    Verse 1
    Am

    America spend
    Em
    C
    Dm
    Em
    Am

    s millions of dollars each year to help other countries when
    Em
    C
    Dsus4

    America itself is falling apart.
    Dm
    Em

    There are so many killings
    Am
    Em

    going on in
    C

    America today, but everyone
    Dm

    seems to turn away from
    Am

    it.
    Em
    Dm

    Clinton himself is not addressing the
    Em

    problems within the neighborhoods.
    Am
    Em

    The only crimes that you're seeing on
    C
    Dm
    Em

    TV are those committed by the gangs,
    Am

    by the blacks,

    by the
    Em
    Dm

    Hispanics, and that's it.

    But there are so many other

    problems in
    Em

    America.
    Am
    Bm
    Em

    What happens when an innocent 16 -year -old
    C
    Dm
    Em
    Am

    knocks on the wrong door by mistake an d is
    Em

    gunned down with a .44
    Dm
    D
    Em

    Magnum and the killer is set free?
    Am

    Is this

    America I'm living in?
    Em
    C

    I really don't know.

    I think
    Dm

    America has lost it and we
    Bm

    are truly falling apart.
    Em
    Bm
    D

    We need tighter gun control and
    Dm

    we need better places to stay.
    Em
    Am
    Dm
    Em

    The finger always seems to be pointed at
    Dm
    C
    Dm

    the man that can't get a job, the ones
    Am

    that's on the street,
    Bm
    Em
    C
    Dm

    and the people that are lost in this system.
    Em

    You see,
    Am

    America
    Bm
    Em
    C

    shows you this shiny pole made of
    Dm
    Em

    stainless steel and they call this the
    Dm
    Bm

    ladder of success.
    Em

    But what
    Dm

    America is not telling you

    is that once you reach
    Em

    the top.

    It's so greased down,
    Dm
    Am
    Dm

    it's very hard to hold on.
    Em
    Dm

    And I often find myself
    Em
    Dm

    slipping back in to reality and facing
    Am
    Dm
    Em

    the same problems that I had to face as
    Dm

    a youngster.
    Em
    Am
    Em

    Sure, we've all made mistakes.
    Dm

    And when you become a failure to

    America,
    Am

    America has a system that does
    Em
    Dm

    away with people.
    Em
    Am

    They call it prison. I call it
    Em
    C
    Dm
    Em

    Every time I wake up and realize exactly what's going on,
    Am
    Em

    I get so paired up with

    America
    C
    Dm

    till I don't know what to do.
    Em

    I've come to the point that
    Am

    when I see the

    American flag,
    Em
    C

    I get so sick until I wish
    Dm
    Em

    I was from another country.
    Am
    Dm

    I'm not proud of
    Em

    America, mainly because
    Dm

    America isn't proud of itself.
    Em
    Am

    If you don't have an education,
    Bm
    Em
    C
    Dm

    you will find it very hard to accomplish anything in life.
    Am
    Em

    It's very good to stay in school
    Dm

    and get an education.
    Em

    But what about the people that
    Dm

    can't afford an education?
    Am
    Bm
    Em
    C

    America spends so much money on foreign
    Dm
    Bm

    affairs and never spends anything on
    Em

    America itself.
    C
    Dm

    We are truly falling apart,
    Em

    and I'd like for
    Am

    President
    F
    Em

    Clinton and all our other leaders
    C
    Dm

    to take time and realize that there's people like me
    Em
    Dm
    Am
    Em

    stuck in the ghetto where I didn't
    Dm

    have an opportunity to do anything
    Em

    better than what I did in life.
    Am
    Dm
    Em

    I don't want my kids to grow up selling drugs,
    C
    Dm
    Em
    Am

    killing, robbing, or any of this stuff, but
    Em

    This is the direction that
    Dm

    America has my little boy,
    Em
    Dm
    Em

    your little boy, your girl,
    Dm
    Em

    and everyone part of it too.

    You see,
    C
    Dm

    America lets the drugs in,
    Am

    put the drugs in the black
    Dm
    Bm

    community,
    Em
    Dm

    and let us sell drugs.

    And once we sold the drugs,
    Em
    Am

    America locks us up for
    Em

    long periods of time.
    C

    And while we are there incarcerated,
    Dm

    there are no programs to
    Em
    Am

    rehabilitate you.

    And then
    Em
    C

    America sets you back on the street
    Dm

    after going 14 years and expect for
    Em
    Am

    you to be able to survive.
    Em

    Is this truly what
    C

    America is all about?

    I don't really understand.
    Dm
    Am

    Sometimes I find myself
    Dm

    living in a fantasy world,
    Em

    trying to make
    Dm

    America better than what it really is.
    Em
    Dm

    Sure, I'm an
    Em

    American, but I must first be a black
    Dm

    Afro -American
    C
    Dm

    so I can identify with myself
    Em
    Dm

    an d realize the things that
    Em

    America has planned for me.
    C
    Dm

    an d then I could gain and

    use my strategy on
    Em
    Am

    America itself.
    Em

    So
    C

    Clinton, an d to all our so -called
    Dm

    black leaders of the world,
    Em
    Dm
    Am

    let's get together and
    Em

    get this thing right.
    Dm

    Not only for the blacks, but for
    Em
    Am
    Em
    C

    America.

    • 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.
