    Verse 1
    Love 
    a van 
    that 
    is 
    loaded 

    with 
    weapons 

    Packed 
    up 
    and 
    ready 
    to 
    go 

    Heard 
    of 
    some 
    grave 
    sites 

    out 
    by 
    the highway 

    A 
    place 
    where 
    nobody 
    knows 

    The 
    sound 
    of 
    gunfire 
    off 

    in 
    the distance 

    I'm 
    getting 
    used 
    to 
    it 
    now 

    Lived 
    in 
    a brownstone, 

    I've 
    lived 
    in 
    the 
    ghetto 

    I've 
    lived 
    all 
    over 
    this 
    town 

    This 
    ain't 
    no 
    party, 
    this 
    ain't 
    no 
    disco 

    This 
    ain't 
    no 
    foolin' 
    around 

    No 
    time 
    for 
    dancin' 

    Or 
    lovin' 
    dovin' 

    I 
    ain't 
    got 
    time 
    for 
    that 
    now 

    Let's 
    get 
    a message 

    To 
    the 
    receiver 

    Hope 
    for 
    an 
    answer 
    someday 

    I've 
    got 
    3D 
    passports 

    A 
    couple 
    of 
    visas 

    Don't 
    even 
    know 
    my 
    real 
    name 

    We 
    dress 
    like 
    students 

    We 
    dress 
    like 
    housewives 

    Or 
    in 
    a 
    suit 
    and 
    a 
    tie 

    I've 
    changed 
    my 
    hairstyle 

    so 
    many 
    times 
    now 

    I 
    don't 
    know 
    what 
    I 
    look 
    like 

    This 
    ain't 
    no 
    party 

    This 
    ain't 
    no 
    disco 

    This 
    ain't 
    no 
    foolin' 
    around 

    No, 
    oh 
    no 

    No 
    time 
    for 
    dancin' 

    Or 
    lovey 
    -dovey 

    I 
    ain't 
    got 
    time 
    for 
    that 
    now 

    Whoa,

      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 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.
