Make every word count. This has long been the mantra of Hoodie Allen, the New York based rapper and songwriter. With a penchant for candid storytelling and witty punchlines, Hoodie has always been an emcee who understood the importance of connecting with the audience through his lyrics. A purveyor of summertime anthems, Hoodie Allen has gained notable buzz on the internet for his unique genre-blending style, unafraid to sample from unconventional sources.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
So I'm tabbing this from what I can pull out from the recording. Please note this probably isn't the most accurate but it seems right when playing with with the recording. If there needs any corrections please let me know! Please also note that this is just the acoustic guitar, not for anything else!
I'll post up chords for when, I believe, to play them eventually!

Em/B Cause I'm the one she choosin' as her preference
Bm Minnesota women show me love like I was Kevin
A Pull up in your city, I could swear there's no exception
A6sus4 (one strum) Get up in my Xbox, cause I'm well connected
