    Dm
    Am

    Uh
    Dm

    yeah
    Am

    See, this is what these mixtapes is all
    Em

    about

    Knah'msayin KaySlay?

    Talk to the people,
    G

    with no interruptions and interference
    Verse 2
    Em

    Put that mic down,

    admire the technique and tight tight sounds

    Of a Renagade, never been afraid,

    the time is right now

    Before I take my bow and finally allow
    G

    My love affair with rap to fade,

    I'll sink into the page
    Em

    Pleasure and the pain that came

    from rulin' the game

    And the half Dominican that

    gave me brains in the fast lane

    A seventeen-year reign,

    reign, simple and plain
    G

    When I ruled the rap game and all

    my peers sold cocaine
    Em

    One-three-two Uptown, Uptown,

    Uptown, when Rich Porter told me

    "See you can push a new car,

    it's different for a rap star"

    And AZ was givin' 50s to the homeless
    G

    They never bragged about it ? "L,
    Em

    we don't condone this"

    On the back of the bike with Alpo

    Doin' a buck down one-two-five,

    hopin' to to to stay alive
    Verse 3
    Em

    Favorite spot rooftop
    G

    Me and Big chuckle up when he was

    hittin' up "Juicy" and whatnot
    Em

    Damn, when Dapper

    Dan got shot up

    Before they made drops when we

    had to cut the top up

    Some cats neglected the

    fact that L was hot
    G

    Cause they warm and electin' me hot

    when I stepped in the spot
    Em

    Lyrically reppin' the block

    on Farmers to rock

    But my sex symbol status made me,

    corny to cop

    The microphone strategist ripped

    the apparatus
    G

    Left competition embarrassed
    Verse 4

    but I never held malice
    Em

    Kinda saw street literature

    Used to lose battles on purpose

    so these cats can dream more

    I want to see y'all shine

    without the use of a nine
    G

    You might see a nigga,

    I see a black Einstein
    Em

    A diamond in the rough,

    he's remidin' me as tough

    Young girls takin' X,

    she's blinded by the stuff

    Oh my God, where did we go wrong?
    G

    Are you doin' what you're doin

    'cause I ruined you with songs?
    Em

    God forgive me,

    I never knew my power to devour the demons

    Y'all know the Devil be schemin'

    It's a manifestation of the

    pain of a nation
    G

    That makes materialism the only

    thing we're chasin'
    Em

    The real gangstas never

    talked to me tough

    Never told me they was hard,

    or claimed to be my God

    When I first found the courage

    to bounce up outta Queens
    G

    And saw Big Dave comin' up out

    the store with money machines
    Em

    My only dream was to

    rock mics in the spotlight

    Joint bumpin' on Marley

    Show all night

    Whoever thought that I would

    be a movie star?
    G

    A rap icon, chokin' the

    game like a python
    Em

    Russell turned the hype on,

    exploded like a pipe bomb

    Just because a young boy,

    turned the mic on

    Still admire skills and cats that are ill
    G

    With lyri-kills, nowadays the chorus
    Em

    is payin' the bill

    The black man found

    a way outta the hood

    Now it's slaves to mayor's

    not all good

    Don't let 'em take our music

    and plagiarize the game
    G

    Then you call up and request it and

    pretend it's really flames?
    Em

    The tip of the iceberg, I'll hold my piece

    In the meantime, live smart,

    watch out for the beast

    Lyrical Picasso flow masterpiece
    G

    Like Michaelangelo or

    Rembrant, you know?
    Em

    Si palare poco Italiano

    LL bravisimo, grazie, prego!
    G

    Más mejor siempre mi amigo
    Em

    Pero, music is muy muy duro

    Tú sabe, que tú quieres es

    no problema

    Te quiero mucho,

    yo comprendo your dilemma

    Sumer's comin', it won't
    G

    always be winter

    I pray to God He forgives me,

    I'm a sinner
    Em
    Verse 5


    That's a little message

    All the brothers and sisters out there

    Y'all be strong
    G

    Keep your dreams flowin'

    baby
    Em

    KaySlay I'm out for presidents

    to represent me

    But I want to get 'em the right way,
    Am
    Em

    y'know?
    G

    • 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.
