Ted Wong (November 5, 1937 – November 24, 2010) was a martial arts practitioner best known for studying under Bruce Lee.
Wong was born in Hong Kong in 1937. His father, a native Californian of Chinese descent, was stationed there while serving in the US Navy. His family moved back to San Francisco, California in 1953 and a few years later to San Diego. After completing high school and college, Wong served in the US Army as a Lieutenant for 2 years in West Germany. After serving, he returned to San Diego in 1962.
Wong's first encounter with Bruce Lee was in 1967, in Los Angeles, California, where Lee was giving a Kung Fu seminar. Wong had no martial arts training, and was interested in western boxing and some martial arts. He was so impressed by Lee, however, that he decided to study at Lee's kwoon, the Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute in Los Angeles. Shortly after beginning his studies, Lee accepted Wong as a private student. Wong became Lee's sparring partner and close friend.
Wong was present as Lee developed Jun Fan Gung Fu into Jeet Kune Do. He was present to see Lee train other martial artists, including Karate Champion Joe Lewis and basketball star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Wong was one of only a few people to receive rank in the art of Jeet Kune Do by Bruce Lee. Wong never learned another martial art besides what Lee had taught him, thus he never taught anything other than what he learned .
Bruce Lee (born Lee Jun-fan; 27 November 1940 – 20 July 1973) was a Chinese AmericanHong Kong actor,martial arts instructor, philosopher, film director, film producer, screenwriter, and founder of the Jeet Kune Do martial arts movement. He is widely considered by many commentators, critics, media and other martial artists to be the most influential martial artist and pop culture icon of the 20th Century. He is often credited with changing the way Asians were presented in American films.
Lee was born in San Francisco to parents of Hong Kong heritage but was raised in Hong Kong until his late teens. Lee returned to the United States at the age of 18 to claim his U.S. citizenship and receive his higher education. It was during this time that he began teaching martial arts, which soon led to film and television roles.
His Hong Kong and Hollywood-produced films elevated the traditional Hong Kong martial arts film to a new level of popularity and acclaim, and sparked a major surge of interest in Chinese martial arts in the West in the 1970s. The direction and tone of his films changed and influenced martial arts and martial arts films in Hong Kong and the rest of the world, as well. He is noted for his roles in five feature-length films: Lo Wei's The Big Boss (1971) and Fist of Fury (1972); Way of the Dragon (1972), directed and written by Lee; Warner Brothers' Enter the Dragon (1973) and The Game of Death (1978), both directed by Robert Clouse.

Four wheelers, pop the hatchet, blast that hitter
Honey times, money hurry, snap that picture
I wanna see the walls come down, if ya'll bout it
For New York, I cover the sport, like Marv Albert
One, two, when I exhale, the one-two
Lock it down, similar to Denzel in John Q
Fire the semi, with no ice, no Bentley
I'm just low fitty, throwin' limes in the Remy
There's so many fraud, how could you call that real?
I supply fire that'll forge the steel
Can't ignore the real, yeah ya forced the deal - With who?
With that nigga, that kid, you're sure to feel
Big money, big guns, big cars and all
Rock tally on the floor, at the Monster's Ball
From the 718 to the 310
Underdawgz, U.D,'s, the unsung heroes
They see me in the streets they be like - That's that nigga
Rebel I.N.S., ya'll know - That's that nigga
Girls of the world be sayin' - That's that nigga
All across the board they goin' - That's that nigga
Girls of the world say - That's that nigga
All across the board they goin' - That's that nigga
They see him in the streets they be like - That's that nigga
Rebel I.N.S., ya'll know - That's that nigga
The Movement, follow my lead, clock my speed
Number one with a bullet, that's cocked to squeeze
He's artist of the year, who can touch me son?
