Henry Cabot "Slim" Lodge (May 12, 1850 – November 9, 1924) was an American Republican Senator and historian from Massachusetts. He had the role (but not the title) of Senate Majority leader. He is best known for his positions on foreign policy, especially his battle with President Woodrow Wilson in 1919 over the Treaty of Versailles. Lodge demanded Congressional control of declarations of war; Wilson refused and the United States Senate never ratified the Treaty nor joined the League of Nations.
Lodge was born in Boston, Massachusetts. His father was John Ellerton Lodge. His mother was Anna Cabot, through whom he was a great-grandson of George Cabot. Lodge grew up on Boston's Beacon Hill and spent part of his childhood in Nahant, Massachusetts where he witnessed the 1860 kidnapping of a classmate and gave testimony leading to the arrest and conviction of the kidnappers. He was cousin to the American polymath Charles Peirce.
In 1872, he graduated from Harvard College, where he was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon, the Porcellian Club, and the Hasty Pudding Club. In 1874, he graduated from Harvard Law School, and was admitted to the bar in 1875, practicing at the Boston firm now known as Ropes & Gray. After traveling through Europe, Lodge returned to Harvard, and in 1876, became the first student of Harvard University to graduate with a Ph.D. in Political Science. His teacher and mentor during his graduate studies was Henry Adams; Lodge would maintain a lifelong friendship with Adams. Lodge wrote his dissertation on the ancient Germanic origins of Anglo-Saxon government; he later became a vocal proponent of the superiority of the Anglo-Saxon "race".
Kofi Atta Annan ( /ˈkoʊfi ˈænən/; born 8 April 1938) is a Ghanaian diplomat who served as the seventh Secretary-General of the United Nations, from 1 January 1997 to 31 December 2006. Annan and the United Nations were the co-recipients of the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize for his founding of the Global AIDS and Health Fund to support developing countries in their struggle to care for their people.
Since February 2012, Annan has been the UN-Arab League envoy to Syria, to help find a resolution to ongoing conflict there.
Kofi Annan was born in Kumasi, Ghana. His twin sister Efua Atta, who died in 1991, shares the middle name Atta, which in Fante and Akan means 'twin'. Annan and his sister were born into one of the country's aristocratic families; both their grandfathers and their uncle were tribal chiefs.
In the Akan names tradition, some children are named according to the day of the week on which they were born, and/or in relation to how many children precede them. Kofi in Akan is the name that corresponds with Friday.
Tsiang Tingfu (Chinese: 蔣廷黻; pinyin: Jiǎng Tíngfú; Cantonese Yale: Jyang Tingfu; 17 February 1895 - 9 October 1965) was a Chinese historian and diplomat. Tsiang was born in Shaoyang in Hunan province. In 1911, he was sent to study in the United States, where he attended the Park Academy, Oberlin College and Columbia University. After obtaining a Ph.D. in history at Columbia, he returned to China in 1923, where he first took up a position at Nankai University and then at Tsinghua University. At Tsinghua, he became the head of the History Department, where edited and published a number of works on Chinese history and published the English-language journal Chinese Social and Political Science Review. During his tenure at Tsinghua, he mentored a number of historians in the study of Qing history, including John K. Fairbank.
Following mounting tensions in China's relations with Japan, Tsiang left academia in 1935 and joined the Chinese Nationalist government, which he served in many different capacities throughout the Sino-Japanese War. In 1945, Tsiang became the Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations, and he subsequently also served as the ambassador of China to the United States. Following the establishment of the People's Republic of China on the Chinese mainland, Tsiang defended the exclusive right of the Taiwan-based Republic of China to represent China in the United Nations and in the Security Council. He died in New York City in 1965.
[Verse 1]
It's 1995, a lot of brothers done died
Alot of sisters, and mamas, and fathers
and aunties, and grandmamas left to cry
Now he nothing but a memory, he used to be a friend to me
said he never die but now he's 6 feet deep, with a tombstone
oh my god my brothers gone
and I don't even fucking think I can go on
Cause it hurts to lose someone you love
to this madness of children's murdered, shoot em up in the name of drugs
Doctor pumped chest, daddy said let him rest
A team rolled up and put him to his final death
hands got cold, god rest his soul
He walked out his body to another fucking episode
the window open, they put him in the final front
and you know what happens in the end
(Chorus)
I wish I could seen him before he died
talk to him but when they gone that's when we realize
I wish I could seen him before he died
talk to him but when they gone thats when we realize
Front, back, side to side
but who would be the next nigga to roll in that black ride
Front, back, side to side
it might be you to be the next victim to take a ride in the black ride
Verse 2
Just another homicide, for that west county times
fools gettin took out the game, with a fucking proper don hittin' deep
I toss in my sleep, but will a young nigga live to see 23?
Killing dont phase me, fools think I'm crazy
Muslims on every corner handed out the daisy's
Name fresh on the wall, aint no final call
used to slang bean pies now it's bout white ball
Only 15, already got a beef
and work in the ghetto like Jack Tucker work some beans
livin off a high, rollin on this ride
bitches on the side, but only give them 2 weeks time
Aint that a shame, took him out the game
same fool he used to roll with yelled out his name
Popped him in the chest, couldn't where his vest
the day his kid took his first step, his took his last breath.
(Chorus)
I wish I could seen him before he died
talk to him but when they gone thats when we realize
I wish I could seen him before he died
talk to him but when they gone thats when we realize
Front, back, side to side
but who gonna be the next nigga to roll in that black ride.
Front, back, side to side
it might be you to be the next victim to take a ride in the black ride.
(Verse 3)
Bring the white sheets somebody bring the yellow tape
the ghetto took him under, today will be a sad day
Aint no time to cry, no time to shed no tears
you know the way he died the same way he lived.
The fool was a killer found him dead on his knees
same room he left his wife and kid left to grieve
Hoping is a nightmare, one pop and he's outta there
god rest his soul, left his kid in a wheelchair
scared for his life, his daddy took ghetto flight
left the funeral and mama said boy you know it's gonna be alright
but now he's gone, aint nobody to run his home
another kingpin stripped from that ghetto throne
folks that's the game of life, aint no time to think twice
the same fool he trusted with now sleeps with his wife
Khakis on, snapped him in that whiplock
another nigga flip locked, got popped for slangin that crack rock.
but now he's gone, Amazing Grace was his last song
six ballers carried out the church to take his ass home.
4 members, 3 cousin, 2 El dogs, a cop, and a hearse
everybody had they lights on, when that starp box lowered down into his grave
see it was sad they was his fucking family misbehaved
his family cried, "but everybody got's to die."
but you won't feel what they feel into someone in your family dies.
(Chorus)
I wish I could seen him before he died
talk to him but when they gone thats when we realize
I wish I could seen him before he died
talk to him but when they gone thats when we realize
Front, back, side to side
but who gonna be the next nigga to roll in that black ride.
Front, back, side to side
it might be you to be the next victim to take a ride in the black ride.

For my actions ‘cuz it's been so long,
Since I've been in love.
