    G
    Gm
    G

    Against the canvas of the night

    Appears a curious celestial

    phenomena

    Called Black Star, but what is it?

    Black people unite and let's all get down
    Verse 2
    G

    We got

    to have what? We got

    to have that love
    Verse 3
    G

    What is the Black Star?
    Am
    Gm

    Is it the cat with the black shades,
    G

    the black car?

    Is it shining from very far, to where you are?

    It is commonplace and different

    Intimate and distant
    Verse 4

    Fresher than an infant
    G

    Black, my family thick,

    like they're striped molasses

    Star, on the rise,

    in the eyes of the masses

    Black is the color of my

    true love's hair
    Verse 5

    Star's are bright, shining, hot balls of air
    G

    Black like my baby girl's stare

    Black like the veil that the

    muslimina wear

    Black like the planet that they fear,

    why they scared?

    Black like the slave ship

    that later brought us here

    Black like the cheeks that are

    roadways for tears

    That leave black faces well

    traveled with years

    Black like assassin cross hairs

    Blacker than my granddaddy

    armchair

    He never really got no time

    to chill there

    Cause this life is warfare, warfare
    Verse 6
    G

    Deep on the front lines,

    and blacks is all there

    Black like the perception of who,

    on welfare

    Black like faces at the bottom

    of the well

    I've been there before

    To bring the light and heat

    it up like "la cocina"

    Make without imagine happen but

    maybe I'm just a dreamer

    I love rockin' tracks like John

    Coltrane love Naema
    Verse 7
    G

    Like the student love the teacher

    Like the prophet love Khadeja

    Like I love my baby features

    Like the creator love all creatures
    Verse 8
    G

    Who acknowledge truth and peace seekers We

    on point like heat seekers

    Targeting the black marketing strategists

    Run up on 'em with the heaters
    A

    Everybody following with no leaders
    Dm
    Gm

    Feeling like we killing ourselves
    G

    Because I know they can't defeat us
    Am

    It don't stop 'til we complete this,
    G

    keep this fly

    There's so much to life when you

    just stay Black and God
    Verse 9
    G
    Am

    Blacker than the nighttime sky

    of BedStuy in July
    G

    Blacker than the seed in

    the blackberry pie
    Gm
    Bb
    G

    Blacker than the middle of my eye

    Black like feh- lah man cry

    Some man wan ask "Who am I?"

    I simply reply, "The U- N- I,

    V- E- R- S- A- L Magnetic"
    Am

    Work to respect the angelic,
    G

    climb the mountaintop

    And tell it 'til the valley's

    enveloped

    You're full of big chat but

    you nah know me

    I'm dark like the side of the moon

    you don't see
    Am

    When the moon shine newly
    Verse 10
    G

    You know who else is a Black

    Star? (Who?) Me

    You know who else is a Black

    Star? (Who?) Me

    You know who else is a Black Star,

    who we? (And we)
    Am

    Be shining and shining,

    when we rhyming and rhyming
    G

    We be shining and shining,

    when we rhyming and rhyming
    Verse 11
    G

    Now everybody hop on the one,

    the sounds of the two

    It's the third eye vision,

    five side dimension

    The 8th Light,
    Am

    is gonna shine bright tonight
    G

    It's the third eye vision,

    five side dimension
    Verse 12
    G

    You know the light

    Go from the dark

    The other way is ass- backwards

    It's absurd

    Make you want to crow

    like a blackbird

    That's right
    Dm

    You living from your first day to
    G

    your last night

    Sometimes you show your ass like

    Lint on your clothes

    When you froze in
    Am

    The black light

    Dead that
    G

    Before you get your head wrapped

    Like Badu

    We see through your voodoo
    Gm
    Bb

    Just like Eve's Bayou,
    Dm

    you dealing with that black magic
    Gm
    G

    Try to civilize you

    Not walk on by you

    Like civil- (lies do get

    you black listed) it'll

    Be unlucky for you like a black cat

    A panther

    Revolution is the answer

    That's what we need

    Greed plague my people like the cancer

    True indeed
    Verse 13
    G

    Now black people unite,

    and let's all get down

    Now everybody hop on the one,

    the sounds of the two
    Am

    It's the third eye vision,

    five side dimension
    G

    The 8th Light,

    is gonna shine bright tonight

    Everybody hop on the one,

    the sounds of the two

    It's the third eye vision,

    five side dimension
    Dm

    The 8th Light,

    is gonna shine bright tonight
    Gm

    • 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.
