Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II

The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is an American twin-engine, straight wing jet aircraft developed by Fairchild-Republic in the early 1970s. It entered service in 1976, and is the only United States Air Force production-built aircraft designed solely for close air support, including attacking tanks, armored vehicles, and other ground targets.

The A-10 was designed around the 30 mm GAU-8 Avenger rotary cannon that is its primary armament. The A-10's airframe was designed for durability, with measures such as 1,200 pounds (540 kg) of titanium armor to protect the cockpit and aircraft systems, enabling it to absorb a significant amount of damage and continue flying. Its short takeoff and landing capability permits operation from airstrips close to the front lines, while its simple design enables maintenance at forward bases with limited facilities. The A-10A single-seat variant was the only version built, though one A-10A was converted to an A-10B twin-seat version. In 2005, a program was begun to upgrade remaining A-10A aircraft to the A-10C configuration.

    Fast Lane

    by: E-40

    (E-40)
    [Verse 1]:
    Livin' the life in the quick lane
    Only the strong can survive
    These streets'll swallow you up man
    and eat you alive
    Cain't be no poodle
    Run tuck yo tail and hide
    They'll spaghetti yo noodle man
    Element of Surprise
    It's goin' around man!
    Death in the air
    Better not be scared
    Cause ay-henas can smell fear
    It's not a lot of love but it's a whole lot of hate
    Beware of your surroundings
    They starving, they ain't
    The lake of fire awaits for those with no souls
    Hot like a stove
    Hotter than hot coals
    That's the thought processer of soil soldier
    6's on the note and postholer, spinach and yola
    I'm talking realer dope money this hustla making
    (E-40)
    [Hook]:
    I'm deep off in this game
    Wherever money and I get to it (whatchu living?)
    In the fast lane [x8]
    [Verse 2]:
    Looking up with greenbacks on your mind is a good sign
    My name ringing like a high school bell, like a church chime
    This ain't chameleon, but go get a glass of wine
    Listen to me preach my rhyme, sit back and recline
    I'm too real to be unreal to truthful to be fake
    Daddy and mommy when they separate ways when I was eight
    But it made me great, more stronger and God willing
    A few years later, I'm worth a few million
    Top billion, killin em with my independent grip
    Got rid of my digital scale and started making hits
    Flipping all kind of whips visits cutlass and Lexus's
    Me and the Clickers St. Charles, God was blessing us
    Successfulness, all praises due to Allah
    Jesus Jehovah the most highest almighty God
    Reverend Therman them other Therman I miss you much
    I know you up in heaven watching over us
    Get back and help people that's what they taught me to do
    Can't save the world but I can help save a few
    People talk behind my back laugh and smiled all in my face
    Saying my voice was too squeaky and my style was a disgrace[Hook]
