Hutt, so don't say nothing.
Am

Yo, yo, I am the man called

Scorpio, the one that's seen

and never heard.
G

But all my sons just runnin' they mouth,

so it's time for
Am

Daddy to speak his words.

You see the babies crawlin' by all the

MCs, and I look good.

And they are ugly while they all get together

sayin' I'm not cool.

The girls is out, bein' my fool.
G
Am

Cause I'm the first attractive, exotic male

To walk around town

with beads in his hair

To be stopped on the street

by the people I meet
G

Saying, where you get your beads?

Cause you look so sweet
Am

Hey, for any fellas that think I'm gay

I pull five girls right in your face

I'm not saying that I'm

the playboy king

Cause I didn't make it up, but I made it swing
G

I spend more on spice
Am

than they do on clothes

So how could they front that?

They got gusto

They just barely make enough

for a gram of dough

To start hoping and praying for

their next show
A
Am

But a brother like me could rock it all day

I'm much smarter than that,

in my own way

And you know what I'm

Headcracker

I've been rocking that party

eight years of my life
G

Got shot with a gun, stabbed with a knife
Am
G

Had to pay my dues, had to learn the rules
Am

Had to separate the smart

from all of the fools

People talk behind my back

But they make a clear path

when I step in their place

I can make them clap their hands,

stomp their feet

Make them party to the rhythm

Make them shiver and shake

just like an earthquake
B
Am

Make the people dance without a mistake
G

Get a big kick out of time, my tits to pace

Make them hip to the hop

and all that stuff

Cause the other

MCs know I'm just too much
G

My eyes are brown, my legs are bold

I can tell a
Am

MC right where to go

I can get a young lady with the
G

wave in my hand
Am

I can stretch out long

like a rubber band

Say it one for the treble

and two for the bass

Cause I'm cowboy to put a smile on your

You know
G
Am

K is for cool and run through my veins I got,

that's what a bud, so I show no shame

Intelligence is next and that stands for

and you cannot buy
A
Am

N is for knight in armor that shines,

slayin' other emcees with fistin' style rhymes

And

my name is

King
Cm

Lou, I got a master plan
G
Am

And from the shores of

Paris to the streets of

Maine, there's a certain
G

reputation I got to maintain
Am

I got to write good rhymes and say them well,

and if I don't do that, I know I'll fail

There's a few things I
G
Am

use to get me over
G

That all fit together like a
Am

four -leaf clover

First and most important's visionality
G

You gotta be innovative,
Am

versatile as can be, huh

Second on my list,

you got to know how to flake

You got to make the crowd yell,

cause a major earthquake

Make them stop on the floor

and scream for more
B

From the very first minute that you
Am

walk in the door, huh

Movin' right along to the end of the line

You gotta get a flop, girl, on your divine
B
Am
Bbm

Have her come to your shows,
Am

Lookin' sharp as it's on,

on the stem of the rose

Belly, belly, bell is potent
B
Am

Super high -powered to make the other

MCs feel devoured

Taught all the
B
Am

MCs the birds and the bees

But they still can't get no young lady

But I'm the legend in leather,

If you can't see that,

I always wear black and I always will

  • 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.
