Akbar

Abu'l-Fath Jalal ud-din Muhammad Akbar, popularly known as Akbar I (IPA: [əkbər], literally "the great"; 15 October 1542– 27 October 1605) and later Akbar the Great (Urdu: Akbar-e-Azam; literally "Great the Great"), was Mughal Emperor from 1556 until his death. He was the third and one of the greatest rulers of the Mughal Dynasty in India. Akbar succeeded his father, Humayun, under a regent, Bairam Khan, who helped the young emperor expand and consolidate Mughal domains in India. A strong personality and a successful general, Akbar gradually enlarged the Mughal Empire to include nearly all of the Indian Subcontinent north of the Godavari river. His power and influence, however, extended over the entire country because of Mughal military, political, cultural, and economic dominance. To unify the vast Mughal state, Akbar established a centralised system of administration throughout his empire and adopted a policy of conciliating conquered rulers through marriage and diplomacy. In order to preserve peace and order in a religiously and culturally diverse empire, he adopted policies that won him the support of his non-Muslim subjects. Eschewing tribal bonds and Islamic state identity, Akbar strived to unite far-flung lands of his realm through loyalty, expressed through a Persianised culture, to himself as an emperor who had near-divine status.

The case falls to Lieutenant Karthikeyan (Nassar), Major Shiva's father, who had ordered his decommission, who assigns his son to go and help solve the mission.

    Take it There

    by: Akbar

    Take it there
    Take em there
    [ VERSE 1 ]
    I used to live Uptown, 2-1-9th Street
    White Plains, everything was concrete
    On my block up on the hill
    Barnes Ave., yo, everything was chill
    Till night fall, that's when they come out
    (The freaks y'all) Watch the kid with the gun out
    Now many people tell me New York City is horrific
    It is kinda... scary, but let's be realistic
    This is the part that started this music
    When other people out there in the world couldn't do it
    Party people had to wait to see
    The DJ's go forth and back
    We used to rock off these breakbeats
    Way before they called it rap
    Matter of fact, now that I think back
    Hip-hop was the start of somethin big
    The way we took this art straight from the parks
    To where you live
    [ CHORUS ]
    Now this story had to be told
    About how we came in from the cold
    Played my hand and refused to fold
    We made somethin new out of what was old
    And what we make no man can break
    So I took my time cause it was mine to take
    Now low and behold, I heard my tape just sold
    1'000'001, son, now I'm draped in gold
    I took it there
    [ VERSE 2 ]
    Now years ago when I was 9
    Pops said, "It's time to rise and shine"
    He said, "New York City ain't the place to stay"
    We packed the ride and left and headed for L.A.
    Took us west straight through the country
    See, California is the place to see
    So daddy put us inside his Cadillac
    We hit the West coast, I thought we'd never come back
    Now I'm walking green grass, 3 years went past
    Palm trees, ocean breeze, where the summers last
    You see ah, that's the life that I lead
    It taught me home is just a place where you lay your head
    Now get packed, we're makin tracks and stretch across the map
    And there's nothin in this world could ever hold us back
    And I still hold my body in a b-boy stance
    And rock on the mic to make the world wanna dance
    It's fly for the clubs, hardcore for the thugs
    When Ak is on the mic it's definitely all love
    [ CHORUS ]
    [ VERSE 3 ]
    '82 was the year
    We touched down in Chi-town, I see it all so clear
    Motel hell, livin life so poor
    Six of us in the studio, we slept on the floor
    Vice Lords swingin swords, G.D.'s bust they gats
    Latin Kings on the corner with the baseball bats
    But life this way could only get you so far
    When I hopped the train I rode on the last car
    And all I did was puff cheeba, it took my thoughts deeper
    Dropped out of school, found a job so I could keep a
    Roof over my head, shoes on my feet
    Many nights I didn't eat, I learned to hustle in these streets
    They say it's all about money sellin crack to these junkies
    But now I got somethin that they can't take from me
    I'ma push my tape just like it's cocaine
    Let these rap fiends shoot me up in they vein
    They play my jam out in the park
    Gimme ghetto gold, keep your Billboard chart
    When I walk through the [Name] I get love and respect
    Keep one ear to the ground, greet my fam with a pound
    Feels good comin out y'all, book my first world tour
    LP's in the store, I spit it if you want it raw
    ( *scratching of* )
    (You better recognize who you're talking to)
    (Crushing the competition that I stomp from east to west)--> Prince Poetry
    (Who you're talking to)
    (Crushing the competition that I stomp from east to west)
    (Let's get it on, ock)--> The RZA
