Somebody probably say you

Em
I bet they told you this over an

d over again on repeat like a re- run
Em
Nobody ever told you you could live up
D
To anything you want, don't give up
Em
D
They rather tell you, you're
Em
Dm
destined for failure
That's what they tell you
But you just say
Am
What about Martin?
Em
What about Garvey?
What about Rosa?
What about Malcolm?
What if somebody told them
Dm
they would never be nothin'
And they believed this,
think about the outcome
Am

Would we even be the way we are today?

Dm
And they got us thinking something
Am
Em
better we don't deserve
And that you shouldn't try, it's no use
Dm
But that couldn't be further
from the truth
Don't believe it,
Am
Em

When I was growing up

Em
Dm
Em
Is this thing called life really fair
Need help but it ain't there
Am
So you know it's really hard
Em
to stay dedicated
When the ballers screaming
they was never educated
On the corner getting high just
Dm
to medicate it
'Cause the teachers just told
him he would never make it
Am
Now he feeling like he made
Em

But probably won't let him
spend the money later
Nobody ever told us we could
Dm
be greater
To everybody on the grind
and the paper chasers
Am
I hope you listen

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
