    Verse 2

    Yowego, from the 
    poorest 

    and blackest 
    of people 

    To survive 
    in the 
    streets 
    of 
    Modesho 

    The most 
    dangerous 
    armed 
    and 
    lethal, 

    yet 
    peaceful 

    We 
    no 
    evil, 
    I 
    come 
    from the 

    slums 
    that's 
    run 
    down 

    Spit 
    native 
    intelligent 
    tongue 
    sound 

    Would 
    rather 
    get 
    gunned 

    down

    down 

    So 
    come 
    down

    we livin' 

    these black 
    lives 
    is beautiful 

    All 
    the things we've 
    been through 

    and the

      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

      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.
