    Lord

    cypher 
    and build 

    Chill

    Verse 2
    Check 
    it out, 
    come 
    on 

    Here’s your chance 
    to 
    swing 

    With 
    some 
    ill motherfuckers 

    We 
    don’t dance 
    and sing 

    In 
    ‘95 we’re out 
    jingling, 
    serving 

    Poetic 
    Justice 
    without 
    that 

    Nigga 
    John 
    Singleton 

    do my 
    thing 
    while the fans 

    be 
    gelling ayyo 

    I’m so 
    dope 

    You better 
    tap 
    your man 
    and tell 
    him 

    I don’t
    fake moves, 
    scrape 
    crews 

    make brothers 
    break 
    food 
    just give 
    me a 

    Beat 
    with 
    a bass 
    groove 

    I’m mad 
    funky 
    ask 
    the experts 

    ‘cause I’ll 

    Make you 
    bob 
    your head 
    until 

    Your 
    motherfucking 
    neck 
    hurt 

    So 
    don’t ask 
    me to max, 

    G, 
    ‘cause if 
    you 

    Ain’t real 

    I’m bringing 
    it to your 
    face 
    like 
    acne 

    Now 
    rappers 
    run 
    scams and 
    flimflams 

    On 
    how they be 
    getting 

    loose 
    when 

    They’re rusty 
    like 
    the Tin 
    Man 

    They rap 
    fast, 
    trying 
    to 
    stack 
    cash, 

    but on 

    The reel- 
    to reel, 
    yo 

    They’re still 
    sounding 
    half- 
    assed 

    Yelling 
    and screaming 
    like 
    they 
    got 

    Something 
    when they 

    don’t got 
    nothing 

    So them 
    niggas 
    need to 
    stop 
    fronting 

    Talking 
    how 
    they be rag
    ging shit 
    when 

    don’t know if 
    them 

    niggas 
    are rapping 
    or 

    Talking 
    motherfucking 
    Arabic 

    They act 
    so ill 
    ay, 
    no 
    frills, 

    they 
    should go 

    Chill 
    they all 
    mouth 
    with no 
    skills 

    When 
    I’m around 

    They all 
    feel 
    funny 
    ‘cause I’m 

    Young, making 
    funds 
    like 

    Shaquille O’Neal 

    Money 
    you 
    want 
    any drama? 
    You 

    Better 
    wear plenty 
    armor 

    I’ll cut 
    that ass 
    like the 
    chef 

    at 
    Benihana’s 

    The Funky 
    Man’s in it 
    to win 

    It 
    we 
    gotta 
    keep

    gimmick) what’s when 


    You’re soft 
    but 
    you’re fronting 

    Like 
    you’re stressed? 

    (That’s a 
    gimmick) what’s when 


    You’re only 
    into 
    rap 
    to get 
    paid? 

    (That’s a 
    gimmick) what’s when 


    You’re yelling 
    and screaming 

    up on 
    stage? 

    (That’s a 
    gimmick) when your 

    Career 
    is 
    numbered 
    by 
    days? 

    (That’s a 
    gimmick) what’s when 


    Your lyrical 
    style 
    is just 
    a phase? 

    (That’s a 
    gimmick) 

    Verse 3

    Stand 
    because 
    I’m tall 
    and 

    Keep the

    other 
    rappers 

    Talking 
    about the

    They peel 
    punk, 

    I’ll battle

    hopping 
    with your 

    country 
    ass 

    Sounding 
    like 
    you’re still 
    picking 
    cotton 

    You’ll get thrown 
    across 
    the room 

    In that 
    direction

      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.

      Great to tune and play

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.

      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 🙂

      "

      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.
