Verse 1
Gm

The mad man Malik

makes MC's run for Milk of Magnesia

Maybe that'll ease ya

Master of this microphone

macking, master as in great
G

I'll have your brain going in circles as
Gm

my style tends to modulate
G

I'm making moves, never movies,

that's why y'all MCs lose me

Retrace, won't, so your
Gm

stubborn like groupies

While you playing hokey pokey,

there's no time to be dokey

Cause I come out to play every night

like Charles Oakley
F#m

Dissing around with wack rhyming
G

You lose your grip from chalk climbing

Let me take this time to say R.I.P.

to Phyllis Hyman
Em

Who never got the props that she
G

damn well deserved

But see me, you don't want to see me,

cause all MCs are getting served

The nerve, for you to even step to the Phifer

I'll bumrush your set and crush

your whole cypher

Reserve, a spot for me in hip

hop's hall of fame

Cause rapping ain't no game,

big up your head and maintain

Yeah, Queens forever in this piece

crushing any beef

Ain't nothing sweet,

the bakery's across the fucking street

Phife Dawg, swinging it back

and forth just like Aaliyah

Making moves on your heart

like that trick Tamia

No doubt about it, I love hip

hop to death

But yo Tip, bring in the chorus

'cause I'm losing my breath

Sucker MC in my path, hey main,

Just because my name is Phife, my man,

I'm never slipping

I got the type of flave to have

your ass straight bitching

For those who act cute,

see I got them on mute
F

Have you walking through your
G

projects in your birthday suit

Cause your style is off loot,

  • 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

    Rose the Black Cat

    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 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    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!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    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.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
