    service 

    Now 
    what you 
    think 
    that say 

    about the 
    God 
    you worship? 

    First 
    of all, I know 
    it ain't a 
    song that's gon' 

    change the 
    world 

    There's no 
    way 

    It's not 
    a guilt 
    trip, it's 
    a field trip 

    that's gon'

    stuff 

    I heard 
    you just went 
    overseas, 

    now come back 
    home 
    and boss 
    up 

    Verse 2
    Buy 
    a bottle 
    for 
    a fee, 
    dirty 
    water 

    Bodies 
    floatin' 
    in the 
    sea, 
    dirty 
    water 

    Blood 
    flowin' 
    from 
    the ground, 

    dirty 
    water, 
    dirty 
    water 

    Buy 
    a bottle 
    for 
    a fee, 
    dirty 
    water 

    Bodies 
    floatin' 
    in the 
    sea, 
    dirty 
    water 

    Blood 
    flowin' 
    from the 
    ground, 

    dirty 
    water 

    Ain't no 
    filters 
    in this 
    town, 

    Verse 3
    dirty 
    water 

    Worthless, 
    worthless, 

    400 years we done 
    heard 
    that 

    My 
    family 
    came here 
    on slave 
    ships 

    Some 
    herd 
    cattle, some 

    herd 
    blacks 

    Know some 
    of y'all 
    done heard 
    that 

    My 
    kin 
    was treated 
    less than 
    men 

    That's 
    why we 
    raised 
    to hate 
    each other, 

    cause we 
    hate 
    our skin 

    Lies 
    you told 
    about yourself 

    that 
    you don't 
    realize 

    I 
    must be 
    a thief, she 
    locked 
    the doors 

    when I was 
    walking 
    by 

    They must be 
    whores 
    'cause the master 

    rapes 
    them 
    and leaves 

    The child 

    So dead 
    beat daddy 
    was taught 

    to me 
    way before 
    my 
    time 

    Now 
    we extreme, 

    buying 
    fancy 
    things like 
    gold chains 

    Just 
    pretty shackles, 
    we 
    still enslaved 

    Put 
    'em round your 

    neck, 'cause we 
    still 
    hangin' 

    Hood 
    preacher 
    told 
    'em they should 

    live as 
    kings 

    You call 
    him devil, 

    he fightin' 
    for 
    self 
    esteem 

    It's hard 
    to dream 
    when 

    your water 
    ain't clean 

    Now 
    look at Lucifer's 
    scheme 

    as how to 
    be 
    in a team 

    Blood in 
    the ocean 
    to these 

    African 
    streams 

    This dirty 
    water 
    ain't 
    nothin' 

    we haven't 
    seen 

    Verse 4
    Buy 
    a bottle 
    for 
    a fee, 
    dirty 
    water 

    Bodies 
    floatin' 
    in the 
    sea, 
    dirty 
    water 

    Blood 
    flowin' 
    from the 
    ground, 

    dirty 
    water, 
    dirty 
    water 

    Buy 
    a bottle 
    for 
    a fee, 
    dirty 
    water 

    Bodies 
    floatin' 
    in the 
    sea, 
    dirty 
    water 

    Blood 
    flowin' 
    from the 
    ground, 

    dirty 
    water 

    Ain't no 
    fil
    ters 
    in this 
    town, 
    dirty 
    water

      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.

      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 🙂

      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.
