    • Verse 1
    Little 

    ghetto 
    boy, 

    playing 
    in the 
    ghetto 
    street 

    Whatcha' gonna 
    do 
    when you 

    grow 
    up

    And have 
    to 
    face 
    responsibility? 

    Will 
    you spend 
    your days 

    and 
    nights 
    in a 
    pool 
    room? 

    Will 
    you 
    sell 
    caps 
    of madness 

    to 
    the neighborhood? 

    Little 
    ghetto 
    boy 

    You 
    already 
    know 
    how 

    rough 
    life 
    can 
    be 

    'Cause 
    you've 
    seen 
    so 
    much pain 

    and 
    misery 

    Verse 2

    Little ghetto 
    boy 

    Your 
    daddy 
    was 
    blown 
    away 

    He 
    robbed 
    that 
    grocery 
    store 

    Don't 
    you 
    know 
    that 
    was 
    a sad, 

    sad 
    old day? 

    All 
    of 
    your young 
    life 
    you've 

    seen 
    such misery 
    an
    d pain 

    The world 
    is a 
    cruel 
    place 

    An
    d it 
    ain't 
    gonna 
    change 

    You're so 
    young 
    and you've 

    got 
    so 
    far 
    to 
    go 

    But I don't 
    think 
    you'll 
    reach 
    your goal, 

    young 
    man 

    Hangin' 
    by 
    the pool 
    room door 

    Look 
    out, 
    son

      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

      "

      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.
