The term Grenade refers to any explosive device designed to be thrown by hand. Grenade Launchers are firearms designed to fire explosive projectile grenades. There are both grenade launchers that are integrated into other weapons (such as service rifles) and those that are built as individual weapon systems.
Most grenades explode, projecting fragments, i.e., pieces of the casing, serrated wire, or an incendiary material. Some, such as smoke grenades, merely burn, releasing smoke for masking, marking, or signalling. CS riot grenades function the same way. Grenades contain an explosive or chemical filler and have a small opening for a fuse. In modern hand grenades, the fuse is lit by an internal device rather than an external flame. Grenades are not reusable.
In a timed fuse grenade, the fuse is ignited upon release of the safety lever. Timed fuse grenades are generally preferred to hand-thrown percussion grenades because their fusing mechanisms are safer and more robust than those used in percussion grenades. Air burst grenades are fired from launchers and explode after a preset time corresponding with the distance to the target.
Peter Gene Hernandez (born October 8, 1985), better known by his stage name Bruno Mars, is an American singer-songwriter and record producer. Raised in Honolulu, Hawaii by a family of musicians, Mars began making music at a young age. He performed in various musical venues in his hometown throughout his childhood. He graduated from high school and then moved to Los Angeles, California to pursue a musical career. Mars produced songs for other artists, joining production team The Smeezingtons.
Mars had an unsuccessful stint with Motown Records, but then signed with Atlantic Records in 2009. He became recognized as a solo artist after lending his vocals and co-writing the hooks for the songs "Nothin' on You" by B.o.B, and "Billionaire" by Travie McCoy. He also co-wrote the hits "Right Round" by Flo Rida featuring Ke$ha, and "Wavin' Flag" by K'naan. In October 2010, he released his debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans. Anchored by the worldwide number-one singles "Just the Way You Are" and "Grenade", the album peaked at number three on the Billboard 200. Mars was nominated for seven Grammys at the 53rd Grammy Awards, winning Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Just the Way You Are".
[Bruno Mars:]
Easy come, Easy go
That's just how you live
Oh, take, take, take it all
But you never give
Should of known you was trouble
From the first kiss
Had your eyes wide open
Why were they open?
Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
'Cause what you don't understand, is
I'd catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on the blade for ya
I'd jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'd do anything for ya
Oh, oh I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes I would die for ya baby
But you won't do the same
[Dondria:]
Give and take
Tit for tat
You've got me I've got you
That is what we said in the beginning of this love
I've given you all I have
You've given me nothing back
That's okay cause karma is a bitch waiting for you
I gave you all I had
And you tossed in the trash
You tossed it in the trash yes you did
To give me all your love was all I ever asked
Cause what you don't understand is
I'd catch a grenade for ya (yeah yeah yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah yeah yeah)
Jump in front of a train for ya (yeah yeah yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah yeah yeah)
Oh I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
I would die for you baby
But you won't do the same
Oh the same