Like Jimmy Casta, trust me, I've just begun
And I won't stop, hoggin' the lane, droppin' my game
My dogs be, rockin' them chains, poppin' the same
In the distance, hawkin' my style, talkin' loud
Non-believers wonder how I'm talk of the town
Hate Me Now, like Puffy and Nas, I uprise
Never thought big guns would survive, but surprise
Now what nigga? Only drugs sell quicker
Been chained in the dungeons of rap and held prisoner
You'll find me, cruisin' the Ave., tool in the stash
My tomb blast you in the smash, movin' the mass
I'm comin' like the taxman for all their business
I'm bound by my honor, so ya'll bear witness
They see me in the streets they be like - That's that nigga
Rebel I.N.S., ya'll know - That's that nigga
Girls of the world be sayin' - That's that nigga
All across the board they goin' - That's that nigga
Girls of the world say - That's that nigga
All across the board they goin' - That's that nigga
They see him in the streets they be like - That's that nigga
Rebel I.N.S., ya'll know - That's that nigga
A Titan like Steve McNair, be prepared
For the Top Gun, smokin' like weed in the air
Please beware, the Underdawgz roam in the yard
Postin' hard, approachin' get you closer to God
This is real life money, not a scene from a movie
U.D.'s tighter than the jeans on a hoochie
The groupies crowd the six-point-oh
If it's like that now, wait til this joint blow
Tell the world, the prophet has come, problem for some
The masses, holla for son, hot as the sun
That keep your eyes open don't you get caught sleepin'
Your boy get you bouncin' like a six four leanin'
They see me in the streets they be like - That's that nigga
Rebel I.N.S., ya'll know - That's that nigga
Girls of the world be sayin' - That's that nigga
All across the board they goin' - That's that nigga
Girls of the world say - That's that nigga
All across the board they goin' - That's that nigga
They see him in the streets they be like - That's that nigga
She was only seventeen when she walked into my life
she had head filled with dreams and she wanted to strive
she wasn't afraid to say or do the things to get what she wanted
and she could use and seduce a man with just one hand, it was all or nothing
That was her plan.
she wanted to be free and to have it all
she didn't want to fall, fall in love with me
then she had to see, she had to let it go
cause it takes only two to tango.
She was only seventeen when I gave her my heart
she would look into my eyes, and tell me lies
she knew what she wanted from the start
Yo la queria (bis)
Oh, how I need her (bis)
but love sometimes ain't what it seems to be
Tantas mentiras (bis)
She's a deceiver (bis)
but she didn't know
that the best things in life are for free.
she wanted to be free and to have it all
she didn't want to fall, fall in love with me
then she had to see, she had to let it go
cause it takes only two to tango.
And in a lonely cabaret she danced her life away
and as she moved her feet erased the memories
and with each tear I cry I stop to wonder why
she never danced with me.
she wanted to be free and to have it all
she didn't want to fall, fall in love with me
then she had to see, she had to let it go
God moves on the water
April the 14th day
God moves on the water
Everybody had to run and pray
The Titanic left Southampton
With all their sport and game
But when they struck that iceberg
I know their mind was changed
Let me tell you
God moves on the water
April the 14th day
God moves on the water
Everybody had to run and pray
The mothers told their daughters
On a pleasure trip they may go
But when they struck that iceberg
They haven't been seen no more
Let me tell you
God moves on the water
April the 14th day
God moves on the water
Everybody had to run and pray
The story of that shipwreck
Is almost too sad to tell
One thousand and six hundred
Well, they went down forever to twelve
Did you know that
God moves on the water
April the 14th day
God moves on the water
Everybody had to run and pray
Well, the 14th of day of April
It was nineteen hundred and twelve
The ship had wrecked by an iceberg
Ah, it went down forever to twelve
I know God moves on the water
April the 14th day
God moves on the water
She Whispers in my ear
Can I get you a cold beer
While all that wildlife is covered with oil
Strumming my six string
Trying not to sing
About those shrimp, beginning to spoil
Here we go again destroying our mother earth
Hunting down her last buffalo
Some people claim that it’s Big Oil to blame
But I know, it takes two to tango
Well, I know the reason
I go there in season
It’s not to watch an oil well blow
But the gulf is a beauty
So let’s do our duty
How it got there, I’ll never know
Here we go again destroying our mother earth
Hunting down her last buffalo
Some people claim it’s politicians to blame
But I know, it takes two to tango
I slipped on a tar ball
On the beach after nightfall
So I got on a plane and flew on back home
But there’s fuel in my big truck
Cause just like you, I suck
We love our petroleum, it helps us move on
Here we go again destroying our mother earth
Hunting down her last buffalo
Some people claim that there’s somebody to blame
Can you hear the voice of your inner soul?
