A pie is a baked dish which is usually made of a pastry dough casing that covers or completely contains a filling of various sweet or savoury ingredients.
Pies are defined by their crusts. A filled pie (also single-crust or bottom-crust), has pastry lining the baking dish, and the filling is placed on top of the pastry, but left open. A top-crust pie, which may also be called a cobbler, has the filling in the bottom of the dish and the filling covered with a pastry or other covering before baking. A two-crust pie has the filling completely enclosed in the pastry shell. Flaky pastry is a typical kind of pastry used for pie crusts, but many things can be used, including baking powder biscuits, mashed potatoes, and crumbs.
Pies can be a variety of sizes, ranging from bite-size to ones designed for multiple servings.
The need for nutritious, easy-to-store, easy-to-carry, and long-lasting foods on long journeys, in particular at sea, was initially solved by taking live food along with a butcher or cook. However, this took up additional space on what were either horse-powered treks or small ships, reducing the time of travel before additional food was required. This resulted in early armies adopting the style of hunter-foraging.

It's tough to be the Rock!
Oh no, no, shut your mouth! No, no, it really is.
Even though The Rock is...
The Rock is the most electrifying man in all of show biz!
You see, when the Rock gets too much...

He likes to kick back and have a slice of that unadulterated delight!
DING!
Slick Rick: Welcome to Rick's Bakery, can I help...

The Rock: Yeah, The rock, the people's champ in the house.
What's happening, Slick?
Slick Rick: Hey, how're you doing, guy?
Look, you gotta take a picture with me before you leave, guy.
The Rock: Whoa, whoa, The Rock doesn't want to take pictures,
The Rock just wants a piece of pie.

Slick Rick: Oh, I got every pie you can think of.
I've of strawberry pie, blueberry pie, apple pie...
The Rock: Blueberry? What? Oh, no, no, whoa, whoa,
actually, Slick, it doesn't matter what type of pie you have.
Let The Rock tell you a little story about pie...
Driving down South, though quickly aroused,
when my car caught a flat near this old farm house.
I hope somebody's home, takin' a chance at it,
Knocked on the door, and this fine chick answered.
(You're The Rock!) Can I use your phone?
(I'm shakin, sure, if you try some of this pie I'm makin')
Daisy duke shorts on, five foot stood,
Said, "sure, what the heck, I mean it did smell good."
(So she called Rock to the kitchen, towards the vapor)
There's her grandmother, aunt, and a Chinese neighbor?
Well, The Rock is gonna tell you again.
You see, it's tough to be The Rock!
Yeah, The Rock knows, that might sound crass
Oh, and by the way...
All you jabronis in the locker room...
You can all come kiss The Rock's ass!
'Cause you know after The Rock lays the smackdown
on some big, fat, ugly hermaphrodite!
The Rock needs a little distraction...
and a slice sounds just right!
The Rock said "thanks ladies", and more kind words.
Grandmother said, "Be polite, eat mine first."
So I sat down, tried her's, she looked quite glad,
Had a strange tasting mold, but it wasn't so bad.
That's right, The Rock having pie in the country
Devoured her's, her aunt's, and still I was hungry
"That's all?" Rock said.
Bored and reading the paper,
'til finally, a plate of the next door neighbors
Dogged it down fast, 'cause it really did please
I mean it tasted so good, Rock was talkin' Chinese!
[Rock shouts incoherent "Chinese" words] That good pie!
Slick Rick: Oh, that's the pie you was talkin about!
Oh yeah, The Rock knows the millions can smell it now!
It's tough to be The Rock!
No, no, no, no, it really is.
Because you all know, The Rock is THE MOST...
Electrifying man in all of showbiz!
You see when The Rock gets too much... too much of the fame...
and all the bright lights,
he loves to kick back and have a slice...
No, no, no, no, no, The Rock is gonna eat the whole damn pie!
We need to live for today just stop looking only for pie in heavens sky.
Don’t you know once there you will be brought back to planet earth to this
land again we will re occupy.
Stop wishing your life away my friend enjoy the sun the wind and the sway
my friend.
Soon you’ll be gathered up and taken away yes we do need to live for today.
Lets make most of the daytime for the days in which we are living are full
of evil.
On the streets wicked men they walk around with two faces.
There are leaders that sign a peace treaty with a pencil.
Don’t be like that servant you known my friend went
off to follow the sound of the show my friend.
Leaving a field of man to stand in the overflow.
Summer here but so soon comes the snow.
everyone goes through a little pain
keep watching and follow me the guilt
that your going to give to me is never going
to leave something new and i don't relate
can't hang around for long a stone unturned
every missing word disillusioned i've become
this ain't the way it's supposed to be this
time i think i'll let it lay another day to
drown i'm tired and my patience thin keep
feeding off the bone some say that it's
impossible to stop and smell the rose going
out with a bang next time don't know what i'll
be next year a few hours south and the air is
green maybe something new is there it has to
work this time around or i'll trade it in for
sure everything for me myself and
