Ss..ss..uh..uh..smoke that
Uh..ss..ss..hit it
Ss..look bitch..bitch hit it uh

How many niggas want to ride tonight, die tonight, survive tonight
How many niggas want to ride tonight, die tonight, survive tonight
How many niggas want to ride tonight, die tonight, survive tonight
How many niggas want to ride tonight, die tonight, survive tonight


With Mr. Gun-Clapper blast, who got murder for that killer slash
Thug rapper, as these niggas begin to come after
Me in the middle of the night
Is it Mr. Mike or did I change my name to Victor
In the middle of the fight
Quiet, shh, on the set, light up ya blunts and cigarettes
The richer G's get, the bitcher these niggas
My picture gets painted like Leonardo de Vinci, fully of envy
Texas was the spot niggas got shot and fucked ya memories
Send me the flyest MC that's tryin' to see
And Suave come pound, they got hung, broke down to the highest degree
Well I be, the bitch want to fuck Mike for free
Either slide me a G or get the fuck up out my ride see
My oozy weighs a ton, when you niggas see me run
Got game to fuck a nun, blame my gun
I leave you shakin' son of a bitch, I'm rich
I'm quick to hit chu' up (Nigga)
It's them strange motherfuckers that don't give a fuck


I was born and brought up where these streets be the key
Erasin' suspicious and heartless niggas on the streets
Some live in poverty, even though a nigga be slangin' dope
And dodgin' the Feds cause them bastards want me broke
Back flashes of prison, for ninety days I'm doin' bad
No money for books so every day I'm livin' mad
Born to be tough through all these miseries and pain
Standin' strong through these struggles of this deadly game
Visions of body bags and my homies closed caskets
Illusions of prison and pistols pressures that I blastin'
I'm out to live with no time to play
I got the tendencies to kill in relentless ways
Straight up, cause life is a trick bitch, if you weep and reek
You stuck outta luck, seekin' for relief
Too much destruction, they claim we gotta make a change
So much trouble between each other cause ya ghetto life is strange

Philosophically, psychologically ya fixin' to be fucked
We goin' on this ride and ya bitch I'm gon' seduct
Nigga what, do I give a...
Ask the mound killer
Faces I remember they say dump him in the river
New Year's Eve 1999 nigga
Virtual reality, galaxy gettin' slicker
Me and Crime Boss and a nigga named Mister
Mike to a flight, had some glitz to deliver
Headed back to the Suave castle
I had to wrestle with this transvestite who had a dick like a lasso
In this castle was a midget with banana clippin'
Bootleg sniffin' or Mr. Mike'll fuckin' wicked
Ways infared waves hit his fuckin' chest
Blew his ass to bits, particles of green shit




It really goes to show ya that shit ain't changed
In year 2000 life still be strange

In my home, there was a little person with ammunition for a gun

If you try to sell counterfeit products, I'll become violent


Ways infared waves hit his fuckin' chest
I shot him with a gun that uses infrared technology to aim accurately

This event proves that things haven't really changed over time


In year 2000 life still be strange
Even in the year 2000, life is still unpredictable and chaotic

The Lightning Hunter

The clear-air strikes at 0:27 and the flash at 2:16 were positive strokes.

They can be recognized by their single strokes with long continuing current, i.e. the bolt stays lit after it connects and then fades away.

They can also be recognized by their smooth channels-- the 2:16 flash is a great example.

On still photos, look for an abrupt cutoff of side-branches with lower extent. No branching at all also indicates positive polarity.

And finally, just because a lightning bolt strikes far away from rainfall or from the top of a storm cloud doesn't mean it's positive. Most "bolt-from-the-blue" strikes are actually negative!

Imagine seeing an “extremely rare” never seen before lightning strike

without a camera

Esper 86

I would cherish the experience and tell other people what I saw. I've seen many amazing things without a camera, and those experiences are uniquely mine.

GojiraWook

what would the hyper rare camera look like, a new shape of lightning?

LUKE ETHAN SARRAGA DORMIDO

If there is a storm or the tornado lightning will happen

MAX GALAXYKID

I'd lose it only after the fact. How am I to know what it was unless I told someone and THEN be told that was never before seen?

Idk what to put here

I remember there was lighting strike next to our car, and i was in that car.


I was so scared lmao😭 and regret for not taking a video or a photo tho :')

Hank, I used to be a storm chaser back in college and I have seen ball lightning. In May 2009 I was sleeping in on the last day before finals. I awoke around 9am to tornado sirens. The tornado sirens were for extremely high, tornado-strength winds associated with a derecho that was moving through the Ozarks. You can read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_2009_Southern_Midwest_derecho

I ran into the living room of my apartment and the wind was so strong it was blasting water around the edges of my sliding door, spraying the entire room. It was then that I saw it. It was like an orb of undulating energy waves. You could see the edges of it vibrating slowly and it looked like plasma. It was totally unreal and filled me with awe. It was a golden white color, like I was staring into a giant sparkler that was collapsing in on itself. I can't tell you how difficult it is to describe, much less describe it accurately. I estimated it was fairly close since the visibility was so low from the heavy rain, probably a quarter mile, and maybe 500 feet off the ground moving mostly towards me but slightly to the left. It only lasted maybe 10 seconds, but it felt like an eternity. I grabbed my camera off the couch which was, at the time, a Canon 40D, but was unable to get a photo because the compact flash card was not in the camera. I will always remember that for the rest of my life, and I always keep a fresh SD card in my new camera today (it has two slots) and try to keep it on my nightstand so I can quickly grab it. But I don't expect I'll ever see that again as long as I live. It's one of those personal experiences that changes you on some level.

I know my words mean nothing to you, but I swear upon them. I even looked up flight arrival and departure times for the regional airport, which is well north, and there was nothing coming in during that time. It would also be crazy for a plane to try to land during a derecho, or any aircraft to be out in that. It is among the top craziest storms that I have personally witnessed. I eventually gave up chasing when I was nearly hit by a rain wrapped tornado in the Ozarks. A couple years after that I was getting the itch to chase again. Conditions were highly favorable towards western Missouri near Oklahoma. I was gearing up to go but had a bad feeling about it and chickened out. That storm ended up hitting Joplin, MO and you know the rest. I took that as a sign that I wasn't cut out for chasing and gave it up for good. Anyway, just wanted you to know that ball lightning is for sure a real phenomenon, just extremely rare and short lived.

nah tho

that's amazing!!!

I believe I saw ball lightning once (Quite a while after I saw this video too).
I went for a walk right before this massive storm entered my town, I was constantly looking up at the clouds to see if the lightning was getting closer, which it was, so I kept a reasonable pace (basically jogging). I quickly looked up to check the sky, when I noticed a small glowing ball drop straight out of the clouds, and hit the ground a block away from me. It didn’t make a sound when it hit.
At that point I thought ‘screw this!’ And I sprinted home.
It’s safe to say I always check the weather radar if I think a storm is around now.
(P.s. This was in Aus)
