“Never give up.” That's what John Cena says. This is not just words he uses, but words he chooses to live his life by. People can say something as much as they want, but living by them is a completely different thing. John Cena is an inspiration for many reasons. A few reasons that make him so admirable are that he fought and struggled to make it to where he is now even if people didn't always believe in him, he works with Make-A-Wish Foundation and has granted the most wishes as well as partnered with Susan G. Komen, and he's had to fight back from so many injuries to keep doing what he loves to do. Life doesn’t come without its difficulties and this is something John Cena knows very well. John Cena has always been a fighter, right from the
American Beauty/American Psycho was an album that was sung by the band Fall Out Boy in 2015. Fall Out Boy is an alternative/indie rock band with a little hint of pop in some of their songs. This album, which is the band’s most recent album, is full of a lot of good songs and songs that maybe some people wouldn’t like. Fall Out Boy is a face-paced band, which means their songs are faced-paced. A lot of their songs could be a little hard to understand for people who don’t listen to this kind of music. The album does not have many of these types of songs, which is why it is a favorite among Fall Out Boy fans.
In Lupe Fiasco 's song "Words I Never Said," he collaborates with Skylar Grey to bring awareness to hard topics that no one wants to converse about, by expressing his own emotions, supplying factual evidence, and challenging the credibility to back up his statements. Throughout the song, Fiasco gives his opinion on subjects he finds important, like conspiracy theories, terrorism, and drugs. After rapping about all these issues and more, Fiasco explains, why it is important to stand up and talk about the unfair and unjust problems in the world, instead of being afraid of what people think. Fiasco 's purpose of the song is successful because he exemplifies the feelings that the audience can relate to and uses metaphors, alliteration, and facts to explain his reasoning. He succeeds in persuading his audience, by bringing up his own judgments on real life events, supporting those judgments with

“You Was Right” by Lil Uzi Vert is fairly easy to understand lyrically. The essence of the song deals with unfaithfulness in a relationship as well as the aftermath. Lil Uzi Vert spends a large portion of the song admitting his mistakes to his presumed girlfriend in hopes of making things right between them. The song starts off with the hook, which rests upon the premise of how Lil Uzi Vert should have stayed loyal rather than taking another girl home with him. For example, he says, “You was right, I was wrong” (6) in an attempt to console his girlfriend and apologize. Following the hook, the first verse centers on Lil Uzi Vert’s riches due to his success as a rapper. He ties that in to his relationship by expressing how he wants to share his wealth with his girlfriend. At this stage in the song, Lil Uzi Vert is attempting to win his girlfriend back with his money and general success as a rapper. The hook then repeats itself to indicate that the argument between Lil Uzi Vert and his girlfriend is still continuing. The second verse signifies an escalation in their conflict, as he says, “You just locked the door, so I gotta text you” (42). His girlfriend is refusing to even listen
"In The Air Tonight" is a strophic composition produced by Phil Collins. The aria consists of an electronic drum set an electric guitar and a prophet to add an additional fullness to the song. The exposition of the monody is at an adagio tempo. The electronic drum kit repeats a drum pattern with 12 drum hits in each loop, while accenting on every third beat {eg.1-2-1-2-1-2-1-22-1-2 | 11-2-1-2-1-2-1-22-1-2}. In the middle of the first loop the electric guitar roars a triple stopping that drags on for fifteen seconds, and is quickly followed by the sound of a nymph sounding guitar riff in the background accompanied by the prophet. The prophet presents the main melody of the song. A series of warm instruments accompany the drum pattern followed by the sound of Phil Collins's tenor voice reverbed a tad to add an eerieness to the song. He first announces in a slightly whispered, muffled voice:
If what does not kill us makes us stronger, then Hope Solo is made of steel. In Hope Solo’s novel Hope Solo: A Memoir of Hope, she is not afraid to speak the truth no matter what people may think of her. Hope learned during her younger years to be open to different ideas and not get discouraged by life’s challenges. She has faced countless obstacles in both her personal life and professional career. Although her persona is very intimidating, Hope is a daddy’s girl, honest, and straight-forward. Throughout her career, many people have mistaken her candid remarks as hateful comments, and she has been labeled as being difficult and bombastic. Even though her critics argue that she is outspoken and lacks maturity as a sportsman, Hope Solo shows in her biography Hope Solo: A Memoir of Hope that she is an inspirational female athlete because she has risen above extreme adversity and continuously challenges herself to be the best.
