Radstock is a town in Somerset, England, 9 miles (14 km) south west of Bath, and 8 miles (13 km) north west of Frome. It is within the unitary authority of Bath and North East Somerset and had a population of 5,620 according to the 2011 Census. Since 2011 Radstock has been a town council in its own right.
Radstock has been settled since the Iron Age, and its importance grew after the construction of the Fosse Way, a Roman road. The growth of the town occurred after 1763, when coal was discovered in the area. Large numbers of mines opened during the 19th century including several owned by the Waldegrave family, who had been Lords of the Manor since the English Civil War. Admiral Lord Radstock, brother of George, fourth Earl Waldegrave, took the town's name as his title when created a Baron.
The spoil heap of Writhlington colliery is now the Writhlington Site of Special Scientific Interest, which includes 3,000 tons of Upper Carboniferous spoil from which more than 1,400 insect fossil specimens have been recovered. The complex geology and narrow seams made coal extraction difficult. Tonnage increased throughout the 19th century, reaching a peak around 1901, when there were 79 separate collieries and annual production was 1,250,000 tons per annum. However, due to local geological difficulties and manpower shortages output declined and the number of pits reduced from 30 at the beginning of the 20th century to 14 by the mid-thirties; the last two pits, Kilmersdon and Writhlington, closed in September 1973. The Great Western Railway and the Somerset and Dorset Railway both established stations and marshalling yards in the town. The last passenger train services to Radstock closed in 1966. Manufacturing industries such as printing, binding and packaging provide some local employment. In recent years, Radstock has increasingly become a commuter town for the nearby cities of Bath and Bristol.

Ride
by: HaystakEverybody wants to ride
Everybody gonna die
I ain't gonna slow rhymes to the top in no time
Stay show time, I showshine, running like I'm on the goal line
Grabbed the chrome nine, proceed with caution
Around here shit's rougher than Stone Cold Steve Austin
Floss, ridin' dirty with strikes against me
Say what's on my mind and the critics can give me
Some empty ink pens like clips, fuck a mind game
Welcome to my fully automatic mind frame
They say, "Fuck Haystak"
They don't say that when they see me
No 'cause in reality I'm bigger than on TV
Rolexes don't tick they glide, you can run, you just can't hide
My shit's hotter than pepper spray, bitch ain't barring me
I'm roundin' everyday, you weaker than R&B
My life between [Incomprehensible] enough to make me psychotic
I was born up around the projects that's why I speak Ebonics
Everybody wants to ride, no one want to die
(Come on, now)
Why be afraid of one place on the other side
(You ready?)
Why live life in fear, death is guaranteed
(Come on, now)
Take it why you're here, money, hoes and weed
(Let's ride)
Motherfuckers think I'm rappin' for no reason for rhymin'
I'm motivated about the paper, the pussy and the diamond
But in the back of my mind, a part of me still exists
And still writes rhymes for the thrill of killin' lyricists
I'm serious with this like a massive heart attack
Talk that shit but you don't know part of Stak
Drop bombs like quarterbacks, B-52's
Went from interrogation to magazine interviews
Most of my life the situation was win or lose
You died on the drugs, money or your tennis shoes
This shit is deep, wolves dressed up as sheep
The enemy has got you thinkin' their your motherfuckin' peeps
I learned one thing comin' up in Tennessee
It's that people like you, you need people like me
To point your fuckin' finger and say that's the bad guy
Turn green with envy when my posse pass by
Everybody wants to ride, no one want to die
(Come on, now)
Why be afraid of one place on the other side
(You ready?)
Why live life in fear, death is guaranteed
(Come on, now)
Take it why you're here, money, hoes and weed
(Let's ride)
Nobody on your side, speakin' in the phone rapidly
You're thinkin' this motherfucker just blasted me
Hopin' it was a bad dream, the sad thing is, this is reality
And three seconds and you gonna be a fatality, like
Three, two, one, we're losing him people
Don't resist me, it will do you no good, if you try to fight
Just walk with me into this light, even though your heart is full of fright
Don't be afraid, relax, your tension is makin' it worse
There's no point in callin' an ambulance
Somebody get this man a hearse
Everybody wants to ride, no one want to die
(Come on, now)
Why be afraid of one place on the other side
(You ready?)
Why live life in fear, death is guaranteed
(Come on, now)
Take it why you're here, money, hoes and weed
