    And this 
    is a message 
    to the people 

    If you 
    see or 
    hear goodness 
    from me 

    Then that 
    goodness 
    is 

    from The Creator 

    You should 
    be thankful 

    to The Creator 
    for 
    all of 
    that 

    'Cause 
    I'm not the 

    architect 
    of that

    If 
    you see 
    weakness 
    or 

    shortcoming 
    in 
    me 

    It's from 
    my own 
    weakness 

    or short
    coming 

    And I 
    ask The Creator 
    and 
    the people 
    to 

    forgive 
    me for 
    that 

    Thank you Brooklyn, 
    thank you world

    Verse 3
    Listen 

    I stepped 
    on 
    the 
    field 
    from no 

    league 
    just 
    home team 

    I jumped 
    out 
    the stands 
    and 

    I snatched 
    the rock 

    With 
    the 
    final 
    seconds 

    +one to land 
    on 
    the clock 

    Mos 
    post 
    up 
    to throw 
    up 
    the 

    tie- 
    breakin' 
    shot 

    I put 
    it through 
    the net 
    and let 

    the 
    world's 
    jaw 
    drop 

    Then fled 
    the 
    arena 
    be

    fore 
    they called 
    cops 

    Tell 
    the players 
    and 
    the coach 

    I wasn't 
    trying 
    to blow 
    spot 

    But 
    the way 
    they 
    was ballin' 

    made 
    it difficult 
    to watch 

    I 
    was taught 
    when 
    there's somethin' 

    you can 
    change 
    around 

    Keep 
    quiet, 

    you 
    got nothin' 
    to complain 
    about 

    You got 
    work 
    to 
    do, 

    I 
    don't know 
    if that 
    work 
    for you 

    But that's 
    how 
    Mos 
    work 
    it 
    through 

    And 
    my 
    work 
    is 
    personal, 

    I'm 
    a working 
    per
    son 

    I put 
    in 
    work, 
    I work 
    with 
    purpose 

    I get 
    it there, 
    on 
    the water, 

    air, 
    the surface 

    You feel 
    the impact? 
    Niggas 

    yeah 
    it's 
    work
    ing 

    Listen 
    God 
    did not 
    make 
    me 

    a fearful 
    person 

    The only 
    fear 
    I 
    have, 

    is 
    my failure 
    to 
    adhere 
    his path 

    I 
    would love 
    it just 
    to hear 
    this back 

    On 
    the 
    ghetto 
    streets 
    where 
    y'all 
    at 

    On 
    the 
    ave's where the 
    Jeep's go past 

    In 
    the coupes 
    where 
    the seats 
    go back 

    In 
    the parties 
    where 
    it be 
    so packed 

    And 
    the atmosphere 
    be 
    so black 

    And 
    them black 
    things 
    be 
    so 
    phat 

    If 
    I could 
    I would 
    be 
    so glad 

    But 
    if not 
    I won't 
    be 
    so mad 

    I'm still 
    being 
    a man, 

    still 
    feeding 
    my 
    fam' 

    And even 
    if 
    you don't 
    see 
    it my fam 

    I 
    believe 
    that I 
    am, 

    truly 
    gifted, 
    truly 
    blessed 

    I'm yours

    balanced, 
    with

    talents 

    Burn 
    the script, 

    then flip 
    it to 
    keep myself 
    challenged 

    And that's 
    the 
    mark 
    of 

    a true 
    champion 

    That's 
    whether 
    I'm 
    in 
    or outside 
    the 
    ring 

    No 
    fights, 
    no 
    title, 
    no 
    crown 
    or 
    reign 

    Feel 
    my 
    presence 
    even 
    when 

    I'm up 
    out 
    this 
    thing 

    Just 
    trust, 
    that's 
    what I'm 
    about 
    to be 

    But 
    un
    til 
    then 
    settle 
    in 
    and 
    rock 
    with 
    me

      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 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.
