    Verse 1
    That 
    young 
    boy 

    without 
    a name 
    I'd know 
    his 
    face 

    In 
    this city 
    the kid's 
    my 
    favorite 

    I've seen 
    him 

    I see 
    him 
    every 
    day 

    Seen 
    him 
    run outside 
    looking 
    for 

    a place 
    to hide 
    from 
    his father 

    The kid 
    half 
    naked 
    and 
    said 
    to 
    myself 
    "Oh, 

    what's 
    the 
    matter 
    here?" 

    I'm 
    tired 
    of 
    the 
    ex
    cuses 
    everybody 
    uses, 

    he's their 
    kid 
    I 
    stay 
    out 
    of 
    it 

    But 
    who 
    gave 
    you 
    the 
    right 
    to do 
    this? 

    Verse 2
    We 
    live 
    on 
    Morgan 
    Street 

    Just 
    ten 
    feet 
    between 
    and 
    his mother, 

    I 
    never 
    see 
    her 

    But 
    her screams 
    and 
    cussing, 

    I hear 
    them 
    every 
    day 

    Threats 
    like: 
    "If you don't 
    mind 

    I 
    will 
    beat 
    on 
    your 
    behind" 

    "Slap 
    you, 
    slap 
    you silly" 

    Made 
    me 
    say, 
    "Oh, 

    what's 
    the matter 
    here?" 

    I'm tired 
    of 
    the 
    ex
    cuses 
    everybody 
    uses, 

    he's 
    your 
    kid, 
    do 
    as 
    you see 
    fit 

    But 
    get 
    this 
    through 
    that 
    I 
    don't 
    approve 
    of 
    what 
    you 
    did 
    to 
    you 
    own 
    flesh 
    and 
    blood 

    Interlude 1





    Verse 3
    "If 
    you 
    don't 
    sit 
    on 
    this chair 
    straight 

    I'll 
    take 
    this 
    belt 
    from 
    around 
    my 
    waist 
    and 

    don't 
    think 
    that 
    I 
    won't 
    use 
    it!" 

    Verse 4
    Answer 
    me 
    and take 
    your time 

    What 
    could be 
    the 
    awful 
    crime 

    he could 
    do 
    at such 
    young 
    an 
    age? 

    If 
    I'm 
    the 
    only 
    witness 
    to 
    your madness 
    offer 
    me 
    some 

    words 
    to balance 
    out 
    what 
    I 
    see 
    and what 
    I hear 

    All 
    these 
    cold 
    and 
    rude 
    things 
    that 
    you 
    do 
    I 

    sup
    pose 
    you do 
    because 
    he belongs 
    to 
    you 

    And 
    instead 
    of love, 
    the feel 
    of warmth 
    you've 
    given 
    him 

    these 
    cuts 
    and 
    sores 
    won't 
    heal 
    with time 
    or 
    age 

    Verse 5

    And 
    I 
    want 
    to say, 

    I 
    want 
    to say 
    "What's 
    the matter 
    here?" 

    But 
    I 
    don't 
    dare 
    say 

    "What's 
    the mat
    ter 
    here?" 

    But 
    I 
    don't 
    dare 
    say

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
