Tai Wo

Tai Wo (Chinese: 太和) is an area in Tai Po Town in the New Territories of Hong Kong; it forms the northern part of Tai Po Town. It has its own railway station on the MTR and a market. Tai Wo Estate is a large public housing estate in the area; its shopping centre is adjacent to the Tai Wo MTR station.

Tai Wo was also a former name of the current Fu Shin Street (富善街), one of the market town in Tai Po. The Tai Wo Market (Chinese: 太和墟) was developed since 1892 by the Tsat Yeuk (七約, lit. "Seven Alliance"), an inter-village alliance, in order to break the monopoly of the old Tai Po Market (大埔墟) formed by the Tang Clan of Lung Yeuk Tau (龍躍頭鄧氏).

However, in present time, the name Tai Wo mostly refers to the area surrounding the Tai Wo Station of East Rail and the Tai Wo Estate. Fu Shin Street is being considered as a part of the old Tai Po Market.

    Whoop Whoop

    by: Twiztid

    I'm untouchable
    Sixteen ways to die, but I'd rather just cut your
    throat
    Unlovable
    Bred through hate, product of date rape but you can't
    wait to cremate
    I take lives with steak knives and such
    I leave so many cuts that there's nothin left to touch
    And I walk with the family mind set on casualty
    I put mirrors in ya eyes so ya had to see
    That it had to be a mass suicide at your gathering
    What a catastrophe
    Front page, blame it on us
    Scapegoat for all, in Twiztid we trust
    In the tour bus headed for the white house lawn
    I can only be the scapegoat for so long
    You can clear bongs while I clear channels
    Live show is sick like cups of brain matter
    [CHORUS x2]
    WHOOP WHOOP
    You could never do what I do
    WHOOP WHOOP
    Even if I became you
    WHOOP WHOOP
    You gotta let go of the envy
    Cuz on your best day you'll never be me
    I'm Jeffrey Dahmer with a Wayne Gacy mask on
    Drill a hole inside your head and axe it till ya pass
    Amass on cubby holes and crawl spaces
    UNTRUSTABLE
    I'm Harvey Dent double sided with Two-Face
    Cuz I killed Jason at Crystal Lake
    Stuck a axe in his back and said it was a mistake
    Now the legend is dead, but the legacy lives on
    Through the blood in my veins every time I spit out a
    song
    I'm Richard Ramirez with Bundy eyes
    Leave a pussy stolen and swollen with bloody alibis
    I'm a cat with 9 lives, a monster with 50 kills
    With a shotgun, roamin' the streets of Beverly hills
    I'm in your hood like a street siren
    And for whatever motherfucker if you're thinkin you're
    gonna take mine
    Another product of reality
    Call it a blemish on the floor of society's vanity
    [CHORUS x2]
    If I cut ya tongue out and left mine in it's place
    You still couldn't taste what the fuck I say
    I'm a split time for swallowin razor blades
    So I get spit blind for every word that I say
    I'm poisonous, better check your thermos
    Cuz I spikin' all the coffee at your funeral service
    I'm a psycho bad boy, all no-purpose
    And I stuff bad bitches like a taxidermist.
