short- body Caddys

Uncles named Larry,

Left to the hood to play daddy

Raised by niggas named Butch,

Scoot or Bae- Bae

With weight so they weigh they

status on the streets

License plates that say they, motto

This is Chicago in the heyday

Similar to Good Times,

I guess that I was JJ

A skinny nigga,

young girls with Penny figures

Went to school in Baton Rouge

My college career got downed

with a couple of beers

Came back home,

Same nigga, same block,

Only thing different, quicker,

In my defense, yo, I had to hit that zone

Em

Four pounds and pounds of verb

from out of towners

It's hard to stay grounded

We stay high,

that's why old folks down us
Em

Lost, nobody found us,

the force that surrounds us

Ain't with us,
Dm

they get us on the ground and hit us
Em

We paint pictures of the chains under

their names and scriptures
Dm

Removed from earth,

only to return through birth
Em

Knew this girl sellin' her body,

wish she knew what it was worth
Dm

Between God and trash,
Em

lookin' in every car that pass

With a walk that suggests head,
Dm

to milk niggas she was breastfed
Em

She know dairy so she say

cheese to get bread
Dm

In the area where it's more

weaves and less dreads

Kinda scary,
Em

amongst thieves and base- heads
Dm

Said it was her toes,

but I could tell her soul hurt
Em

She was cold turk',

growin' up she got to know hurt
Dm

Very well in a world where self-

hate is overt
Em

Her step- father that he was Ike,

so her mother he strikes
Dm

She got to like like minded niggas,

who liked crimes and figures
Em

Doin' white lines and liquor,
Dm

see hard times had kicked her

In the ass, it used to be thicker
Em

Life is fast, some choose to be quicker
Dm

I remember in high school she

had a passion to sing
Em

Now she see herself in

a casket in dreams
Dm

These are the children of crack and rap,

Blacks that lack
Em

Self- esteem, yo, we forgot the dream
Dm

On our Jefferson's y'all,

but we forgot the theme
Em

In the Chi, we even rootin'

for a garbage team

This queen never seen

herself on this corner

She still wanna see California

But this is her world

  • 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.
