    What's 
    it 
    up? 
    Yeah. 


    Right 
    now 
    it is 
    indeed 

    my 
    funked 
    up legend 

    to 
    introduce 
    to 
    you 
    from 
    the 
    silver 
    screen 

    to 
    HD 
    to 
    Blu 
    -ray, 

    tell 
    me 
    what 
    I say. 

    Let's 
    hear 
    it for 
    Samuel 
    L. 
    Jackson 

    .K 
    .A. 
    Sammy 
    J, 

    put 
    your 
    hands 
    together. 

    Let 
    me 
    drop 
    a little 
    know
    ledge 

    about 
    how 
    got 

    from 
    Chattanooga, 
    Tennessee 

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

    when 
    I got 
    up in 
    the morning, 

    there was music 
    in my 
    house. 

    There 
    was a 
    whole 
    gang 
    of us 

    walking 
    to school 
    together. 

    We 
    would grab 
    each 
    other 
    up 

    from 
    house 
    to house. 

    Every 
    house 
    had 
    it's 
    own 
    beat, 

    an
    that 
    beat 
    carry 
    us 
    and 
    our book
    all 

    the way 
    down 
    the street. 



    When 
    we 
    got to 
    school, 

    we 
    used to have 
    this 
    thing 

    they 
    called 
    devotion, 

    where we 
    had 
    to 
    do the 
    Lord's 
    Prayer, 

    pledge 
    allegiance 
    to the flag, 

    sing 
    America 
    the 
    Beautiful. 

    But 
    once 
    we'd done 
    that, 

    the 
    teacher would 
    let 
    us pick 

    a song 
    that 
    we 
    wanted 
    to 
    sing. 

    We 
    would always 
    pick 
    something 
    cool. 

    You 
    imagine 
    class 

    with 
    about 
    30 
    little 
    brothers 
    and 
    sisters 

    singing 
    Peanut 
    Butter 
    and 

    Ha 
    Ha 
    Ha 
    Ha 
    Ha 
    Ha 
    Ha 

    Or 
    do
    ing 
    background 
    to 
    our 

    lead 
    singer 
    of 
    the class, 

    Aquanetta 
    Butt
    s, 
    as 
    she 
    sang, 

    This 
    is 
    dedicated 
    to 
    the 
    one 
    I love, 

    and 
    we 
    will. 

    Oh, 
    that 
    made 
    the 
    day so 
    much 
    better. 

    We 
    could learn 
    and 
    learn, 

    learn 
    an
    d burn. 

    As 
    we 
    got 
    a little 
    older, 

    think 
    I bought 
    my 
    first 
    45. 

    And 
    I think 
    it 
    was, 
    uh, 

    mama 
    said 
    that 
    these 
    days 
    like 
    this 

    Smokey 
    was 
    my 
    man, 

    then 
    there was 
    the Duke 
    of 
    Earl 

    Ike 
    and Tina, 
    of 
    course, 
    James 
    Brown 

    learned 
    to do 
    the slob, 
    the 
    funky 
    chicken, 

    the 
    twist 
    was 
    -dancin', 

    an
    was 
    certainly 
    turn

    in' 
    the 
    mother fuck 

    felt 
    like 
    was gonna 
    live 
    forever 

    The 
    music 
    just 
    made 
    me 
    so strong 

    got to 
    college, 

    things 
    started 
    to groovin' 

    even 
    better 

    Mobbing 
    gays, 
    laying 
    it 
    on us, 

    making 
    us feel 
    all 
    political 

    grew 
    my 
    hair 
    long, 
    had 
    my 
    frown
    s, 

    my 
    army 
    fatigue 
    jacket 

    Fists 
    in 
    the air, 
    stoke 
    it, 
    rap, 

    all 
    the 
    brothers 

    Things 
    were 
    starting 
    to 
    make sense, 

    and 
    nonsense 

    met 
    brothers 
    coming 
    from 
    Vietnam, 


    didn't even 
    know where 
    that was 

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

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

    was already 
    in 
    war, 

    war 
    of 
    equality. 

    Little 
    did 
    I know, 

    the 
    war 
    was 
    just 
    beginning. 

    We're 
    gonna 
    turn 
    this 
    mother 
    out. 

    We're 
    gonna 
    turn 
    this 
    mother 
    out. 

    We 
    don't 
    turn 
    this 
    mug 
    up 

    We 
    don't 
    turn 
    this 
    mug 
    up 

    The 
    government 
    got 
    kind 
    of 
    hip 

    to what 
    we were 
    trying to 
    do 

    and they 
    decided 
    we 

    were going put 
    an end 
    to this 

    They 
    took all 
    the 

    weed 
    off the 
    street 

    Took 
    all 
    the 
    acid 
    off 
    the 
    street 

    And 
    all 
    they left 
    was death, 

    the White 
    Hawks 

    We 
    rode 
    it, 
    and 
    we rode 
    it 
    hard 

    But 
    when that 
    wasn't 
    enough, 

    they brought 
    in 
    that girl 

    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.
