    People 
    gotta go 
    out there 
    and bust 
    they,

    Verse 2
    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, 

    stand 
    up 
    and 
    exer
    cise 
    my rights 

    As of by seen 
    of through 
    master's 
    eye 

    It's 
    the grind 
    date 

    Verse 3
    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 

    5
    cents 
    don't ask 
    for 
    3 

    Ask 
    for 
    10, that's 
    what's 
    up 

    Verse 4
    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 

    It's like 
    every single 
    time 
    we 
    pop, 

    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
    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 

    This 
    ain't no accident 
    man, 

    we 
    stay
    in' 
    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

      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

      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 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
