    Roots! 


    Praise 
    for the 
    days 
    when 

    couldn't 
    get 
    paid 

    In the 
    fix 
    on 
    the 
    mix 
    in the 

    damn 
    projects 

    Cracks 
    for the 
    blacks 
    but I 

    could
    n't 
    sell 
    that 

    Even 
    though 
    blacks 
    couldn't 

    get 
    jobs 
    and 
    shit 

    Hit 
    after 
    hit 
    from the 
    Sugarhill Gang 

    Hear a 
    Pow 
    Wow, 
    hear 
    a Big 
    Bank 
    Hank 

    It was 
    strange, 

    I was 
    broke 
    but I 
    still 
    got the 
    re
    cord 

    Even 
    though 
    I was 
    poor 
    and 

    about 
    butt 
    na
    ked 

    Rats 
    in my 
    front 
    room, 

    roaches 
    in the 
    back 

    Junkies 
    in the 
    alley 
    running 

    styles 
    for the 
    crack 

    It was 
    ill 
    on the 
    real, 

    I be 
    still 
    bugging 
    off 
    it 

    In the 
    ways 
    I will 
    walk 

    it so today 
    I can 
    talk 
    it 

    It's a 
    shame 
    how the 
    games 

    in the 
    ghetto 
    get played 

    On 
    the cracks 
    they 
    paid 

    for the 
    tricks 
    they 
    laid 

    I'm 
    afraid 
    for the 
    youth 
    in this 

    time we're 
    living 
    in 

    Just 
    about 
    13 on the 
    scene 

    scram
    bling 

    Gambling 
    small- 
    time, 

    apo
    logize 
    nice 

    I'm about 
    to roll 
    10 7's for the 

    crap 
    I rolled 
    twice 

    Rough 
    business, 

    it's 
    rich 
    mon 
    time 

    When you 
    ain't 
    got the 
    loot, 

    you resort 
    to the 
    crime 

    From the 
    cess 
    house, the 
    youth 
    house, the 

    jail 
    house, the 
    Cult 
    house 

    Where 
    I per
    fected 
    these 

    skills 
    I be 
    doggin 

    Love 
    to teach the 
    facts 
    but the 

    brothers 
    in the 
    back 

    Can't 
    see 
    what I'm 
    saying 

    cause the 
    blunt 
    smoke is 
    foggin 

    Still 
    I pro
    ceed 
    with de

    grees 
    of the 
    wisdom 

    Cause 
    this 
    shit's thick
    , it 
    kicks 

    and I 
    know 
    it 

    Lickle do you 
    know 
    there's 
    God 
    and 
    so 

    Born 
    just 
    like 
    Christ 
    in 
    a damn 
    ghetto

      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.

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

      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 🙂

      "

      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.
