Commandant ( /ˌkɒmənˈdɑːnt/ or /ˌkɒmənˈdænt/) is a senior title often given to the officer in charge of a large training establishment or academy. This usage is common in anglophone nations. In some non-English speaking countries it may be a military or police title or rank.
In the British Indian Army, the commanding officer of a regiment or battalion was called the commandant instead of the CO.
In the French Army and French Air Force, the term commandant is used as a rank equivalent to major (NATO rank code OF-3). However, in the French Navy commandant is the style, but not the rank, of the senior officers, specifically capitaine de corvette, capitaine de frégate and capitaine de vaisseau.
In South Africa, commandant was the title of the commanding officer of a commando (militia) unit in the 19th and early 20th centuries. From 1950 to 1994 Commandant (rank) was the rank equivilent of lieutenant colonel and commander of a battalion.
In Sri Lanka, the Commandant of the Volunteer Force is the head of the Sri Lanka Army Volunteer Force. Commandant is also the title used for the commanding officer (one-star rank) of military academies - Sri Lanka Military Academy, Naval and Maritime Academy and Air Force Academy - and the commanding officer (two-star rank) of the Defence Services Command and Staff College. It is also the title of the de-facto vice-chancellor of the General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University, usually an officer of two-star rank.

Genres: Action, Comedy, Drama, Romance,This is an ambush
Yo, check it
Lookin' at my watch it's about that time to ascend with this art of Zen
Another rhyme manifested in the physical miracle emcee-in'
Leading to a revolution
Solution is seeing the mind as it rotates
Make no debate, when I regulate, all the gens will terminate
'Cause we cut and slice irrelevance to the bone
And decapitate rappers that idolize Al Capone or Jimmy Hoffa
Not a hip-hop poppa, just a vigilante with the mic that I shot ya
Chopped up, beat 'em and we proceeded to rock tha bells
Movin' quite well, so we got 'em hopped up
Trained, raw, like Big Daddy Kane
Plus I'm born on the same day as Kurt Cobain
Rap nirvana, call me the beat piranha
Without the drama, yeah
Don't get this wrong
This revolution song
Hoping the wind can blow your way for once
A man is truly dead when confident
That's why we're all still waiting here so long
Astrologically, I'm the water and the fish
Made a wish, now i'm stone-cold lyrical catalyst
I don't eat fish, chicken or hamburger
But I eat 40 emcees on a hot plate
God's great
Magnificent and munificent
This is militant, in particular significant
To the people, masses,lower classes
Making the hardest of hard keloidal and flaccid
Contaminants with backstage laminate sheet unoriginal thoughts
That's why we stay adamant
Which we perceive to alter the mind-state
Making time wait, holding us up for hostage
I lost it somewhere back in '96
When it's safe I'll play the game, I'm back in the mix
With a brand-new bag of magic and pixie dust
Love hip-hop, pray it never turns into lust (take it out)
Don't get this wrong
This revolution song
Hoping the wind can blow your way for once
A man is truly dead when confident
That's why we're all still waiting here so long
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Aiiiiiieeeee!
Don't get this wrong
This revolution song
Hoping the wind can blow your way for once
A man is truly dead when confident
That's why we're all still waiting here so long
Commandante, come back home
Commandante, come back home
Commandante, come back home
