Verse 2
C
Yeah, I spit

It's an ode, I admit it.
G
Em
Here the city code is lock and load
Any minute is rock and roll
G
And you rock and roll,
And feel your soul leavin'.
C
It's just the wrong dance
That'll leave you not breathin'.
I'm not particularly proud
Of this predicament but,
Em
I'm born and bred
In this tenement, I'm sentimental, What?!
G
Plus it's only right to
represent my hood
And what not.
C
So I'm about to do it in the music,
in the movies.
Cut to the chase pan across
G
to the face
Em
I'm right there.
G
Freeze frame on the street name
C
G
Oops wait a minute,
Em
This is where the streets have no name
G
C
And the drain of sewage.
G
You can see it in this boy
C
G
how the hate is brewin'
C
Cause when his tummy tucks in
G
Fuck the pain is fluid.
Em
So what difference does it make,
Entertaining threw it.
G
Some get high mixing coke and gun powder,
C
sniffin'.
She got a gun but could have
G
C
been a model or physician.
Verse 3
C
So what you know bout the

pirates terrorize the ocean.
To never know a simple day

And when I try and sleep,
Em
G
C
I see coffins
closin'. (Repeat)
Yeah, Yeah,
Verse 4
C
We used to
take barb wire
G
Em
Mold them around discarded bike tires.
G
Roll em down the hill in foot blazin'.
Now that was our version
C
G
of mountain bike racing
C
Damn!
Do you see why it's amazing,
When someone comes out
G
Em
of such a dire situation
And learns the English language,
G
Em
Just to share his observation!
G
Probably get a Grammy without
a grammar education.
C
So fuck you school and fuck
you immigration!
And all of you who thought I wouldn't
amount to constipation.
G
Em
And now I'm here without the
slightest fear and preservation,
G
They love me in the slums and in
the native reservations.
C
The world is a ghetto with
ministerin' deprivation.
My mommy didn't raise no
Em
fool did she hooyo?
I promise I would get it and
Am
remain strictly loyal.
Em
G
Cause when they get it then
they let it all switch and spoil.
C
But I just illuminated it like kitchen foil.
A lot of main stream niggas is
G
Em
yappin' about yappin'
A lot of underground niggas is
G
Em
rappin' about rappin'.
G
I just wanna tell you what's
C

Before the tears came down
this is what happened.
Verse 5

So what you know bout the

It can't be healthy just to live
with a such steep emotion.

I see coffins closin'. [Repeat: x2]

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
