    We 
    are 
    from 
    place 
    where they 

    first 
    started 
    people. 

    And 
    ever, 
    and 
    ever, 
    and 
    ever, 
    and 
    ever, 

    and ever, 
    and 
    ever, 
    and ever, 
    ever. 

    Never. 

    Never. 

    Never. 

    Every 
    day 
    of my life 
    is 
    a struggle. 

    Out 
    in the free 
    world 
    trying 

    to 
    make a 
    hustle. 

    And 
    can't nobody 
    tell 
    me 
    nothing, 
    dawg. 

    It's 
    time for 
    the black 
    smoke 

    to 
    cover 
    the white 
    fog. 

    When 
    this occurs, 
    result 
    is 
    pollution 

    Waitin' 
    for 
    a solution, 

    now time 
    is the 
    execu
    tion 

    Back 
    in 

    Mississippi 
    where 

    Dopey 
    was 
    born 

    They had 
    no 
    idea, 

    I would 
    grow 
    him and 
    form him 

    To an 
    educated 
    black 
    man 

    who understand

    The 
    white 
    man's 
    system 

    and his 
    political 
    plans 

    Against 
    the 
    brother 
    man, 
    so 
    yo, 

    we gots 
    to stay fo
    cused 

    Cause 
    trackers, 
    album 
    jokers, 

    brokers 
    ain't 
    gon' never 
    know 

    Cause you're 
    blind 
    to the 
    fact, 

    stereotype 
    and 
    brain
    washed 

    But 
    you're 
    no better than 
    nobody 
    else 

    You 
    gotta 
    pay the 
    same 
    cost 
    to 
    gaze 

    up at the 
    stars 
    at night 

    Prayin' 
    and wishin' 
    I'd pre

    pare for 
    my 
    self 
    -crucifixion 

    Cause 
    ain't 
    givin' 
    up 

    ain't 
    givin' 
    up

    Now 

    I ain't 
    giv
    in' 

    Now 

    up your 
    fist or 
    draw your 
    gun 

    Which 
    one 
    will it be 
    then? 

    Re
    gardless, 

    I'm 
    a coverin' 
    the story 
    of 

    Mickey 

    Leland 

    brother 
    man 
    down 

    for helpin' 
    the 
    black 
    race 

    kind 
    -hearted, 

    generous 
    man 
    was 
    written 
    on his 
    face 

    Just 
    like all 
    the 
    rest, 

    he was 
    makin' 
    pro
    gress 

    Nevertheless 
    possessed 

    devils 
    and plant
    s a 
    mess 

    The 
    plot 
    was to 
    shoot down 
    the 
    plane 

    Yo 
    dope, 
    you know who 
    did 
    it? 

    Yeah, 
    but 
    I ain't 
    sayin' 
    names 

    Mickey 
    wanted to 
    stop 
    starvation, 

    so he 
    flew 

    To 
    make 
    sure 
    they got 
    him, they killed 

    his 
    whole 
    flight 
    crew 

    You 
    might 
    as well 
    have placed a 

    to his 
    dome 

    What's 
    wrong? 

    Black 
    leaders 
    are fall
    in' 
    like hailstones 

    Black 
    men you 
    love 
    to assassinate 

    got my 
    gauge 
    and I 
    can't wait 

    To 
    blast 
    your 
    head into 
    8 dif

    ferent 
    dimensions 

    Time 
    to elevate 
    the 
    tension 

    know you 
    want the 
    terrorist 

    heads 
    for 
    your lynch
    ings 

    But 
    we too 
    quick 
    with 
    serial 
    killers 
    on 
    guard 

    got 
    all 
    of 

    South 

    Park, 

    Hard 

    Park, 
    and 

    Fifth 

    Ward 

    HB, 
    you 
    got 
    my 
    back, 

    you know what 
    you're doing 

    Mickey 

    Leland, 
    16, 
    but 
    we still 
    look 
    up 
    to him 

    ain't 
    givin' 
    up, 
    nev
    er 

    ain't 
    givin' 
    up, 
    never 

    The 
    ma
    jority 
    of 
    my 
    true 

    friends 
    are 
    dead 

    Other 
    half 
    are jobless 

    Cause they refuse 
    to 

    take down 
    the 
    trends 

    And 
    I don't 
    blame them 
    one 
    bit 

    You 
    know it's 
    an 

    African 
    culture 

    You 
    son of 
    bitch, 
    the 
    terrorist 

    Bringin' 
    order 
    to chaos, 

    workin' 
    25 
    -8 

    When 
    no 
    lunch breaks, 
    the 
    day's 
    off 

    That's 
    the way it's 
    gonna 

    be from 
    here 
    on out

    Cause 
    freedom 
    is always 
    somethin' 

    that you're 
    hearin' 
    about 

    Freedom, 
    they 
    miss me, 

    freedom, 
    don't 
    sing 

    How can 
    you miss 
    freedom 

    when freedom 
    never 
    rings? 

    You see, 
    was born 
    in the 
    60's 

    And 
    ain't 
    a damn 
    thing 
    changin', 

    it's the 
    motherfuckin' 
    90's 

    30 
    long 
    years 
    passed 
    by quickly, 
    see 

    Now 
    society 
    got 
    the 
    blacks top 

    messin' 
    with 
    me 

    Should 
    get a 
    job? 

    Keep 
    slayin' 
    tough? 
    I'm doin' 
    both, 

    but I'm 
    tryin' 
    to get 
    out 

    And 
    ain't 
    givin' 
    up, 

    damn 
    fool 




    Check 
    it 
    out, 
    let 
    us confess 

    No 
    longer 
    is 
    our world 
    ruled 

    by 
    a balance 
    of 
    power 

    It 
    is 
    shot 
    into policies 
    of 

    balance 
    of terror 

    Con
    trolled 
    by who? 

    The government 

    Owned 
    and 
    operated 
    by 

    who? 

    The government 

    Let 
    me tell 
    you 
    brothers 
    something, 
    man 

    'all have 
    to get 
    up off 
    of y 
    'all 
    ass 
    and hustle, 

    dawg 

    You see, 
    the system 
    is 
    set up 
    to 
    destroy 

    the 
    potentially 
    productive 
    black 
    man 

    That's 
    why 
    you gotta 
    work 
    25 
    -8 
    when 

    no 
    lunch breaks 
    or 
    day's 
    off 

    Let's 
    increase 
    the 
    peace, 
    brothers 

    An
    the terror
    ists out 
    of there 

    cause we 
    on our 
    job 

    And 
    we 
    ain't 
    givin' 
    up.

      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 🙂

      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.

      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.
