    Black 
    nigga 
    white 

    nigga 
    standing 
    in the 
    dark 

    Listen 
    to the 
    rhythm 
    of the 
    bass 
    boom 

    Black 
    nigga 
    takes 
    a hit 

    send
    ing 
    up a 
    spark 

    In the 
    dark 
    heat 

    Swaying 
    a little 
    to the 
    bass 
    beat 

    White 
    nigga 
    takes 
    a hit 
    takes 
    money 
    out 

    Says 
    this 
    is what 
    it's all 
    about 

    Rots your 
    brain- 
    who 
    cares 

    Black 
    nig
    ga 
    stares 

    White 
    nigga 
    sighs 

    I 
    like 
    your music 

    I like your 
    style 

    I crack 
    a joke 
    so 
    why don't 
    you 
    smile 




    White 
    nigga 
    dancing 
    out 

    on the 
    floor tonight 

    The 
    band's 
    not 
    good 
    but the 

    beat 
    seems 
    right 

    The band's 
    all black 
    and the 

    floor's 
    all white 

    Clenching 
    fists 
    unite 
    and 
    fight 

    Rock Against 
    Racism rules 
    tonight 

    But 
    in the 
    real 
    world 

    No- one 
    rules 

    But 
    fists 
    are clenched 
    all 
    right 

    Down 
    in the 
    Underground 

    Out 
    in the 
    playground 

    The 
    common 
    ground 

    is 
    a Battleground 




    Now you 
    don't have 
    to be 
    black to 

    be a nigga 
    no 
    more 

    The writing's 
    on 
    the wall 

    Say- 
    black 
    is 
    power 

    White 
    is 
    flower 

    Diveded we fall 

    And behind 
    the wall 

    behind 
    the door 

    In the 
    dark 
    heat 

    In the 
    rhythm 
    of the 
    bass 
    beat 

    Something 
    is 
    wrong 

    And no- one 
    is taking 
    the 
    blame

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
