Verse 3
D

Well, from my understanding

people get better
A
D

When they start to understand that,

they are valuable
Bb

And they not valuable because they got

a whole lot of money
D

Or 'cause somebody,

think they sexy

But they valuable 'cause

they been created by God

And God, makes you valuable

And whether or not you, recognize
F#m

You got a lot of societies

and governments

Tryin' to be God,

wishing that they were God

They wanna create satellites
C

D

And make you think they

got the all- seeing eye

Eh, I guess The Last Poets

wasn't too far off

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
F#m
D

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
D

All over the world hearts
F#m
D

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 at, right here

On this place called Earth,

holding down my square
Verse 5
D

'Bout to do it for y'all,

and y'all at the fair

So just bounce, come on bounce

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

And just

Just step two, three

Just step two, three and

Step two

Two, three and

One, two, three and four

One, two, three and four

(we gon' dance,

said we dance again) one, two, three

F#m

Fear not of men because men must die
D

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

The world is overrun with

the wealthy and the wicked

But God is sufficient

in disposing of affairs

Gunmen and stockholders try

to merit your fear
F#m

But God is sufficient over plans

they prepared (God Allah)

Mos Def in the flesh,

where you at, right here

On this place called Earth,

holding down my square

  • 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.
