Verse 1

Em

Well goodness gracious,

let me just take this

Time out to pull a rhyme out,

and update this

For you and yours, simply because

Some MC's have luck but suck

So I pluck em like feathers on

the back of a chicken

Cause I'm mad like a pit when my

man says, "sick 'em"

Positive is the mindstate, but it could

still mean that

I will kick a ill, malicious like mean rap
Am

Suckers they forced me,
F

to knock em all out and
Am

They think they know things,
F

like what I'm about and
Em
Am
F

They try to ana lyze criticize scandalize
Am

The outcome is death,
F

don't ask me to sympathize

Realize, that I'm not to be played with
Am

I'll flip so fast,
Em

you won't know I'm the same kid
Am

I'm tired and fed,
F

with all the weak stuff said
Am

All the phony- baloney,
Em

that went out like Pro- Keds
Am

You've got no leads,
F

so you shoot blanks

It's me the crowd thanks as

I step to the top ranks
Em
Am

Bankin my money,
F

and investin it wisely
Am

Snatchin up chumps when they try
Em

to sneak by me
A

I'm the dominant one,
F

call me the prominent one

And as I'm speakin I'll be

bombin the dumb
Am

Deaf and blind cause I was
F

born with a sharp mind
Em
D
Em

Eatin MC's with ease like it's lunchtime

Or crunchtime, when they get

done without warning

I'll bust that butt from nighttime

til morning

Your song's boring,

and so I'm scoring

Much points cause when

it's time to throw joints

I cause havoc,

the mic I grab is like savage

I invade the stage, and make you get off

The force is like a three- eight,

blowin your head off

And that's just in case you might

be wearin a vest

Cause you're simply a pest in this mess

I suggest you
C

Am
Em
Verse 2


Don't ever sleep son,
A
F

peep one or two of these lines here
Em

Arranged by a great brain,
F

delivering rhymes clear
Em
Am
F

And concise with a nice dope voice and
Em
D
Em

Killin the fakes like a taste
F

of some poison
D
F

Punks are thinkin they're alla that,

their voices are all flat

They're findin their names,

in a Wack Rapper's Almanac

Me follow that hollow crap, no way Jose
D

I'll seek out a better sound,
Em
F

to somethin Premier plays
Em

Days will go by,

and soon you'll know why

MC's like me will rise

like the Enterprise

Starship, headin straight

for the target

Destination, a place where no perpetration
Am

Is per mitted,
F

the Guru is with it to explain
A

How some MC's are scared to
Em
F

ride on a Four train
Em
F

Or any other train in the city,

for that matter
Em

Playin a role that they stole like a batter
F

But I know they ain't so

I'll paint the real picture
Em
A

My vocals go solo and like
Em
F
Am

a bolo I'll hitcha

Square in your face I'll crack
F

your ribs and your chest

Cause you thought your off-

brand jam was the best
Em

You fessed cause you guessed people

would be impressed
C

I'm gonna bust that bubble on the double
F
Em

Em
Am

Sit back and reflect,
F

ponder and chill out
Am
F

Rhymes like daggers make blood spill out
Am

But you can't blame me, for
F

bringin disaster
Am

With all these ducks,
F

claimin that they're the masters
Am

Only thing they mastered,
F

is how to get wacker

As I roll uphill, they roll downhill faster
Em

Now they're wondering

how they lost their touch
Em

Wanna buy my rhymes but

mine cost too much

I'm the innovative one,

call me the creative one

And I won't stop til the job is done
Em

All the slobs just run when

I come to get some

Cause they know better,
Em

than to challenge this go- getter
Am

They get bust you can trust
F

Am

Booty- ass rapper get win
Em

s against me?
A
F

I guarantee that I won't act friendly
Am

Cause crabs have a nerve
F

and deserve to get whipped on

Their girls get kissed on,
F

while they get flipped on
Em
A

I slaughter and slay,
Em
F

or slap em up quick

Cause the lyrics they kick make
F

me seriously sick
Em

No substance, no value,

but nevertheless

  • 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 🙂

  • 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.
