    Oh 
    yes, 

    it's 
    Christmas 
    in 
    the 
    ghetto, 

    Christmas 
    in 
    the 
    ghetto, 

    it's 
    Christmas 
    in 

    Merry 
    Christmas 
    to the 

    people 
    in 
    the ghetto, 

    your 
    fam
    ily's 
    the only 

    Santa 
    Claus 
    you ever 
    know 

    It 
    ain't no 
    chimneys 
    or 
    stockings 

    in 
    the projects, 

    and 
    if you 
    get a 
    gift 
    it 
    came 
    out 
    of pocket 

    So 
    be 
    thank
    ful 

    even 
    if you 
    get a 
    small 
    amount, 

    it ain't the 
    gift 
    it's 
    the thought 

    that 
    really 
    counts 

    You 
    know it's 
    true 

    that money 
    can't 
    buy you 
    happiness 

    So 
    count your 
    blessings 

    as 
    you listen 
    to me 
    rappin' 
    this 

    And 
    watch 
    your kids 

    as 
    they open 
    up 
    their presents 

    To 
    see their 
    faces 
    lightin' 
    up 
    like 
    heaven 

    hope you 
    got 
    all the 
    gifts 

    that you 
    asked 
    for 

    Just 
    give me 
    eggnog, 
    Hen
    nessy, 

    and some 
    Mendo 

    On 
    to 
    the hood 
    first 
    stop, 

    it's 
    Glennie's 
    house 

    And 
    get that 
    bomb 
    Christmas 

    dinner 
    good 
    lookin' 
    out 

    And 
    after 
    that 
    roam the 
    hood 

    till I'm 
    dead 
    broke 

    And 
    Merry 
    Christmas 
    everybody 

    as 
    I drink 
    and smoke 

    They 
    don't 
    have rights 

    If 
    could 
    say 
    so 

    Once 
    again 

    It's 
    Christ
    mas 
    in 
    the ghetto 

    Kids 
    are 
    hav
    ing 
    fun 

    The 
    be
    st way 
    they 
    know 
    how 

    But 
    Christ
    mas 
    in 
    the ghetto 

    Ain't 
    much 
    to 
    talk 
    about 

    It's Christmas 
    in 

    With no 
    toys 
    for tot
    s, 

    not for 
    the kids 
    and wats 

    We 
    had 
    to 
    play in 
    the streets 

    in 
    front of 
    the 
    dope 
    spots 

    And 
    Christmas 
    in 
    the 
    ghetto 

    was a 
    major 
    event 

    That 
    was the 
    only 
    time we 
    seen 

    what 
    momma 
    money 
    was spent 

    And 
    those 
    were the 
    days 

    a nigga 
    kinda 
    felt shame 

    The 
    only 
    thing we 
    af
    forded 

    was a 
    Monopoly 
    game 

    We 
    learned 
    to make the 
    be
    st 

    out of whatever 
    we had 

    But no 
    time 
    to bitch 
    and cry, 

    times 
    was already 
    bad 

    They 
    started 
    to get 
    worse 

    as a 
    nigga 
    grew 
    up 

    And 
    when I 
    think 
    about those 
    days, 

    shit was 
    fucked 
    up 

    See 
    won't get 
    off in

    to a 
    niggas 
    life 
    story 

    But 
    Christmas 
    in 
    the ghetto 

    wasn't 
    no peaches 
    and glory 

    Now 
    I'll 
    provide for 
    my 
    daughter 

    just 
    to see her 
    smile 

    It 
    makes me 
    feel good 

    cause 
    that's 
    my 
    child 

    And 
    it's 
    still 
    a gang 
    of 
    kids 

    less 
    fortunate 
    than 
    me 

    Cause 
    Christmas 
    in 
    the ghetto 

    is a 
    burning 
    tree 

    don't 
    have 
    words 

    If 
    could 
    say 
    something 

    Once 
    again 

    It's 
    Christ
    mas 
    in the 
    Ghetto 

    Kid
    s are 
    hav
    ing 
    fun 

    The 
    be
    st way 
    they 
    know 
    how 

    But 
    Christ
    mas 
    in 
    the Ghetto 

    Ain't 
    much 
    to 
    talk 
    about 

    It's Christmas 
    in 
    the Ghetto 

    December 
    25th, 
    woke up 
    with 
    a fifth 

    Taking 
    pictures 
    of my 
    kids 

    As they're 
    cracking 
    open 
    their gifts 

    On 
    a day to 
    give 
    and hope 
    to receive 

    Jehovah 
    wit
    ness 
    at my 
    door 

    Knowing 
    they don't 
    believe 

    We 
    already 
    know 
    that Santa's 

    ain't bringing 
    us noth
    ing 

    That 
    mommy 
    and daddy 

    do
    ing 
    all 
    the stocking 
    stuff
    ing 

    The 
    cookies 
    and 
    all 
    the decorations 

    Prepar
    ing 
    for the 
    Christ

    mas 
    celebration 

    Ain't 
    nothing 
    wrong 
    with seeing 

    a kiddo 
    child 
    smile 

    Opening 
    presents, 

    running 
    around 
    acting 
    wild 

    Thinking 
    back 
    when that 
    was me 

    Mama 
    worked 
    hard 

    and 
    looked 
    it out 
    for the 
    family 

    We 
    don't have 
    much, 

    if 
    could 
    say 
    something 

    Once 
    again, 

    it's 
    Christ
    mas 
    in 
    the ghetto 

    Kids 
    are 
    hav
    ing 
    fun, 

    the be
    st we 
    can 
    do 

    But 
    Christ
    mas in 
    the ghetto, 

    ain't 
    much 
    to

    about 

    It's Christmas 
    in 
    the ghetto

      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.
