    How 
    could 
    I have 
    learned this? 

    Scrambling 
    eggs 
    on 
    a fire 
    furnace 

    My mind 
    interprets 
    poverty 

    as 
    a road 
    to depression 

    Go 
    in 
    my head, 
    it's like 
    a giant 
    circus 

    See 
    me fight 
    tigers 
    and walk 
    in tight 
    wires 

    While 
    everyone 
    thinking 

    my 
    life 
    is perfect 

    Unable 
    to pay 
    the bills, 

    pops 
    made 
    us feel 
    good 

    Keeping 
    us hanging 
    on 

    the thread 
    of hope 

    Thinking 
    we 
    on the 
    verge of 

    a major 
    deal 

    Making 
    millions 
    of 
    dollars 

    All 
    our 
    worries will 
    be over 

    But 
    for now 
    the 
    weight of the 

    world is 
    on our 
    shoulders 

    This 
    one 
    meal gon' 
    have 
    to hold 

    us over 
    till the 
    next 
    day 

    King 

    Babu 
    with album 
    dreams 

    Mom 

    Duke 
    still got 
    six 
    mouths 
    to feed 

    Workin' 
    two and 
    three jobs 

    Cause 
    pops 
    don't know 
    how 
    to read 

    So 
    he 
    goes 
    runnin' 
    the 
    streets 

    Hustlin' 
    peeps 

    Gettin' 
    money 
    at 
    least 

    So 
    we 
    can have something 
    to 
    eat 

    Why 
    can't 
    we ever 
    have 
    stuff 

    Like 
    the white 
    kids 

    I've 
    had enough 

    I'm 
    sick 
    of livin' 
    like 
    this 

    Keep 
    your head 
    up, 
    brother 

    No 
    matter 
    what 
    the 
    weather, 

    you can 
    bet 
    your bottom 
    dollar 

    Trouble 
    won't 
    last 
    forever, 

    keep 
    your 
    head up 
    sister 

    Come 
    on 
    and get 
    it 
    together, 

    you can 
    bet 
    your bottom 
    dollar 

    Trouble 
    won't 
    last 
    forever 

    Some 
    dude 
    in a truck 
    just 
    came and 

    turned off 
    the water 
    valve 

    And left 
    a notice 
    saying 
    we 
    owe an 
    outstanding 

    balance 
    of 
    a thousand 
    dollars 

    Don't 
    worry mama, 

    we can survive 
    without 
    it 

    At 
    least 
    we on section 
    and 
    don't have 

    to live 
    in public 
    housing 

    It's 
    like 
    poverty's 
    kicking 
    us 
    and a 

    pup will 
    start us 
    sneaking around 

    Going 
    to gas 
    stations, 

    filling 
    our garbage 
    cans 
    up 
    with water 
    to drink 

    And 
    cook 
    with, 

    and wash 
    our bodies 
    so 
    it don't stink 

    But 
    it didn't 
    work, 

    life's 
    pushing 
    my limits 

    Why 
    was 
    I chosen 
    to go 

    through this 
    ghetto 
    living? 

    feel 
    like I'm 
    in a race 
    and 
    I'll never 

    reach 
    the yellow 
    ribbon 

    Or 
    red 
    or blue, 
    whatever color 
    it 
    is 

    You 
    don't understand 
    the struggle 

    of being 
    one 
    of six kids 

    In 
    a family 
    with 
    no money 
    at 
    all 

    Yeah, 
    I had 
    a job, 
    but of 
    course 

    I'ma 
    help 
    pay bills 

    Most 
    of it 
    went to my 
    mom, 

    Lord, 
    what up? 

    Is 
    you mad 
    at me, 

    or are 
    you putting 
    me 
    through this? 

    All because 
    you 
    got a 
    plan 
    for me, 
    huh? 

    Keep 
    your head 
    up, brother 

    No 
    matter 
    what 
    the 
    weather 

    You 
    can 
    bet 
    your bottom 
    dollar 

    Trouble 
    won't 
    last 
    forever 

    Keep 
    your head 
    up, 
    sister 

    told 

    God, 
    said 
    I hate 
    this position, 

    I'm through 
    with this 
    life 

    And 
    he 
    was like 
    my grace 

    is sufficient 
    for 
    you 

    He 
    spoke 
    to me 
    and made 
    me realize 

    That 
    in this 
    life the 
    only 
    element 
    I'll 
    ever 

    need 
    is 

    God 

    To me 
    it's odd 
    how 
    he comforts 
    me, 

    he keeps 

    me company 
    feel 
    I'm sitting 

    in 
    the lap 
    of luxury 
    to 

    some 
    degree 

    He 
    said 
    if I 
    give up 
    my life 
    I get 
    a fresh 

    If 
    delight myself 
    in 

    Him, 
    I get the 
    desires 
    of 
    my heart 

    Part 
    of 
    me looks 
    at poverty 
    and 
    just 
    laughs 

    The 
    other 
    half 
    looks 
    at it 
    and sees 

    a good 
    weapon 
    to 
    fight pride 

    It 
    keeps 
    you humble 
    and teaches 

    you 
    lessons 
    of life 

    This 
    is a 
    revelation 
    get 

    as 
    I reflect 
    on 
    my life 

    So 
    take 
    a second 
    to 

    write this 
    rhyme 

    Encouraging 
    'all to 
    embrace 
    your trouble 

    get praise 
    in my 
    struggle 
    because 

    it 
    leads to 
    perseverance 

    It 
    builds 
    my character, 

    giving me 
    hope 
    in my spirit 

    Study 
    these 
    lyrics 

    You 
    gotta 
    keep your 
    head 
    up, yo 

    We're 
    not promised 
    an 

    easy walk 
    in 
    this life 

    But 
    we 
    are promised 

    Trouble 
    won't 
    last 
    forever 

    Just 
    like 
    it 
    never rains 
    forever 

    And 
    the 
    sun always 
    comes 
    out 

    You 
    what mean? 

    You 
    can bet 
    and 
    believe 
    in 
    the promise 

    That 
    trouble 
    will never 
    last 
    forever, 
    yo

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
