Later Baekje
Hubaekje or Later Baekje was one of the Later Three Kingdoms of Korea, along with Hugoguryeo and Silla. It was officially founded by the disaffected Silla general Gyeon Hwon in 900, and fell to Wanggeon's Goryeo army in 936. Its capital was at Jeonju, in present-day North Jeolla province. Most of our information about the kingdom comes from the accounts found in the Samguk Yusa and Samguk Sagi, which largely coincide.
Background
When it began with his attack on Mujinju in 892, Gyeon Hwon's was only one among numerous rebellions which sprouted up against the weak Silla rulers in late 9th century. Many of these rebellions were initially triggered by the Silla decision to use force to collect taxes on the peasantry in 889 (Lee, 1984, p. 98). At this time most of the power on the peninsula was held by local gentry, who lacked strong loyalty to the central government. It was thus fairly easy for rebellions led by disaffected military officials to gain steam.
In its name, Hubaekje sought to establish itself as the legitimate successor to the ancient kingdom of Baekje which had ruled the southwestern Korean peninsula until conquered by Silla in 660.

Don't Be Afraid
by: Howie BeckSucking on a word to spit it out
You never say much but you talk so loud
Nothing's ever done since you're back around
And i just can't wait till you're falling off
So don't be afraid if you're all fucked up
Everybody knows you'll get through somehow
It doesn't seem to matter if you're right or wrong
So you're looking for lies that you told
You're looking for lies that you sold
You've always got somebody hanging around
That feel you walking by when the wind's go
Don't be afraid if you're all fucked up
Everybody knows you'll get through somehow
It doesn't seem to matter if you're right or wrong
Don't be afraid if you're all fucked up
Everybody knows you'll get through somehow
It doesn't really matter if you're right or wrong
Everybody knows you'll get through somehow
I'm not afraid if you ever found out
I stole it from a friend who's been less unknown
You're just another fake but you're never outdone
No i never wanna see you again
I never wanna see what you do again
Just another day they'll be bringing you down
