N/A
Verse 1
Am

When it started we was down by,

church fallacy as time went by

We took on the appearance of being fit,

but in reality we're not

We're still trapped in the shallow

mentality of gospel rap
G

These are the secrets of life,
Am

to some reveal remain
G

Hidden so that all understand,
Am

the truth concealed
G

So we journey dropping theories of

Christ, grammatically
Am
G

To awaken those who sleep,

through lyrical caffeination
Am
G

Bonafide creations bore fruit,
C
Am

through verbal knowledge
G

As the apparatus of seeds
Am

on good soil had fallen

But callings of yes,
G
Am

y 'all into the beat started to fade

Ascending, approaching death,
G
Am

as the roots reached the pavement

Disciples of
G

Christ's teachings took surface,

blooming in seasons
Am

But autumn sparked suffocation,
G
Am

influenced by niggas weeded
C

Duplicated illustrations,
G

took form as gospel dangers
C
Am
G

Ex ploited and victimized by

industry files of waging
Am
C
G

Anxiously I see emcees bear
Am

fruit to be collected

Took root, underground,
G
Am

as rats funneled through tunnels
G
Am

Direction, emerging surface,
G

submerged within the harvest
Am
G

Manifested by seeds of

another that was infested
Am
C
G

Unlike the rest, through the rain
Am

and cold we stood the test

First ten and twenty,
G

then a hundred fold less
Am
G
C
G

In this, well pleased, so on the

Sabbath they will rest
C
Am
G

Six days, five seeds,

prophecy is manifest
Am
G
Am

Motivated by what's being illustrated
G
Am

By those who talk loud,
G

thereby bringing distortion
Am
G

To both my optical and audio senses
Am

Which are responsible

for the mirage of skill
G
Am

You still tryin' to keep real,
C

so I'm here to connect
G
Am

You laid or changed the

course of these events

To guide you toward the demise
G
Am

of your pretense

Therefore my strategic positioning
G
Am

for this offensive attack

Is fueled by your burning
Em
Am

desire for being whack

So how you react to this po
G
Am
G

tentially volatile situation
Em

Will conduct the symphony
D
Dm

of sympathy you attract
C
D
Am

The sky's peeled back,
G
Am

I'll write down fact on this rich track

Static, air, pan, clap,

Until now, it's been a long time coming
Em

Now the sludge resides at the top like
Dm

Mr.
D

Drum
Am
G

And evident to the inner eye,

no longer discreet
Em
Am
G

True motives get unclothed as words
Am

become concrete and tangible

Though the brothers begin acting stranger

Anti -ambassadors of one
Em

debuted in a major
Am

Like orphans to the industry,
G
Am

nobody wants me
G

Passed around by foster labels won
Am

dering if they plan to dump me
C
G

One side is called mainstream,
Am

but really I see no difference

Where's the 50 % ministry,
G
Am
G

50 % business?
Am
G

Currently it's 1090,
Am
G
Am

with the latter always trailing
G
Am
G

As the cross fades away with the

realness of the nailing
C
G
Am

Getting over using spiritual parameters
C
G

to evolve your level in society
Am

That's what gospel means to me
C
G
Am

Rolling down the river of

Christian seeds
G

Wishing to knock them upside their heads with my oars,
C

shatter their cords
Am
G

Blood trickles from the
C
G

pores of the fickle
Am
G
Am

Lose control from they fancy being tickled
G

How steppers get their peppers peckled?
Am

My question is this
Am

How do you keep it real

when you synthetic?
C

So pathetic, unlikely eating more eight than

HIV
Am

The way I see things

You're doing more harm than help

with chameleonic skills

Latching on to flavors of the month
Am

for cheap thrills

Arms folded on window sills
C
Am

Finding oddities, you call commodities

You false prodigies, I'm judging

You're catching life's sen

  • 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.
