Verse 1
Dm
Manifesto,
this is what we want to see happen
for my peoples still breakin
graf writin and rappin
I rock the mic right and exact
my life's my sacrifice
Take my mic and I'm like a Chinese
man with no rice
Oh yeah we flippin through the pages of time,
to find design
Like Vaseline on the faces of Black Georgia,
we shinin
Deeper than petroleum jelly,
we in the air like conversations
on celly and just appear like
stretch marks on bellies
after givin birth you had to let go,
you playin for life
The Manifesto, here comes the beat
because I said so keep pushin
I got the cushion for the seat of your soul
Back in the day they stole our smile,
so we clothe our teeth in gold
and we frontin, from nigga to kid,
to Son of God
It's wild dependin on labels
for man woman and child
My style just is,
all that's seen and all that's heard
God gave us music so
we play with our words
So when Tek be in constant
meditation like a monk
while Kweli speaks in tongues
to get your intellect drunk
yo we bound to take over the 90% of
your brain that you ain't usin
To us it's life or death
we keep you chosin
Verse 2
Dm
(Chorus)
Every shook eye ain't seen,
every goodbye ain't gone
Ain't no rest for the weary yo
forever it's on
The Manifesto,
establishes a hip- hop order
Movin upon the face of the water,
Verse 3
like Reflections
Dm
Aiyyo all the real MC's can meet
me outside
So we can decide how
we gonna change the tide
like the moon we on the Earth takin
a ride around the Sun
Now Son we only just begun,
and the journey's far from done
We all miss you, what your brain gone
fishin like Walter Mosley?
There's an MC that can hold me,
supposedly?
No one could come close to me, only,
the family really know me
Hip- Hop's last hope like
Obi Wan Kenobi
Through your tunnel vision I'm
shinin light like a train
Comin out like earthworms
when it rains, bringin it
like the C.I.A. be bringin in
crack cocaine bailin out of planes
with the George Bush connections,
I push Reflection
like I'm sellin izm, like a dealer
buildin the system
Supply and the demand it's
all capitalism
Niggaz don't sell crack cause they like
to see blacks smoke
Niggaz sell crack cause they broke,
my battle lyrics
get concious minds provoked
and ghetto passes revoked
cause we surrounded by the evil,
you know that the people's minds
is feeble they believe in it,
even if it don't make sense
This makin dollars shit,
don't take a scholar to
see what's goin on around you,
either you widdit or you ain't
is what it comes down to,
have you forgotten?
We pickin 100% designer
name brand cotton
They still plottin,
my Third Eye is steady watchin
Verse 4
Dm
(Chorus) Every
shook eye ain't seen,
every goodbye ain't gone
Ain't no rest for the weary yo
forever it's on
The Manifesto,
establishes a hip- hop order
Movin upon the face of the water,
like Reflections
Verse 5
Dm
(Yeah see that's what I'm talkin about, it be the slaughter man
We need to break it down because
these heads
they don't know
what they talkin about
Frontin all this nonsense,
yo break it down)
Verse 6
Dm
From open mics to solutions I got a
collage of answers
and a ten point program,
just like the Black Panthers
One: First respect yourself as an artist
If you don't respect yourself then
your rhymes is garbage
Two: Make sure your crew is
as tight as you
cause when them niggaz fallin off
they gonna bring you down too
Three: Understand
the meaning of MC
The power to Move the Crowd like
Moses split the seas
Four: Know your shit
and don't ever be blunted
If you don't know what your words mean then
your rhymes mean nothin
Five: Kick facts in the raps,
and curse with clarity
What's a curse when language is
immersed in vulgarity
Six: We gonna fix industrial poli- tricks
Shit they made an artform out
of ridin dicks
Seven: We soldiers for God
needin new recruits
So if you rhymin for the loot
then youse a prostitute
but Eight: Acknowledge that
you need food on your plate
In order to say your grace make sure
your business is straight
Nine: We buildin black minds
with intelligence
and when you freestyle,
keep the subject matter relevant
Ten: Every MC grab a pen
and write some concious lyrics
to tell the children
I'll say it again, every MC find you a pen
And drop some concious shit
for our children

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.”
