When I was 27, I grew

Accumulated 10 times over

Is it for the moment and will

How did the bad girl feel when she

looked at them numbers?

The type of shit'll make me flip out

Get ill and fill ratchets with

a lil' somethin'

I practiced runnin' from fear,

guess I had some good luck

At 27 years old,
Em
Dm

my biggest fear was bein' judged

How they look at me reflect on myself,

my family, my city

What they say 'bout me reveal

If my reputation would miss me

What they see from me

Would trickle down

generations in time

What they hear from me

Would make 'em highlight

Within fourteen tracks,

carried out over wax

Searchin' for resolutions until
Em
Dm
Dm

somebody get back

Fear, what happens on

earth stays on earth

And I can't take these feelings with me

So hopefully they disperse

Within fourteen tracks,

carried out over wax

Wonderin' if I'm livin' through

fear or livin' through rap

So until we come back to

The children of Israel,

he's gonna punish us for our iniquities

so the Lord thy God chasten you
Cm

So just like you'll chasten your own son

He's gonna chasten you because

he loves you

So that's why we get chastised,

that's why we're in the position we're in

Until we come back to these laws, statutes

and commandments

And do what the Lord said, these curses

are gonna be upon us

We're gonna be at a lower state in this life

that we live here in today

In the United States of America

I love you, son, and I pray for you

God bless you, shalom

  • 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.
