    of prison 
    daily 

    At 
    certain 
    times 
    when there 

    was no 
    heat 

    We stay 
    under covers 

    There 
    was life 
    like

    Come dinner 
    time 
    it was tippin'

    Boil 
    a big 
    pot 
    of water 
    on 

    the stove 
    to take 
    bath 

    Rub 
    my face 
    with 
    olive 
    oil 

    All my mates 
    used 
    to laugh 

    All 
    my cous
    in's 
    moved out 

    We 
    all got 
    di
    vided 

    As i started 
    to get 
    older 
    I seen 

    God 
    providing 

    I've seen 
    50 pound 
    last 
    3 months solid 

    I got 
    my first 
    pair 
    of 
    Nikes we were 

    still 
    eating 
    porridge 

    Me and 
    my cousin 
    used 
    to play 

    Mel 
    and Kim 

    Practising 
    dan
    cin' 

    Coming 
    down 
    the stairs 
    and ting 

    I touched 
    Africa 
    and came 

    back 
    darker 

    Knowing 
    myself 

    Feeling 
    my 
    roots 
    a little 
    bit 
    harder 

    1980 Year 
    that 
    God 
    made 
    Verse 3
    me

    to get 
    by

    started 
    to write 
    rhymes 

    Walk 
    with me 
    reminisce 
    my 
    life 

    So 
    then 
    we moved up

    to write 
    rhymes 

    Walk 
    with 
    me reminisce 
    my 
    life 

    So 
    then we 
    moved 
    up 

    I thought

    Prince 
    Verse 5

    Dynasty 
    was re- 
    runs 
    and Dallas 
    was faded 

    With three 
    beds 
    this 
    time 
    and six 
    kids 

    We 
    got 
    a doggy 
    that dog 
    loved 
    to shit 

    My brother 
    got 
    his first 
    pair 
    of LA 
    gears 

    He 
    thought 
    they were to 
    take 

    pictures 
    of instead 
    of wear 

    I started 
    hanging 
    out and 

    my jeans 
    got 
    tighter

    My weird 
    neighbors 
    set 

    their own 
    house 
    on 
    fire 

    Church 
    was 
    all day 
    every 
    day 

    and every 
    week 

    That's 
    where 
    i learned 
    how 
    to sing 

    Hearing 
    that 
    pastor 
    preach 

    Benediction 
    was all 
    we went 
    for 

    So 
    we 
    could run 
    home 
    and 

    play 
    connect 
    four 

    Mum 
    worked 
    late 
    and 
    we learnt 
    to cook 

    Rice 
    peas chicken 
    and 
    stew 
    pea soup 

    In 
    the room 
    watching 
    Kung- 

    Fu 
    films 

    And Cleopatra 
    Joans 

    Wishing 
    we were 
    Cosby 
    kids 

    Verse 6
    and the match 
    stick girls 

    1980 Year 
    that God 
    made 
    me 

    89 I started

    99 I 
    started 
    to 
    write 
    rhymes 

    Walk 
    with me 
    reminisce 
    my 
    life 

    So 
    then we moved 
    up

    1980 Year

    Verse 7

    89 I 
    started 
    to get 
    by 

    99 I 
    started 
    to write 
    rhymes 

    Walk 
    with me 
    reminisce 

    my life 

    Verse 8
    So then we moved 
    up 

    The man 
    downstairs 
    was 

    dead for 
    three 
    weeks 

    His own 
    cat 
    started 
    eating 
    him 

    The house 
    starts 
    to wreak 

    That's when 
    we moved 
    out 

    And 
    our house 
    was bigger

    We had 
    large 
    garage 

    and 
    the attic 
    was killer 

    We used 
    to pray 
    for three 

    hours 
    in 
    the 
    mornin' 

    Sitting 
    on 
    the school 
    bus 

    Believe 
    we was 
    yawning 

    All 
    our hair 
    was stuck 

    down 
    to 
    our foreheads 

    Jam 
    curls, splits, 
    dorags and pin 
    curls 
    yes 

    Sexy 
    boys 
    walking 
    round 
    showing 
    interest 

    In 
    what 
    I don't 
    know 
    'cause 

    we all 
    had 
    flat 
    chests 

    Don't 
    think 
    we never 
    mastered 
    the 

    kid 
    and play 
    steps 

    Doowop for days 
    in the boggle 
    yep 

    But this 
    is just 
    the 
    beginning 

    of 
    my 
    life 
    right, 

    Nine 
    kids 
    house 
    and one 
    life 
    time 

    Yo, 
    the beginning 
    of my 
    life 
    right 

    Nine 
    kids 
    house 
    in one 
    life 

    time

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
