    couple 
    years 
    or 
    more, 

    since 
    a 
    piece 
    of 
    yam

    through 
    them 
    door

    no 

    rice 
    and 
    peas, 
    no 
    more

    the 
    youths 
    dem

    beef 
    burger

    Well, 
    I'm 
    begging 
    all 
    the 
    parents 
    please 

    Let 
    them 
    hold 
    on 
    to 
    their 
    culture 

    Anyhow

    it, 
    dem 
    in 
    a 
    big 
    danger 

    So 
    hold 
    on 
    to 
    your 
    culture 

    Don't 
    become

    stranger 

    Some 
    people 
    a 
    go round 
    and 

    they 
    ain't 
    got 
    no 
    culture 

    Come 
    in 
    like 
    a 
    dead 
    meat 
    and 

    wait 
    for 
    the 
    vulture 

    Learn 
    from 
    the 
    past, 

    it 
    can 
    help 
    you 
    in your 
    future 

    No 
    bother 
    to 
    diss out 
    your 
    ancestor 

    Take 
    for 
    instance 
    the 
    food 
    that 
    we 
    nyam 

    Like 
    the 
    green 
    bananas 
    and 
    yam 

    They're 
    full 
    of 
    vitamins 
    and 

    they're 
    full 
    of 
    iron 

    And 
    they 
    make 
    your 
    body 
    fit 

    to 
    make 
    you 
    strong 

    Take 
    for 
    instance 
    the 
    way 
    that 
    we 
    dance 

    We 
    no 
    just 
    have 
    to 
    read 
    them 
    by 
    chance 

    It's 
    something 
    that 
    we're 

    born 
    with 
    in 
    our 
    genes 

    So

    dance 
    like

    • 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.”
