    Back 
    in the 
    days 
    when 
    Verse 1

    I was 
    a teenager 

    Be
    fore 
    I had 
    status 
    and before 

    I had 
    a pager 

    You could 
    find 
    the Abstract 

    listening 
    to 
    hip 
    hop 

    My 
    pops 
    used 
    to say, 

    it reminded 
    him 
    of be-bop 

    said, "Well 
    daddy 
    don't 

    you know that 
    things 
    go in 
    cycles 

    The 
    way that 
    Bobby 
    Brown 
    is just 

    ampin' like 
    Michael" 

    Its 
    all expected, 
    things 
    are for the 
    looking 

    If 
    you got the 
    money, 

    Quest 
    is for 
    the booking 

    Come 
    on everybody, 

    let's 
    get 
    with the 
    fly 
    modes 

    Still 
    got 
    room 
    on the 
    truck, 

    load 
    the 
    back 
    boom 

    Listen 
    to the 
    rhymes, 

    to 
    get 
    a mental 
    picture 

    Of this 
    black 
    man, 
    black 
    woman 
    venture 

    Why 
    do 
    I say that? 
    'Cause 

    I gotta 
    speak the 
    truth 
    man 

    Doing 
    what we 
    feel 
    for the 

    music 
    is the 
    proof 
    and 

    Planted 
    on the 
    ground, 

    the act 
    is so together 

    Bona 
    fide 
    strong, 

    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 

    You can 
    find 
    it on 
    the rack 

    in your 
    record 
    store(store) 

    If 
    you get the 
    record, 
    then your 
    thoughts 
    are 

    adored 
    and ap
    preciated 

    'Cause we're 
    ever 
    so 
    glad 
    we made 
    it 

    We 
    work 
    hard, 
    so we 
    gotta 
    thank 
    God 

    Dishing 
    out the 
    plastic, 

    do the 
    dance 
    till you 
    spastic 

    If 
    you diss, 
    it gets 
    drastic 

    Listen 
    to the 
    rhymes, 

    'cause 
    its time 
    to make 
    gravy 

    If 
    it moves 
    your booty, 

    then shake, 
    shake 
    it 
    baby 

    All 
    the way to 
    Africa 
    a.K.a. 

    The Motherland 
    (uh) 

    Stick 
    out the 
    left, 

    then 
    I'll ask 
    for 
    the other 
    hand 

    That's 
    the right 
    hand, 

    Black 
    Man 
    (man) 

    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 

    Get 
    in the 
    zone 
    of positivity, 

    not 
    negativity 

    'Cause 
    we gotta 
    strive 
    for longevity 

    If 
    you botch 
    up, what's 

    in 
    that 
    (what?) 

    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) 

    We 
    gotta 
    make 
    moves 

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

    come 
    on) 

    We gotta 
    make 
    moves 

    Never, 
    ever, 
    ever 
    could 
    we fake 

    moves 
    (come on, 
    come 
    on) 

    We 
    gotta 
    make 
    moves 

    Never, 
    ever, 

    ever 
    could 
    we 
    fake 
    moves 
    (come on, 

    come 
    on) You 
    gotta 
    be 
    a winner 
    all 
    the time 

    Can't 
    fall 
    prey 
    to 
    a hip 
    hop 
    crime 

    With 
    the dope 
    raps 
    and dope 

    tracks 
    for you 
    for blocks 

    From the 
    fly 
    girlies 
    to the 

    hardest 
    of 
    the rocks 

    Musically, 
    the 
    Quest, 
    is 
    on 
    the rise 

    We 
    on these 
    Excursions 
    so you 

    must 
    realize 

    Hip hop continu
    ally, 
    about 
    the Zulu 

    If 
    you don't 
    like 
    it, get 

    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 

    But if 
    your 
    sis 
    is 

    (bitch), brother 
    is 
    a jerk 

    Leave 
    'em both 
    alone 
    and continue 

    with 
    your work 

    Whatever 
    it may 
    be 
    into 

    this 
    society 

    Everything 
    is 
    fair, 

    at least 
    that how 
    it seems 
    to me 

    You 
    must 
    be 
    honest 
    and 

    true 
    to the 
    next 

    Don't 
    be 
    phony 
    and expect 

    one not 
    to flex 

    Especially 
    if 
    you 
    rhyme, 

    you have 
    to live 
    by the 
    pen 

    Your man 
    is your 
    man, 

    then 
    treat 
    him like 
    your friend 

    All 
    it 
    is, 
    is the 
    code 
    of the 
    streets 

    So 
    listen 
    to the 
    knowledge 
    being 

    dropped 
    over 
    beats 

    Beats 
    that 
    are 
    hard, 

    beats 
    that 
    are funky 

    It could 
    get 
    you hooked 
    like 

    crackhead junkie 

    What 
    you gotta 
    do to 
    is know that

      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.
