    strange 



    (An overdose) A nickel 

    bag 
    of funk 

    (We got 
    beat) 

    Now move 
    on, 

    move on, yeah

    ready

    Verse 2
    Boogie 
    jive 
    and rap 
    is 
    life 

    where I'm 
    from 

    Where I'm 
    from, 

    Ahmed 
    play with 
    Izzy 
    where I'm 
    from 

    Where I'm 
    from, 

    it be 
    like 
    run your 
    coat 
    black 

    Jupiter, 
    keeps 
    her fat 
    beats 

    by the 
    pack 

    Where I'm 
    from, 
    nappy 
    hair 
    is life 

    We be 
    reading 
    Marx 
    where I'm 
    from 

    The 
    kids be 
    rockin' 
    Clarks 

    where I'm 
    from 

    You 
    turn 
    around your 
    cap, 

    you 
    talk 
    over a 
    beat 

    And 
    dig some 
    sounds 
    boomin' 

    out a 
    jeep 

    Where I'm 
    from, 
    cocoons 
    hide the 
    youth, 

    swoon 
    units 
    hundred 
    proof 

    You want some 
    beef, 

    they will 
    cut you 
    some 

    Where I'm 
    from, 

    the 
    beats 
    is infinite 
    where I'm 
    from 

    Voodoo, 
    ashubani, gangsta 

    lean 
    where I'm 
    from 

    I'm 
    interplanetary, 

    my 
    insect 
    movements 
    vary 

    It's 
    kinky 
    if 
    it's hair, 
    G, where 
    I'm 
    from 

    The 
    firehoses blow, 

    it's 
    purple 
    wind and 
    snow 

    do a 
    hit and 
    go, 
    split 

    It's 
    hip, 
    what's 
    hip? 
    When 

    hip 
    is just the 
    norm 

    'Cause 
    Planets 
    pledge 
    allegiance 

    to the 
    funk 
    in all it's 
    forms 

    The 
    kinks, 
    the 
    dance, 

    the 
    prints 
    on all the 
    shirts 

    My 
    grandmother 
    told 
    mama 

    that it's 
    Africa 
    at 
    work 

    On 
    vibes, we 
    freak, 

    them 
    universal 
    beats 

    You find 
    it at the 
    spot 
    you hit 

    at ends 
    of every 
    week 

    We 
    twist, 
    exist, 
    to 
    spin the 
    maddest 
    hits 

    Up 
    here funk 
    is 
    our neighbor 

    so we 
    paid 
    her a visit 

    The 
    lip 
    we sit 
    can 
    house 
    the 
    nine 
    zips 

    For 
    rock we 
    can't 
    do nothin', 

    for 
    this we 
    come equipped 

    Off 
    disc, 
    off 
    tape, 

    rap blastin' 
    two from 
    eight 

    The 
    really 
    truly 
    fat, 
    the fly 
    on the 
    flip 

    Cocoa 
    gotta 
    know, 
    how Planets, 

    gotta 
    roll 

    Speak the 
    mega 
    cool, 
    get 
    funky 
    as 
    a goal 

    It's 
    calm, 
    relax, 

    we're 
    only 
    some new 
    jacks 

    That 
    acts 
    from 
    the 
    funk 
    but don't 

    play 
    the 
    role 

    Where you 
    from? 

    Verse 3
    (When'd you people 
    start 
    taking 

    an interest 
    in black 
    folks) 

    Never 

    Verse 4
    Weekend 
    Dig 
    Plans

    I'm from 

    Where I'm 
    from, 

    it's 
    Collins 
    13 where 
    I'm 
    from 

    Where I'm 
    from, 

    brothers 
    took the 
    beats and 
    got fly 

    (Why?) That's 
    most 
    asked by 

    85, where 
    I'm from 

    Fakin' 
    the funk 
    you 
    get 
    did 

    Pro
    jects, 
    tenements, 
    pyramids

    from, 

    we're 
    livin'

    We 
    live 
    to love 
    and we love 

    to 
    rock 
    mics 

    We speak 
    in ghetto 
    tongue 

    'cause 
    ghetto's the 
    life 

    Food 
    for thought 
    so 
    get 
    a buffet 
    plate 

    The lyr
    ics are 
    so fat 
    you might 
    gain 
    weight 

    So 
    just 
    watch

    Verse 5
    Venus

    (Yeah) 

    Doctors

    Hip- 
    hop made 
    a point 
    last 
    year, 

    right? 
    (Yeah) 

    But 
    Planets 
    is the 
    joint 
    this 
    year, 

    right? 
    (Yeah) 

    Planets 
    got 
    the dubs 
    and 

    live to 
    grass- 
    hop 

    Duck 
    out from the 
    fuzz, 

    that sweat 
    the 
    hip- 
    hop 

    Risin' 
    like we 
    foam, 

    get 
    it from the 
    dome 

    I'm from 
    where the 
    fat 
    beats stretch 

    for 
    mad 
    blocks 

    We can 
    get 
    a kit, 
    without, 
    no 
    bread 

    Feelin' 
    funky 
    beats 
    go straight, 

    to the 
    head 

    Fall 
    into 
    a club, 
    dig 
    on what we 
    love 

    It be 
    past 
    six,

    those 
    are fat 

    Doodle 
    makin' 
    silk, 

    LaQuan, where it's 
    at? 

    We 
    need to 
    stack 
    a set, 

    for 
    rap 
    to take 
    a step 

    So 
    we treat 
    our 
    clips, 

    just 
    like, 
    bustin' 
    caps 

    Whip 
    it 'til 
    dawn, 
    kick 
    it 'til 
    dawn 

    Hip- 
    hop is the 
    fix, 
    or else, 
    we be 
    gone 

    People 
    thought they 
    canned 
    it, 

    rap 
    is not by 
    bandits 

    Digable Planets 
    got 
    it,

      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

      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 🙂

      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 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.
