1) Tank (stylized as TANK) is the name of two British heavy metal bands, both of which stem from a band formed in 1980 by Algy Ward (ex-The Saints, ex-The Damned). The band's brand filthy metal was loved by both punk and metal fans. The original band is known as part of the new wave of British heavy metal movement. Tank was often compared to Motรถrhead as both bands were trios fronted by singing bassists, and played a loose, almost punk-styled metal music with often colourful lyrics. Lemmy, of Motรถrhead, helped them get their first record deal, and "Fast" Eddie Clarke was picked as producer for their debut album, "Filth Hounds of Hades". Heavily influenced by bands like Motรถrhead, they were a productive force of the NWOBHM movement, and are still making music in the 21st century. After legal and creative disputes, Algy Ward led one version of the group while guitarists Mick Tucker and Cliff Evans led the other (Tucker/Evans Tank).
2) Tank is the stage name of an American R&B singer, songwriter, musician, and producer, Durrell Babbs.
Tank was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on January 1, 1976 and he was raised in Clinton, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C. Tank took an instant interest in singing and playing the piano, partially due to his alliance to religion โ his cousin directed the church choir and helped the aspiring vocalist foster his singing talent from an early age. His stage name comes from his chiseled physique. A multi-sport athlete in high school, he had the opportunity to play college football. However, Tank decided to focus on music, and his talent eventually led him to an opportunity to sing background vocals for Ginuwine during one of Ginuwine's tours. Next, he found himself singing with Aaliyah and then Blackground Records founder Barry Hankerson, and his son (and company president) Jomo Hankerson took notice, offering Tank the opportunity to become a solo artist. In 2001, Tank realized his ambitions, seeing his debut album, Force of Nature, released to a national audience. This LP rendered the Top 10 R&B ballad, "Maybe I Deserve".
The next year, Tank released his second album, One Man. The single of the same name had chart success as well. He also co-produced the smash hit single "One Minute Man" by Missy Elliott in 2002.
Tank has also made a name for himself as a producer and writer, working with artists such as Dave Hollister, Marques Houston, Omarion, Jamie Foxx, Donell Jones, Monica among others. Along with The Underdogs, he has worked with many different artists over the years and was also a contributor to the score of the film adaptation of the musical Dreamgirls, in which he also had a cameo.
Tank sold what was to be the lead single to his 3rd album, "I Luv Dem Girls", to Marques Houston who renamed it "Strip Club" (this song appears on Marques Houston's 3rd solo album "Veteran"). Tank has recently worked on Kelly Rowland's second album Ms. Kelly on the tracks "The Show" (a duet with Tank himself) and "Ghetto" featuring Snoop Dogg. "Ghetto" is also set to be the album's second single.
Tank released his 3rd solo album entitled "Sex, Love & Pain" on May 15, 2007. The first single of this album is "Please Don't Go". Tank has also formed a group with Ginuwine and Tyrese named TGT. Their first single will be a remix of "Please Don't Go", with an international tour entitled "The Shirts Off Tour" and search for a fourth member to follow.
Tank, along with Tyrese, are set to perform in West Oakland at the Paramount Theater on November 2, 2007.

Kill 4 You
Tank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I wanna love you for life
How can I make you see
Your the only one for me
Things you never had before
I'll give you them and so much more
I will go as far as you need just to make you see
Steal for you
Girl I would do time for any crime
To prove my life is true
Girl I would kill for you
Steal for you
Girl I would do time for any crime
To prove my life is true
Said he doesn't treat you right
Your marrage is just one big fight
Telling me you wanna be free
I think I know what you mean
He likes to go running at night
I'll make sure that this is his last time
Cause we need him out of the way
So we can be together always baby
Creeping up from behind
With everything intension on taking his life
I caught him slipping my knife is deep
And now it can be you and me
Repeat chorus
Ohh Oooh
What did you tell the police
You gave them my name
You better explain
Now there out there looking for me
I did this for you I thought you wanted me to
I wont go down alone
But I don't have proof you were in this too
Now there's only one thing to do
Your the only witness so I have to kill you
Repeat chorus
Until fade
The lyrics of Tank's song "Kill 4 You" are controversial and disturbing, as it portrays a dangerous and violent behavior towards a love interest. The singer tries to make his love interest realize that he wants to love her for life, and he would go to any extent to prove his love to her. The lyrics convey that he's willing to kill, steal, and do time for any crime to prove his devotion and love towards her.
The song talks about the male singer's desire to protect his love interest from her unhappy marriage by killing her husband. The lyrics suggest that he knows her husband's patterns and whereabouts and creeps up behind him to catch him slipping and take his life. He believes that he needs her husband out of the way so that they can be together and that he has done all of this only for her. The climax of the song occurs when the love interest betrays the singer and tells the police his name.
The song portrays toxic and possessive behavior towards love, and it's not something that people should encourage or aspire to. It shows that love can drive people to commit morally and ethically reprehensible acts. The lyrics of the song are a warning sign that love can be dangerous if it becomes obsessive and possessive.
