Strong Island easy guitar chords by 
Rakim
N/A•
Verse 1
Fm
[Rakim]
One two
Yeah, yeah,
"Rough enough to break New York
from Long Island"
Yeah it's the God baby,
Long Island's own,
Barbarian of the microphone,
"Rough enough to break
New York from Long Island"
It's for y'all niggas
Verse 2
Fm
And the streets just a couple
of miles East of Mecca
Where peeps touch nothing but style
heat and cheddar
Compete with ya livelihood
to eat better
And ain't nothing sweet but the ladies
who speak wetta
With a torn smile,
trying to get my song on file
It's on now,
the whole town done gone wild
Kick rhymes off my heartbeat as
a unborn child
Then developed a strong
style on Long Isle
Won't be long now,
I started rhyming young
I designed for fun,
knowing my time would come
I started,
paying dues DJ'in with crews
Learning the inner city rules,
conveying the news
Soon as the jam start the man's
art'll jam parks
Slam so hard it remains a landmark
The rhyme that I'm styling,
smooth as a violin
But "Rough enough to break New York
Verse 3
from Long Island"
Fm
("Rough enough to break New York
from Long Island"(
Like any G.O.D., loose on a spree
for new degrees
Things to do and see
until nothing is new to me
A true MC usually be into a breeze
And I can still see New York
City through the trees
My advance slams put
you outside looking in
Or the other way around, that depends,
look again
Took a pen so you could zero
in on my book of gems
It extends from the Hamptons
to Brook- lyn
Through every hoodie in town,
to learn the Boogie Down
Til every DJ around,
wanted to put me down
Rhymes got rougher til I was
ready to blast off
And harass all from Suffolk
County to Nassau
Where we keep the money piling,
keep the honies smiling
Keep the heater just in case
kids start whyling
The rhyme that I'm styling,
smooth as a violin
"Rough enough to break New York
Verse 4
from Long Island"
Fm
("Rough enough to break New
York from Long Island)
Verse 5
Fm
Grew up in Wyndanch, formerly
known as Crime- Danch
Me and my mans we travel
lands to find jams
Where violence usually ends in sirens
By all means, we all fiend for finance
We make cash on the street
called straight path
We take class,
build with the Gods with great math
Everyday true to the street,
and never fronted
Along the way,
learned from the best that ever done it
Being exposed to life's
highs and lows
Got my flows ready for shows,
I'm ready for the pros
I put it on a tape and then the city I tested
Then on the radio the are's requested
Now the whole world's whyling, all
the girls smiling
You know, it's on,
soon as they let the crowd in
The rhyme that I'm styling,
smooth as a violin
"Rough enough to break New York
from Long Island"
Verse 6
Fm
Word up.. I want to give a big up to Long Island,
stomping grounds, for real
("Rough enough to break New
York from Long Island")
Crime- Danch, one love baby,
word up
("Rough enough to break
New York from Long Island")
I want to give a crazy shout out to
all the DJ's back in the day
Who used to let me smoke they microphones,
ya know what I mean?
Big up to DJ Maniac, DJ Teddy Tuff,
and DJ Cool Breeze
("Rough enough to break New York
from Long Island")
Word up
Verse 7
Fm
("Rough enough to break New
Outro 1
York from Long Island")

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
Lynae T
“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
