  • Verse 1
    I was 
    driving home 
    on 
    a boulevard, 

    late one 
    night 

    When 
    I spotted 
    a cat 
    over in the corner, 

    bummin' 
    all 
    alone 

    Now 
    as I passed 
    him by, 

    heard him holler 
    out, 
    "Hey!" 

    slowed down 
    to see 

    what he said 

    He hollered, 
    "Mmmm... by 
    any chance 

    you goin' 
    my way?" 

    I said, "Why sure, 
    baby, 

    hop in & gimme 
    a cigarette." 

    Just 
    then 
    he reached down 
    in his pocket, 

    And 
    that was the moment 

    that I regret... 

    He hollered, 

    "Reach 
    for the sky!" 

    I said, "But, 

    I don't understand 
    you, sir!" 

    "Don't 
    gimme no 
    monkey business... 

    this is the stopper 
    in my 
    hand!" 

    Again, 
    he says, 

    "Uhhh... 
    lookie here," 

    "You see 
    this here I got 

    in my hand?" 

    "This is 
    a- a- 
    a thirty- 
    eight pistol, 

    built 
    on a forty- 
    five frame," 

    "Shoots 
    tombstone 
    bullets 

    & a ball- and- chain." 

    He said, 
    "Now, I- 
    I- I- I 
    ain't tryna shake 
    you up, 

    but" 

    "B- b- b- 
    but, I 
    just want you to 

    know," 

    "If the cops 
    start to 
    crowd me in," 

    "Then, 
    you 
    gonna be the first 
    to go." 

    "Now 
    lookie here... 
    don't 

    even look back!" 

    "Just drive 
    ooonnn just like 

    nuthin' 
    happened!" 

    That's 
    what he said, 

    that's what he told 
    me, 

    Said, "Don't even 
    look back or 

    nuthin'!" 

    He said, 
    "Uhhh..." 
    now 
    when I "get to that 
    redlight, 


    " he wanted 
    me to "go to 
    my left, 

    & then jump 
    back to 
    my right," 

    He said, "Now, 

    I- I- I 
    want you to drive 
    up in that 
    alley," 

    "N- n- not 
    that alley! That 

    alley over there!" 

    "And pull 
    up behind 
    that liquor 

    store," 

    "And keep 
    a sharp 
    lookout 
    at all 

    times, 
    while 
    I sneak 
    in the back 
    door." 

    That's 
    what he told 
    me! 

    He said, "Uhhhh... 
    keep 
    your foot 
    on that gas, 

    & always be 
    on guard," 

    "'Cause when I come 
    runnin' outta there 

    with all that money," 

    He wanted me to 
    "mash down 

    on it real 
    hard" 

    He 
    said, 
    "Now, 
    uhhh... 

    don't lemme 
    come outta 
    there & find 

    me 
    a double- 
    cross," 

    "Because 
    I'll murder 

    when the heat's 
    on." 

    "Reach 
    for the sky!" 

    I said, 
    "But, I don't 

    understand 
    you, sir!" 

    "Don't 
    try no 
    monkey business... 
    I got a stopper 
    in 

    my 
    hand!" 




    Woooo- weee! 
    I was just 
    sittin' there, just, 

    tremblin'! 

    Just 
    then, a 
    spotlight 

    hit me dead 
    in the face 

    And this 
    great, big, 

    Chicago 
    cop behind 
    me said, 
    "Uhhh. 

    .move 
    over a lil' bit, 

    baby... 
    we gonna 
    take yo' place." 

    Just 
    then, this guy 
    come 
    runnin' out the 

    liquor 
    store 
    with all 
    of that money in 
    his hand, 


    He said, "Oh, 
    there you 
    are!" 

    He 
    made a mistake 
    in the dark 
    & leaped 

    in the police 
    car. 

    They put the 
    handcuffs 
    on him, 

    I said, 
    "Child, 

    your 
    crime might've 
    outgrew 
    him!" 

    Then they 
    said, "Uhhh...", 

    when they drove 
    him away, 

    "We gonna 
    put you far 
    back in jail 
    this 

    time, 
    they gonna 
    have to pump 

    air into 
    him!" 

    "Reach 
    for the sky!" 

    I said, 
    "But, I don't 
    understand!" 

    "Don't 
    gimme no 
    monkey business... 

    this is 
    a stopper 
    in my 
    hand!"

      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

      "

      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.
