My time, 89, growing up in a jail,

doing push -ups in my cell so my chest can swell, living life

close my eyes I'm hoping when they open,
Em
A
Em
it's a dream but it's the same old thing, now I'm
G
Em
A
looking at the four walls, and it seem like they closing on me,

I'm dozing off to sleep,

They won't let me get a phone call,
but they better
Em
Not let me ride a ladder, I wrote the
Uhuru
G
House and I talked to him
A
To bring the helicopter to the
Em
courtyard and drop the rope
G
And I'll be right there when my
Em
A
black pie fits on him high in the air
Em
G
I told the crew that the answers
Em
was coming to get me
A
Em
And they said they was down to come with
G
me, the time to leave was 4 o 'clock
D
Em
A
We got our door open cause he stuffed a lot
Em
G
I walk to the corner and I'm hoping
Em
that the night man'll sleep
A
He got his back to me, he's watching
TV
Em
G
I snuck up on him like a creeper,
D
Em
A
banked to the grill, then I got him in a sleeper
Bm
Now it only takes 5, 4, 3,
2, 1, now the job is done
Em
G
I grabbed his keys and I
opened up the door
Em
Thinking of freedom as I'm
A
trapped in a courtyard
Em
G
I know pretty soon the pigs
are gonna be running
D
Em
But that's okay,
A
I hear the helicopter coming
Em
G
I heard a voice answer, exit's at a chute
A light in my face,
A
that's when I screamed out a hoo -roo
Em
G
He dropped the last, I started to climb
A
Visions of freedom flashed
through my mind
Em
G
Halfway up the ladder I fell,
I hit the ground
My mind went blank like
A
I was smokin' on day
Em
I remember wakin' up
sayin' what the fuck
When the staff said get up,
A
it's time for mornin'
Em
Watch out cause it was a dream
But it don't feel great
I'm still in jail,
a motherfuckin' wanted to stay

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.”
