    Verse 1
    I 
    could try 
    to say 

    that I 
    was never 
    one 
    to run 

    But 
    I was never 
    one 
    to stay 

    My daddy 
    never 
    taught 
    me how 

    to knock 
    a motherfucker 
    out 

    I lay 
    in bed 
    and dread the 
    day 

    Ahead 
    a 
    scrawny 
    kind 
    of kid 

    talkin 
    all 
    this fat 

    I never 
    told 
    my friends 
    that I 

    was tortured 
    by 
    the fact 

    That 
    I was in 
    the minority 

    cause where 
    my school 
    was at 

    South 
    Central 
    Los 
    Angeles 

    wouldn't trade 
    it for 
    the world 

    Adams 
    and 
    32nd more to this 

    man 
    you mention 

    In 
    it's essence 
    evolved 
    music 
    so 

    how can 
    I forget 
    that 

    In the first 
    grade, 

    I met 
    that, fell 
    in love 
    and made 
    that mine 

    I 
    never 
    regret 
    that when 

    I think 
    about the 
    times 

    When 
    fat 
    boys wanted 
    to kick 

    my ass 
    for nothing 
    in my 
    mind 

    Was 
    stressed 
    daily 
    now 

    it's funny 
    but then 

    I learned 
    to pray 
    to God 
    because 

    I couldn't 
    tell 
    my friends 

    That I 
    was bullied 
    on 
    the block 

    psychologically 
    getting 
    punked 

    I never 
    really 
    got punched 
    or 

    jacked 
    for 
    my lunch 
    money 

    But on 
    the yard 
    like 
    a jailor 

    kept 
    my eyes 
    peeled 

    Fifth 
    grade 
    on 
    the battlefield, 

    man 
    that shit 
    was real 

    But 
    on the yard 
    like 
    a jailor 

    kept 
    my 
    eyes peeled 

    Fifth 
    grade 
    on 
    the battle
    field, 

    man 
    that shit was 
    real 

    I 
    will never 
    run 
    again 

    and when 
    I am 
    a dad 

    Put 
    my kids 
    on everything 

    that I could 
    never 
    grab 

    Teach 
    them how 
    to fight because 

    the world 
    is going 
    mad 

    Teach 
    then how to 
    love 
    because that's 

    all 
    we really 
    have 

    Love 
    is number 
    one to 
    give my 

    kids 
    when I'm 
    a dad 

    Music 
    number 
    two 
    because 

    that's what 
    I'm all 
    about 

    I kiss 
    them on 
    the 
    forehead 
    when 

    they 
    sit there 
    lookin 
    sad 

    Shout 
    out 
    loud 
    I 
    will 

    be there 
    on 
    the 
    bow 

    I will be 
    there 
    I 
    will 
    be 
    there... 

    On 
    the bow... 
    on 
    the bow 

    The 
    children 
    are 
    the future 
    always 

    have 
    and always 
    will 
    be 

    Mine 
    will be protected 
    til 

    the ending 
    if 
    it kills 
    me 

    They 
    will know 
    that daddy 

    loved 
    them with 
    a 
    passion 

    An
    d put 
    nothing 
    above 
    them even 

    when 
    the world 
    was 
    crashing 

    Around 
    us in 
    the end 
    and some would 

    say that's 
    coming 
    closer 

    I put 
    my daughter 
    on 
    my shoulders 

    love 
    her til 
    it's over 

    A 
    change 
    in consciousness 
    could be the 
    end 

    of what we 
    know now 

    Not earthquakes 
    tidal 
    waves 
    and 

    nuclear 
    meltdowns 

    Try to be positive 
    in the way 

    I live to 
    generate 
    light 

    So if 
    I bring 
    that life 
    into this 

    world 
    to witness 
    daylight 

    The 
    love 
    will carry 
    over 
    from killin 

    off 
    all my 
    selfish 
    act
    s 

    Help 
    one 
    oth
    er human 
    being 
    a day 

    to get 
    my bass 
    out 
    of hell 

    Well 
    runs 
    dry 
    daily 
    gotta 
    reimburse 

    good 
    beats 
    come 
    first 

    I'm 
    crazy 
    in love 
    with 
    my unborn 
    child 

    Teach 
    them 
    to 
    care 
    then 

    let 
    them run 
    wild 

    I 
    will 
    be 
    there 

    I 

    will 

    be there... 


    On 
    the bow... 
    on 
    the 
    bow 



    Let 
    them run 
    wild... 





    Let 
    them 
    run 
    wild... 

    On 
    the bow... 
    on 
    the 
    bow

      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.
