Nitre

Nitre (most English-speaking countries) or Niter (American English) is the mineral form of potassium nitrate, KNO3, also known as saltpeter in America or saltpetre in other English-speaking countries. Historically, the term "nitre" was not well differentiated from natron, both of which have been very vaguely defined but generally refer to compounds of sodium or potassium joined with carbonate or nitrate ions. Three related minerals are soda nitre (sodium nitrate), ammonia nitre (ammonium nitrate), and strontium nitrate.

Because of its ready solubility in water, nitre is most often found in arid environments. A major source of sodium nitrate mineral ("Chile saltpeter", that is, nitratine) is the Atacama desert in Chile. Potassium and other nitrates are of great importance for use in fertilizers and, historically, gunpowder. Much of the world's demand is now met by synthetically produced nitrates, though the natural mineral is still mined and is still of significant commercial value.

    Talking That Shit

    by: Nature

    I rap for all thug cliques bloods and crips
    Niggas who hate the cameras and loving the chips
    Caught in solitude old timers taught me how to move
    Fort apache Queensbridge corner athlete

    The whole clique be heavily truck

    Tricking house notes and whips on these foul hoes
    Wild as Alpo crack crusade rap bu-ffets
    A rare site like blacks in toupees
    Keep the Rollie shinin' true players know the science
    And those that's behind me be the Giants
    While y'all are Jets

    From competing with fam
    Hold guns squeeze with either hand
    It's like I'm ambidexterous somehow stress this
    Talking about blowing knowing the family's restless
