    Verse 2

    We 
    those 
    pros, 

    we never 
    procrastinate 
    (ah) 

    Them 
    guardians 
    they 
    shouldn't 

    let 
    you 
    get 
    past 
    the 
    gate 

    Watch 
    out 
    dog, 

    the 
    watchdog's showing 
    his 
    teeth 

    (Guess you 
    bit 
    too 
    much 

    shit) they 
    biting 
    your 
    beat 

    While 
    I 
    speak 
    from 
    experience, 

    hunger 
    and hurt 

    And 
    a little 
    bit 
    of 
    hate 
    from 

    niggas 
    doing 
    me 
    dirt 

    I 
    just 
    wash 
    it all 
    out 
    with 
    Tide 
    and 
    show 
    love 

    To 
    those 
    who 
    ride 
    with 
    me 

    while 
    I'm 
    putting 
    in 
    work 

    Verse 3
    Full- 
    timing 
    it, 

    8:30 to 
    6, the 
    graveyard 
    shift 

    The 
    three 
    months 
    before 

    the 
    benefits 
    hit 

    But my 
    position 
    went 
    temp' to 
    perm' 

    I sat 
    and listened 
    like 
    an 
    intern 

    watching 
    who applied 
    get 
    fired 

    Now 
    I'm 
    sitting 
    in the 
    break 
    room, 

    they 
    gotta 
    make 
    room (make room) 

    My 
    paper 
    stacks, 
    put 
    staples 
    through 
    'em 

    So 
    I can 
    keep 
    my 
    money 
    together 

    Some 
    die- 
    hard 
    fans 
    just 
    don't 
    want 
    it 
    like, 

    "Put 
    Pos 
    back 
    on it" 

    Verse 4
    I'm 
    back 
    on 
    it, 

    that's 
    why 
    you 
    never 
    disappointed 

    We 
    give 
    you 
    what 
    we 
    live 
    through 

    for 
    real (for real) 

    Don't own 
    a 
    crown 
    but 
    I'm 
    royalty 

    And 
    trying 
    to 
    see 
    the 
    royalty 
    checks 

    about 
    a half 
    a 
    mil' 

    Whether 
    off 
    or on 
    the 
    chart, 

    my 
    cuts 
    grips 
    your 
    heart 

    (You know 
    we 
    got 
    you 

    open) like 
    your 
    gut 
    splits 
    apart 

    I 
    never 
    pass 
    the 
    buck
    , 

    my shoulder 
    holds 
    the 
    weights 

    So 
    don't 
    beef 
    when 
    we 

    don't 
    pass 
    collection 
    plates 

    Verse 5
    I 
    don't 
    give 
    money, 

    I 
    don't 
    support 
    the 
    needy 

    Schooled 
    in 
    America, 

    taught

      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 🙂

      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.
