    Verse 1
    sit 
    back 
    with 
    this 
    pack 
    of 
    zig
    zags 

    and 
    this 
    bag 
    of 
    this 
    weed 

    It 
    gives 
    me 
    the 
    shit 
    needed 
    to 
    be 

    the 
    most 
    mean
    est 
    MC 
    on 
    this 
    earth 

    And 
    since 
    birth, 

    I've 
    been 
    cursed 
    with 
    this 
    curse 

    to 
    discurse 
    and 
    disperse 
    this 
    berserk 

    And 
    bizar
    re 
    shit 
    that 
    works 
    and 
    it 
    sells 

    and 
    it 
    helps 
    in 
    it
    self 

    To 
    relieve 
    all 
    this 
    tension, 

    dispensing 
    these 
    sentences 

    Getting 
    dis
    tressed 
    has 

    been 
    eating 
    me 

    recently 
    off 
    of 
    this 
    chest 

    And 
    rest 
    again 
    peace
    fully, 

    but 
    at 
    least 
    have 
    the 
    decency 
    in 
    you 

    To 
    leave 
    me 
    alone 

    when 
    you freaks 
    see 
    me 

    out 
    in 
    the 
    streets 

    When 
    I'm 
    eatin' 
    or 
    feedin' 
    my 
    daughter 

    to 
    not 
    come 
    and 
    speak 
    to 
    me 

    don't 
    know 
    you, 
    and 
    no, 

    don't 
    owe 
    you 
    motherfuckin' 
    thing 

    I'm 
    not 
    Mr. 
    Instinct, 

    I'm 
    not 
    what 
    your 
    friends 
    think 

    I'm 
    not 
    Mr. 
    Friendly, 
    can 
    be 
    prick 

    If 
    you 
    tempt 
    me, 
    my 
    tank 
    is 
    on 
    empty 

    No 
    patience 
    is 
    in 
    me 

    And 
    if 
    you 
    offend 
    me, 

    I'm 
    lift
    in' 
    you ten 
    feet 

    In 
    the 
    air, 
    don't 
    care 

    who 
    was 
    there 
    and 
    who 
    saw 
    me 

    Just 
    draw 
    you 
    or 
    call 
    you 
    lawyer 

    File 
    you 
    lawsuit, 

    I'll 
    smile 
    in 
    the 
    courtroom 

    When 
    we 
    buy 
    you 
    wardrobe, 

    I'm 
    tired 
    of 
    all 
    you 
    do 

    don't 
    mean 
    to 
    be mean, 

    but 
    that's 
    all 
    can 
    be 

    It's 
    just 
    me 
    and 
    am 

    whatever 
    you 
    say 
    am 

    If 
    wasn't, 
    then 
    why 
    would 
    say 
    am? 

    In 
    the 
    paper
    the 
    news, 
    every 
    day 
    am 

    Radi
    won't 
    even 
    play 
    my 
    jam 

    Cause 
    am 
    whatever 
    you 
    say 
    am 

    If 
    wasn't, 
    then 
    why 
    would 
    say 
    am? 

    In 
    the 
    paper
    the 
    news, 
    every 
    day 
    am 

    don't 
    know, 

    it's 
    just 
    the 
    way 
    am 

    Sometimes 
    just 
    feel 
    like 
    my 
    father, 

    hate 
    to 
    be 
    bothered 

    With 
    all 
    of this 
    nonsense 

    that's 
    constantly 

    Oh, 
    it's 
    this 
    lyrical 
    con
    tent 

    That's 
    so 
    guilty 
    conscious 

    That's 
    gotten 
    such 
    rotten 
    responses 

    And 
    all 
    of 
    this 
    controversy 
    circles 
    me 

    And 
    it 
    seems 
    like 
    the 
    media 

    imme
    diately 

    Points 
    finger 
    at 
    me 

    So 
    point 
    one 
    back 
    at 
    him 

    But 
    not 
    the 
    in
    dex 
    or 
    pinky 

    Or 
    the 
    ring 
    or 
    the 
    thumb 

    It's 
    the 
    one 
    you 
    put 
    up 

    When 
    you 
    don't 
    give 
    fuck 

    When 
    you 
    won't 
    just 
    put 
    up 

    With 
    the 
    bullshit 
    they 
    pour 

    Cause 
    they 
    full 
    of 
    shit 
    too, 

    when 
    dude's 
    get
    ting 
    bullied 

    and 
    shoots 
    up 
    your 
    school 

    And 
    they 
    blame 
    it 
    on 
    Maryland, 

    and 
    the 
    heroin, 

    where 
    were 
    the 
    parent
    s at? 

    And 
    look 
    where 
    it's 
    at, 
    middle 
    America, 

    now 
    it's 
    tragedy, 

    now 
    it's 
    so 
    sad 
    to 
    see 

    An 
    upper 
    class 
    city 
    having 

    this 
    happenin', 

    then 
    attack 
    Eminem 

    cause 
    rap 
    this 
    way 

    But 
    I'm 
    glad 
    cause 
    they 
    feed 
    me 

    the 
    fuel 
    that 
    need 
    for 
    the 
    fire 
    to 
    burn 

    And 
    it's 
    burnin' 
    and 
    am 
    returnin', 

    am 
    whatever 
    you 
    say 
    am 

    If 
    wasn't, 
    then 
    why 
    would 
    say 
    am?

    I'm 
    so 
    sick 
    and 
    tired

      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 🙂

      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.