“Fire away. Take your best shot, show me what you got. Honey I’m not afraid (Chris, Lines 4-5)…” Strength, love, heartache, all words that many people can identify with, but what about mental illness, depression, and suicide. These words are those that humans avoid, pretend they are not there, but in reality those three words effect many more people that was ever thought possible. Over 18.2% of United States citizens suffer from a mental illness (Depression), 6.7% of United States citizens suffer from depression (Depression), and each year in the United States there are on average 42,773 deaths by suicide (American). Now, many people can relate to the words love and heartbreak, but many more can identify with the three words that the world
The song “Change” by J. Cole, is about his close friend, James McMillian’s who was murdered at 22 years old and learning about it when it was reported on the local news station. Throughout the song he raps about his emotional experience dealing with his friends death. In the beginning of the song he states “My intuition is telling me there’ll be better days” is him saying that he is hopeful that his grief subsides and it will eventually get easier as the days go on. Towards the end of the song he raps “I made it home, I woke up and turned on the morning news overcame with a feeling I can’t explain cause that was my brother James that was slain, he was 22.” This verse was him explaining how he heard the news that his friend was murdered.
“I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed; Get along with the voices inside of my head; You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath; And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy; Well, that's nothing.” The Monster by Eminem. One song can have many interpretations. Person one might think of it as an excuse for some psychopath. Person two could think of it as a plea for help, from a psychopath. What do you think? When you think of the term “evil mastermind” you think of some idiot who makes traps so complicated that the hero escapes and he gets trapped.What is a true evil mastermind and what traits do they posses? Well before I answer that question I want ask a question. Would you rather be hunted on an island filled with

When I was 12 years old I started wrestling, I had been told of others in my family throughout years that wrestled and that is why I chose to wrestle. So far it has taught me courage and grace. At some point, everyone will lose at least once because there is always someone practicing and training as hard as you somewhere else. This is important because it makes me want to work harder to become the best. Wrestling is a place for a kid like me to prove himself to those who doubt. It is a place for a kid like me to show everyone what I am made of and that is how my cultural identity is shown.
What inspired me the most from Mawi’s experience was if you work hard and don’t give up good thing’s will come and happen to you. You will always lose 81-10 if you don't push your turbo button. You won't get anywhere if you don't push that button you will always lose and never win. To just give up isn't the way to go you will have hard times in your life you just have to fight through it and push yourself.
Rhodes: Well, I think it's pretty simple, if you're fortunate enough to make it into the fold and call yourself a pro wrestler, the mainstream, typically somebody that covers sports and entertainment on the high levels, Hollywood, big screen, little screen, wrestling's always always been looked down upon a little bit and not by everybody, I don't want to grind an axe, but almost every time there's a wrestler in a television show or wrestler in a movie it's always like, "Oh, [scoffs]," and then usually by the end of it, it's like, "Wow, they knew what they were doing." So I think that's why when you speak to some of these young talent or old talents they are very approachable, because they want they want to build that bridge to the mainstream. They want to be part of it, they're on TV just like these other shows, they want to be treated as such. You treat others how you'd like to be treated yourself, I
The song that I choose to do this assignment on is Fight the Power by Public Enemy. Fight the Power was written in 1989 and quickly became a street anthem for millions of youths. It reflects with issues dealing with both the Civil Rights Movement and to remind everyone that they too have Constitutional Rights. This particular song is about empowerment but also fighting the abuse of power that is given to the law enforcement agencies. It gave citizens of the U.S a more modern outlook on the many struggles that not only the African American community is up against but the other minority groups as well. The song’s message was eventually supposed to bring people together and make the world a better place, even though some teens saw it as a way
"You appreciate what you work for," he used to say. He taught that lesson well. He never let me win any game; he taught me to win by learning to lose.
