Basra
Basra, also written Basrah (Arabic: البصرة; BGN: Al Başrah), is an Iraqi city located on the Shatt al-Arab river between Kuwait and Iran. It had an estimated population of 1.5 million of 2012. Basra is also Iraq's main port, although it does not have deep water access, which is handled at the port of Umm Qasr.
The city is part of the historic location of Sumer, one of the ports from which Sinbad the Sailor journeyed, and a proposed location of the Garden of Eden. It played an important role in early Islamic history and was built in 636 AD or 14 AH. It is Iraq's second largest and most populous city after Baghdad (Mosul has an uncertain population under ISIS occupation). Basra is consistently one of the hottest cities in Iraq, with summer temperatures regularly exceeding 50 °C (122 °F).
Etymology
The city was called by many names throughout its history, Basrah being the most common. In Arabic the word basrah means 'the overwatcher', which might have been an allusion to the city's origin as an Arab military base against the Sassanids. Some sources claim that the name is derived from the Persian word Bas-rah, which means "where many paths meet". Others have argued that the name is derived from the Aramaic word basratha, meaning 'place of huts' or 'settlement'.

Bastra
Bastra, the Greek deformation of the Arabic word Basra, which is also a similar game played in Egypt, Lebanon and other Middle-Eastern countries, is a popular fishing card game similar to Cassino very popular in Cyprus. In Turkey, the game is known as Pişti or Paşta.
History
The game was probably introduced to the Cypriots through the Turks during the Ottoman occupation. There are also variations of the game played in Greece, such as Diloti and Kseri. The game has been exported by both the Cypriot and Turkish diasporas and is played in Cypriot communities in Australia, Canada, England and the United States, usually passed on by the first generation of immigrants to their children and grandchildren. Despite this, the game is virtually unknown in these countries outside of the Cypriot and Greek communities. In Turkey the game is still very popular.
The game
The game is played with a 52 card deck and can involve two, three or four players, although the game is most interesting in the two or four player versions. In the four player version, the players can play for themselves or in two player teams. The first team or player to score 100 points is the winner.

Ever since I was a kid I had a violent past,
Whooped a nurse ass for touching my diaper rash!
And I ain't goin' work, I'm a lazy shit,
That's why I'm living warn with a fat white bitch
She's 36 and keeps a gun full of arsenal,
But son's 13, loves to listen to Marshall,
But I whoop his ass, and send him a school,
And let 'em know, that taking drugs is cool!
See I'm on sum dumb shit, don't know right from wrong,
All up on murder Inc. trying to get Ja Rule on a song.
And I used to be a virgin, grown-ass man,
Until I took a trip off to Neverland.

Kicked his ass over, I fucked 'im with a broom, coz...

For the last three months you know where I been!
Snorting, shooting, getting a fix,
Got two Indian bitches in the motel 6
Four bags and twenty bears,
And I don't even know who the fuck D12 is!
I'm on the stage doing a lovesong, (forever...)
You'll fall, knowing damn well I'm wrong,
And I don't want no prostitute to have no sex,
I wanna bitch to break my neck, while I try to get her wet!
So, kids! Don't smoke no weed!
Cause you'll end up just like me!
