    C
    G

    If the meek shall inherit the earth
    C

    And not the weak

    Let me inherit the street, fuck it

    You know what I mean?

    I mean I love life man,

    you know what I mean

    Life is beautiful,

    it's just the shit in it that's fucked up

    It's rough but it's fair

    People gotta go out there and bust they,

    bust they ass for a job

    I mean, my dad's got five kids,

    man and I mean yo
    G
    C

    He hates drivin' a bus but

    he loves five kids

    You feel me?
    Verse 2
    C

    I'm a rhyme artist

    Out here tryin' to grind my hardest

    Up early so to milk the cow

    Keep my John Deere out here

    plowin' the fields

    To keep my John Hancock's

    worth up in the now

    Went from hangin' on blocks

    to hangin' on charts

    Positions is part of my mission

    to hangin' on top

    Gotta get your polly cracker

    or with them crackers

    And them scheisty ass niggas

    if you like it or not

    I've been rewired to work more

    efficiently in the dirt

    I'm hands on with it all up in my cuticles

    Some try to get off the farm

    but fell into harm

    Of getting in the game of those

    street pharmaceuticals

    But, I was raised in those blue

    collar themes

    Havin' white collar dreams cause

    I see what it means

    And though the meek shall inherit

    the earth but don't forget

    The poor are the ones who inherit the debt

    You can bet I got better

    things to do than that

    I was a dick who got jerked

    by Tom and his boys

    Came on my land,

    seized my cattle, and catalog

    As if it wouldn't leave me less than coy

    But I'm far from bitter even

    further from quittin'

    Got a grind date to make,

    no time for sittin'

    And playin' Xbox,
    G
    C

    stand up and exercise my rights

    As of by seen of through master's eye

    It's the grind date
    Verse 3
    C

    Know what I'm sayin? I'm sick

    of askin' though

    I mean, the street philosophy is that

    I'm gonna milk the cow and cook

    the meat

    At least I'm gonna have some

    kind of food and drink

    Because sometimes you

    can't come back

    Like momma said that if you need
    G
    C

    5cents don't ask for 3

    Ask for 10, that's what's up
    Verse 4
    C

    Yo fuck a rhyme artist, I ain't here for that

    I was born with the boom bap,

    respect the name

    My hands on experience was hands

    on my first contract

    Taught me quick how to respect

    the game

    Introduced to the block,

    got used to the block

    But your neighbors be the ones

    who throw shit on your lawn
    G

    It's like every single time we pop,
    C

    they got annoyed

    But we got ahead, and we got along

    And puttin' work on the calendars,

    worse on them calendars

    Worth of hump days that

    broke the camel's back

    The grind'll make today look gray

    And paint a tainted picture of

    tomorrows in enamel black

    Meet the rhyme, street grind,

    son whatever the beast

    I'm a take it at the horns till

    the pinky toe torn

    And show you why we here this long

    Cause when it comes to puttin' in work

    Once again it's on
    Verse 5
    C

    I'm just like everybody else man An

    average nigga with above

    average potential

    You know what I mean? I'm not sayin'

    that I'm a gentleman

    I'm saying that I know how

    to act like a gentleman

    In order to get the things that I need

    And if I gotta pull out my nickle

    bag, I'm gonna do that
    G

    This ain't no accident man,
    C

    we stayin' here

    You damn right I am proud of myself man

    And I'm proud of my team man

    I don't want you to get the wrong,

    yo baby on the real?

    I don't have sex with people that I do

    business with neither

    And that's the real

    But I do do business with people

    that I have sex with

    So if there ain't no conflict,

    let's get this grind on

    'Cause I'm gonna fuck the

    shit outta you, that's word

    How did you like the song?

    • 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.
