You feeling lucky?

The doors of the pub were blown open and everyones head turned, to find the silhouette of a man with his hat tilted over eyes. The people exammined this man from head to toe as if he were a new student on the first day of school, on his head he wore a hat so weathered that it was sandier then the Sahara desert. his eyebrows were two bushy fox tails resting over the strangers eyes. the eyes were colder then the artic in the dead of winter, his blunt stare was as deadly as the western diamondback. The man's hair flowed from under his hat like the mighty mississippi river, the beard that covered his face was like moss growing on old deadfall. He wore a black turtle neck and a long black duster that contained numerous holes, this reminded me of moldy swiss cheese and in each of his two vice grip hands were two giant revolvers more intimadating then a pack of wolves who had spotted dinner. As he walked to the bar it looked like he was gliding on air, he takes his seat then in a voice as deep as the ocean says "you feeling lucky, punk"

Forever lyrics

[Chorus]
It may not mean nothing to y’all,

understand nothing was done for me,
so i don’t plan on stopping at all,
I want this sh-t forever man, ever man, ever man,
I’m shutting sh-t down in the mall,
and telling every girl she the one for me,
and i aint even planning to call,
i want this sh-t forever mine, ever mine, ever mine,

[Drake]
Last name ever,
first name greatest,
like a sprained ankle boy I ain’t nuttin to play with,
started off local, but thanks to all the haters,
i know G4 pilots on a first name basis,
and your city faded off the brown, Nino,
she insists she got more class, we know!
swimming in the money come and find me, Nemo,
if i was at the club you know I ball’d, chemo,
drop the mixtape that sh-t sounded like an album
who’d have thought a country wide tour would be the outcome
labels want my name beside the X like Malcolm
everybody got a deal, I did it without one,
yeah n-gga i’m about my business,
killing all these rappers you would swear I had a hit list,
everyone who doubted me is asking for forgiveness,
if you aint been a part of it at least you got to witness,
b-tches,

[Chorus]

[Kanye West]
Ever ever, Mr West is in the Building,
Aint no question who about to kill em,
I used to have hood dreams,
big fame, big chains,
i stuck my d-ck inside this life until that b-tch came,
I went hard all Fall like the ball teams,
just so I can make it rain all spring,
y’all seen my story my glory,
i had raped the game young,
you can call it statutory,
when a n-gga blow up they gon build statues of me
old money Benjamin Button, whaat, nuttin,
now superbad chicks giving me McLovin,
you would think I ran the world like Michelle’s husband,
you would think these n-ggas would know me when they really doesn’t
like they was down with the old me, no you f-cking wasn’t,
your’e such a f-cking loser,
he didn’t even go to class Bueller,
trade the Grammy plaques just to have my granny back,
remember she had that bad hip like a fanny pack,
chasing that stardom would turn you into a maniac,
all the way in Hollywood and I can’t even act,
they pull their cameras out and God damn he snapped,
I used to want this thing forever y’all can have it back,

[Chorus]

[Lil Wayne]

Ok, hello its da martian,
space jam Jordan’s,
I want this sh-t forever wake up and smell the Garden,
fresher than the harvest
step up to the target,
if i had one guess than I guess im just New Orleans,
and I will never stop like i’m running from the cops,
hopped up in my car and told my chauffeur “to the top”,
life is such a f-cking roller coaster then it drops,
but what should I scream for this is my theme park,
my minds shine even when my thoughts seem dark,
pistol on my side you don’t wanna hear that thing talk,
let the King talk, check the price and pay attention,
Lil Wayne thats what they got to say or mention,
lyrics courtesy of killerhiphop.com
Im like Nevada in the middle of the summer,
i’m resting in the lead I need a pillow and a cover,
ssshhh, my foots sleeping on the gas,
no brake pads no such thing as last- huh,

[Chorus]

[Eminem]
There they go, packin’ stadiums
as Shady spits his flow,
nuts they go, macadamian they go so ballistic whoa,
we can make them look like bozo’s,
he’s wondering if he should spit this slow,
f-ck no go for broke,
his cup just runneth over oh no
he aint had a buzz like this since the last time that he overdosed,
they’ve been waiting patiently for Pinnochio to poke his nose,
back into the game and they know,
rap will never be the same as before,
bashin’ in the brains of these hoes,
and establishing a name as he goes,
the passion and the flame is ignited,
you can’t put it out once we light it,
this sh-t is exactly what the f-ck that i’m talking about when we riot,
you dealin with a few true villians
who stand inside of the booth truth spillin,
lyrics courtesy of killerhiphop.com
and spit true feelings, until our tooth fillings come flying up out of our mouths
now rewind it
payback muthaf-cka for the way that you doubted me so how’s it taste?
when I slap the taste out your mouth with the bass so loud that it shakes the place,
i’m hannibal lecter so just in case your thinking of saving face,
you aint gonna have no face to save by the time Im through with this place,
so Drake….

