    Yeah, 
    yeah, 
    yeah 
    yeah, 
    Nas, 
    uh, 
    yo, 
    yo 

    Life, 
    they wonder, 

    can 
    they take 
    me 
    under? 

    Verse 2
    Nah, 
    never 
    that, 
    nah, 
    yo, 
    yo 

    I come 
    from 
    the housing 

    tenement 
    buildings 

    Unlimited 
    killings, 

    menaces 
    marked 
    for death 

    Better 
    known 
    as 
    the projects 
    where junkies 

    and rock 
    heads 
    dwell 

    Though 
    I owe 
    to 
    it my 
    success 

    With survival 
    of 
    the fittest, 

    everyday 
    is a 
    chal' 

    I would 
    think 
    I'm 
    a part 
    of U.S.A. 

    and be proud 

    Confronted 
    with 
    racism, started 

    to 
    feel 
    foreign 

    Like, 
    the darker 
    you 
    are 
    the realer 

    your 
    problems 

    I reached 
    for the 
    stars 
    but 

    I just 
    kept 
    slipping 

    On 
    this life 
    mission, 

    never 
    know 
    what's 
    next 

    Ancient 
    kings 
    from 
    Egypt, 

    up 
    to Julius 
    Cezar 

    Had a piece 
    of 
    the globe, 
    every 
    continent 

    Yo, 
    there's Asia, 
    Africa, 

    Europe, 
    France, Japan 

    Pakistan, 
    America, 
    Afghanstan 

    Yo, there's 
    Protestants, 

    Jews, 
    Blacks, 
    Arabics 

    Call 
    a truce, 
    world 
    peace, 

    stop 
    acting 
    like savages 

    No 
    war, 
    we should 
    take 

    time 
    and think 

    The bombs 
    and tanks 
    makes 

    man
    kind 
    extinct 

    But 
    since the 
    beginning 
    of time 

    it's been 
    men with 
    arms 
    fighting 

    Lost 
    lives 
    in the 
    Towers 
    and Pentagon, 

    why 
    then? 

    Must 
    it go 
    on, 
    we must 
    stop the 
    killing 

    Tell 
    me why 
    we die, 
    we all 
    God's 
    children 

    Verse 3
    All 
    this 
    hate 
    can't 
    last 
    forever 

    (uh, c'mon) 

    It's time 
    that 
    we 
    stand together

    the world) 

    Everybody wants 
    to

    world 
    (what,

    age, 

    already 
    know

    him 

    So 
    in order 
    for 
    him to survive, 

    one 
    day he 
    must 

    Open 
    up 
    his eyes 
    to 
    the set 

    backs 
    and rise 

    'Cause, 
    everybody

    How can 
    the president 
    fix 
    other 
    problems 

    when 
    he ain't 
    fixed 
    home yet 

    The earth 
    wasn't 
    made 

    for one 
    man

    To all 
    colors 
    increases, 
    to home

    all it's 
    residuals 

    But then 
    comes 
    foes, 

    have to 
    guard it 
    with missiles 

    And I 
    become 
    the most 
    wanted 

    But is 
    it worth 
    hearing 
    a million 
    people 

    problems 
    and 
    fol
    lowed 
    by Secret 
    Service 

    guess, 
    attempts 
    at my 
    life 

    with loaded 
    bar
    rels 

    So 
    move over

    To be

      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.

      "

      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.
