  • Verse 1
    God 
    in all 
    my 
    flows, 

    heav
    en 
    in my 
    track

    My 
    kettles 
    all 
    gold, 

    my presidents 
    are Black 
    (bah) 

    See, Jacky 
    on 
    the front 
    lines 
    and 

    Richard's 
    in 
    the back 

    Remember 
    when 
    they 
    told 

    us 
    just 
    to 
    rap? 
    Hmm 

    Over 
    the 
    years, 
    we've 
    been 
    ill 
    ad
    vised 

    They 
    told 
    us 
    "Just 
    one 
    at 
    a time", 

    that's 
    the 
    biggest 
    lie 

    A wise 
    man 
    once 
    asked 
    "Who 

    ate all 
    the 
    pies?" 

    And now 
    he's 
    lookin' 
    at 
    me 
    funny, 

    like 
    took 
    his 
    slice 

    Verse 2
    Oh, 
    what 
    life, 

    if I 
    can't 
    war with 
    no 
    broken 
    man 

    They 
    start 
    worryin', 
    they've 
    got 
    wars 
    to 
    plan, 

    hmm, 
    aight, 
    cool 

    Jigga 
    told 
    me 
    "Crabs 
    in a 
    buck
    et", 

    said 
    over
    stand 

    So 
    you 
    my 
    brother, 

    you 
    can 
    hold 
    my 
    hand 

    You 
    wouldn't 
    know 
    about 
    the 
    convos that 

    we had 
    to 
    change 
    the rules 

    Did
    n't know 
    that 
    I would 
    give 
    my 

    arm 
    and leg 
    to 
    help 
    you move 

    Didn't 
    know 
    we're 
    tryna 
    implement 

    our 
    history 
    through 
    the schools 

    You can 
    keep 
    the 
    gems, 

    give 
    you 
    jewels, 
    aight 

    We 
    are the 
    needle 
    Verse 3
    movers, 

    we 
    are 
    the 
    table 
    shakers 

    They 
    gotta 
    move 
    around 
    us, 

    cah 
    nothin' 
    moves 
    without 
    us 

    It can't 
    be 
    you 
    who 
    found 
    us, 

    we 
    don't 
    need 
    you 
    to 
    crown 
    us 

    had a 
    crown 
    before 
    my 
    song, 

    this 
    is the 
    mountain 
    that 
    I'm 
    on 

    We 
    set 
    up 
    shop, 

    but 
    never 
    closed 
    the shutter 

    I give 
    you 
    all 
    the 
    keys, 

    don't 
    matter 
    if we 
    know 
    each 
    other 

    My brother 
    Enoch 
    told 
    me 
    "Bro, 

    you 
    wasn't 
    known 
    to 
    stutter" 

    So 
    got 
    rid 
    of 
    it, 

    I'm 
    smoother 
    than 
    some 
    cocoa 
    butter 

    Verse 4
    Fluent, 
    you 
    can- 
    , it's 
    the 

    community 
    provider 

    The multiple 
    diss 
    track 
    survivor, 

    glory 
    be to 
    God, 
    Jehovah 
    Jireh 

    How 
    can 
    I retire? 
    The 
    devil 
    is 
    a liar 

    And shout 
    my nigga 
    Dave, 

    'cause 
    we made 
    it through 
    the 
    fire 

    Should've 
    left 
    me 
    out the 
    polit
    ics 

    All 
    I know 
    is 
    feta

    and 
    dollar 
    chips 

    Niggas 
    went from 
    sellin' 
    weed 

    to scholarships 

    They're 
    billin' 
    me 
    to 
    holler 
    flicks 

    And 
    know 
    they 
    holler 
    flicks 

    to 
    get 
    at 
    me 

    I could 
    be 
    Beatle if 
    you 
    let 
    it 
    be, 

    I needed 
    you 
    to 
    set 
    me 
    free 

    Woo, 
    Verse 5
    I just 
    needed 
    you 
    to 

    let 
    me 
    dream 

    The pressure 
    that 
    I'm 
    under 
    does 
    no 

    favors 
    for 
    my self- 
    esteem 

    I wonder

    Lord 

    Verse 12

      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.

      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.
