    • Verse 1

    I put 
    a pen 
    to 
    the paper, 

    This 
    time 
    as visual 
    as possible, 

    Guns 
    blast 
    at 
    the 
    hospital, 

    The walls 
    are white 
    washed 

    with tin 
    rooftops, 

    To 
    show 
    love 
    you lick 
    two 
    shots, 


    It's dangerous 
    man, 

    Journalists 
    hire 
    gunmen 

    there's 
    violent 
    women, 

    Kids 
    trust 
    no one 
    cause 

    fire 
    burnt 
    them, 

    Refugees 
    die 
    in boats, 
    headed 
    for 
    peace, 

    Is 
    anyone 
    scared 
    of death 

    here' Not 
    in 
    the least, 

    I walk 
    by 
    the 
    old lady 
    selling 

    coconuts 
    under the 
    tree, 

    Life 
    is 
    cheap here 
    but wisdom 
    is free, 

    The 
    beach 
    boys 
    hang 
    on the side, 

    leaning 
    with pride, 

    Scam 
    artists 
    and gangsters 

    fiendin to fight, 

    I walk 
    with three 
    kids 
    that can't 

    wait 
    to meet 
    God 

    Lately, 

    that's 
    Bucktooth, Mohamed 
    and 
    Crybaby, 

    What 
    they do 
    everyday 
    just 
    to eat 

    lord 
    have mercy, 

    Strapped 
    with 
    an 
    AK and 
    they 

    blood 
    thirsty 

    Verse 2
    [Chorus] 
    So what's 

    hardcore? 
    Really, 

    are you 
    hardcore? 

    So 
    what's 
    hardcore? 
    Really, 

    are you 
    hardcore? 

    Verse 3
    We 
    begin 
    our 
    day 
    by 

    the way 
    of 
    the gun, 

    Rocket 
    propelled 
    grenades 

    blow 
    you away 
    if 
    you front, 

    We 
    got no 
    police 
    ambulance 

    or fire 
    fighters, 

    We start 
    riots 
    by burning 
    car 
    tires, 

    They 
    looting, 

    and everybody 
    start 
    shooting, 

    Bullshit 
    politicians 
    talking 
    bout solutions, 

    but 
    it's all 
    talk, 

    You 
    can't 
    go 
    half 
    a block 
    with a 
    road 
    block, 


    You don't 
    pay 
    at the road 
    block 

    you get 
    your throat 
    shot, 

    And each 
    road 
    block 
    is set 
    up by 

    these gangsters, 

    And different 
    gangsters 
    go 

    by 
    different 
    standards, 

    For 
    example, 
    the 
    evening 
    is 
    a no 
    go, 

    Unless 
    you wanna 
    wear 
    a bullet 
    like 
    a logo, 

    In 
    the day 
    you should 
    never 

    take the 
    alleyway, 

    The only 
    thing that 
    validates you is 
    the AK, 


    They chew 
    on Jad 
    it's sorta 

    like 
    coco 
    leafs, 

    Verse 4
    And there 
    ain't no 
    police 


    [Chorus] 

    I'm 
    a spit 
    these 
    verses 

    cause I 
    feel 
    annoyed, 

    And 
    I'm not 
    gonna 
    quit 
    till 
    I 
    fill 
    the void, 

    If 
    I rhyme 
    about 
    home 
    and 

    got 
    descriptive, 

    I'd make 
    Fifty 
    Cent 
    look 

    like 
    Limp 
    Biskit, 

    It's true, 
    and don't 
    make 

    me rhyme 
    about 
    you, 

    I'm 
    from 
    where 
    the kids 

    is 
    addicted 
    to 
    glue, 

    Get 
    ready, 
    he got 
    a good 

    grip 
    on the machete, 

    Make 
    rappers 
    say 
    they do 

    it for love 
    like R- 
    Kelly, 

    It's 
    HARD, 
    harder 
    than 
    Harlem 

    and 
    Compton 
    intertwined, 

    Harder 
    than 
    harboring 

    Bin Laden 
    and 
    rewind, 

    "to 
    that 
    earlier 
    part 
    when I 

    was kinda 
    like" 

    We begin 
    our 
    day 
    by the 

    way 
    of the 
    gun, 

    Rocket 
    propelled 
    gren
    ades 

    blow you 
    away 
    if you 
    front, 

    We got 
    no police 
    ambulances 

    or fire 
    fighters, 

    We start 
    riots 
    by 
    burning 
    car 
    tires, 

    They 
    looting, 
    and everybody 

    starting 
    shooting

      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.
