    • Verse 1
    I 
    came 
    from 
    nothing 
    but 
    not 

    nothing 
    like 
    nothing 

    Nothing, 
    like 
    nobody 
    thought 

    I 
    was 
    something 

    Nothing, 
    like 
    called 
    every 
    name 
    in 
    the 
    book 

    But 
    for 
    every 
    second 
    guess, 

    I never 
    gave 
    a second 
    look, 
    look 

    I 
    tell 
    myself, 
    Verse 2

    "Don't 
    let 
    it 
    get 
    to 
    me" 

    'Cause 
    if 
    the 
    best 
    they've 
    got, 

    it's 
    not 
    im
    pressing 
    me 

    Then 
    there's 
    no 
    reason 
    they 

    should 
    get 
    the 
    best 
    of 
    me 

    While 
    they 
    were 
    aiming 
    at 
    my 
    words, 

    they 
    missed 
    the rest 
    of 
    me, 
    see 

    So 
    how 
    Verse 3
    can 
    I 
    stop 
    all 
    these 

    Critics 
    from 
    their 
    talking? 

    The more 
    I 
    do, 

    the 
    more 
    they 
    say 

    But 
    there's 
    no 
    way 
    I'm 
    stopping 

    So 
    they 
    just 
    keep 
    on 
    talk
    ing 

    And 
    who 
    do 
    you 
    think 
    I 
    think 
    I 
    am? 

    Verse 4

    I 
    got 
    the 
    feeling 
    that 

    there's 
    more 
    like 
    me 

    Born 
    in 
    Babylon, 

    but 
    you 
    just 
    got 
    to 
    be 
    free 

    Shackles 
    on 
    your feet 
    that 

    you 
    and 
    me 
    can't 
    see 

    But 
    you 
    can 
    feel 
    'em 
    and 
    they're 
    heavy, 

    so 
    you 
    need 
    that 
    key 

    And 
    so 
    you're 
    Verse 5
    looking 
    at 
    your 
    hands, 

    saying 

    "Man, 
    if 
    I 
    ditch 
    the 
    system, 

    these 
    could 
    be 
    mine" 

    But 
    then 
    your 
    hear 
    a 
    voice 

    coming 
    from 
    behind 

    "Don't 
    even 
    think 
    about 

    stepping 
    out of 
    line!" 

    So 
    how 
    Verse 6
    can 
    I 
    stop 
    all 
    these 

    Critics 
    from 
    their 
    talk
    ing? 

    The 
    more 
    I 
    do, 
    the 
    more 
    they 
    say 

    Yeah, 
    but 
    there's 
    no 

    way 
    I'm 
    stopping 

    So 
    they 
    just 
    keep 
    on 
    talk
    ing 

    And 
    who 
    do 
    you 
    think 
    I 
    think 
    I 
    am? 

    Interlude 1
    Who 
    do you 
    think 
    I 
    am? 






    My 
    friends 
    Verse 7
    are deep 
    and they're 

    all 
    I've 
    got 

    They stand 
    up 
    behind 
    me 
    if 

    you like 
    it or 
    not 

    And I'm 
    telling 
    you 
    that 
    the 
    fire's 
    hot 

    Can 
    you 
    see 
    that 
    smoke, 

    and did 
    you 
    hear 
    that 
    shot? 

    'Cause 
    it's 
    a 
    Verse 8
    war 
    and 
    in the 
    middle 
    I 
    am 

    So 
    judge 
    me 
    now 
    with 

    your 
    pen 
    in 
    hand 

    'Cause 
    I'm 
    too 
    busy 
    to 

    judge 
    another 
    man 

    I'm tryna 
    write 
    the 
    blueprint 
    for 
    all 

    the 
    world 
    to 
    understand, 
    and 

    How 
    Verse 9
    can 
    I 
    stop 
    all 
    these 

    Critics 
    from 
    their 
    talk
    ing? 

    The 
    more 
    I 
    do, 
    the 
    more 
    they 
    say 

    The 
    more 
    they 
    say 

    But 
    there's 
    no 
    way 
    I'm 
    stopping 

    So 
    they 
    just 
    keep 
    on 
    talk
    ing 

    Who 
    do 
    you 
    think 
    I 
    think 
    I 
    am? 

    Who 
    do you 
    think 
    I 
    am? 

    Verse 10
    How 
    can 
    I 
    stop 
    all 
    these 

    Critics 
    from 
    your 
    talking? 

    The more 
    I 
    do, 

    the more 
    they 
    say 

    They 
    won't 
    stop 
    talk, 

    won't 
    stop 
    talk 

    Verse 11
    And 
    I 
    regret 
    me 
    giving 
    you 

    any 
    little 
    voice 
    at 
    all 

    But sav
    ing 
    this 
    world 
    just 

    comes 
    with a cost 

    And 
    maybe 
    they 
    were 
    right 
    from the 
    start 

    Maybe 
    I 
    should 
    Verse 12
    not 
    be 
    myself 

    'Cause 
    I'm 
    just 
    giving 

    these 
    critics 
    help 

    And 
    it 
    makes 
    me 
    twist 
    my 
    stomach 
    in 
    half 

    That 
    my 
    pen 
    and 
    his 
    pen 
    are 

    put 
    into 
    the same 
    breath 

    If 
    I never 
    tried 
    to 
    Verse 13
    do 
    this 
    at 
    all 

    Then 
    I 
    think 
    he'd 
    be 
    out 
    of a job 

    And 
    maybe 
    I 
    just 
    should've 

    stayed 
    in 
    bed 

    Stay 
    out 
    of 
    the 
    booth 
    and put 
    all 

    these 
    guitars 
    in 
    the 
    closet 

    Maybe 
    I 
    should 
    Verse 14
    go 
    back 
    to school 

    But 
    any 
    more 
    education 
    just 

    makes 
    me 
    feel 
    like 
    a fool 

    So 
    I 
    guess 
    I 
    gotta 
    let 
    critics 
    talk 

    'Cause 
    I 
    won't 
    stop

      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.

      "

      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.
