    D

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

    Life, they wonder,

    can they take me under?
    Verse 2

    Nah, never that, nah, yo, yo
    D

    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
    Em

    to feel foreign
    D

    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
    A
    D

    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
    G

    No war, we should take

    time and think
    D

    The bombs and tanks makes
    G

    mankind extinct
    Em

    But since the beginning of time
    G

    it's been men with arms fighting
    Em

    Lost lives in the Towers and Pentagon,

    why then?
    G

    Must it go on, we must stop the killing
    F#m
    D
    Em

    Tell me why we die, we all God's children
    Verse 3
    F#m

    All this hate can't last forever
    G

    (uh, c'mon)

    D

    That's they corner,

    from New York to California

    Got blocks locked down
    G
    D

    Like, "dog you safe whenever
    A

    you with me, see this is my town"
    D

    So the youngsters,

    grows in ghettos, goes to prison

    At an early age,

    already know it's against him

    So in order for him to survive,

    one day he must

    Open up his eyes to the set

    backs and rise

    'Cause, everybody wants a shot,
    G
    D

    in this land of opportunity

    Look at what this country's

    got

    There shouldn't be

    nobody homeless

    How can the president fix other problems
    A

    when he ain't fixed home yet
    D

    The earth wasn't made
    G

    for one man to rule alone
    D

    To all colors increases, to home it belongs
    Em

    I want land, mansions, banks and gold
    D

    The diamonds in Africa,

    oil in my control
    Em
    G

    The world's natural resources,

    all it's residuals

    But then comes foes,
    F#m
    Em

    I have to guard it with missiles

    And I become the most wanted
    G

    But is it worth hearing a million people
    D
    F#m

    problems and followed by Secret Service

    I guess, attempts at my life
    G

    with loaded barrels
    D

    So move over Colin Powell

    or just throw in the towel, yo

    Em

    Verse 6
    D


    Y'all know that's my style,
    G

    to hit you at the right time
    D

    No other compares to what

    Nas write down

    Tell you my dreams,

    show you my pain is yours

    You could get what you love,

    be a chain in cause

    You alive right now

    There's so many that's dead or locked up inside the beast,

    I'm a hot light now

    It's whatever man think
    G

    of manifest to the real
    D

    The plan is to wake up 'cause time reveals

    All this hate can't forever last
    G
    D

    All my ghetto heroes in Heaven,

    it's like you right here and never passed

    D

    Hoping I reach the world
    A

    leaders and win
    D

    Ain't nothing without struggle,
    G

    listen up, it's critical
    D

    We used to fear arms,

    now the weapons are chemical

    In Hip- Hop, the weapons are lyrical

    To be the best you challenge the best,

    then the blessings are spiritual
    Em
    G

    Top of the world for

    the kid and unless

    Popping any rapper's head off his
    Em

    shoulders no contest
    G

    I know the Most High hear me,

    so fly you can't near me

    You scared of a mirror,

    G

    Em

    • 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.
