Khaled Mashal (Arabic: خالد مشعل Khālid Mashʿal, Levantine Arabic: [xaːled meʃʕal], born 28 May 1956) is a Palestinian political leader and the leader of the Islamic Palestinian organization Hamas since the Israeli assassination of Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi in 2004.
After the founding of Hamas in 1987, Mashal came to lead the Kuwaiti branch of the organization. He moved from Kuwait to Jordan in 1991. Since the expulsion of the Hamas leadership from Jordan in August 1999, Mashal lived in Qatar before moving to the Syrian capital of Damascus in 2001. He returned to Qatar in 2012 as a result of the Syrian civil war.
Mashal was born in 1956 in Silwad in the West Bank during the Jordanian occupation. He attended Silwad Elementary School until the 1967 Six-Day War. His father moved the family to Kuwait afterwards for financial reasons. Mashal joined the Muslim Brotherhood in 1971. He holds a bachelor of science degree in Physics from Kuwait University.
While at Kuwait University, Mashal headed the Islamic Justice (qa’imat al-haq al-islamiyya) list in the General Union of Palestinian Students (GUPS) elections in 1977.
[Intro: x6]
Nice and... [James Brown:] ("Nasty! ")
(Ho!) ("HEY! ")
("Make it sound good") ("HEY! ")
[Verse 1: Michel'le (Dr. Dre)]
You know I can never do
Things that, you want me to
The way I appear to you
May not be true to you
So don't get your hopes too high
And don't be like other guys (Yeah, baby I'm a get you)
Assuming that every girl is just like that type
(Oh, is that right?)
Mennn...
(Hey baby, what's your name?)
Runnin' the same ol' sayin'
(Excuse me, honey, but is your husband married?)
[talking:] No more questions, no more games
[Chorus:]
Some people think I'm nice
Some people think I'm nasty
But if you really want to know
Just ask meeeeeee...
And I'll say I'm nicety
Hooooo-hoooo-hoooo, say I'm nicety
[interlude: x2]
Nice and... ("nasty") ("HEY! ")
[Verse 2: Michel'le (Dr. Dre)]
You said you would treat me right
And I'd never be alone
[talking:] But men'll say anything
Just to try to take you home (Yeah, I know that's right)
But don't get your hopes too high
'Cause I've got to keep it tight
And that's the way it will stay
Until I feel it's right (Oh, is that right?)
Mennn...
(Hey, don't I know you from somewhere?)
Runnin the same ol' sayin
(Yo, you comin over? I PROMISE I won't try anything)
[talking:] No more questions, no more games
[Chorus]
Nicetyyyyyy...
It's got to be nicety
Hooooo-hoooo-hoooo, say I'm nicety
Nicety-eeeeee...
You can call me nicety
Some people think I'm nice
Some people think I'm nasty
But if you really want to know
Just ask MEEEEEEEE...
And I'll say I'm -
[Dr. Dre:]
Nicety, or whatever you wanna call it
Ask my opinion and I think that all it is
Is just an excuse to givin the boots
For dollar and cents, and remain innocent
Dre with the Ruthless Attack, check it
'Cause all that you talkin about ain't Jack!
Step off of that, try a new approach
You get smoked because I ain't no joke
Yeah, yeah...
[interlude: x2]
Nice and... ("nasty") ("HEY! ")

Just say I'm nicety
You can call me nicety

Hoooooo-hooooooo-hoooo, just call me nicety
