Bubba Sparxxx
Warren Anderson Mathis (born March 6, 1977), better known by his stage name, Bubba Sparxxx, is an American hip hop recording artist from Troup County, Georgia. He is perhaps best known for his singles "Deliverance", "Ugly", and "Ms. New Booty", the latter of which features the Ying Yang Twins and peaked at #7 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
Early life and education
Mathis was born on March 6, 1977 and grew up in a rural area north of LaGrange, Georgia, a town 65 miles southwest of Atlanta. His father was a school bus driver, his mother a grocery store cashier. His closest neighbor, who lived half a mile away, introduced him to rap music through mixtapes mailed from New York City. The music of 2 Live Crew was his introduction to hip hop; he began listening to West Coast gangsta rap such as N.W.A and Too Short and the Atlanta duo OutKast. With rapping as a hobby, he was a tight end and linebacker for his high school's football team and earned All-Region honors in his senior year.Steve Herndon, a former offensive lineman for the NFL's Atlanta Falcons and Denver Broncos, played football with him during high school, according to an interview with Down-South.com. In 2007, he moved from Atlanta to Tampa.
Bubba
In American usage, bubba is a relationship nickname formed from brother and given to boys, especially eldest male siblings, to indicate their role in a family. For some boys and men, bubba is used so pervasively that it replaces the given name...The nickname may also be used outside the family by friends as a term of endearment.
The linguist Ian Hancock has described similarities between the African language Krio and Gullah, the creole language of African-Americans in the isolated Sea Islands of South Carolina and points out that the Krio expression bohboh (boy) appears in Gullah as buhbuh, which may account for the "bubba" of the American South.

Robert Ferguson notes in his “English Surnames”’; Bubba corresponds with the German bube, a boy. This matches Saxon and Hibernian tradition.
Because of its association with the southern part of the United States, bubba is also often used outside the South as a pejorative to mean a person of low economic status and limited education. Bubba may also be taken to mean one who is a "good ol' boy." In the US Army and Marines, bubba can mean a lay soldier, similar to grunt but with connotations of endearment instead of derision (e.g., "Can you make that device easier to work with, 'cus every bubba is gonna have to use it.").
Bubba (fish)
Bubba (c. 1982 – August 22, 2006) was a Queensland grouper who resided at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, Illinois. Bubba is believed to be the first fish to undergo chemotherapy. He was often nicknamed "The Super Grouper."
History
The 69.3 kilogram Bubba was donated to the aquarium in 1987 by an anonymous donor; at the time he was a female about ten inches long. Bubba switched gender to male (being a protogynous hermaphrodite) in the mid-1990s and eventually grew to 154 pounds while living in the aquarium's "Wild Reef" shark exhibit. In 2001, Bubba developed an unusual growth on his forehead, which was eventually diagnosed to be malignant; the aquarium called in veterinarians to remove the growth surgically and treat Bubba with chemotherapy that year, and again in 2003 when it regrew.
Shedd officials stated that Bubba was popular with cancer survivors, especially children, and was a favorite of visitors. The oncology department of Hope Children's Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois, recognized Bubba with a tile in the ward.

Pain Management
by: Bubba SparxxxThe world is cold as a winter
And people gonna get up under your skin like a splinter
I got a whole lot of issues that are unresolved
I went 2 weeks without seeing nobody, just my dog
His name is Blao, he's the closest thing to a child
I may ever have, I'm selfish as hell, why lie
Too self absorbed of relationships, still I try
From time to time to find me one for my life
And my patterns are hard for a decent woman to
Respect or accept, so whores I keep em' comin through
In the bed with a babbling bitch that loves me
And she bad it's just some about it's ugly
After we finish, I hate when she try to touch me
It ain't her fault, that's just me
I slowly weigh down, but I ain't perfect though
Relapse is a record that I done heard before
And I'm no Marshall Mathers, I'm talking Andy Mathis
I'm talking deadly habits, it's so sad and tragic
The world is cold as a winter
And people gonna get up under your skin like a splinter
I know I'm a sinner
But all I can do is pray, god just take the pain away
Cause I'm cold as the winter
And life done got up under my skin like a splinter
I know I'm a winner
But all I can do is pray, don't let me lose my faith today
I tried my best to be so good to some folks
The same people showed me betrayal up close
The flip side of that coin is I've been negligent
With a lot of my real friends I never meant
To let a day turn into a month and then a year
Without speaking to you, I know that it appears
I just forgot about y'all but really in truth
I forgot about me too, this igloo
I built around myself it's so frigid
And it ain't melting away, I don't dig it
I know life is gone, I'm gon' miss it
It's like it never was here, if you don't live it
I think about the past and get so livid
What the fuck was you thinking, I don't get it
You so capable, personality magnetic
Life could have been so good if you had let it
The world is cold as a winter
And people gonna get up under your skin like a splinter
I know I'm a sinner
But all I can do is pray, god just take the pain away
Cause I'm cold as the winter
And life done got up under my skin like a splinter
I know I'm a winner
But all I can do is pray, don't let me lose my faith today
I may not be the shit to you but where I come from
Them people love Bub, therefor I must just
Stay faithful, the lord got his hands on me
And you don't hate me, you just don't understand, homie
There from humble beginnings I saw limitless
Possibility, fear was my only nemesis
Along the way I forfeited my innocence
But that is ok, thank you lord
For all the pain, the affliction
It's like a mirror in my face that I need to see
All my loss, my addiction
Showed me something that I really needed to know about me
It's like a shape to me, you're more than me
Killing this heart is controlling me
Though I'm out of control, you still order me
Folding me up inside your hands and the words don't come
The world is cold as a winter
And people gonna get up under your skin like a splinter
I know I'm a sinner
But all I can do is pray, god just take the pain away
Cause I'm cold as the winter
And life done got up under my skin like a splinter
I know I'm a winner
But all I can do is pray, let me make it through the day
Let me make it through the day
