    Verse 1
    This 
    town's so 
    hype 
    it's 
    got 
    soul 

    As 
    Philly 
    cat 

    I'm with 
    the roll 

    And 
    the swing 
    of 
    my things 

    How 
    they 
    work 
    like 
    clockwork 

    Tick 
    tock 
    tick 
    tock 

    Times 
    aways 
    lurking 
    in 
    your head 

    Got 
    to 
    go 
    to work 
    and get 
    fed 

    That 
    man 
    didn't 
    eat 
    but 
    he goes 
    to 
    sleep 

    Gets 
    up 
    at dawn 
    not 
    to see 
    the sunrise 

    But 
    because 
    it's 
    too 
    damn 

    cold 
    outside 

    Underneath 
    the bridge 
    they 

    pump 
    the city's 
    bilge 

    Into 
    the 
    alley 
    they sweet 

    the city's 
    filth 

    The flowers 
    wilt 
    the 
    flowers 
    wilt 

    Don't 
    tell 
    me about 
    no 
    game 

    Cause 
    that 
    is 
    a man 

    And 
    his 
    family 

    Revolution 
    family 

    Look 
    at the 
    family 

    Dig the 
    family 

    They're living 
    the 
    wrong 
    way 

    Can't 
    get 
    nothing 

    Don't 
    get nothing 
    all 

    they wanted 
    was 

    Something 
    like 
    a job, 
    mercy 
    mercy 

    But 
    its 
    robbed, 
    mercy 
    mercy 

    And 
    there's 
    so 
    many 
    street 
    side 

    Beggars 
    and disabled 
    veterans 

    Glass-eyed 
    and 
    and peddling 

    Drunk 
    and just 
    meddling 

    So 
    you conclude 
    it's their 
    fault 

    They 
    like the 
    street 
    they must 

    like 
    the asphalt 

    But 
    that is 
    man 
    woman 

    and 
    children 

    The system 
    has 
    stalled 

    shelter's home 

    That's not 
    what 
    I call 
    it 

    I call 
    it 
    bad 
    health 

    Some 
    say 
    help themselves 

    Yo 
    if you 
    you gots 
    it 

    Everyone 
    hundred 
    people 

    dollar 
    in change 

    Everyone 
    hundred 
    people 
    dollar 

    in change 



    This 
    ain't 
    living 

    This 
    ain't 
    liv
    ing 

    Oh 
    no 




    You 
    know 
    it's rough, 

    had 
    enough 
    fo holding 

    Cup full 
    of spare 
    change 

    The 
    doctor 
    dia
    gnosed 
    me as 

    Dome 
    full of bad 
    brains 

    So, 
    toe 
    to toe 
    with 
    em
    ployers 

    Cause 
    they're 
    telling 
    me no 

    Hooked 
    on prescription 
    drugs 

    So 
    I stay 
    broke, 
    I'd run 
    away 

    But 
    you can't 
    run 
    away 
    from 

    Your
    self 
    or 
    your health 
    so 

    I deal 
    with 
    the cards 
    that I'm dealt 

    Tweet-a-leet-leet 

    This This 
    This This 
    morning 

    bird 
    sounding 
    sweet 

    Though 
    I sleep 
    on 
    the streets 

    I have 
    a feeling 
    I'm free 

    From 
    so
    ciety's 
    hand picked 

    hy
    pocrisy 

    Mercy 
    mercy 
    don't give 
    a damn 
    for 
    me 

    Mercy 
    mercy 
    now 
    what am 

    I going 
    to 
    eat 

    Peek through 
    the 
    windows 

    of 
    the 
    restaurant 

    People 
    eating 
    caviar 
    fifth 
    bucks 
    on lunch 

    hand-me-down meal 

    meal 

    meal 

    Full of 
    God 
    knows 
    what 

    Put it 
    away 
    in my gut 

    Quick 
    and then 
    wonder 

    Why 
    I'm sick, 
    brick 
    for brick

    I know the 
    city 
    like my 
    hand 
    print 

    Just 
    a pit 
    in 
    the gutter 

    Of 
    skid-row 
    ditch 

    ditch 

    But I'll 
    survive 
    the pain 

    Let 
    me know 
    I'm alive 

    But I still 
    feel 
    that 




    This 
    ain't 
    liv
    ing 








    Check my 
    beat 
    dig 
    they 
    rhythm 

    Me 
    belly 
    full 
    but me 
    hungry 
    so 
    I fill 
    it 

    Once 
    I start 
    gaining 
    taxes 
    start 
    taking 

    Cause 
    the governments 

    perfected 
    funk 
    faking 

    Breaking 
    me 
    down 
    striking 
    me 
    down 

    What 
    goes 
    around 
    comes 
    around 
    but 

    I keep 
    rising 
    seeing 
    through 
    the 
    lies 
    and 

    The surprise 
    comes 
    when 
    I see my
    self 

    The 
    music 
    felt 

    I'm 
    on 

    This 
    ain't 
    liv
    ing 


    This 
    ain't 
    liv
    ing 

    Oh 
    no

      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

      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.

      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.
