    Bismillah 
    ir 
    Rahman 
    ir Ra
    heem 

    If you can 
    hear me ladies 
    and gentlemen 

    Then 
    I'm very happy 

    that you came 
    here 

    Ooh, ooh- wee 

    That was 
    for Brooklyn 

    Ha 
    ha, 
    we get 
    it every time 

    You got 
    me on? 
    Ohh 

    Shout 
    out 
    to all 
    of my 
    crew, 

    East- 
    West, 
    North- 
    South 

    All 
    the continent, 
    Europe, 

    all abroad 
    international 

    Bring 
    it in, bring 
    it in, bring 
    it in, bring 
    it in 

    Come 
    on, come on, 
    come on, come on, 

    come on, 
    ouh, what's up? 

    It's 
    a lot of 
    things goin' on 

    y'all 

    21st century 
    is 
    comin' 

    20th century 
    almost 
    done 

    A lot 
    of things 
    have 
    changed 

    A lot 
    of things 
    have 
    not, 
    mainly 
    us 

    We 
    gon' get 
    it together 

    right? 
    I believe 
    that 

    Verse 2
    Listen, 
    people 
    be askin' 

    me all the time 

    "Yo, Mos, 
    what's 
    gettin' ready to 

    happen with 
    Hip- Hop?" 

    (Where do you think 
    Hip- 
    Hop is goin'?) 

    I tell 
    em, "You 
    know what's gonna 

    happen with 
    Hip- 
    Hop? 

    Whatever's 
    happening 
    with 
    us" 

    If we 
    smoked 
    out, 

    Hip- Hop 
    is gonna 
    be smoked 
    out 

    If we 
    doin' alright, 

    Hip- Hop 
    is gonna be 
    doin' 
    alright 

    People talk 
    about 
    Hip- Hop 
    like 
    it's some 

    giant 
    livin' 
    in the hillside 

    Comin' 
    down 
    to visit 
    the 
    townspeople 

    We 
    are Hip- 
    Hop 

    Me, 
    you, 
    everybody, 
    we 
    are 
    Hip- Hop 

    So 
    Hip- Hop 
    is going 
    where 
    we going 

    So 
    the next 
    time 
    you ask 
    yourself 

    where Hip- 
    Hop 
    is going 

    Ask 
    yourself, 
    "Where am 

    I going? 
    How 
    am I 
    doing?" 

    'Til 
    you get 
    a clear 
    idea 

    So 
    if Hip- 
    Hop is 
    about 
    the people 

    And 
    the Hip- 
    Hop won't 
    get 

    better until 
    the 
    people get 
    better 

    Then 
    how do 
    people 

    get better? 
    (Hmm) 

    Verse 3
    Well, 
    from my 
    understanding 

    people 
    get 
    better 

    When they 
    start to 
    understand 
    that, 

    they are 
    valuable 

    And they 
    not valu
    able 
    because 
    they got 

    a whole 
    lot of 
    money 

    Or 'cause 
    some
    body, 

    think 
    they sexy 

    But they 
    valuable 
    'cause 

    they been 
    created 
    by 
    God 

    And 
    God, 
    makes 
    you valuable 

    And whether 
    or not 
    you, recognize 

    that 
    value 
    is 
    one thing 

    You 
    got a lot 
    of societies 

    and governments 

    Tryin' 
    to be 
    God, 

    wishing 
    that they 
    were 
    God 

    They 
    wanna create 
    satellites 

    and camer
    as everywhere 

    And 
    make you 
    think they 

    got the all- 
    seeing 
    eye 

    Eh, 
    I 
    guess The 
    Last Poets 

    wasn't 
    too 
    far 
    off 

    When they 
    said that 
    certain 

    people got 
    a God 
    Complex 

    I 
    believe it's 
    true 

    I don't 
    get phased 
    out 
    by none 
    of that, 

    none of that 

    Helicopters, 
    the 
    TV 
    screens, 

    the 
    newscasters, the 

    Satellite 
    dishes 
    they just 
    wishing 

    They 
    can't 
    really 
    never do that 

    When 
    they tell 
    me 
    to fear 
    they law 

    When they 
    tell me 
    to try 
    to 

    Have 
    some fret 
    in my 
    heart 
    behind 

    the things 
    that they 
    do 

    This 
    is what 
    I think 
    in my mind 

    And this is 
    what I say 
    to them 

    Verse 4
    And 
    this is what 
    I'm saying 
    to you 
    check 
    it 

    All 
    over 
    the world 
    hearts 

    pound 
    with 
    the rhythm 

    Fear 
    not 
    of men 
    because 
    men 
    must 
    die 

    Mind 
    over 
    matter 
    and soul 
    before 
    flesh 

    Angels 
    hold 
    a pen 
    keep 
    a record 
    in 
    time 

    Which 
    is passing 
    and 
    running 
    like 

    a caravan 
    trader 
    (uh- huh) 

    The world 
    is overrun 
    with 
    the wealthy 

    and 
    the wicked 
    (uh) 

    But God 
    is sufficient 

    in disposing 
    of 
    affairs 

    Gunmen 
    and stockholders 

    try 
    to merit 
    my 
    fear 

    But 
    God 
    is sufficient 
    over 

    plans 
    they prepared 

    Mos 
    Def 
    in 
    the flesh, 

    where you

    here 

    On 
    this place 
    called 
    Earth,

    Verse 5
    'Bout 
    to do 
    it for y'all, 

    and y'all

    So 
    just

    B- b- bounce, 
    bounce, 
    just b- bounce

    gon' dance, 

    said we dance 
    again) one,

    Verse 6
    Once

    All

      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 🙂

      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.
