    Married

    Tony?" 

    "Hey 
    man,

    it easy, 

    hanging 
    out 
    with 
    the 
    lady" 

    "Alright, 

    God 
    bless 
    you, take 
    it 
    easy now" 

    You 
    be 
    like

    Tony?" 

    "Hey

    Yeah,

    my 
    space 

    Lord 
    ain't 
    enough 
    time 
    to chase 

    All 
    these 
    dreams, 

    mean 
    got 
    no 
    time 
    to 
    wait 

    Love 
    my

    but I 
    told 
    her 
    straight 

    up 
    "don't

    Stumble 
    home 
    late, 
    I'm 
    drunk, 

    we 
    fucked 
    then 
    made 
    up 

    Used 
    to living 
    free 
    as 
    a bird, 

    but 
    now 
    I'm 
    laid 
    up 

    Feeling 
    like 
    a nigga 
    got 
    hand
    cuffs 
    on 

    How 
    the 
    fuck 
    did 
    my 
    life 
    become 

    damn 
    love

    She 
    ride 
    for 
    nigga 
    and 

    she

    for 
    him 

    But 
    nigga

    a nigga 

    Ride 
    through 
    the 
    streets 
    with 

    freaks 
    and real 
    niggas 

    She never 
    understand 
    what 

    it's 
    like 
    to be 
    man 

    Knowing 
    when 
    you 
    look 
    inside 

    yourself 
    you see 
    nigga 

    And 
    you 
    don't wanna

    But 
    you 
    too 
    young 
    for

    And 
    maybe 
    you 
    can thug 
    it out, 

    learn 
    what

    love 
    about 

    When 
    you 
    can't 
    live 
    with 
    her 

    and 
    you 
    can't 
    live 
    without 

    Oh

    Basis, 
    my 
    manager 
    back 

    in the 
    days 
    was 
    ra
    cist 

    I was 
    a young 
    boy, 

    passing 
    skates 
    and tucking 
    laces 

    Old 
    perverted 
    white 
    man 
    who 

    told 
    me: 
    "Jermaine 

    It's all 
    pink 
    on 
    the 
    inside, 

    fuck 
    what color 
    their 
    face 
    is" 

    Wise 
    words 
    from 
    an 
    indecent 
    man 

    Made 
    me 
    reflect 
    on the 
    times 
    when 

    we was 
    three- 
    fifths 
    of them 

    In 
    chains 
    and 
    powerless, 

    brave 
    souls 
    reduced 
    to cowardice 

    Slaving 
    in 
    the baking 
    sun 
    for 
    hours 
    just 

    To 
    see 
    the 
    master 
    creep 
    into 
    the shack 

    where 
    your 
    lady 
    at 

    9 months 
    later 
    got 
    a baby, 
    that's 

    Not 
    quite 
    what 
    you 
    ex
    pec
    ted, 

    but 
    you 

    Refuse 
    to 
    neglect 
    it, 
    cause 
    you 

    Know 
    your 
    wifey 
    loves 
    you, 

    does 
    you 
    refuse 
    to 
    accept 
    it? 

    That's 
    that type 
    shit 
    that 
    tell 

    why my 
    granny 
    light- 
    skinned 

    Rich 
    white 
    man 
    rule 
    the 
    nation 
    still 

    Only 
    difference 
    is 
    we 
    all 
    slaves 
    now, 

    the 
    chains 
    still concealed 

    In 
    our thoughts, 

    if 
    follow 
    my 
    heart 
    to 
    save 
    myself 

    Could 
    run 
    away 
    from 
    50 mill 

    like 
    Dave 
    Chap
    pelle? 

    Verse 7
    You 
    know 

    Runaway, 
    runaway, 
    runaway, 

    runaway 

    I'm 
    holding 
    on 
    desperately 

    Runaway, 
    runaway, 

    run
    away, 
    runaway 

    Outro 1
    I'm 
    holding 
    on

      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 🙂

      "

      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.
