    to her 

    Buying 
    her fake 
    furs 
    and taking 

    her 
    to the fever 

    Quiet 
    as 
    it's kept, 

    that ain't 
    even 
    his 
    benz 

    She spends 
    his franklins 
    at 

    the malls 
    with 
    her friends 

    Material 
    girl, 
    living 
    in a material 
    world 

    But it's 
    all right 
    cause 
    it's Saturday 
    night 

    So 
    mister 
    funkmaster, pump 

    the 
    bee 
    gees 

    And all you 
    college 
    students,

    You 
    ain't even 
    close 
    with 

    the rhymes 
    that 
    you wrote 

    Don't 
    be mad 
    cause you 
    broke 

    Let 
    me 
    clear 
    my 
    throat 
    ah huh 
    ah huh 

    John 
    forte, 
    grab the 
    mic, 

    Verse 2
    let's 
    sway 
    this 
    way 

    I'm more 
    than just 
    a rhymer, 

    you still 
    a small 
    timer 

    Hoping 
    that 
    the game 
    treat 

    that ass 
    a little 
    kinder 

    Every step 
    tango'd 

    Your beef 
    don't 
    concern 
    me 

    I'm eating 
    mangoes 
    in trinidad 

    with 
    attorneys 

    My crew's 
    slang 
    flow 
    worldwide 

    like 
    a current 

    With the 
    every 
    spot 
    where 

    nobody 
    got 
    insurance 

    Brother, 
    do 
    the math 
    you 

    ain't half 
    near 
    exotic 

    My 
    man's 
    claim 
    true 
    you forget 
    about 
    it 

    Po-po 
    just 
    just 
    a nuisance, 

    like 
    my 
    influence 

    Well, 
    recognize 
    you 
    a lie 
    trying 
    do 
    it 

    Got 
    juice 
    told 
    your lady 
    oops 

    We nuts 
    baby 

    Smooth 
    and 
    charismatic, automatic 

    You gonna 
    save 
    me 

    God 
    bless 
    the day 
    that 
    my sons 
    survive 

    We 
    strive 
    to teach 
    the youth, 

    Interlude 1
    baby, 
    and stay 
    alive 



    Well, 
    you can 
    tell 
    Verse 3
    by the 
    way 
    I roll, 

    shorty, 
    that 
    I'm 
    a ladies 
    man 

    A business 
    man 

    Condos down 
    the 
    shore 

    Multi-million 
    pension 
    pension 
    plan 

    But 
    it ain't 
    in my plan 
    to make 

    moves without 
    the fam 

    I keep 
    it intact 

    Yo clef, 
    do the 
    track 

    John, 
    play 
    the mack 
    while 

    I 
    pay the 
    tax 

    Business 
    as 
    usual 

    Watching 
    suspects 
    steal 
    my 
    assets 

    Get cut 
    with 
    gillettes 

    We built 
    this 
    concept, 
    connect 
    like 
    nynex 

    Drinks 
    at 
    the bar, 
    my 
    american 
    express 

    Verse 4
    Yo 
    I cook 
    up cook 
    up 

    The copper

    up 

    Then 
    I cuff 
    up cuff 
    up 

    You 
    who's 
    calling 
    bluff 

    Now you 
    shook 
    up shook 
    up 

    Cause 
    you lock 
    up lock 
    up 

    When 
    I love 
    up 
    love up 

    You 
    who's 
    calling 
    bluff 

    Verse 5
    Hey yo, 
    john 
    is 
    chilling 

    Dirty 
    cash 
    dealing 

    What 
    more 
    can 
    I say, 
    we 
    living 

    That's 
    what 
    we got, 
    we 
    got 
    it good 

    And since 
    you 
    understood

      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

      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.
