| Machir |
|---|
Machir/Makir - meaning bartered - was the name of two figures in the Bible.
1. Machir, the son of Manasseh, and father of Gilead.[1]
In the Torah's account of the journey of the Israelites after the Exodus, Machir (the individual) is portrayed as conquering the territories known as Gilead and Bashan, which had previously been occupied by Amorites.[2][3] Machir's descendants are described as having settled in Gilead and Bashan,[4] and consequently is a key figure in Gilead's history.
2. According to the Books of Samuel, Machir son of Amiel was the name of a descendant of the Machir mentioned above, and resided at Lo-Debar. The text states that here he looked after Meribaal, the son of Jonathan, until David took over his care,[5] and also looked after David himself, when David found himself a fugitive[6]

Machir (biblical region)
Machir was the name of a region mentioned in the Song of Deborah in Jud 5:14. The Song of Deborah speaks of officers (mechokekim) coming from Machir to join the battle against Sisera.
The region is understood in tradition to be identical to the portion of the land of Gilead given to Machir the son of Mansasseh by Moses (Num 32:40, Deu 3:15).

My Way
by: UsherYo see, it's rare that you find people like us
'Cause ya'll the other look out there doin' what I'm doin'
Or tryin' to do what I'm doin' but you can't
'Cause I do what I do my way
What about you? Huh, huh? come on
I do
Any and everything you want to
Make your girl say, ooh, ooh
Why's he so fly
She beeps me
Whenever she wanna get freaky
You can get mad if you want too
Do whatever you want but she still gon' give it up
She likes it
My way, my way, my way
You can't satisfy her needs
She keeps runnin' back to see me do it
My way, my way
What I say goes and I'm in control
Don't check me, check me
It was your girl who let me, let me
Take it this far then, ooh wee, ooh we
She had to have every chance that she could get
But you think you a baller
And I ain't gon' call her
Clip that, you can get mad if you want to
Say whatever you want but she still gon' give it up
'Cause she likes it
My way, ooh my way
You can't satisfy her needs
She keeps runnin' back to see me do it
My way, my way
What I say goes and I'm in control
I'm standing here
Where you ought to be
Got you mad at me 'cause I got your lady
You ain't got to worry, I ain't trying to romance
All I wanna do is make her dance with me
My way, oh my way, my way
You can't satisfy her needs
She keeps runnin' back to see me do it
My way, my way
What I say goes and I'm in control
My way, my way
You can't satisfy her needs
She keeps runnin' back to see me do it
My way, my way
And what I say goes and I'm in control
My way, my way
You can't satisfy her needs
She keeps runnin' back to see me do it
My way, my way
