G
Em

Let me tell you what's up with all these

New

York cats

They got too rich and lost the grip on rap
G

They let the country boys

take over the soundtrack
A

And blow the
G

Superman cape straight off their back
Em

Now everybody know

where all the flavors at

And if there's any drama

I'll be handling that
G

I gotta switch the singles and

walk in the fall back
A
G

Late night conference calls and all that
Em

Not the next

Denzel, I'm the first

LL

I remember where I came from,

hot since day one
G

Queens in the building,

I spank these children
A

But not seeing that I switch styles
G

like a chameleon
Em

A lot of wanna be kings,

but I'm the real one

All these cats playing dumb,

they know the deal, son
G

Use rap like caps, I will peel one
A
G

And your reign is over,

nigga, here comes

All these cats is lyin',

they have huge imaginations
G

They ain't freestylin',

them niggas is freebasin'
A

It's like a epidemic,
G
Em

the beats they keep wastin'

Feels like the 80's again, back to basics

Hit em with the raw shit,

niggas is gon' chase it
G

And get addicted to how I spit it
A
G
Em

I treat my beef like a blunt lick and split it

My shit's wicked, fiends can't forget it

Take it in your lungs,

you're done, you get lifted
G

Too many debates about what

Mr.

Smith did
A

What can I say, nigga?
G
Em

God's good, I'm gifted

But I won't hit you with

the same old money rap

Cause most of them money rappers

need to give you your money back
G

I'm just your man next door,

sharp hood cat
A
G

I want the crown back, boy,

you don't deserve that

Like

G

L's on the radio, wow,
Em

how does it sound?

I've never been afraid to set

it off on these clowns

Especially with all that hyped

up trash they put down
G

This is for the cats that consistently

hold me down
A

Arguing in barbershops from
G

Queens to uptown
Em

I went to

Hollywood and let them borrow the crown

But they got too cocky,

I'm back to check these clowns
G

And I dare one of y

'all to disrespect me now
A

I'd die before that happened,
G

so in ject me now
Em

And I'm the best,

fuck pound for pound

When shit gets serious,

I rock the ground

Matter of fact, where my real niggas at?

  • 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.
