A (named /ˈeɪ/, plural As, A's, as, a's or aes) is the first letter and the first vowel in the ISO basic Latin alphabet. It is similar to the Ancient Greek letter alpha, from which it derives. The upper-case version consists of the two slanting sides of a triangle, crossed in the middle by a horizontal bar. The lower-case version can be written in two forms: the double-storey a and single-storey ɑ. The latter is commonly used in handwriting and fonts based on it, especially fonts intended to be read by children. It is also found in italic type.
The earliest certain ancestor of "A" is aleph (also written 'aleph), the first letter of the Phoenician alphabet (which consisted entirely of consonants; for that reason, it is also called an abjad to distinguish it from a true alphabet). In turn, the ancestor of aleph may have been a pictogram of an ox head in proto-Sinaitic script influenced by Egyptian hieroglyphs, styled as a triangular head with two horns extended.
In 1600 B.C.E., the Phoenician alphabet letter had a linear form that served as the base for some later forms. Its name must have corresponded closely to the Hebrew or Arabic aleph.

Genres: Action, Adventure, Drama, Western,Who is the man, who is the man, who is the man?
Why does it take control of you? Because it can
Who cleans the floors, who mends the doors ?
Who wanted more, who wanted more? You wanted more
Stuck half up a mountain
With no rope, use shouting
Got no hope, it's not funny
They're making T-shirt money
Who is that girl, who is that girl? Beautiful girl
She doesn't need no makeover, natural curls
She looks so rich, with perfect legs, but she's a bitch
Dad's got the cash, her looks won't last, thick as a brick
Stuck half up a mountain
With no rope, use shouting
Got no hope, it's not funny
I want the same things
But I don't know what to say
I can't change it anyway
And I wish I had your face
And I wish I had your brains
But I don't
Stuck half up a mountain
With no rope, use shouting
Got no hope, no money
I want the same things
But I don't know what to say
I can't change it anyway
And I wish I had your face
And I wish I had your brains
Stuck half up a mountain
With no rope, use shouting
Got no hope, no money
I want the same things
But I don't know what to say
I can't change it anyway
And I wish I had your face
And I wish I had your brains
