    What's it up? Yeah.

    F

    Right now it is indeed
    Dm

    my funked up legend
    F

    to introduce to you from the silver screen
    Dm

    to HD to Blu -ray,
    F
    Dm

    tell me what I say.

    Let's hear it for Samuel L. Jackson
    F
    Dm

    A .K .A. Sammy J,

    put your hands together.
    F
    Dm

    Let me drop a little knowledge

    about how I got

    from Chattanooga, Tennessee
    F
    Dm

    to Big City, L .A. When I was a kid,
    F

    when I got up in the morning,
    Dm

    there was music in my house.
    Am
    F

    There was a whole gang of us
    Dm

    walking to school together.
    Em

    We would grab each other up
    F

    from house to house.

    G

    When we got to school,
    Dm

    we used to have this thing

    they called devotion,
    Bb
    Dm

    where we had to do the Lord's Prayer,
    Bb

    pledge allegiance to the flag,
    F
    Dm

    sing America the Beautiful.

    But once we'd done that,
    G#

    the teacher would let us pick
    F
    Dm

    a song that we wanted to sing.

    We would always pick something cool.

    You imagine a class

    with about 30 little brothers and sisters

    singing Peanut Butter and

    Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
    G
    F
    Dm

    Or doing background to our

    lead singer of the class,
    C
    F
    Dm

    Aquanetta Butts, as she sang,
    Am

    This is dedicated to the one I love,
    F
    Dm

    and we will.

    Oh, that made the day so much better.

    We could learn and learn,
    F
    Dm

    learn an d burn.

    As we got a little older,
    F

    I think I bought my first 45.
    Dm
    Am

    And I think it was, uh,
    Dm
    F
    Dm

    mama said that these days like this

    Smokey was my man,
    F
    Dm

    then there was the Duke of Earl
    G
    F
    Dm

    Ike and Tina, of course, James Brown
    F
    Dm

    I learned to do the slob, the funky chicken,

    F
    Dm
    Bdim

    and I was certainly turn
    G

    in' the mother fuck
    Dm
    F
    Dm

    I felt like I was gonna live forever

    The music just made me so strong
    F
    Dm

    I got to college,

    things started to groovin'
    F

    even better
    Dm

    Mobbing gays, laying it on us,
    F
    Dm

    making us feel all political
    F
    Dm

    I grew my hair long, had my frowns,

    my army fatigue jacket
    G
    F
    Dm

    Fists in the air, stoke it, rap,

    all the brothers
    F
    Dm

    Things were starting to make sense,

    and nonsense
    G
    F
    Dm

    I met brothers coming from Vietnam,


    didn't even know where that was
    F
    G
    Dm

    They said, if you don't stay in school,

    man, you're gonna end up in the war.
    F

    I was already in a war,
    Dm

    a war of equality.
    F

    Little did I know,
    Dm
    F

    the war was just beginning.
    Dm

    We're gonna turn this mother out.
    F
    Dm
    F

    We're gonna turn this mother out.
    G
    F
    Dm

    We don't turn this mug up
    F
    Dm

    We don't turn this mug up
    G
    Dm

    The government got kind of hip

    to what we were trying to do

    and they decided we

    were going put an end to this
    F
    Dm

    They took all the

    weed off the street
    F
    Dm

    Took all the acid off the street

    And all they left was death,

    the White Hawks
    F
    Dm

    We rode it, and we rode it hard
    F

    But when that wasn't enough,
    Dm

    they brought in that girl
    F
    Dm

    Oh Lord, that girl, we love that girl

    • 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.
