    Verse 1
    As 
    far 
    as 
    days, 
    it's 
    a sunny 
    one 

    Hear 
    the 
    money 
    comes 

    If 
    it's 
    a fiend 
    I've 
    never 
    seen 

    Then 
    they're 
    bound 
    to 

    catch 
    a 
    funny 
    one 

    Hear 
    the 
    kitty 
    come- 
    come 

    wanting 
    me 
    to 
    run- 
    run 

    Since 
    I 
    think 
    he 
    5- 0 I 
    sold 

    him 
    a dum- 
    dum 

    I 
    know 
    one 
    day 
    somehow 
    I 

    gotta 
    stop 
    at 
    some 
    point 

    But 
    I'd 
    rather 
    clock 
    ya, 

    rob 
    ya 
    ass 
    at 
    gunpoint 

    Verse 2
    I 
    run 
    the streets 
    like 
    feet 
    on 
    the 
    concrete 

    We 
    roll 
    deep, 

    so 
    don't 
    sleep 
    on 
    my 
    peeps! 

    You 
    would think 
    that's 
    the 

    only 
    thing 
    to stop 
    me 

    But 
    this 
    Glock is 
    crazy 
    cocky 
    plus 

    I'm 
    dead 
    already 
    probably 

    This 
    is 
    what 
    niggas 
    in 
    the 
    hood 
    see 

    The way 
    the 
    bad 
    and 
    good 
    be 

    Bad 
    is 
    getting 
    paid 
    so 
    bad 
    they 
    would 
    be 

    Uh- 
    oh, uh- 
    oh, 

    here 
    comes 
    the 
    news 
    flash 
    from 
    LA 

    Four 
    crooked 
    cops 
    just 
    walked 
    away 

    Verse 3
    So 
    there's 
    been 
    rioting 
    all 
    day 

    The 
    only 
    thing 
    that 
    made 
    my 
    day 
    a 
    little 
    better 

    I 
    saw 
    red 
    and 
    blue 
    uniting 
    forever

    Crips 
    and 
    bloods 
    fighting 
    together

    Back 
    on 
    the 
    block 
    it's 

    the same 
    damn 
    strip 

    The 
    same 
    damn 
    clip, 

    the 
    same 
    damn 
    shit! 

    You 
    really 
    can't 
    ex
    pect 
    a 
    lot 

    When 
    the kid's 
    juven

    ile 
    and 
    stay 
    locked 

    And 
    his 
    pops 
    is 
    the 
    block! 

    Verse 4
    "Niggas 
    in 
    the 
    hood 
    ain't 
    changed" 

    (Aww shit! 
    Goddamn!) 

    "Only 
    the streets 
    tell 
    stories" 

    "Niggas 
    in 
    the 
    hood 
    ain't 
    changed" 

    (Aww shit! 
    Goddamn!) 

    "Only 
    the streets 
    tell 
    stories" 

    My 
    daddy

    corner, 
    a 
    gon

    He 
    was 
    long 
    gone 
    for 
    the border 

    So 
    I 
    grew up 
    doing

    alleyway 

    Verse 6
    And 
    when 
    we come,

    spot 

    And 
    everything'll 
    be 
    al

    s 

    It's

    honey's 
    night,

    be 
    beating 
    up 
    my 
    fist,

    Or 
    a spot

    Some 
    kids

    cartoons 
    Verse 8

    on 
    cable 

    To 
    new 
    clothes 
    with 
    labels 

    I 
    came 
    home 
    to 
    corners, 

    did 
    homework 
    when 
    able 

    I 
    clocked 
    it, 
    re- 
    rocked 
    it, 

    dipped 
    it 
    then 
    flipped 
    it 

    Re- 
    upped 
    it 
    then 
    cut 
    it, 

    held 
    and 
    hold 
    it, 
    then 
    sold 
    it 

    I'm 
    wit 
    it! 
    Didn't 
    hit 
    the 

    house 
    til 
    I 
    was 
    finished 

    When 
    it 
    comes 
    to 
    dough 
    niggas 

    are 
    in 
    it 
    to spend 
    it 

    Save 
    and 
    protect, 
    get 
    a 
    safe 
    and 
    a tec 

    Don't 
    be 
    brave, 
    get 
    a vest, 

    it 
    might 
    save 
    you 
    your chest 

    Verse 9
    And 
    if 
    cops 
    ever 
    come 
    to 
    weld 
    me 
    down 

    All 
    I say 
    is: 
    "Feet, 
    don't 
    fail 
    me 
    now!" 

    My 
    town 
    didn't 
    have 
    a 
    rec., 

    yup, 
    I 
    was 
    a 
    little 
    wreck 

    Didn't 
    have 
    a place 
    to 
    play 

    So 
    like 
    most 
    kids, 
    us 
    niggas 
    went 
    astray 

    A 
    daddy, 
    never 
    got 
    to 
    meet 
    mine 

    So 
    on 
    Father's 
    Day 
    I take 
    a rag 

    and 
    I shine 
    up 
    the street 
    sign 

    Verse 10
    Drop 
    me 
    on 
    the spot, 
    spot 
    me 
    when 
    I stop 

    Any 
    time 
    of 
    day, 
    if 
    you'd 
    ask 
    me 

    Have 
    to 
    tell 
    you 
    poppa 

    was 
    the 
    block 

    Money's 
    coming 
    rolling 
    hard, 

    clocking, 
    rolling 
    hard 

    Breaking 
    dawn on 
    the lawns 

    Watch, 
    I'm 
    flowing 
    through 

    the stolen 
    car 

    Every 
    job 
    I 
    get 
    dropped, 

    hope 
    I 
    hit 
    the lotto 
    so 
    I 
    can 
    stop 

    Peace 
    to 
    the 
    block
    , 
    my 
    pops 

    Verse 11
    "Niggas 
    in 
    the 
    hood 
    ain't 

    changed" 

    "Only 
    the streets 
    tell 
    stories" 

    "Niggas 
    in 
    the 
    hood 
    ain't 

    changed"

      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.
