    Verse 1
    We deal 
    in too 
    many 
    externals, 
    brother 

    Always 
    afro's, handshakes 

    and 
    dashikis 

    Never can 
    a man 
    build 
    a working 

    structure 
    for 
    black 
    cap
    ital
    ism 

    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 

    Calling 
    this man 
    Verse 3
    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
    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? 

    You 
    need 
    to get 
    your memory 

    banks 
    organ
    ized 
    brother. 

    Verse 5
    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

      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.
