structure for black capitalism
G

Always does the man read Mao or Fanon
Verse 2

I think I know you would- be black

revolutionaries too well

Standing on a box on the corner,

talking about blowing the white man away

That's now where it's at yet, brother
Em
Calling this man
Verse 3
G

an Uncle Tom and telling

this woman to get an afro

But you won't speak to her if she looks like hell,

now will you brother

Some of us been checking

your act out kinda close
Verse 4
G

And by now its looking kinda shaky

The way you been rushin' people

with your super black bag

Jumping down on some black men with both

feet cause they're after their B- A

But you're never around when your BA is in danger,

I mean your black ass

I think it was a little too easy for you to forget

that you were a negro before Malcolm

You drove your white girl through

the village every Friday night

While the grassroots stared in envy and drank wine,

do you remember?
G

You need to get your memory

banks organized brother.
Verse 5
G

Show that man you call an Uncle

Tom just where he's wrong

Show that woman that you're

a sincere black man

All we need to do is see

you shut up and be black

Help that woman

Help that man

That's what brothers are for brother.

  • 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.
