    (move backwards) 

    Marching with 
    some soldiers 
    here

    laughable 

    Why

    at all? 

    Why don't 
    you just 
    wrap 

    sandwiches 
    to earn 
    a capital? 

    When 
    half the shit

    you 

    couldn't 
    have 
    my shit 

    Back

    My 
    skills 
    so 
    bright 
    when I spit 

    my lips 
    glow 

    Verse 3

    Verse 4

    Kids

    Lee 

    Walking 
    through 
    the fire 

    We came 
    to 
    claim 
    our victory 

    And I roll 
    with 
    a harder 
    pen 

    I might 
    start 
    a trend 

    Beat 
    down 
    and whack 
    MCs, coz you 

    know there's 
    a lot 
    of them 

    Wait

    my shit 
    crashes 

    Rip 
    asses 

    Women 
    who give 
    me 
    neck 

    suffer 
    from whiplashes 

    I 
    frighten 
    the masses 

    'Cause 
    I'm that 
    nasty 

    I heard 
    to get 
    a deal 
    you had 

    to give 
    lap 
    dances 

    This 
    shit 
    is serious 

    So

    records 
    back 
    like 
    a belly 
    button, 

    dirty 
    rutting 

    I got 
    stiff 
    neck 
    steady 

    nuttin' 
    it 
    aint nothing 

    I got 
    the track 
    laid 
    like 
    I'm fucking 

    The only 
    balls 
    you 
    got 
    is made 

    out 
    of cotton.

    Verse 6
    This is 
    what 
    you 
    waited 
    for 

    Glad 
    you stayed 
    the course 

    Coz 
    a lot 
    of rappers 
    is 
    getting 

    treated 
    like lady 
    whores 

    And 
    I don't like 
    Babylon 

    I 
    don't like 
    your song 

    I don't like 
    hearing 
    that 

    fake 
    accent 
    from Dylon 

    The 
    industry 
    commentator 

    Fuck 
    it I'm 
    a hater 

    My mind 
    is like 
    your life 
    straight 

    up cause 
    it's made 
    up 

    I'm 
    strolling 
    like 
    babies 
    with 
    big gats, 

    ladies 

    That 
    rock 
    more fellahs 
    than ten 

    thousand 
    daisies 

    Harder 
    than harboring 
    Bin Laden 
    inside 
    the bottom 

    compound 
    with Donald 
    Rumsfield and 
    Bush 
    blood 

    Moving 
    along 
    like 
    people 

    who don't 
    want 
    it 

    Even 
    if 
    I had 
    jewels 
    I'd be 

    the type 
    who don't 
    run 
    it 

    They call 
    me dusty 
    cause 
    my 

    feet have 
    been through 
    a lot 

    The 
    wisdom 
    of my survival 

    that's 
    just due 
    to a lie 

    So 
    I'm not 
    gonna sit 
    here 

    and whine 
    like 
    crushed 
    grapes 

    My 
    mind 
    leaves 
    you 

    speechless 
    like duct 
    tape.

      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.

      "

      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 🙂

      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.
