In religious philosophy, the Absolute is the concept of (a form of) Being which transcends limited, conditional, everyday existence. The manifestation of the Absolute has been described as the Logos, Word, the Ṛta or Ratio (Latin for "reason").
Related concepts are the Source, Fountain or Well, the Centre, the Monad or One, the All or Whole, the Origin (Arche) or Principle or Primordial Cause, the Sacred or Holy or Utterly Other (Otto), the Form of the Good (Plato), the Mystery, Nirvana, the Ultimate, the Ground or Urground ("Original Ground").
It is sometimes used as an alternate term for the more commonly used God of the Universe, the Divine or the Supreme Being ("Utmost Being"), especially, but by no means exclusively, to express it in less personal and more impersonal representations. The concept of the Absolute may or may not (depending on one's specific doctrine) possess discrete will, intelligence, awareness, or a personal nature. It is sometimes conceived of as the source through which all being emanates. It contrasts with finite things, considered individually, and known collectively as the relative. This is reflected in the name's Latin etymology absolūtus which means "loosened from" or "unattached" (from a subject-object dualism).

It was me and mike in our hometown
We were hangin out playin on the playground
We were runnin round doin our thing
Then up walks James and his gang
We said hey we dont want any trouble
Then james said well I hate to burst your bubble
But your about to get your butt kicked bad
Your bout to get shot, your bout to get stabbed
Then james sent two of his guys
We punched them in the eye and they both began to cry
Mike said james you better back up
You keep talkin smack you gon get smacked up
James said go attack right now
The situation turned into a real fight now
2 vs 2 were the two man crew
Yeah its true cuz we stick together just like glue
It's a fight to the finish a battle to the death
The only one who leaves is the last man left
We're the toughest of the tough, we're the best of the best
We're the best and we're better than the rest
It's a fight to the finish, a battle to the death
The only one who leaves is the last man left
We're the toughest of the tough, we're the best of the best
We're the best and we're better than the rest
Bulldog chased me to the top of the slide
I kicked him off the side, everybody thought he died
But he didn't cuz he never does
Bulldog is the toughest bad guy that there ever was
Mike was fighting like he never fought before
He punched snake eyes and he knocked him on the floor
But snake eyes is a crafty little guy
He grabbed Mike's leg and he stabbed him in the thigh
Mike pulled out the knife, he was fighting for his life
Then bulldog shot me in the left arm twice
It felt like a spike, I ran over to Mike
I looked at Bulldog and said you better take a hike
Me and Mike locked arms and we started spinning round
To the average human being we looked like a couple clowns
But me and mike both knew what to do
Them punks came runnin' and they both went boom
It's a fight to the finish a battle to the death
The only one who leaves is the last man left
We're the toughest of the tough, we're the best of the best
We're the best and we're better than the rest
It's a fight to the finish a battle to the death
The only one who leaves is the last man left
We're the toughest of the tough, we're the best of the best
