Second City or The Second City may refer to:
The Second City is an improvisational comedy enterprise, best known as the first ever on-going improvisational theater troupe in the United States (Chicago) and Canada (Toronto). It also has programs that run out of Los Angeles. It began in 1950s, as small groups of undergraduates, including young actors such as Mike Nichols and Elaine May, who met at Jimmy's Woodlawn Tap, a bar on the University of Chicago campus, which later became the Compass Players, a 1950s cabaret revue show.
The Second City Theatre opened on December 16, 1959, and has since expanded its presence to several other cities, including Toronto and Los Angeles. The Second City has produced television programs in both the United States and Canada including SCTV, Second City Presents, and Next Comedy Legend. Since its debut, the Second City has consistently been a starting point for comedians, award winning actors, directors, and others in show business.
The Second City chose its self-mocking name from the title of an article about Chicago by A. J. Liebling that appeared in The New Yorker in 1952. In 1959, the first Second City revue show premiered at 1842 North Wells Street, and the company moved a few blocks south, to 1616 North Wells, in 1967.Bernard Sahlins, Howard Alk and Paul Sills, son of teacher Viola Spolin, founded the theater as a place where scenes and story were created improvisationally, using techniques that grew out of the innovative techniques Spolin developed and taught, later known as Theater Games, with Sills as its director. The cabaret theater, comedy style of the Second City tended towards satire and commentary of current social norms and political figures and events.
The Lab may refer to:
The Second is the second studio album by Canadian-American rock band Steppenwolf, released in 1968 on ABC Dunhill Records. The album contains one of Steppenwolf's most famous songs, "Magic Carpet Ride". The background of the original ABC LP cover was a shiny "foil", in contrast to later (MCA Records) LP issues and the modern CD sleeve.
Featuring a style incorporating psychedelic music as well as aggressive hard rock, the release has received critical acclaim both when it came out as well as in later years. For example, Allmusic critic Bruce Eder stated that, though "highly derivative" of their first album, The Second had "very hard and edgy" tracks with the band "in excellent form".
All tracks composed by John Kay, except where indicated.

I'm too pac and two spots the block is secured
Stacked up to a fiend me, I'm the one you should call
But shawty on tour, juicy couture over law
And the drough when it's fire bet I can talk em to fall
Rhymes spreaded, I said it with a style
Commerce you dealer, I gave em coke and a smile
From poverty, no cold, it was foul
Now they admire me, I've been broke in a while
Wild, can't be talking to me
After my show, I have to be forced in the van
Came to new york, christopher walken to me
Figgy and pumble, christopher's walking to me
Slick talking tatty, bare arms, from iran, hope you ready
Grave yam yankee fitty cap, fred the god and I came to brign the city back
[Hook]
You know I bees in the city
You drive v's to the city
We push keys to the city
Mayor minds hope give me the key to the city
Now rep your city, this is for the streets
Now rep your city, this is for the streets
Now rep your city, this is for the streets
Now turn up
New york life is lawless
I got the city turnt up like the stocks dumped on mike and harris
Works the purest, same color is
Girl here from school, she studyin the art of chow
Forget the vest I wear liff up
Tbm the best, they will clip em
Heard you got sour around, well we'll stick em
For that 7 pounds with the wesson I will smith em
7 pounds will smith, big bronx uptown and we still spit
We back flowin and y'all know I got lines around the block
Like the tunnel back open
Speaking of tunnel, you know the sun is span
Call me harry and turman cause I got tunnel vision
Blue yankee fitty cap, fred the god and I came to bring the city back
[Hook]
You know I bees in the city
You drive v's to the city
We push keys to the city
Mayor minds hope give me the key to the city
Now rep your city, this is for the streets
Now rep your city, this is for the streets
Now rep your city, this is for the streets