[Chorus]
[End]

Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Eminem some see them as artists; But the truth is these people aren't just artists they are poets and Forever their poem. These rappers, poets, artists, musicians or whatever you want to call them turn problems, struggles and situations that life throws at them into music; This also turns out to be the theme of the song as the four write about their trip, "to the top". For example Drake starts the song talking about his rise to fame and how he had to just give the music producers his mixtape; Kanye talks about how people are trying to get a free ride from his hard work. The Musicians show off their poetic abilities since there is quite a bit of allusion in this song along with other devices, take Drake’s line for instance, “swimming in the money come and find me, Nemo,” or Kanye’s lines, “old money Benjamin Button, what, nothing. Now Superbad chicks giving me McLovin. You would think I ran the world like Michelle’s husband.” Lil Wayne’s verse is like one poetic device in itself,
“Ok, hello its da Martian, - (Figurative language)
Space Jam Jordan’s, (allusion)
If I had one guess than I guess I’m just New Orleans, (metaphor)
and I will never stop like I’m running from the cops, (simile)
life is such a f-cking roller coaster then it drops, (metaphor)
pistol on my side you don’t wanna hear that thing talk, (personification)
I’m like Nevada in the middle of the summer, (simile).” To finish it Eminem comes in with the Hannibal Lector reference.

Most interesting man in the world

Dear college admitters

The seventeen year old behind the computer, the one writing this essay, the one who wishes to attend this university; Wants to tell you about the amazing things he's done in his life. Although you’re probably not going to read this whole thing due to your incredulous personality just bare with me because it will be worth the time.

 I graduated high school, at the age of six. I taught illiterate children to speak Latin, in French. I've been the life of the party, without being at the party itself. Invented the computer, just to write you this application. I snuck up on a ninja, to tell him he was too loud. Turned a lion into a vegetarian, with my eyes. I went to space and back four times, using only a bike. Found the cure to cancer, then lost it in a fight with Chuck Norris. Hit mach 5, while walking. Then after all that was done I took to sports; I started playing hockey and was idolized by Sidney Crosby, Played football and hit harder then Brian Urlacher (he told me so). Came across tennis long enough to beat Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer in a doubles match, by myself. I then beat Tiger 18-0 in a skins match, with only a putter; won the Indy 500, using a scooter, beat up Anderson Silva, while blindfolded and when all that was done I decided to take up Business where at the age of 14 I fired Donald Trump. Owned many multimillion dollar brand names including Emporia Armani, Dolce and Gabbana, Ed Hardy and Walmart although im not to proud of the last one.

After Business it was time to play Survivor, which I dominated making a mansion with satellite TV and surround sound using only kiwis, rocks and coconuts. After winning I had decided it was time to settle down for a while so I had tea with the Queen at the mansion I had built playing survivor. But even though I have accomplished so much in so little of time I still not finished everything that I could their is still one more thing to do and that is finish my education and I trust that your fine institution can do that for me.

Empower the People

Many moons ago my ancestors were blessed with the spirits of sacred animals. These sacred animals gave my ancestors the ability to transform into the animals that blessed them. the blessed ancestors used their powers to help their tribes in times of need like times of war or times of a depression. Then the europeans came and introduced their wares which made it so that their was no need for my ancestors gifts. This is why for my super power I would like to have the power of shape shifting to bring the lost power back into the family.  Because this power would allow me to take on the strength of the Bear, the smarts of  the Owl, the pride of the Eagle or the cunningness of the Fox. It will also allow me to learn more about my culture which would allow me to teach the youth of the reserve about the slowly dying native culture which in turn will empower them to bring order to our reserve and allow them to realize the problems we have in some of our people. Maybe they would be able to develop our land and hopefully make us one of the big rich reserves like Squamish, Osoyoos or Westbank. So really if I had the power of shape shifting its not just helping me its helping my people.
