    Verse 1
    Started 
    off 
    in the 
    streets 

    We 
    would 
    take 
    collection 

    from 
    the 
    fiend
    s 

    People 
    dying 
    all 
    around 
    me 

    So 
    I 
    gave 
    you 
    my 
    testi
    mony 

    We 
    were 
    down 
    from 
    the 
    beginning 

    When 
    the 
    world 
    wasn't 
    listen
    ing 

    Now 
    that 
    I 
    got 
    your 
    attention 

    Let 
    us 
    end 
    with 
    the 
    bene
    diction 

    Verse 2
    We are 
    gathered 
    here 
    today 

    Paying 
    our 
    re
    spects 
    to 
    bein' 
    broke, 

    hope 
    he's 
    in 
    a 
    better 
    place 

    Cause 
    life 
    out 
    here 
    ain't 
    sweet, 
    oh 
    no 

    I 
    would 
    close 
    my 
    eyes 
    to 
    sleep 

    but 
    didn't 
    dream 
    no 
    more 

    So 
    I 
    had 
    to 
    make 
    a 
    way 
    for 
    my 
    home, 

    you 
    know 

    Now 
    I'm 
    in 
    a 
    place 
    where 
    I 
    ain't 

    gotta 
    scheme 
    no 
    more 

    The 
    good 
    life, 
    I'm done 
    with 
    the 
    hood 
    life 

    I 
    did 
    what 
    I 
    could 
    didn't 
    always 
    do 
    what 

    I 
    should 
    an
    d I 
    was 
    misun
    derstood 

    So 
    many 
    night
    s I 
    tried 

    To 
    hide 
    how 
    I 
    felt, 
    I 
    would 
    cry 
    inside 

    And 
    I 
    ran 
    through 
    the 
    streets 

    till 
    my 
    feet 
    got 
    tired 

    Cause 
    I ain't 
    wanna 
    have 
    my 

    shoes 
    on 
    them 
    power 
    lines 

    But 
    I 
    made 
    it, 
    and 
    it 
    made 
    me 

    I 
    know 
    I 
    did 
    wrong, 

    I 
    pray 
    to 
    God 
    he 
    forgave 
    me 

    Cause 
    I 
    made 
    it, 
    it 
    didn't 
    kill 
    me 

    So 
    it 
    made 
    me stronger
    , I 
    pray 
    to 
    God 
    that 
    you 
    feel 
    me, 

    that you 
    feel 
    me... 

    Started 
    off 
    in 
    the streets 

    We 
    would 
    take 
    collection 

    from 
    the fiend
    s 

    People 
    dyin' 
    all 
    around 
    me 

    So 
    Verse 3
    I 
    gave 
    you 
    my 
    testi
    mony 

    Verse 4
    We 
    were 
    down 
    from 
    the

    Verse 5
    When 
    the 
    world 
    wasn't

    Now 
    that 
    I 
    got 
    your 
    attention 

    Let 
    us 
    end 
    with 
    the 
    benediction 

    Our 
    Father who art 
    in 
    heaven 

    Verse 6
    I pray 
    you free 
    me from 
    my 

    demons 
    and 
    keep 
    me 
    level 

    I 
    know 
    you kept 
    my 
    out 
    of prison 

    where 
    I 
    was 
    headin' 

    Verse 7
    When I 
    heard 
    someone 
    killed 
    my brother, 

    one- 
    eighty- 
    seven 

    Verse 8
    I 
    hope 
    he 
    made 
    it 
    to 
    Your 
    presence, 

    for 
    me 
    he 
    was 
    a 
    blessin' 

    At 
    least 
    I know 
    he's 
    restin' 
    and 

    Verse 9
    he 
    ain't 
    out 
    here 
    stressin' 

    Tryna 
    get 
    to 
    the 
    good 
    life, 

    and 
    out 
    of 
    this 
    hood 
    life 

    I 
    pray 
    that 
    my 
    step- 
    pops 

    lay 
    off 
    that 
    crack 
    pipe 

    So 
    mama 
    could 
    sleep 
    at night, 

    I 
    know 
    it's 
    been 
    hard 
    on 
    her 

    I 
    was 
    ripping 
    through 
    the streets, 

    it 
    was 
    hard 
    for 
    her 

    Now 
    I'm 
    up 
    in 
    hotels 

    on the 
    ocean 
    shore 

    When 
    I 
    was 
    sleepin' 
    on 
    the 

    floor 
    at the 
    corner 
    store 

    But 
    I 
    made 
    it, 
    and 
    it 
    made 
    me 

    I 
    know 
    I 
    did 
    wrong, 

    I 
    pray 
    to 
    God 
    he 
    would 
    save 
    me 

    Cause 
    I 
    made 
    it, 
    it 
    didn't 
    kill 
    me 

    So 
    it 
    made 
    me stronger
    , 
    I pray 
    to 
    God 
    that 
    you 
    feel

    that 
    you 
    feel

      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 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.
