    Verse 1
    In a 
    conservative 
    form 

    I wanna 
    ask 
    you 
    a few thing

    before 
    I conform 

    To the popular 
    belief 
    about 

    where I was 
    born 

    Are 
    they 
    still 
    illin' 

    Still killin' 
    poppin' 
    the corn? 

    How's 
    the 
    horn 

    How's the love 
    wav

    in' the 
    ocean 
    morn'? 

    How 
    'bout the 
    young 

    Do they still 
    possess 
    the 
    poetry 
    tongue? 

    And 
    do they still 
    greet 
    sincere 
    like 

    The depth 
    of 
    the lung" 

    how's the 
    nomad 

    Did 
    the herd 
    graze 
    well this 
    year? 

    From 
    the 
    news 
    to what 
    I know 

    The growin' 
    gap 
    ain't 
    clear! 

    How's the 
    earth 

    How 'bout the 
    stars 
    under 

    we conversed? 

    Do you still 
    await 
    on change 

    Like a 
    new moon's 
    birth? 

    Does 
    it still 
    flood 
    ancient 

    Wis
    dom parallel 
    with blood? 

    Do you 
    still 
    see 
    the pain 
    of vision 
    holy 

    Only 
    scriptkeeper? Or did 
    you 
    fight 
    off 
    the 

    Plight 
    of 
    the colonized 
    mind? 

    What 
    of the rainy 
    season 

    Do 
    the kids 
    still 
    bury 
    seeds? 

    And get 
    taken 
    with 
    uncertainty 
    like 

    Me 
    scared 
    of leavin? 
    ' how 

    are the 
    poets 

    The women 
    and 
    the orphans 
    torn? 

    miss 
    'em all 
    like, old 
    op

    portunities 
    gone 

    What of the 
    elders 

    Story 
    teller
    s in 
    abandoned 
    homes 

    Miss 
    'em 
    all like, 
    childhood 

    Reminisce 
    with songs 

    Dis
    putes, 
    do 
    they still 
    settle 

    'em by 
    bloodying shoes? 
    Fist 
    rules 

    Rather 
    finger 
    equipped 
    with sick 
    tools 

    What 
    of the wind 

    recall 
    it 
    was 
    serenity's end 

    When the 
    breeze 
    would come 
    and 

    The trees 
    would bend 

    And 
    the people 
    would say 
    "look 

    What 
    it leads 
    with 
    sin" 

    And the 
    air was 
    violent 
    and 

    Our care 
    was 
    silent 
    and 
    the 

    only law 
    we 
    bore 

    Was of 
    pair 
    of 
    tyrants 
    man 
    you 
    know 

    This 
    is why 
    I'm 
    down in 
    deep 
    indigo 

    And 
    I sleep 
    really 
    poor 

    On 
    the 
    circumstance 
    floor 

    Anyway, 
    how's 
    stress 

    Does 
    it still 
    rule 
    your chest? 

    Do 
    the camps 
    still 
    rape 

    Girls 
    with 
    no breasts? 
    Our moms 

    Are they still 
    screaming 
    "put 

    Away 
    the arms"? 

    An
    d against 
    the dispossession 
    of 

    Their 
    family- 
    owned 
    farms 

    How 
    are the 
    many rivers 
    and 

    The lakes 
    and the seas? 

    Are they still 
    angry 
    with 
    us 

    For 
    our poisonous 
    deeds? 

    And the 
    lakes 
    and the 
    seas 

    For our 
    poisonous 
    deeds 

    This 
    is 
    my 
    Verse 2
    blues 
    for 
    the horn, 

    for 
    the 
    horn 

    This 
    is 
    my 
    blues 
    for 
    the 
    horn, 
    for 
    the 
    horn 

    This 
    is 
    my 
    blues 
    for 
    the horn, 

    for 
    the 
    horn 

    Verse 3
    So 
    who's 
    dead 

    and who's 
    alive 

    Did the rates 
    multiply? 

    Did the poor 
    fight 
    the drought 

    With 
    their minimum 
    supply? 

    Did 
    the warlords 
    abort 
    the 
    wars 

    And for 
    supporting 
    the peace, 
    they force 

    To 
    promote 
    disease 
    and 

    Easening 'creased 
    divorce? 

    What 
    of police 
    and 
    courts 

    Are they 
    still even 
    in 
    force? 

    Leaking 
    pores 
    and 
    cheatedly to 

    The bleeding 
    corpse 

    What of the 
    kind 
    an
    d good, 

    can they 
    still 

    Laugh 
    intensely 

    Like 
    the, mind 
    and 
    word 
    or is 
    it 

    Inno
    cense 
    lost 
    as I 
    understood 

    And what 
    of the 
    playwrights 

    Reflection 
    in the 
    scapes 

    of great 
    sights 

    Revolution 
    from power's 

    the writings 

    Of brave 
    fights 

    Despite 
    the 
    luxury 
    that 
    you hear 

    (d) we 
    live by 
    head 

    with refuges 
    and 

    Niggers 
    ain't share 
    right, 
    and 

    Don't 
    you play 
    soccer 
    by 

    the ocean 
    front? 

    In Amer
    ica 

    I shovel 
    the snow 
    while I'm 

    smoking 
    blunts 

    You mean 
    to 
    tell 
    me that 
    you 

    Out 
    there still 
    totin' 
    gun
    s? 

    Bloating 
    sons 
    of the 
    hardened 

    Hardly 
    copin' 
    moms 

    Dam
    n you 
    and circumstance 
    too 

    I can't 
    stand 
    you 
    you make 

    a mockery 
    of our 

    Struggle 
    like hollywood 
    plans 
    do 

    And 
    I swear 
    to god 
    I wish 
    you hell 

    Burn 
    and bake 
    too 
    and 

    curse 
    the Europeans 

    Who 
    instigated 
    you 
    worse 

    And 
    I curse 
    the Russians 
    who 

    Impregnated 
    the kalashnikov 
    birth 

    And hurts 
    you never 
    wake 

    and see 
    the destiny 

    It's like 
    the conflict 
    of self 

    Submerged 
    in 
    satanic 
    hate 

    Remember 
    eatin' 
    food 

    Walking 
    back 
    in 
    hot sun 
    from school 

    Bare 
    feet, 
    the hot 
    sand 

    Massaging 
    our 
    feet 
    is 

    Cause 
    now 
    my mother 
    slips 
    on the 

    Ice and 
    her back 
    is weak 

    And 
    I feel 
    like 
    a failure 

    mute 
    in the age 
    of speech 

    Look 
    at 
    me, yo! 
    look at 
    me 

    Look 
    dead in 
    the eyes 
    don't 
    flinch 

    You 
    are an accomplice 

    to 
    great white 
    lies 

    I can
    't even 
    begin 
    to express 

    How 
    breakdown 
    and stressed 

    gotta 
    live 
    to tell 

    Give 
    me a bullet- 
    proof 
    vest 


    Verse 4

    This 
    is 
    my 
    blues 
    for 
    the horn, 
    for 
    the horn 

    This 
    is 
    my 
    blues 
    for 
    the 
    horn, 
    for 
    the 
    horn 

    This 
    is

      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

      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 🙂

      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.

      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.
