Rick Barry
Richard Francis Dennis "Rick" Barry III (born March 28, 1944) is an American retired professional basketball player who played in both the American Basketball Association (ABA) and National Basketball Association (NBA). Named one of the 50 Greatest Players in history by the NBA in 1996, Barry is the only player to lead the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), ABA and NBA in scoring for an individual season. He was known for his unorthodox but effective underhand free throw shooting technique, and at the time of his retirement in 1980, his .900 free throw percentage ranked first in NBA history. In 1987, Barry was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. He is the father of former NBA players Brent Barry and Jon Barry.
Biography
Early years and college career
Barry grew up in Roselle Park, New Jersey and was an All-American basketball player for the University of Miami, where he starred for three seasons. While at Miami, Barry met his wife Pamela, the daughter of Hurricanes head coach Bruce Hale. As a senior in the 1964–65 campaign, Barry led the NCAA with a 37.4 points-per-game average. Barry and the Hurricanes did not take part in the NCAA Tournament, however, because the basketball program was on probation at the time. Barry is one of just two basketball players to have his number retired by the school.
Wheel
A wheel is a circular component that is intended to rotate on an axle bearing. The wheel is one of the main components of the wheel and axle which is one of the six simple machines. Wheels, in conjunction with axles, allow heavy objects to be moved easily facilitating movement or transportation while supporting a load, or performing labor in machines. Wheels are also used for other purposes, such as a ship's wheel, steering wheel, potter's wheel and flywheel.
Common examples are found in transport applications. A wheel greatly reduces friction by facilitating motion by rolling together with the use of axles. In order for wheels to rotate, a moment needs to be applied to the wheel about its axis, either by way of gravity, or by the application of another external force or torque.
Etymology
The English word wheel comes from the Old English word hweol, hweogol, from Proto-Germanic *hwehwlan, *hwegwlan, from Proto-Indo-European *kwekwlo-, an extended form of the root *kwel- "to revolve, move around". Cognates within Indo-European include Icelandic hjól "wheel, tyre", Greek κύκλος kúklos, and Sanskrit chakra, the latter both meaning "circle" or "wheel".
The Wheel
The Wheel is an album by singer-songwriter Rosanne Cash. Most of the songs on the album reflected Cash's feelings on embarking on a new relationship after the dissolution of her marriage to Rodney Crowell. Though neither of its two singles, "The Wheel" and "You Won't Let Me In", charted on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, the album received considerable critical acclaim. A video was produced for the "The Wheel".

The Rick
by: Frontline(Intro)
Yeah, I'm from Richmond
Hell yeah, it's crazy out here
Nigga might stab you over a dollar in a dice game
Nigga might shoot you over some King Cobra
Shit, it's crazy in the Rich
(Left)
I was born poor, lived poor
Top Ramen, dirty floor
Dirty clothes, Snotty Nose
Empty stomach, Brutal soul
Running around the village with a bag full of Now-n-Laters
Watching all the dope dealers hustle making dirty paper
Yellow bus, free lunch
Missing school, should have flunked
Fights with older niggaz had to let them know I'm not a punk
Ran up on a couple chumps
No help, I got jumped
Fought back when a lotta niggaz probably would have run
Dirty cops, Task Force batter-ram my front door
Looking for my pop's coke stash under the kitchen floor
More Drama
Watched good mothers turn to crack mamas
Watching beauty queens
Turn to dope fiends
Lost honor
Friend shot, some are dead
Bullets sending out their head
All over turf business
Niggaz turn to cold killers
Rap game, hoop game
Dope game, same thing
Only way that niggaz thought they'd make it out the Rich, man
(Chorus/Left)
That's how it is in the (RICH)
That's all we get in the (RICH)
That's how we live in the (RICH)
That's how we live in the (RICH)
That's how it is in the (RICH)
That's all we get in the (RICH)
That's how we live in the (RICH)
That's how we live in the (RICH)
That's how it is in the (RICH)
(Northside, Southside)
That's all we get in the (RICH)
(Seaside, Crescent Park)
That's how we live in the (RICH)
(Hillside, the Village)
That's how we live in the (RICH)
(My niggaz all heart)
(Locksmith)
Yeah, Okay
Now I'ma take y'all niggaz to the start
Curly hair, Crescent Park
Early years, stressing hard
Niggaz letting weapons spark
Mama had an aching heart
Daddy didn't play his part
They was separated a minute but didn't stay apart
Sister was an artist then
Left's uncle started seeing
Crack came barging in
Niggaz wasn't starving then
We was on some real shit
Filthy Phil, Li'l Rick
Filthy pulled an ill lick
But to us he's still sick
Same time, dope game
Cocaine flooded in
Drought came, no 'caine
Dough ain't coming in
Niggaz was hungry, their fucking stomachs was rumbling
Out comes the gun again
Pigs started running in
It happened all in Richmond (HUH)
Where them bullets be whistling (HUH)
My little cousin was murdered
And, shit I fucking miss him
But we gonna keep it pimping
Carry on his tradition
We representing
You fucking haters, I hope you listening
(Chorus)
(Left and Locksmith)
Le: You've got the boys in the Village, man
Chilling on Griffin
During the day, but at night
It's dope dealing and killing
Lo: You've got the Crescent Park niggaz, down on Fleming
Niggaz will snatch off your rims if you come through spinning
Le: You've got the niggaz in the projects out in North
Where they fight in the street bare-knuckle like it's a sport
Lo: You've got the Seaside niggaz they be holding steel
Fuck around, there'll be rollin' ill
Le: You've got the Easter Hill Boys, one way in, one way out
Run your mouth, they will knock you out
Lo: And there's a lot more niggaz in church than we could mention
Le: But no matter where you stay, motherfucker, it's all Richmond
(Chorus)
That's how it is in the (RICH)
(Northside, Southside)
That's all we get in the (RICH)
(Seaside, Crescent Park)
That's how we live in the (RICH)
(Hillside, the Village)
That's how we live in the (RICH)
