I came to New
Verse 1

York

by way of my old earth.
Abb
D

My father came over here from Haiti
Abb

about 40 years ago.
D
Abb
D

My father did not teach me his language.
Abb

I barely knew him as my father.
D

He is like the devil
Abb

in that he gave me nothing.
D

Why is he like the devil?

Because he avoided me
Abb

since I was a little boy.

Why do you not seek him out now,
D

but to a grown man?
Abb

Because my mother gave me
D
Abb

food for thought and belly.
D

Does this have anything to do
Abb

with the above question?

I didn't need him to acquire
D

the knowledge of myself.
Abb
D
Abb

What is the knowledge of yourself?
D

My own self is a righteous God
Abb

Are there any gods oth er than righteous?

I beg your pardon,
D

I've never heard of one
Abb
D

Now draw ing up that de gree ain't hard
Abb

Cause if you ain't righteous,
D

how you supposed to be God?

Another question you might have,
Abb

no doubt

How does God on his album cover

lookin' knocked out?
D

For me it's simple and plain,
Abb

let me ex plain

It's symbolic to the fact
D

that I've been through some things

I wasn't trippin' or takin'
Abb

no ass whippin' literally

I'm just tryin' to show you my pain
D

Cause life imitates art
Abb

like before I even had kids
D
Abb

Naming my first album the best part
D
Abb

The life of this artist is drawn kinda dark
D

The darkness accentuates the light spark
Abb

To reveal this room full of powder cans
D

That explodes into all of these sands

So visually, that was me
Abb

knocked out

Musically,
D

this is me getting up off the ground
Abb

I used this assaultin' battery to energize
D

And set sail on a whole

nother enterprise
Abb

Boldly go where MCs are scared to
D
Abb

Man up in ways boys ain't prepared to
D
Abb

Take life's hardest hits on the chin
D

Wipe the blood off my cheek

and begin again

So why these rappers
Abb

fantasize and pre tend

This is show you art
D

imitates life now and then
Abb

How many records have
D

you released as JY?

A little over 5

How many records have you sold
Abb

combined since your first

album?
D

Approximately 100 ,000
Abb

Do you mean to say that the millions
D

of people who love hip -hop

aren't aware of your music?
Abb

Yes, sir.
D

I can hardly believe that unless they were blind,

deaf, and dumb.

Well, they were made blind, deaf, and dumb

by popular culture

since they were babies.

And a label fooled Jay Live?

No, not nowadays.
Abb
D

Do you mean to say the labels were

fooling Jay Live for 10 years?
Abb
D

Yes. The labels made an

interpretation
Abb

that I received gold for my labor,
D

more than I could earn
Abb

in my own company.
D
Abb

Then, did you receive gold?
D
Abb
D

No, no, no, no, no.
Abb

The labels disappeared.
D

And there was no one there
Abb

to speak my language.

Then, then, then, then what happened?
D
Abb

  • 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.
