Verse 1
Dm

Clicks, clicks, clicks,

they'll do anything to get anything

to get a few

Tick, tick, tick,

that's the sound before my head explodes
Dm

Quit, quit, quit,

look at you up on your pedestal
A

Quick, quick, quick,

here the critics come, it's time to go
Dm

I read your article, it kinda hurt me

I don't know who hired you

Or what your friends say in your circle
Dm

But the fact that you released it

Tells me two things are for certain
A

They get paid for trashing people

I get paid 'cause I stay working
Dm

Dropped 'The Search' and

They emerge up outta nowhere


To the surface,

just to peep behind the curtain

Throwing salt at all my burdens
Dm

I'm aware I shouldn't give this my attention

Life's a journey,
A

I should just stay on my path

And learn to laugh, you think they heard me?
Dm

Ears are burning, put 'em out

Quiet, quiet, look around

Why don't they find someone way more

Interesting to write about?
Dm

Us, we're kinda boring, aren't we?

All we do is whine and pout
A

It's confusing, so amusing

How I argue with myself
Verse 2

Hello
Dm

I spit it was ease so leave it to me

Doubted, but you better believe

I'm on a rampage,

hit 'em, with the record release

Depending the week,

I'm probably gonna have to achieve
Dm

Another goal, let me go and I'm over the beat

I go into beast mode like I'm ready to feast
A

I'm fed up with these thieves

tryna get me to bleed

They wanna see me take an L,

yep, see what I mean?
Dm

How many records I gotta give you

to get with the program?

Take it for granted,

I'm 'bout to give you the whole plan

Open your mind up

and take a look at the blueprint

Debate if you gotta,

but gotta hold it with both hands
Dm

Pick at the bars, you gotta be smart

You really gotta dig in your heart

If you wanna get to the root of an issue
A

Plus I'm in the middle,

could be dark and be difficult

But they pay off at the end
Chorus 1

if it can help you to get to it ay
Dm

Paid my dues, made it through

Spread the news, I'm on the loose
Dm

Making moves, I need some room
A

Though he's cool, well, don't assume,

don't assume, ay
Dm

I'm the truth, oh, they want some proof

Fear it, don't be rude, something new

Even when I lose, I make it look cool
Dm

Do the show, then we hit the room

Wife is looking, oh
A

What to do?
Verse 3

I don't need the shades up to like the view
Dm

It's time to get back

in the swing of things

When my life crashes,

I'm not the guy that'll flee the scene
Dm

I'll take ownership and own it

and raise my hand if it's me
A

Just remember though, I'm only a man,

I'm a human being
Dm

Don't they see, shoot the breeze

I'd rather just stay discrete

People claim they're in your corner

but leave you in times of need
Dm

They don't listen do they? (what?)

They don't listen to anything
A

I'll accept advice

if it's not presented ignorantly
Verse 4
Dm

Look, costs are high, they multiply

They cause divides and force the fight

The poison I've been sipping

on has quite the bite

It killed me twice, they rigged the lights
Dm

So y'all could see the parts of mine

that aren't too bright

See, often I apologize

and authorize the awful times
A

That pop up (Nate) like I'm right behind you

I'd advise you not to try
Dm

and climb inside the mind like I do

Keep the rhyme book expedited,

over nighted

Hold the tide in,

hope the time is on my side

'Cause if it's not then I'll decide

to override my own demise
Dm

I toed the line too close

and I can improvise and empathize
A

But recognize the fact that I could jeopardize

and wreck our lives

You better give me your attention,
Outro 1

the undivided...
Dm

Paid my dues, made it through

Spread the news, I'm on the loose
Dm

Making moves, I need some room
A

Though he's cool, well, don't assume,

don't assume, ay
Dm

Paid my dues, made it through

Spread the news, I'm on the loose
Dm

Making moves, I need some room
A

Though he's cool, well, don't assume,

don't assume, ay

  • 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.
