Am
C

Check me out y'all
Dm
Bm

Nasty Nas in your area
Am
C
Dm
Bm

About to cause mass hysteria
Verse 1
Am
C

Before a blunt, I take out my fronts
Dm

Then I start to front, matter of fact,
Bm

I be on a manhunt
Am
C

You couldn't catch me in the streets

without ton of reefer
Dm

That's like Malcolm X
Bm

catching the Jungle Fever
Am
C

King poetic, too much flavor, I'm major
Dm

Atlanta ain't Brave-r,
Bm

pull a number like a pager
Am
C

'Cause I'm a ace when I face the bass
Dm
Bm

40 side is the place that is giving me grace
Dm

Now wait, another dose
Am

and you might be dead
Dm

And I'm a Nike head,
C

I wear chains that excite the feds
Dm
Am

And ain't a damn thing gonna change
Dm

I'm a performer strange,
C

so the mic warmer was born to gain
Am
C

Nas, why did you do it?
Dm

You know you got the mad fat fluid
Bm

when you rhyme, it's halftime
Chorus 1
Am
C
Dm
Bm

It's halftime
Am
C
Dm
Bm

Ayo, it's halftime

Am
C
Dm

Verse 2
Am
C

It's like that, you know it's like that
Dm

I got it hemmed,
Bm

now you never get the mic back
Am

When I attack,
C

ain't an army that could strike back
Dm
Bm

So I react never calmly on a hype track
Am
C

I set it off with my own rhyme
Dm

'Cause I'm as ill as a convict
Bm

who kills for phone time
Am
C

I'm max like cassettes, I flex like sex
Dm
Bm

In your stereo sets, Nas'll Nas'll catch wreck
Am
C

I used to hustle, now all I do is relax and strive
Dm

When I was young,
Bm

I was a fan of the Jackson 5
Am
C

I drop jewels, wear jewels,

hope to never run it
Dm
Bm

With more kicks than a baby

in a mother's stomach
Am
C

Nasty Nas has to rise 'cause I'm wise
Dm
Bm

This is exercise 'til the microphone dies
Am
C

Back in '83, I was an MC sparking
Dm

But I was too scared
Bm

to grab the mic's in the parks
Dm

And kick my little raps
Am
Dm

'cause I thought niggas wouldn't understand
C

And now in every jam, I'm the fucking man
Dm
Am

I rap in front of more niggas
Dm

than in the slave ships
C

I used to watch CHiPs, now I load Glock clips
Am
C

I got to have it, I miss Mr. Magic
Dm
Bm

Versatile, my style switches like a faggot
Am
C

But not bisexual, I'm an intellectual
Dm

Of rap, I'm a professional
Bm

and that's no question, yo
Am
C

These are the lyrics of the man,
Dm

you can't near it, understand

'Cause in the streets,
Bm

I'm well known like the number man
Am
C

Am I in place with the bass and format?
Dm
Bm

Explore rap and tell me Nas ain't all that
Am

And next time I rhyme,
C
Dm

I be foul whenever I freestyle
Bm

I see trial, niggas say I'm wild
Am
C

I hate a rhyme biter's rhyme
Dm

Stay tuned, Nas soon,
Bm

the real rap comes at halftime
Chorus 2
Dm
Am
Dm
C

It's halftime
Dm
Am
Dm
C

Check it, it's halftime
Am
C
Dm
Bm

It's halftime
Am
C
Dm
Bm

Verse 3
Am

I got it going on, even flip a morning song
Dm
Bm

Every afternoon, I kick half the tune
Am

And in the darkness, I'm heartless
Dm

when the narcs hit

Word to Marcus Garvey, I hardly sparked it
Am

'Cause when I blast the herb, that's my word
Dm

I be slaying 'em fast,

doing this, that in the third
Am

But chill, pass to Andre and let's slay
Dm
Bm

I bag bitches up at John Jay

and hit a matinee
Am
C

Putting hits on 5- 0
Dm

'Cause when it's my time to go,
Bm

I wait for God wit the fo-fo
Am
C

And biters can't come near
Dm

And yo, go to hell
Bm

to the foul cop shot Garcia
Am

I won't plant seeds,
C

don't need an extra mouth I can't feed
Dm

That's extra Phillie change,
Bm

more cash for damp weed
Am
C

This goes out to Manhattan
Dm

the Island of Staten
Bm

Brooklyn and Queens is living fat
Am

And the Boogie Down,
C

enough props, enough clout
Dm
Bm

Ill will, rest in peace, yo, I'm out
Chorus 3
Dm
Am
Dm
C

It's still halftime
Dm
Am
Dm
C

You know it's halftime
Dm
Am
Dm
Dm
C

It's halftime
Dm
Am

  • 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.
