peole in love
To myself I said someday that be me (ooohhh yyeees)
And den you came into my life (came in to my life)
And eventhough my guards where up
I still decide to trust you
And ever since you looked into in my eyes
And told me girl you had to leave
It's killing me
Ooo baby!
[Chorus:]
Can anybody out there
Hear me when I cry (hear me when I cry)
Cause I'm hurting inside (cause I'm hurting inside)
Can anybody out there
Mend this broken heart (mend this broken heart)
And wipe these tears from my eyes (eyes)
[Verse 2:]
I guess it's just a likkle thing called karma
All the many girls life's
That are filled with drama
Many other daughters that cry to mama
Saying "mom he broke my heart in two"
But what goes around comes back around
And I guess it was it's time to come to me, baby
It's killing me
Ooooo baby!
[Chorus:]
Can anybody out there
Hear me when I cry (hear me when I cry)
Cause I'm hurting inside (cause I'm hurting inside)
Can anybody out there
Mend this broken heart (mend this broken heart)
And wipe these tears from my eyes (eyes)
[Verse 3:]
I thought this love was meant to be
I guess that I was wrong
I fell for you so easliy
And now you're moving on
Now I have to live my life
Without the thing I thought
Was the best part (the best part)
[Chorus:]
Can anybody out there
Hear me when I cry (hear me when I cry)
Because I'm hurting inside (cause I'm hurting inside)
Can anybody out there
Mend this broken heart (mend this broken heart)
And wipe these tears from my eyes (eyes)
[Chorus:]
Can anybody out there
Hear me when I cry (hear me when I cry)
Because I'm hurting inside, inside, inside (cause I'm hurting inside)
Can anybody out there
Mend this broken heart (mend this broken heart)
[Chorus:]
All I want is to be your man why don't you why don't you understand that here I am w my heart in my hands cuss girl I'm in love girl I'm in love.
