    Verse 1
    Buffalo 
    soldier

    , I 
    know I'm 
    not 
    a rasta 

    I used to 
    be a 
    mobster 

    burning down 
    the block 

    Buf
    falo 
    soldier, 
    know I'm 
    not a 
    rasta 

    used to 
    be a 
    mobster 
    burning 

    Verse 2
    down 
    the block 

    Don't 
    judge 
    a book 
    by the 
    cover 

    Everything 
    will be 
    in this 

    world 
    is 
    your brother 

    When I 
    lost the 
    fun 
    ? uncov
    er 

    Ancient 
    words 
    that teach 
    me 
    to 
    love 
    ya! 

    So 
    we burn 
    to 
    return 
    to the 
    mother 

    And 
    we yearn 
    to 
    unlearn 
    all they 

    told 
    ya 
    about 
    your
    self 

    Who 
    you are, 
    what 
    you 
    should be, 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    be free 
    leave 

    it up 
    to me! 

    Verse 3
    Shouts through 
    the sky, 
    look 
    out 
    to 
    the night 


    Feel 
    alright! 

    Stars 
    burn 
    bright, 
    I like 
    the 
    moonlight 

    You'll 
    be 
    alright! 

    Verse 4

    I'm not 
    a rasta 

    I used 
    to be 
    a mobster 
    burn

    ing 
    up the 
    block 

    This 
    is 
    the medicine, 

    I'm out 
    like the 
    Bedouin 

    This knife 
    I'm 
    burying 
    and 

    this life 
    I'm 
    treasuring 

    Verse 5
    This 
    is 
    the 
    medicine, 

    I'm out 
    like the 
    Bedouin 

    Buf
    falo 
    soldier, I 
    know I'm 

    not 
    monster 

    Buffalo 
    soldier, 
    I know 
    I'm not 
    a monster 

    Buf
    falo 
    soldier, I 
    know I'm 
    not a monster 

    Verse 6
    went 
    running 
    away 
    to 
    the 
    cave 

    Went 
    in a slave 
    and came 
    out 
    all 
    flames 

    went 
    running 
    away 
    for 
    the 
    hills 

    Back 
    to my 
    roots 
    and 
    I'm running 
    still 

    But 
    now 
    I'm 
    running 
    to 

    face 
    my 
    dreams 

    Found 
    my 
    place 
    and 
    what 
    it 
    means 

    Find 
    your
    self 
    and no 
    one 
    else 

    You 
    have 
    to 
    leave 
    it 
    up to 
    me, 

    Interlude 1
    leave 
    it up 
    to me! 


    Verse 7
    Buffalo 
    soldier, 
    I know 
    I'm not 
    a rasta 

    I used 
    to be 
    a mobster

    a rasta 

    I used 
    to be 
    a mobster 

    burning 
    up 
    the block 

    Buffalo 
    soldier, 
    know 
    I'm not 
    a rasta 

    used 
    to be 
    a mobster 

    burning 
    up the 
    block 

    This 
    is 
    the medicine, 

    I'm 
    not 
    like the 
    Bedouin 

    With 
    this knife

    burying 
    and 

    this life 
    I'm 
    treasuring 

    Buffalo 
    soldier, 

    know 
    I'm not 
    a rasta 

    Verse 8
    Buffalo 
    soldier, 

    you know 
    I'm not 
    a rasta 

    I used 
    to be 
    a mobster 

    burning 
    down 
    the block 

    shot 
    the 
    sheriff, 
    the DA, 

    and 
    the 
    deputy 

    Sorry 
    Al 
    Sharpton I don't 

    need you 
    to 
    lecture 
    me 

    Maybe 
    I'll 
    stop 
    talking 
    about 
    guns 

    When 
    you talk 
    about the 
    funds 

    that they 
    cut 
    for the 
    youth 

    Let's 
    cut 
    to the 
    truth, 

    ain't 
    enough 
    for 
    the youth 

    So 
    tell me 
    how you 
    judge 
    me til you're 

    stuck 
    in the 
    shoes, 
    man! 

    Where 
    the Congressmen, 

    where 
    all 
    the Senators? 

    They're thinking 
    about their 
    green, 

    not 
    the color 
    of the 
    President? 

    This 
    is just 
    a relevance, 

    survival 
    is the 
    sentiment 

    Narcotics 
    is 
    the 
    only 
    way 
    you know 

    that I'm 
    measure 
    it! 

    They 
    say that 
    we 
    are in 
    a post 
    Obama era 

    Well 
    exactly 
    what 
    that mean? 
    you 

    needn't 
    make 
    it clearer 

    Does 
    it mean 
    that 
    the rich 
    are gonna 

    finally 
    start 
    to 
    share 
    up 

    Re- proportion 
    the wealth 
    and make 

    things 
    fairer

    Asking 
    God 
    "why 
    do poor 
    people 
    suffer" 

    but now I'm 
    such 
    a hypocrite, 

    The Rolls 
    Royce 
    mufflers. 

    In 
    the gutters 
    nobody 
    never 
    loved 
    us 

    am just 
    the 
    result 
    of 
    pain 
    and hunger! 

    Verse 9
    Buffalo 
    sol
    dier, 
    know 
    I'm not 
    a rasta 

    used 
    to be 
    a mobster 

    burning 
    up 
    the block 

    Buffalo 
    sol
    dier, 
    know 
    I'm not 
    a rasta 

    used 
    to be a 
    mobster 

    burning 
    up the 
    block 

    Buffalo 
    sol
    dier, 
    I know 
    I'm not 
    a rasta 

    used

    burning 
    up the 
    block

    • 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.
