    Am
    Back in the days when
    Verse 1


    I was a teenager
    E
    Am

    Before I had status and before

    I had a pager
    Bbm

    You could find the Abstract

    listening to hip hop

    My pops used to say,

    it reminded him of be-bop
    Am

    I I said, "Well daddy don't

    you know that things go in cycles
    E
    Am

    The way that Bobby Brown is just

    ampin' like Michael"
    Bbm

    Its all expected, things are for the looking

    If you got the money,

    Quest is for the booking
    Am

    Come on everybody,

    let's get with the fly modes

    Still got room on the truck,
    Bbm

    load the back boom

    Listen to the rhymes,

    to get a mental picture
    F

    Of this black man, black woman venture
    Am

    Why do I say that? 'Cause

    I gotta speak the truth man

    Doing what we feel for the

    music is the proof and
    Bbm

    Planted on the ground,

    the act is so together

    Bona fide strong,
    Am

    you need leverage to sever

    The unit, yes, the unit,

    yes, the unit called the jazz is

    We deliver it each year on the street

    for the beat 'cause
    Bbm

    You can find it on the rack

    in your record store(store)

    If you get the record, then your thoughts are
    Am

    adored and appreciated

    'Cause we're ever so glad we made it

    We work hard, so we gotta thank God
    Bbm

    Dishing out the plastic,

    do the dance till you spastic
    Am

    If you diss, it gets drastic

    Listen to the rhymes,

    'cause its time to make gravy

    If it moves your booty,
    F

    then shake, shake it baby
    Bbm

    All the way to Africa a.K.a.

    The Motherland (uh)

    Stick out the left,

    then I'll ask for the other hand
    Am

    That's the right hand,

    Black Man (man)
    Bbm

    Only if you was noted as my man (man)

    If I get the credit, then I'll think I deserve it

    If you fake moves,

    don't fix your mouth to word it
    Am

    Get in the zone of positivity,

    not negativity

    'Cause we gotta strive for longevity
    Bbm

    If you botch up, what's

    in that (what?)
    Am

    A pair of Nikes, size ten-and-a-half (come on,

    on, come on)
    Verse 2

    We gotta make moves

    Never, ever, ever could we fake

    moves (come on, come on)
    Bbm

    We gotta make moves

    Never, ever, ever could we fake moves (come on,
    Am

    come on)

    We gotta make moves

    Never, ever, ever could we fake
    Bbm

    moves (come on, come on)

    We gotta make moves
    Am
    Bbm

    Never, ever,
    Am
    Bbm

    ever could we fake moves (come on,
    Am

    come on) You gotta be a winner all the time

    Can't fall prey to a hip hop crime
    Bbm

    With the dope raps and dope

    tracks for you for blocks

    From the fly girlies to the

    hardest of the rocks
    Am

    Musically, the Quest, is on the rise

    We on these Excursions so you

    must realize
    Bbm

    Hip hop continually, about the Zulu

    If you don't like it, get
    Am

    off the Zulu tip

    So what can you do in the

    times which exist?

    You can't fake moves on your

    brother or your sis
    Bbm

    But if your sis is a

    (bitch), brother is a jerk

    Leave 'em both alone and continue

    with your work
    Am

    Whatever it may be into

    this society

    Everything is fair,

    at least that how it seems to me
    F

    You must be honest and
    Bbm

    true to the next

    Don't be phony and expect

    one not to flex
    Am

    Especially if you rhyme,

    you have to live by the pen

    Your man is your man,

    then treat him like your friend
    Bbm

    All it is, is the code of the streets

    So listen to the knowledge being

    dropped over beats
    Am

    Beats that are hard,

    beats that are funky

    It could get you hooked like

    a crackhead junkie
    Bbm

    What you gotta do to is know that

    the Tribe's in this sphere

    The Abstract Poet,
    Am

    prominent like Shakespeare
    Verse 3
    Am

    We gotta make moves
    Bbm

    Never, ever, ever could we fake moves

    (come on, come on)
    Verse 4

    We gotta make moves

    Never, ever, ever could we fake

    moves (come on, come on)
    F
    Am
    We gotta
    Verse 5

    make moves

    Never, ever, ever could we fake moves (come on,
    Bbm

    come on) We gotta make moves

    Never, ever, ever could we fake

    moves (come on, come on)
    Am
    Time is running out on black
    Verse 6

    power advocates

    in the day (excursions, excursions)

    And white thighed supporters at night

    (excursions, excursions)
    Bbm

    Every time you see them, they're chas in' some

    white woman (excursions, excursions)

    With their tongue hangin' out

    (excursions, excursions)

    Time is running and passing,

    passing and running (excursions, excursions)

    Running and passing,

    passing and running (excursions, excursions)

    • 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

      Rose the Black Cat

      “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 🙂”

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      “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!!!”

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      “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.

      Caleb Schafli

      “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.”

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      “I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
