We sell crack to our own,

Promised never to cry
Held it all inside
Reality was too much to take so I
Bm
Kept my mind fly
C
Slimmed for most of mine
Am
Dm
Soon as I closed my eyes
Am
Then I woke up behind

Am
Nigga come on,
even Jesus was stoned before receiving the throne
I said to rest in peace to Nina Simone
Back in the days we was used to doing the shit
Verse 10
Am
I can't call
it all in the streets
We was hustling fiends that asked for it
I guess I was used to
just standing on corners
Bm
Waiting for paper bags
Am
with bundles of crack
C
Hoping the week was good
Am
so I could get money back
To get by, just to get by, just to get by,
Dm
just to get by
Am
When I was stressed I possessed
a side of my strength
That made me angry and bleed
With the frustration having me
smoking Newports and weed
To get by, just to get by, just
to get by, just to get by
Those be the times when I try to rely
Bm
On my niggas and street motherfuckers
Am
And reach out to wife and then I
place a call on my mother
To get by, just to get by,
just to get by, just to get by
(Hey yo mom pick up the phone,
I g- I gotta to talk to you ma)
If you was five percent instead of
Bm
acting stupid and guessing
You had to go and study
Am
your lessons
And know your math in the building

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.”
