Giga ( /ˈɡɪɡə/ or /ˈdʒɪɡə/) is a unit prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of billion (109 or 1000000000). It has the symbol G.
Giga is derived from the Greek γίγας, meaning 'giant'. The Oxford English Dictionary reports the earliest written use of giga in this sense to be in the Reports of the IUPAC 14th Conference in 1947: "The following prefixes to abbreviations for the names of units should be used: G giga 109×".
When referring to information units in computing, such as gigabit or gigabyte, giga may sometimes mean 1073741824 (230), although such use is contrary to standards and has been discouraged by the standards organizations. The binary prefix gibi has been adopted for 230, while reserving giga exclusively for the metric definition.
In English, the initial g of giga can be pronounced /ɡ/ (a hard g as in giggle), or /dʒ/ (a soft g as in giant, which shares its Greek root).
This latter pronunciation was formalized within the United States in the 1960s and 1980s with the issue by the US National Bureau of Standards of pronunciation guides for the metric prefixes. A prominent example is found in the pronunciation of gigawatts in the 1985 movie Back to the Future.

Genres: Drama, Romance, War,I speak it loud throughout the night
I pick it out until the time
Breathe enough to compromise
Your dreams which are fabulous & wise
I may believe a space in man
Your breakdown lets me go mad
I breathe enough to compromise your fate
You're foolish but tough
I breathe enough to compromise my fate
Give me your mind
Clayish brave makes me so numb
Playing games, I feel your love
I try to give me your sound
