Verse 4
G


Dear Aubrey

I know you probably thinkin'

I wanted to crash your party

But truthfully, I don't have a

hatin' bone in my body

This supposed to be a good
Am

exhibition within the game

But you fucked up the moment you

was never a home

Thirty-seven,
G

but but you showin' up as a seven-year-old

You You You got gamblin' problems, drinkin' problems,

I try to empathize with you 'cause I know

that you ain't been through nothin'

Take that mask off,

G

I wanna see what's under them achievements
Am

Why believe you? You never gave

us nothin' to believe in
G

'Cause you lied about religious views,

you lied about your surgery

You lied about your accent and your past tense,

You lied about your ghostwriters, you

lied about your crew members
Am

They all pussy, you lied on 'em, I

know they all got you in 'em
G

You lied about your son,

you lied about your daughter, huh

You lied about them other kids that's

out there hopin' that you come

You lied about the only artist that

  • 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.
