    Pull

    Until 
    the day 
    die 
    from 
    grimace 
    overload 

    It's 
    shock (it's shock) 

    treatment 
    offered 
    by 
    the weekend 

    this 
    still 
    be 
    a getaway, 

    let's 
    display 
    the sequence 
    it goes: 

    One 
    for 
    the heartless 
    thievery 
    turning 

    my 
    guardian 
    angel 
    harpless 

    And the 
    rest 
    to 
    sweep 
    the mess 
    under 

    the 
    carpet 
    (under the 
    carpet) 

    I drag 
    yellow 
    taxi 
    meter 

    behind 
    every 
    measure 

    And 
    charge 
    cats 
    for labeling 

    me 
    shepherd 

    That'll 
    be 
    Six 
    Fifty 
    plus 
    tip 
    darlin, 

    take 
    cash, 
    credit, 
    check, 
    money- 
    order, 

    gold 
    and 
    cigar
    ette 
    cartons 

    Huh, 
    got 
    caught 
    up 
    in 
    the universe 

    tryin 
    to 
    zoom 
    in on 
    stardom 

    Forgot 
    the 
    passion 
    plus 
    the hatred, 

    both 
    were based 
    in Carbon 

    Next 
    time 
    you 
    want 
    to be 
    hero 
    try 

    saving 
    somethin 
    other 
    than 
    hip- 
    hop 

    And 
    maybe 
    hip- 
    hop'll save 

    you 
    from 
    the pit- 
    stop 

    Kill 
    em 
    all, 
    yield 

    (naw man 
    It 
    wasn't 
    me it 
    was 

    Holden 
    Caulfield 
    brother 

    I just 
    read 
    and pulled 
    the 
    trigger) 

    Oh God, 
    well 
    leave 
    me to 
    tiptoe 

    past 
    the pearly 
    gates 

    capture 
    the halo, 
    jet 
    back 
    to 
    base, 

    step 
    past 
    the chase 

    the bad 
    taste 
    of jet- 
    lag 

    and 
    weight 
    slackers 

    There ain't 
    nothin 
    broken, 

    where 
    you 
    at? 

    The 
    pistons 
    pump 
    perfect, 
    where 
    you at? 

    The 
    bass 
    tone 
    is 
    Merlin, 
    where 
    you 
    at? 

    This 
    service 
    is 
    urgent 

    workin 
    surgeons 

    Purging 
    formulas 
    lookin 
    for 
    an 
    improper 

    cause 
    is 
    whack 

    (Chorus 2x) 

    What are you 
    saving, 

    honestly? (honestly, honestly) 


    What 
    are you 
    saving, 

    honestly? (honestly, 
    no 
    honestly) 

    What 
    are you 
    saving, 

    honestly? 
    (damn) 

    Promise 
    me you 
    gon 
    shut 
    the 

    fuck 
    up 
    and 
    recognize 

    What 
    you 
    holdin 
    ain't 
    really 
    broken? 

    I don't 
    flick 
    neeedles like 
    my 

    sick 
    friend 
    (friend) 

    I don't 
    march 
    like 
    Beetle 
    Bailey 
    through 

    a quick 
    trend 
    (trend) 

    I don't 
    frequent 
    church's 
    steeples 

    on my 
    weekend 
    (end) 

    And 
    don't comment 
    if 
    you 

    formulate 
    a weak 
    Zen. 

    All 
    I ever 
    really 
    wanted 
    was 
    a getaway 

    I'ma 
    take 
    a chance 
    by 
    letting 
    a brook 

    slide 
    for 
    what I got 
    in my 
    hands 

    I can 
    not 
    agree to 
    follow 
    a leader 

    while 
    on the 
    borderline 

    A war 
    without 
    a reason 
    for the 

    Brady 
    hates 
    gore 

    Bring 
    out your 
    dead 
    we can 

    put 
    em in 
    a pile 

    And 
    burn 
    em with the 
    novels 

    for the 
    kids 
    then to 
    admire 

    KIll the 
    ones 
    that 
    speak 

    from 
    a different 
    life 

    Brewin 
    other 
    killer 
    noise 

    makin 
    the sentiment... 

    Okay, 
    welcome 
    to the 

    Kamikaze bottle 
    rocket 
    cockpit 

    Live 
    by 
    the 
    icy 
    cold 
    hand 
    of 
    bad 

    intention 
    youth 
    blender 

    Oh 
    yeah 
    I'll 
    let 
    God 
    warm 

    the bench 
    for now 
    but 

    I'll ascend 
    to 
    spin 
    y'all 
    dizzy 

    (and for 
    the 
    record 
    I'm bringin 

    my 
    t.v. 
    with 
    me) 

    Yo, 
    let 
    the 
    commoners 
    speak 
    publicly 

    Then 
    disperse 
    eye 
    jammies for cats 

    that swear 
    by third 
    pupil 

    But 
    can't 
    see 
    past 
    the 
    loophole 

    Motherfucker, 

    my 
    word 
    is 
    born 
    like 
    Siamese 
    triplets 

    With

    Hey Mom, 
    I'ma 
    fix 
    without 
    my 

    probe 
    along 
    this 
    path 

    Once 
    my 
    shpeel's perfected 
    I'ma 

    save 
    you a 
    seat 
    in 
    the front

    Of

    With 
    a thousand 
    reasons 
    to end

    Gave

    Keep 
    me posted 
    as to 
    when 
    you 

    grasp 
    something 
    mature 
    to 

    sit 
    and sulk 
    about 
    mister, 

    and 
    I'll 
    consider 
    pickin 
    up your

    (Chorus 2x) 

    The 
    Authors, 

    they 
    ain't

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      "

      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.
