At who's who while I'm readin'
Em

from my good book
Bm

And let's dig into every

nook and every cranny
Bm

Set your mind free as I slam

these thoughts
G
Bm

And just like a jammy goes,

"Baow"
G

You're gonna see what
Bm

I'm sayin' now

You can't be sleepin' 'cause

things are gettin' crazy

You better stop being lazy,

there's many people frontin'

And many brothers droppin'
Em

All because of dumb things,

let me tell you somethin'

A maniac, but I still act out of faith

That we can get the shit

On fools with no rhymes skills

Bm

And ladies,
G
Bm

these rhymes are like the keys to a dope car

Maybe a Lexus or a Jaguar

Still, all of that is just material
Em

So won't you dig the scenario

And just imagine if each
Bm

one is teachin' one

We'll come together so that we become

A strong force,
G
Bm

then we can stay on course
G

Find your direction through
Bm

introspection

And for my people out

there I got a question

Can we be the sole

controllers of our fate?

Verse 4

Bm

The weight of the world

is heavy on my mind
G
Bm

So as my feelings unwind I find

That some try to be down just

'cause it's trendy
Em
Bm

Others fall victim to envy
G

But I'll take the road less travelled
Bm

So I can see all my hopes

and my dreams unravel
G

Relievin' your stress,
Em
Bm

expressin' my interest
Em
Bm

In the situation that you're facin'

That's why I'm down

with the Nation

Spirituality supports reality

We gotta fight with the right mentality
G

So we can gain what is rightfully ours

This is the meaning of the

chain and the star

Land is power, so gimme forty acres

Let's see how far I can take ya

Original invincible

That's how I'm lookin' at it
Em
Bm

I use my rhymes like a Glock automatic

Any means necessary,

I'm goin' all out

Before the rains bring the nuclear fallout

So let me ask you, is it too late?

Ayo, who's gonna take the weight?

You can't, you can't,

you can't handle the whole weight

You can't, you can't,

  • 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 🙂

  • 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.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
