    Verse 1
    Picture 
    the 
    morning 
    taste 
    and 
    devour 

    We 
    rise 
    early 
    pace 
    up the 
    hour 

    Streets 
    is 
    bustling 
    hustling 
    their 
    heart 
    out 

    Verse 2
    You 
    can't 
    have the sweet 
    with 
    no 
    sour 

    Spices 
    herbs 
    the sweet 
    scent 
    of flower 

    We 
    came 
    out 
    precisely 
    the 
    hour 

    Clouds 
    disappear 
    the sun 
    shows 
    the power 

    Verse 3
    No 
    chance 
    of 
    a probable 
    shower 

    fell 
    in love 
    with my 
    neighbors 
    daughter 

    wanted 
    to 
    protect 
    and support 
    her 

    Never 
    mind 
    I'm 
    just 
    12 and 
    a quarter 

    Verse 4
    had 
    dreams 
    beyond 
    our 
    border. 

    Is 
    it true 
    when 
    they say 
    all 

    you 
    need 
    is just 
    love, 

    Is 
    it true 

    What 
    about 
    those 
    who have 
    loved 

    Only 
    to 
    find 
    that 
    it's taken 
    away 

    And why 
    do they 
    say 
    that the 

    children 
    have 
    rights 
    to be 
    free 

    To 
    be free 

    What 
    about 
    those 
    who I've 
    known 

    Whose 
    memory 
    still 
    lives 
    inside 
    of me. 

    Verse 5
    Fatima, 

    What 
    did the Young 
    Man 
    say 

    Be
    fore 
    he stole 
    you 
    away 

    On 
    that fateful 
    day 
    Fatima 

    Fatima, 

    Did 
    he know 
    your 
    name 

    Or 
    the plans 
    we 
    made, 

    To 
    go 
    to New 
    York 
    City, 
    Fatima 

    Verse 6
    And 
    after 
    school 
    we studied 
    the 
    lessons 

    ask 
    God 
    to slow 
    down 
    the 
    seconds 

    He 
    does 
    the opposite 
    that's 

    what 
    I'm 
    guessing 

    better 
    chill 
    and count 
    my 

    Verse 7
    own 
    blessings 

    Fatima, 
    Fatima 
    what 
    is the 
    matter 

    How 
    come 
    you 
    ain't come 
    up the 
    ladder 

    So 
    we 
    can be 
    like 
    there's 
    no tomorrow 

    Damn 
    you gonna 
    make 

    Verse 8
    me wait 
    until 
    tomorrow 

    She 
    spoke 
    Arabic 
    and Swahili 

    She'd 
    say 
    Upendo (Swahili for 
    love) 

    Anta 
    Habibi (Arabic for, you are my 

    love, dearest 
    friend) 

    You 
    so 
    bright, 
    you shine 
    like 
    my 
    TV 

    Verse 9
    Then 
    one 
    day 
    she never 
    came 
    to 
    meet 
    me 

    Is 
    it true 
    when 
    they say 
    all 

    you 
    need 
    is just 
    love, 

    Is 
    it true 

    What 
    about 
    those 
    who have 
    loved 

    Only 
    to 
    find 
    that it's 
    taken 
    away 

    And why 
    do they 
    say 
    that the 

    children 
    have 
    rights 
    to be 
    free 

    To be 
    free 

    What 
    about 
    those 
    who I've 
    known 

    Whose 
    memory 
    still 
    lives 
    inside 
    of me. 

    Verse 10

    On 
    that fateful 
    day 
    Fatima 

    Fatima, 

    Did he

    [Repeats] 

    If 
    Verse 11

    beauty 

    was 
    in 
    the eyes 
    of beholder 

    How 
    come 
    everyone 
    hushed 

    when she 
    walked 
    by 

    How 
    come 
    girls 
    would 

    look just 
    to 
    scold 
    her 

    How 
    come the 
    angel 

    wanted 
    to 
    hold 
    her? 

    Verse 12
    Fatima, 
    Fatima 
    I'm in 
    America 

    make 
    rhymes 
    and 
    I make 
    them delicate 

    You 
    would 
    have liked 

    the parks 
    in Connecticut 

    You 
    would 
    have said 
    I'm working 

    Verse 13
    too 
    hard 
    again. 

    Damn 
    you 
    shooter, 

    Dam
    you the 
    building 

    Whose 
    walls 
    hid 
    the blood 

    she 
    was 
    spilling 

    Damn 
    you 
    Country 
    so 
    good 
    at 
    killing 

    Verse 14
    Damn 
    you 
    feeling, 
    for 
    persevering 

    Is 
    it true 
    when 
    they say 
    all 

    you 
    need 
    is just 
    love, 

    Is 
    it true 

    What 
    about 
    those 
    who have 
    loved 

    Only 
    to 
    find 
    that 
    it's taken 
    away 

    And why 
    do they 
    say 
    that the 

    children 
    have 
    rights 
    to be 
    free 

    To be 
    free 

    What 
    about 
    those 
    who I've 
    known 

    Whose 
    memory 
    still 
    lives 
    inside 

    of me. 

    Verse 15

    [Repeats] 

    Fatima, 


    What did 
    the Gun 
    Man 
    Say 

    Before

    that fateful 
    day 

    Fatima 

    Did 
    he know

    Verse 16
    Fatima 

    Now 
    I just 
    want to 
    make it 
    clear, 

    I don't

      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 🙂

      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 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.
