Ravana
Rāvaṇa(/ˈrɑːvənə/) is the primary antagonist in the Hindu epic Ramayana, where he is depicted as the king of Lanka. Rāvaṇa is depicted and described as having ten heads. He is described as a follower of Shiva, a great scholar, a capable ruler and a maestro of the veena, but someone who wished to overpower the devas. His ten heads represent his knowledge of the six shastras and the four Vedas. In the Ramayana, Rāvaṇa is the antagonist, kidnapping Rama's wife Sita to exact vengeance on Rama and his brother Lakshmana for having cut off the nose of his sister Shurpanakha.
Etymology
The word Ravana (Sanskrit: रावन्) means roaring opposite of Vaiśravaṇa meaning "hear distinctly" (passive). Both Ravana and Vaiśravaṇa who is popularly known as Lord Kubera are considered to be patronymics derived as sons of Vishrava.
Iconography
Ravana is depicted and described as having ten heads. Sometimes he is depicted with only nine heads because he has sacrificed a head to convince Lord Shiva. He is described as a devout follower of the god Shiva, a great scholar, a capable ruler and a maestro of the Veena. Ravana is also depicted as the author of the Ravana Samhita, a book on Hindu astrology and book Arka Prakasham; book on Siddha medicine and treatment . Ravana possessed a thorough knowledge of Siddha,"The Oldest traditional treatment system" and political science. He is said to have possessed the nectar of immortality, which was stored inside his belly, thanks to a celestial boon by Brahma.

Backflip
by: Raven[Verse 1]
Don't give me your tired act, after you been runnin 'round
The time you spend with me, you shouldn't be comin down.
Don't give me no attitude, sayin what you will and will not do
Baby we need compromise, we're gonna make it through.
Push yourself a little more boy
For me you gotta try a little harder
All I do is for the love of you
Show me you're always gonna be there
No matter what you're always gonna be there
Here's what you gotta do...
[Chorus]
I wanna see ya Backflip
Cartwheel
Don't be cuttin corners on me
YOu Gotta give me all that

I need to see it to believe it
I wanna see ya Backflip
for real
Show me that you, really
Do feel, everything you say that
You do
I need to see it to believe it.
[Verse 2]
Don't bring me no baggage cause, I've got plenty on my own
Bring me all your good stuff, baby leave the rest at home
You've got your own philosophy, wanna hear all that you believe
But if it ain't about being faithful
Then it ain't impressin me
Push yourself a little more boy
For me you gotta try a little harder
All I do is for the love of you
Show me you're always gonna be there
No matter what you're always gonna be there
Here's what you gotta do...
[Chorus Repeat]
[Bridge Chorus:]
