Intro 1
Am
Verse 1
Am
Escúchala, la ciudad respirando
Verse 2
Am
The new moon rode high in the crown of the metropolis
Shining, like who on top of this?
People was tussling,
arguing and bustling
Gangstas of Gotham hardcore
hustling
I'm wrestling with words and ideas
My ears is pricked,
seeking what will transmit
The scribes can apply to transcript,
yo
This ain't no time where
the usual is suitable
Tonight alive, let's describe the
inscrutable
The indisputable,
we New York the narcotic
Draped in metal and fiber
optics
Where mercenaries is paid
to trade hot stock tips
For profits, thirsty criminals
take pockets
Hard knuckles on the second hands
of working class watches
Skyscrapers is colossus,
the cost of living is preposterous
Stay alive, you play or die, no options,
no Batman and Robin
Can't tell between the cops and the robbers,
they both partners, they all heartless
With no conscience,
back streets stay darkened
Where unbeliever hearts
stay hardened
My eagle talons stay sharpened,
like city lights stay throbbing
You either make a way
or stay sobbing
The shiny Apple is bruised but
sweet and if you choose to eat
You could lose your teeth,
many crews retreat
Nightly news repeat,
who got shot down and locked down
Spotlight to savages,
NASDAQ averages
My narrative rose to explain
this existence
Amidst the harbor lights which
Verse 3
remain in the distance
Am
So much on my mind that
I can't recline
Blastin' holes in the night
'til she bled sunshine
Breathe in, inhale vapors from
bright stars that shine
Breathe out, weed smoke
retrace the skyline
Heard the bass ride out like an
ancient mating call
I can't take it y'all,
I can feel the city breathing
Chest heaving,
against the flesh of the evening
Sigh before we die like the last
train leaving
Verse 4
Am
Breathin' in deep city breaths,
sittin' on shitty steps
We stoop to new lows,
hell froze the night the city slept
The beast crept through concrete
jungles
Communicatin' with one another
And ghetto birds where waters fall
From the hydrants to the gutters
The beast walk the beats,
but the beats we be makin
You on the wrong side of the track,
lookin visibly shaken
Taken them plungers,
plungin' to death that's painted by the numbers
With Krylon applied pressure,
cats is playin God
By havin' children by a lesser
baby mother but fuck it
We played against each other like puppets,
swearin' you got pull
When the only pull you got
is the wool over your eyes
Gettin' knowledge in jail like
a blessing in disguise
Look in the skies for God,
what you see besides the smog
Is broken dreams flying away on the
wings of the obscene
Thoughts that people put in the air
Places where you could get murdered
over a glare
But everything is fair
It's a paradox we call reality
So keepin' it real will make you
casualty of abnormal normality
Killers Born Naturally like,
Mickey and Mallory
Not knowing the ways'll get you capped
like an NBA salary
Some cats be emceeing to illustrate
what we be seeing
Hard to be a spiritual being when shit
is shakin' what you believe in
For trees to grow in Brooklyn,
seeds need to be planted
I'm asking if y'all feel me and
the crowd left me stranded
My blood pressure boiled and rose,
cause New York niggas
Actin spoiled at shows,
to the winners the spoils go
I take the L, transfer to the
2, head to the gates
New York life type
Verse 5
trife the Roman Empire state
Am
So much on my mind that
I can't recline
Blastin' holes in the night
'til she bled sunshine
Breathe in, inhale vapors from
bright stars that shine
Breathe out, weed smoke
retrace the skyline
Heard the bass ride out like an
ancient mating call
I can't take it y'all,
I can feel the city breathing
Chest heaving,
Em
against the flesh of the evening
Sigh before we die like the last train leaving
Am
Yo,
Verse 6
Bm
Am
on The Amen,
Corner I stood lookin at my former hood
Felt the spirit in the wind,
knew my friend was gone for good
Threw dirt on the casket, the hurt,
I couldn't mask it
Mixin' down emotions,
struggle I hadn't mastered
I choreograph seven steps to heaven
In hell, waiting to exhale and
make the bread leaven
Veteran of a cold war It's
Chica- I- go for
What I know or, what's known
So some days I take the bus home,
just to touch home
From the crib I spend months gone
Sat by the window with a clutched dome
listenin' to shorties cuss long
Young girls with weak minds,
but they bust strong
Tried to call, or at least beep the Lord,
but didn't have a touch- tone
It's a dog- eat- dog world,
you gotta mush on
Some of this land I must own
Outta the city, they want us gone
Tearin' down the 'jects
creatin' plush homes
My circumstance is between
Cabrini and Love Jones
Surrounded by hate, yet I love home
Ask my guy how he thought
travellin' the world sound
Found it hard to imagine he hadn't
been past downtown
It's deep, I heard the city
breathe in its sleep
A reality I touch,
but for me it's hard to keep
Deep, I heard my man
breathe in his sleep
A reality I touch,
but for me it's hard to keep
Verse 7
Am
So much on my mind that
I can't recline
Blastin' holes in the night 'til
she bled sunshine
Breathe in, inhale vapors from
bright stars that shine
Breathe out,
weed smoke retrace the skyline
How the bass ride out like
an ancient mating call
I can't take it y'all,
I can feel the city breathing
Chest heaving,
against the flesh of the evening
Kiss the eyes goodbye I'm on the last train

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.”
