    have 
    great 
    belief 
    that 
    the 
    fundamentals 
    of 
    our economy 
    are 
    very 
    strong, 

    very 
    strong. 



    Know 
    it 
    don't 
    look 
    pretty, 
    but 
    you 
    know 

    Time 
    is 

    Raining 

    Time 
    is 

    Coming 

    Time 
    is 

    Draining 

    Time 
    is 

    Uh, 
    yeah, 
    uh 

    Yo, 
    you 
    need 
    room 
    to 
    make 

    Something 
    accumulate 

    But 
    time 
    ain't 
    on 
    his 
    side 

    So, 
    homie, 
    it's 
    soon 
    to 
    break 

    He 
    can't 
    dip 
    in 
    his 
    stash 

    Child 
    support 
    kicking 
    his 
    ass 

    Ready 
    to 
    grip 
    the 
    4th, 
    5th, and 
    the 

    Mass 

    This 
    connect 
    inconsistent 

    The 
    work's 
    always 
    different, 
    sometimes 
    it's 
    ready 
    rock, 

    sometimes 
    it's 
    kitchen 

    Nothin' 
    can 
    convince 
    him 
    that 

    the 
    world 
    ain't 
    against 
    him 

    And 
    he thought 
    it was 
    all 

    dream 
    till 
    he 
    finched 
    him 

    The 
    other 
    times 
    that 
    he 
    got 
    away 

    they 
    would've 
    lynched 
    him 

    He 
    ain't 
    been 
    able 
    to 
    get 

    right 
    every 
    since 
    then 

    No 
    good 
    advice 
    for 
    him, 

    nothin' 
    goin' 
    right 
    for 
    him 

    Even 
    though 
    at 
    the 
    end 
    of the 
    tun
    nel 

    there's 
    light 
    for 
    him 

    Times hard, 
    times 
    cold 

    We 
    need 
    some 
    money 
    to 
    control 

    Things 
    rough, 
    things 
    tough 

    Lord, 
    know 
    it 
    don't 
    look 

    pretty 
    but 
    it's 
    tough 

    Time 
    is 
    rain, 
    time 
    is 
    cold, 
    time 
    is 
    drain 

    Time 
    is, 
    time 
    is, 
    time 
    is, time 
    is 

    got 
    land 
    there, 

    I'm good 
    with an 
    acre 

    What's 
    in the 
    bank, 

    I'm 
    good 
    with 
    the 
    shakers 

    Harder 
    than 
    the 
    hood 
    in 

    Jamaica 

    When 
    your own 
    brother 
    are 
    in 
    you 

    Therefore 
    the 
    struggle 
    continues 

    Get 
    it 
    in 
    and 
    draw 
    blood 
    at 
    the 
    venue 

    Damn, 
    you was 
    just 
    supplying 
    fiends 

    Now 
    the 
    ends 
    ain't 
    even 
    justifying 

    the 
    means 

    Experimenting 
    with 
    drugs, 

    now I'm 
    trying 
    to 
    lean 

    Wouldn't 
    say 
    you 
    falling 
    off, 

    but you 
    right 
    in between 

    The 
    streets 
    got 
    the 
    best 
    of 
    you 

    Your 
    whole 
    gangsta's 
    a replica 

    And 
    you gotta 
    take 
    that 
    to 

    the 
    death 
    with 
    you 

    Need 
    no 
    reminders 

    Shit, 
    wonder 
    where 
    your 
    mind 
    is 

    Cause 
    it 
    ain't 
    like 
    you 
    don't 

    know 
    what 
    the 
    time 
    is 

    That's 
    hard, 
    that's 
    cool 

    We 
    need 
    some 
    money 
    to 
    control 

    Things 
    rough, 
    big 
    stuff, 

    Lord 

    Know 
    it 
    look 
    pretty, 
    but 
    it 
    don't 

    Time 
    is 
    red, 
    time 
    is 
    cold 

    Time 
    is 
    red, 
    time 
    is 
    cold 

    Definitely 
    need 
    plan, 

    it's 
    almost 
    50 
    gram 

    Either 
    that 
    or 
    you 
    better 
    get 
    you 
    scam 

    For 
    the 
    gas 
    prices 
    and 

    foreclosures 
    all 
    over 

    When 
    it's 
    gon' 
    stop, 
    only 
    the 

    Lord 
    knows 
    this 

    Seems 
    like 
    nobody 
    want 
    us, 

    when 
    the hard 
    times 
    come 
    upon 
    us 

    Run 
    with 
    us 
    or 
    run 
    from 
    us, 

    death 
    is 
    a slow 
    process 

    Hard 
    to 
    digest, 
    you 
    already 
    know, 

    no 
    struggle, 
    no 
    progress 

    Sys
    tem 
    are 
    suffering, 

    they 
    ought 
    to 
    try 
    hustling 

    But 
    they 
    still 
    struggling, 

    the 
    money's 
    not 
    coming 
    in 

    Time 
    is 
    getting 
    dread 
    again, 

    got 
    to 
    do 
    some 
    juggling 

    Want 
    some 
    money 
    in 
    the 
    yard 

    hot, 
    time's 
    hard, 
    time's 
    cold, 

    He used 
    them 
    once 
    and 

    money 
    to 
    control. 

    Things 
    rough, 
    things 
    tough, 

    Lord, 

    Though 
    it 
    look 
    pretty, 
    but 
    it 
    don't. 

    time 
    is 
    straight, 

    Time 
    is 
    cold, 

    The 
    time 
    is 
    hard, 

    The 
    time 
    is, 
    the 
    time 
    is 
    straight. 

    The 
    road 
    ahead 
    will 
    be 
    long, 

    Our 
    climb 
    will 
    be 
    steep. 

    We 
    may 
    not 
    get 
    there 
    in 
    one 
    year 

    or 
    even 
    in 
    one 
    term, 
    but 

    America, 
    I have 
    never 
    been 
    more 
    hopeful 
    than 
    am 
    tonight 
    that 
    we 
    will 
    get 
    there. 
    promise 
    you, 

    Outro 1
    we 
    as 
    people 
    will 
    get 
    there.

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.

      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.
