    Verse 1
    As 
    I 
    walk 
    through 
    the 
    valley 

    of 
    the 
    shadow 
    of 
    death 

    I 
    take 
    a 
    look 
    at 
    my 
    life 
    and 
    real
    ize 

    there's 
    nothin' 
    left 

    'Cause 
    I've 
    been 
    blastin' 
    and 
    laughin' 
    so 
    long 

    That 
    even 
    my 
    momma 
    thinks 

    that 
    my 
    mind 
    is 
    gone 

    But 
    I 
    ain't 
    never 
    crossed 
    a 
    man 

    that 
    didn't 
    deserve 
    it 

    Me 
    be 
    treated 
    like 
    a 
    punk, 

    you 
    know 
    that's 
    unheard 
    of 

    You 
    better 
    watch 
    how 
    you 
    talkin' 

    and 
    where 
    you 
    walkin' 

    Or 
    you 
    and 
    your 
    homies 

    might 
    be 
    lined 
    in 
    chalk 

    I 
    really 
    hate 
    to 
    trip, 
    but 
    I 
    gotta 
    loc 

    As 
    they 
    croak, 

    I 
    see 
    myself 
    in 
    the 
    pistol 
    smoke 

    Fool, 
    I'm 
    the 
    kinda 
    G 

    the 
    little 
    homies 
    wanna 
    be 
    like 

    On 
    my 
    knees 
    in 
    the 
    night, 

    sayin' 
    prayers 
    in 
    the 
    streetlight

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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 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.
