    Verse 3
    Huh-huh,

    go, 

    you know 
    that I'm 
    the rebel 

    Throwing 
    out 
    the wicked 
    like 

    God 
    did the 
    Devil 

    Funky 
    like 
    your grandpa's 
    drawers, 

    don't

    me 

    We work 
    for 
    the paper, 

    so 
    there'll 
    never 
    be 
    freebie 

    Lyrics are 
    abundant 
    cause 

    we got 
    it by 
    the mass 

    Egos 
    are all 
    idle 
    'cause 
    the 

    music 
    is 
    the task 

    Valen
    zuela 
    on 
    the pitch, 

    curveball, catch 
    it 

    I think 
    I got 
    it locked, 

    just 
    smooth 
    while 
    I latch 
    it 

    Right, 
    now 
    I must 
    move 
    with 

    the quickness 

    Here comes 
    Shaheed so 

    we must 
    bear 
    the witness 

    Verse 4
    Stir 
    it 
    up! 
    Stir 
    it up! 
    Stir

    Verse 6
    MCs like 
    to meddle, 

    but here's 
    my proposition 

    I let my 
    lyrics 
    flow, 

    and juxt your 
    whole position 

    I'm 
    radical 
    with this 
    like 
    the man 

    this song 
    is after 

    Yo Tip, 
    settle 
    down, 

    what's 
    the reason 
    for 
    the laughter? 

    Verse 7
    really 
    can't 
    say, 

    I guess 
    I laugh 
    to keep 
    from crying 

    So much 
    going 
    on, 

    people 
    killing, 
    people 
    dying 

    But 
    won't dwell 
    on that, 

    I think 
    I'll elevate 
    my mental 

    Thanks 
    for these 
    bars 
    on 

    the 
    Biko instrumental 

    Verse 8
    Yo, 
    I'll take 
    it back, 

    I'm 
    the Indian 
    giver 

    MCs take 
    notes 
    as I 
    stand 
    and 
    deliver 

    Per
    cussion 
    isn't 
    less, 

    D's 
    wear the 
    vest 

    Why 
    they dodging 
    bullets, 

    you 
    should be 
    dodging 
    Quest 

    Don't 
    get me 
    wrong, 

    violence 
    is not 
    our forte 

    I just 
    like to 
    rhyme, 

    kick 
    the 
    lyric 
    skills 
    like Pele 

    Tip 
    educate 
    'em, 

    my rhymes 
    are strictly 
    taboo 

    Fill 
    'em with some 
    fantasies 

    and I'll 
    look out 
    like Tattoo 

    Verse 9
    Okay, 
    am recog
    nizing 

    that the 
    voice inside 
    my 
    head 

    Is 
    urging 
    me to 
    be my
    self but 

    never 
    follow 
    someone 
    else 

    Because 
    opinions 
    are like 
    voices, 

    we all 
    have 
    a different 
    kind 

    So 
    just clean 
    out 
    all of 
    your ears, 

    these are my 
    views 
    and you will 
    find 

    That 
    we 
    revolutionize 
    over the 

    kick 
    and 
    the snare 

    The ghetto 
    vocal
    ist 
    is on 

    state-wide 
    tear 

    tear 

    Soon 
    to be the 
    continent 
    and then 

    the freaking 
    globe 

    There's room 
    for 
    it all 
    as 

    we mingle 
    at 
    the 
    ball 

    We welcome 
    compet
    ition 
    cos 
    it doesn't 

    make 
    one lazy 
    or worn 

    We gotta 
    work 
    hard, 

    you know 
    the damn 
    card 

    Try 
    to be the 
    phattest is the 

    level 
    that 
    we strive 

    Try 
    to be the 
    phattest also 
    to 
    stay 
    alive

      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.
