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

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,

keep this fly

There's so much to life when you

just stay Black and God

Blacker than the nighttime sky

of BedStuy in July

Blacker than the seed in

the blackberry pie
Gm

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

You know who else is a Black Star,

who we? (And we)

We be shining and shining,

when we rhyming and rhyming

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

Now everybody hop on the one,

the sounds of the two

  • 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.