Can you hear the lies when the cradle falls?
Do you want to hear the cries of lonely men?
Do you want to hear the sound of modern death?
Can you feel the pain of widow lonely mothers?
Wanna feel the pain to be a dead son father?
Lies are falling down
As the king caresses his crown.
We see the dark of night inside his wicked eyes
As cold as ice the thoughts inside his mind
The babies cry they die without a sin
For every tear they cry, he burns another dream
Lies are falling down
As the king caresses his crown.
We live our lives under the war damnation
The clouds of hate upon our every nation
A constant motion to an endless night
Our life, our death, our only sacrifice
The smell of death to cover all mankind
The world is burning, dust that blinds our eyes
And in a future made of soldiers’ tears
We’ll feast 2012…Happy new year!!!
Rising, rising, rising, the end of man is rising!
The bodies of men lying upon the ground
They close their eyes, they die without a sound
The world is watching, people ask for more
They praise TV, reality shows…
Tell us what war is…
Tell us what we fight for…
Tell us why we die…
Share your nights
And your dreams
Share your feelings
Deep as they may seem
Your words may disappear
If no one's there to hear
Two to tango
Two to move
And all we've got to do
Is see it through
As the day fades away
Two to tango
When the evening comes
And the rain goes
With the midnight sun
If you find your place
Leave behind the troubles that
You face
Two to tango
Two to move
And all we've got to do
Is see it through
As the day fades away
In a twist of fate
Time will rearrange
All your answers
Then the questions change
There beyond you or I can see
All that is and all that has to be
Two to tango
Two to move
And all we've got to do
Is see it through
As the moon rose in glory,
Drifting to the golden west,
She told her sad, sad story:
Sixteen hundred have gone to rest.
The watchman was lying down dreaming,
Yes, dreaming a sad, sad dream;
He dreamed the Titanic was sinking
Far out on the deep hlue sea.
He woke and called the rich man,
Told him to come to life;
Told him to save his baby
And also his darling wife.
The rich man, he must have been drinking.
Knowing that he had done wrong.
He tried to win the record
And let the Titanic go down.
When he spied the Titanic was sinking
They fell down upon their knees
And cried, "Oh, Lord, have mercy!
And what will become of me?"
The band was out there playing,
Yes, playing out on the sea.
When they spied the Titanic was sinking
Played "Nearer, My God, to Thee."
When the sad news reached the landing
That the Titanic had gone down.
Many a poor widow and orphan
Was walking all over the town.
The little children were crying
"Oh, Mama has gone to stay."
But surely they will invent something
Endless night I cannot sleep
Wash away my fears
Another day is here and gone at last
Seems my world turned around and when I try, fall down
make tomorrow bring me back again
I just got to turn the page and start a brand new day
To find myself again
If I don't it's suicide, a victim of my pride
That hurts me deep inside
I don't want to live this life again
If I do it will not end
I don't want to live this life...again
Seems as though they all decide
The winners are disguised
I wish there was a better way to see
Follow the path and never be
A product of the greed that grows inside
Of all the world's needs
I just got to turn the page and start a brand new day
To find myself again
If I don't it's suicide, a victim of my pride
That hurts me deep inside
I don't want to live this life again
If I do it will not end
I don't want to live this life..oh no no no
I don't want to live this life again
if I do it will depend
I don't want to live this life...again
I don't want to live this life again
If I do it will not end
I don't want to live this life..no no no no
I don't want to live this life
I don't want to live this life again
I don't want to live this life...no no no no no
I don't want to live this life again
if I do it will depend
I don't want to live this life, oh no no
I don't want to live this life
I don't want to live this life again
I don't want to live this life...
