    Verse 1
    Gather 
    round 
    everybody, 

    everybody 
    clap 
    your hands 

    Now 
    I 
    never 
    tried 
    this 
    shit 
    before 

    but 
    I'll 
    do 
    the best 
    I 
    can 

    Now 
    I 
    got 
    something 
    to 
    say to 
    you, 
    and 
    you 
    might 
    not 
    appreciate 
    it, 

    but 
    I don't 
    give 
    a damn 
    if 
    you like 
    it or not. 

    In 
    fact, 
    I don't 
    care 
    if you hate 
    it. 

    I ain't 
    trying 
    to start 
    no 
    shit. 
    I 

    ain't 
    trying 
    to raise 
    no 
    sin. 

    I'm 
    just 
    trying 
    to say 
    what 
    I 
    got 
    to say 

    in a 
    language 
    you 
    understand. 

    Now 
    you know 
    my name 
    ain't 

    Fat
    back. 
    I 
    ain't 
    part 
    of 

    Sugar 

    Hill. 

    I'm 
    just trying 
    to 
    pass 
    this 
    message 
    to 

    you to 
    show 
    you 
    how 
    I 
    feel. 

    Uh 
    -oh, 
    I 
    think 
    I'm 
    losing 
    him 
    I 

    gotta 
    get him 
    back 

    What 
    would 

    Curtis 

    Blow 
    do 
    at a 
    time 
    like 
    this? 

    Say 
    ho! 

    Ho! 

    Say 
    ho! 

    Ho! 

    Hip 
    hip 
    de 
    hip 
    de hip 
    bop 
    bop 
    de hip 

    hip 
    de 
    hip 
    de 
    hippity 
    hop 

    Fuck 

    Breakdown! 

    Now 
    that 
    I 
    got 
    your attention 
    again 

    I 
    wanna 
    get 
    right 
    to 
    the point 

    Hey

    braids 
    in 
    your hair 

    Suck

    did, 

    George 

    Say 
    ho! 

    Here

    go 

    I 
    got 
    your 
    attention 
    again

      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 🙂

      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.
