    Verse 1
    Uh, 


    Yeah, 

    Somalia 

    Verse 2
    Yeah, 
    I spit 

    it 
    for 
    my 
    block, 

    It's 
    an 
    ode, 
    admit 
    it. 

    Here 
    the city 
    code 
    is lock 
    and 
    load 

    Any 
    minute 
    is 
    rock 
    and roll 

    And 
    you 
    rock 
    and roll, 

    And 
    feel 
    your 
    soul 
    leavin'. 

    It's just 
    the wrong 
    dance 

    That'll 
    leave 
    you 
    not 
    breathin'. 

    I'm 
    not 
    particularly 
    proud 

    Of this 
    predicament 
    but, 

    I'm 
    born 
    and bred 

    In 
    this 
    tenement, 
    I'm 
    sentimental, 
    What?! 

    Plus 
    it's 
    only 
    right 
    to 

    represent 
    my 
    hood 

    And what 
    not. 

    So 
    I'm 
    about 
    to 
    do 
    it in 
    the 
    music, 

    in 
    the 
    movies. 

    Cut 
    to 
    the 
    chase 
    pan 
    across 

    to 
    the face 

    I'm right 
    there. 

    Freeze 
    frame 
    on the 
    street 
    name 

    Oops 
    wait 
    minute, 

    This 
    is 
    where 
    the 
    streets 
    have 
    no 
    name 

    And 
    the drain 
    of 
    sewage. 

    You 
    can 
    see 
    it in 
    this 
    boy 

    how 
    the 
    hate 
    is 
    brewin' 

    Cause 
    when 
    his 
    tummy 
    tucks 
    in 

    Fuck 
    the 
    pain 
    is 
    fluid. 

    So 
    what 
    difference 
    does 
    it 
    make, 

    Entertaining 
    threw 
    it. 

    Some 
    get 
    high 
    mixing 
    coke 
    and gun 
    powder, 

    sniffin'. 

    She 
    got 
    gun 
    but 
    could 
    have 

    been 
    a model 
    or 
    physi
    cian. 

    Verse 3
    So 
    what 
    you 
    know 
    bout 
    the 

    pirates 
    terrorize 
    the 
    ocean. 

    To 
    never 
    know 
    simple 
    day 

    without 
    big 
    commotion. 

    It 
    can't 
    be 
    healthy 
    just 
    to 
    live 

    with 
    a such 
    steep 
    emotion. 

    And 
    when 
    try 
    and 
    sleep, 

    see 
    coffins 

    closin'. 
    (Repeat) 

    Yeah, 
    Yeah, 

    Verse 4
    We 
    used 
    to 

    take 
    barb 
    wire 

    Mold 
    them around 
    discarded 
    bike 
    tires. 

    Roll 
    em down 
    the hill 
    in foot 
    blazin'. 

    Now 
    that 
    was 
    our 
    version 

    of mountain 
    bike 
    racing 

    Damn! 

    Do you 
    see 
    why 
    it's 
    amazing, 

    When 
    someone 
    comes 
    out 

    of such 
    dire 
    situ
    ation 

    And 
    learns 
    the 
    English 
    language, 

    Just 
    to share 
    his 
    obser
    vation! 

    Probably 
    get 
    Grammy without 

    grammar 
    education. 

    So 
    fuck 
    you school 
    and fuck 

    you 
    immigration! 

    And 
    all 
    of 
    you 
    who thought 
    wouldn't 

    amount 
    to 
    constipation. 

    And 
    now 
    I'm 
    here 
    without 
    the 

    slightest 
    fear 
    and preservation, 

    They 
    love 
    me 
    in the 
    slums 
    and 
    in 

    the native 
    reservations. 

    The world 
    is 
    a ghetto 
    with 

    ministerin' 
    deprivation. 

    My 
    mommy 
    didn't 
    raise 
    no 

    fool 
    did 
    she 
    hooyo? 

    I promise 
    I would 
    get 
    it 
    and 

    remain 
    strictly 
    loyal. 

    Cause 
    when 
    they 
    get 
    it 
    then 

    they 
    let 
    it 
    all 
    switch 
    and 
    spoil. 

    But 
    just 
    illuminated 
    it 
    like 
    kitchen 
    foil. 

    A lot 
    of main 
    stream 
    niggas 
    is 

    yappin' 
    about 
    yappin' 

    A lot 
    of underground 
    niggas 
    is 

    rappin' 
    about 
    rappin'. 

    just 
    wanna 
    tell 
    you 
    what's 

    really 
    crackalackan 

    Before 
    the tears 
    came 
    down 

    this 
    is 
    what 
    happened. 

    Verse 5
    So 
    what 
    you 
    know 
    bout 
    the 

    pirates 
    terrorize 
    the 
    ocean. 

    To 
    never 
    know 
    simple 
    day 

    without 
    big 
    commotion. 

    It 
    can't 
    be 
    healthy 
    just 
    to 
    live 

    with 
    a such 
    steep 
    emotion. 

    And 
    when 
    try 
    and 
    sleep, 

    Outro 1
    see 
    coffins 
    closin'. [Repeat: x2]

      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 🙂

      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.
