    Mummy I saw one day (one day)

    Since outside the palace

    Eyes sicker than AIDS

    Dig it, miss,
    C#

    my love is credited in cupid account
    D

    And if you need that extra help,

    I got the extra amount
    C#

    Gigglin, figurin' I had jokes

    for her humor
    D

    Then she broke out with the words

    About knowin all the rumors

    "See, all you niggas rappin
    C#

    be like pedigree dogs
    D

    Thinkin' you can have me leashed

    Around your microphone cord"

    Somethin 'bout her lit me up like July
    Ebdim

    And with them onions
    D

    in the pants

    I couldn't help but cry

    Seemed lost in the essence

    But I had to find my way to take

    Action for the digits just

    to set up a date

    Thought my shinin' was on

    I had the skirts in the bag

    Until i took a bit of time

    To peep the price on the tag

    She said "I'm that salt and pepa

    D

    was at some outside

    jam one Saturday night

    When this pretty ass girl got

    locked in my sight

    She was a ghetto philosopher

    Yeah you know the type
    Ebdim

    Thinkin' Mary J. and Sade
    D

    understood her strife
    B

    Caught me lookin',
    D

    "Yo what's cookin?"
    Ebdim

    "Nothin' from around here
    D

    So don't approach or hope

    To be the man of the year"

    I said listen deer or rabbit or
    Ebdim

    whatever the hell you be

    I'm not the one to embarrass
    D

    But the one to emcee

    I traveled the world quarters
    Ebdim

    on my relationships

    Used and abused by hoes
    D

    So my royalty stubs

    But above all

    I brought my daughter into this earth

    So I understand the need

    Of women feeling of worth

    She glanced deep in my eyes

    And said "oh shit, you're ill
    Ebdim

    I like the way your mind
    D

    Moves around at will
    B
    D

    Still, let me apologize

    for soundin' so sassy
    Ebdim

    But niggas act as if my ass
    D

    Has a sign that says harass me"
    C#

    Her name was Gail from the union of Dale
    D

    I made her remove the shades

    So her eyes could tell me the plan
    G

    Yo where's your man?
    C#

    "Oh that nigga's past tense
    D

    Painted bruises on my face

    Haven't seen him ever since"

    Gave a pinch to my bottom
    C#

    And started rubbing my back
    D

    She said "I bet your ass is darker

    Than a Mobb Deep track"
    C#
    D

    Only one way to know it
    C#

    And I was down to show it
    D

    So we jetted back to

    my crib to set it

    She made it known

    "I've owned thoughts of you
    Ebdim

    Since that song 'meeny- meeny'


    Can't believe you're about
    D

    To be all up in between me"

    Man, the flag was lowered

    So my wood was raised
    Ebdim

    Followed a shielding of my building
    D

    To protect me from the blaze
    B
    D

    This granted access to

    Southern parts of her borders
    Ebdim

    Did you have her comin'?
    D

    Like the new world order

    I caught her with the right combination

    A good combination

    • 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.
