    • Verse 1
    '81 
    was the year 
    shit 
    hit 

    the fan 
    in 
    a major 
    way 

    A sad 
    day 
    for 
    aspiring 
    artists 

    Almost 
    20 years 
    after 
    the 
    fact 

    I'm still 
    on my 
    hustle 

    Dig
    gin' graves 
    for 

    an aspiring 
    artists 

    Pushing 
    daises 
    up 

    And never 
    compromise 
    the arts 

    to 
    make 
    a crowd 
    clap 

    Shit 
    on since 
    the first 
    show 

    But 
    we turned 
    feces 
    to fertil
    izer 

    So 
    when 
    you 
    diss 
    it's just 
    food 

    for 
    the 
    flowers 
    to 
    grow 

    Sold 
    15 plus 
    out 
    of 

    backpacks, no 
    trunk
    s 

    Too 
    young 
    to drive 

    Put 
    live 
    hip 
    hop 
    in 
    the ears 
    of 

    up
    state 
    kids 

    That thought 
    rap 
    was 
    past 
    tense, 

    hence 
    the last 
    name 

    Got 
    name 
    for playing 
    base
    ments 
    and 
    such 

    and making 
    songs 
    that 
    our friends 
    loved 

    And when 
    the fish 
    bowl 
    got 
    too 

    small 
    to 
    hold 
    the goldfish 

    We filled 
    our gills 
    with water 
    and 

    ripped 
    that mother 
    fucker like 

    Verse 2
    So take 
    a 
    step 
    back 

    And 
    a breath 
    in 

    Let 
    it out 
    now 

    Put 
    your chin 
    up 

    You 
    can 
    do 
    it tiger 

    You 
    a man 
    now 

    And in your 
    dream 
    it's time 
    to do 

    the best 
    you can 
    now 

    Verse 3
    We break 
    ourselves 
    down 

    And build 
    ourselves 
    up 

    in 
    disappointment 

    How 
    fragile 
    we are 

    So 
    fragile 
    we are, 
    we just 
    don't show 
    it 

    We'll 
    shake 
    up 
    this 
    town 

    And 
    shoot 
    down 
    the 
    stars 
    for 
    our 
    enjoyment 

    So 
    sexy 
    we are 

    So

    we are, 

    Interlude 1
    we 
    just 
    don't 
    know 
    it 



    Verse 4
    This 
    is what 
    you wanted 
    right? 

    How many 
    nights 
    were spent 

    pouring 
    out 
    your guts 
    dummy? 

    How many 
    punishments 
    endured 

    for fucking 
    up 
    in school? 

    How many 
    teachers 
    proved 

    wrong 
    by writing 
    songs 
    in
    stead? 

    (My point 
    exactly) 

    But you knew 
    you had 
    a spark, 

    did 
    you? 

    Something 
    producin' 
    to 
    the 
    dreams 

    your pop's 
    dreams 
    lent 
    you 

    Stay 
    focused 
    when nothing 

    seemed 
    to make 
    sense 

    Stealing 
    verses 
    with 

    that Cassius 
    Clay 
    confidence 

    Sometimes 
    you stubborn 
    as 
    shit, 

    that's the 
    McCoy in 
    you 

    You learn 
    to be 
    a man

    in 
    you

      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 🙂

      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.
