Verse 1
Db

The

Scene opens at night in a large old

-fashioned house in a lonely section of

New

York

City.

Uh -oh, here they come again.

Black man, black man,

black man, black man...

black man, black man,

black man, black man...

Keep the groove, so we can dance

Is this a black thing,

or when you come outside?

You're boppin' down the street

because you know you look fly

Before you get off the block,

the girls wink their eyes

Ooh, you know they wanna give you a try

BBS rims, yeah, on your car,

you're about to master ride

Ain't goin' real far,

four -finger rings and all type of dope chains

Material things that mess

with people's brains

Ooh, you don't even make records

Well, what do you do?

Forget what I suggest

Do what you do and you'll do it well

Cause if you fail,

you're gonna hear the sound of a jail slam

Boom!

And dangle your life

Your man will bail you out

Uh -huh!

Psyche!

They've been scheming you,

wanting you for a long time

Your energy, thinking you is prime time

Playing music loud, yeah, acting wild

Yo, he is hype, yeah,

but look at him now

Writing a letter, crying like a baby

saying how he been set up

He's on the streets getting more than the government,

he didn't pay him off

Now you see where he was sent

Yo, what's wrong? I'm money selling drugs,

man

But they was gonna hold him back anyway,

why?

Black man, black man

Black man, black man

Black man, black man

Black man, black man

Black man, black man

Dance

The

B -L -A -C -K -M -A -N spells black man

Quick dip on the trigger,

but we're stronger

And still getting bigger,

boy, smarter at times

But then I find that we don't use our

mind to feel power

If you're working for the hour, boy

In a place they call

Africa, used to be home

It's our throne,

it's where our spirits roam

We are the people that

came from the land

That scientists could prove

human life began

Black man lived with the animals

Some of us were cannibals

Warriors, royalty,

Cleopatra, even

Hannibal

Builder of the pyramids and

even the sphinx

Scientifics, even hieroglyphics,

it's all written in ink

Black man, teacher of the civilized,

he taught

Socrates

How could you visualize science

and math and medicine

As though embeddedness

superior or inferior

We caused so much hysteria,

even made

America better

We could do everything

except stick it together

Put together is the key,

the key of the action

We could be the

Farrakhan, we could be the

Jacktons

We could be the

Michaels,

Mandelas, or the

Kings

But you might have to die

to be the real thing

That killed many black leaders

One of them was

Jesus

Study your history

You won't believe us

Cause

Jesus is the name of

Christ

He's just a title

If you do what he do

Even you could be an idol boy

Black man

Black man, black man

Black man, black man

Black man, black man

Black man, black man

Shoot the groove, so we can dance

  • 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.
