  • Verse 1
    I put 
    my heart 
    and soul 
    in this 
    game, 

    I'm feelin' 
    drained 

    Unappreciated, 
    unalle
    viated 

    Tired 
    of comin' 
    up 
    short, 

    fuck 
    abbreviated 

    Want 
    my whole 
    name 
    spelled 
    out, 

    my own 
    pain 
    spilled 
    out 

    No 
    pain, 
    no 
    gain, 
    I blow 
    brains, 

    Cobain 

    Throw flames, 
    Liu 
    Kang, 
    the coach 
    ain't help 
    out, 

    so 
    I call 
    my own 
    shots 

    I'm David 
    Blaine, 
    I'm 
    breakin' 
    out of 
    my own 
    box, 

    you stay 
    the same 

    But 
    homie if 
    you change, 

    may 
    you change 
    for 
    the better 

    Back 
    when Martin 
    King 
    had 

    a thing 
    for 
    Coretta 

    Wonder if 
    she seen 
    all 
    the dreams 

    he 
    was dreamin' 

    Did 
    she 
    have a clue 
    of all 

    the schemes 
    he 
    was 
    schemin' 

    Still 
    loved 
    him just 
    enough 
    to put 

    up with 
    the cheatin' 

    Months go 
    by 
    and only 

    see 
    him for 
    a weekend 

    I say 
    a prayer, 
    hope 
    my girl 
    ain't 
    leavin' 

    We 
    all got 
    angels, 
    we 
    all got 
    demons 

    As 
    you fall 
    through 
    the club 

    Bad 
    bitches 
    down 
    to do 
    all 
    the 
    above 

    Money 
    comes 
    fast 
    so bein' 

    hungry 
    don't 
    last 

    'Til 
    you look 
    in 
    the mirror 
    and 

    you 
    saw 
    who 
    you was 

    Cole 
    World, 

    it couldn't 
    be 
    more 
    clearer 

    The time 
    is 
    now, 

    couldn't 
    be 
    more 
    her- 
    er 

    My reign 
    gonna 
    last 
    like 
    3- 4 eras 

    Say 
    hello 
    to 
    the real, 

    I can 
    be 
    your 
    hero 

    Verse 2
    Hey, I'ma 
    put 
    us all 
    on the 
    map 

    Gone 
    and 
    I ain't 
    lookin' 
    back 

    know 
    they gon' 
    feel 
    it like 

    they tank 
    on 

    I promise 
    baby, 

    you can 
    bet 
    the bank 
    on 
    me 

    'Cause can't 
    nobody 
    tell me 
    what 

    I ain't 
    gonna 
    be 
    no 
    more 

    You 
    thinking 
    I'ma 
    fall, 

    don't 
    be 
    so 
    sure 

    I wish somebody 
    made 
    guidelines 

    On how to 
    get 
    up off 
    the sidelines 

    Verse 3
    Up 
    in first 
    class, 

    laugh 
    even though 
    it's not 
    funny 

    See 
    a white 
    man 
    wonder 
    how 

    the fuck 
    I got 
    money 

    While 
    he sit 
    in coach, 

    hate 
    to see 
    me walk 
    past 
    'em 

    Young, black, 
    pants 
    sag, 

    headphones 
    blastin' 

    Know what 
    he askin', 

    "how did 
    he 
    manage?" 

    "With all 
    the cards 
    against 
    him, he 

    used them 
    to his 
    advantage!" 

    Slang 
    we 
    be speakin' 
    probably 

    soundin' 
    like 
    Spanish 

    Then I fuck 
    they head
    up when 

    nigga 
    show 
    manners 

    Some New 
    York niggas 
    thought 
    it was 

    funny 
    callin' 
    us 
    'Bama 

    Laughin' at 
    the grammar 
    'cause 

    they didn't 
    understand 
    us 

    Must've 
    thought 
    we slow, 

    but 
    little 
    do 
    they know 

    I came 
    up in here 
    to take 
    ad
    vantage 

    of 
    that 
    shit 
    y'all take 
    for granted 

    Opportunity 
    that I 
    would kill 
    for 

    Lookin' 
    at 
    rappers 
    like "what the 

    fuck 
    you got 
    a deal 
    for" 

    When I 
    was ass 
    out 
    with my 

    funds 
    low 

    It's nice 
    to know 
    I had 
    the whole 

    world 
    at my 
    front 
    door 

    Verse 4
    Hey, I'ma 
    put 
    us all 
    on the 
    map 

    Gone 
    and 
    I ain't 
    lookin' 
    back 

    know 
    they gon' 
    feel 
    it like 

    they tank 
    on 

    I promise 
    baby, 

    you 
    can bet 
    the bank 
    on 
    me 

    'Cause 
    can't 
    nobody 
    tell 
    me what 

    I ain't 
    gonna 
    be 
    no 
    more 

    You 
    thinking 
    I'ma 
    fall, 

    don't 
    be 
    so 
    sure 

    I wish 
    somebody 
    made 
    guidelines 

    On how to 
    get up 
    off the 
    side
    lines 

    Verse 5
    made 
    it to the 
    rack, 

    even 
    though they 
    tried 
    to box 
    me 
    out 

    I got 
    the key 
    to the 
    game, 

    they tried 
    to 
    lock me 
    out 

    But 
    what they 
    don't 
    understand 

    is this 
    is all 
    plan 

    It's 
    a bigger 
    picture 
    and 
    you can't 

    photoshop 
    me out 

    Some nigga 
    ask 
    me why 

    Jay never 
    shout 
    me 
    out 

    Like 
    I'm supposed 
    to give 
    a fuck

    Don't 
    you know 
    that I be 
    out 
    in 
    France 

    Where 
    the fans 
    throw 
    they hands 

    like 
    Pacquiao 

    Not 'cause 
    my looks, 

    'cause 
    my hooks 
    could knock 
    Rocky 
    out 

    And 
    my lines 
    is designed 

    from 
    the heart 

    Young 
    Simba 
    been 
    a lion 
    from the 
    start 

    Dumb 
    nigga's, 

    y'all 
    been lyin 
    from 
    the start 

    My life's 
    like 
    a movie, 
    truly 

    And these 
    niggas 
    is 
    dyin' 
    for 
    the part 

    But, 
    you'll never 
    play 
    me like 

    LeBron 
    vs. 
    Jordan 

    Twenty 
    years, 
    wonder 
    who they 

    gon' say 
    was more 
    important 

    Both 
    changed 
    the game, 

    came 
    through 
    and made 
    a lane 

    Who's 
    to 
    say 
    that who's 
    greater, 
    all 
    we 
    know, 

    they ain't 
    the same 

    Verse 6
    Hey, I'ma 
    put 
    us all 
    on the 
    map 

    Gone 
    and 
    I ain't 
    lookin' 
    back 

    know 
    they gon' 
    feel 
    it like 

    they tank 
    on 

    I promise 
    baby, 

    you 
    can bet 
    the bank 
    on 
    me 

    'Cause 
    can't 
    nobody 
    tell 
    me what 

    I ain't 
    gonna 
    be 
    no 
    more 

    You 
    thinking 
    I'ma 
    fall, 

    don't 
    be 
    so 
    sure 

    I wish somebody 
    made 
    guidelines 

    On how to 
    get 
    up off 
    the 
    sidelines

      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!!!

      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.
