    Verse 1
    [Verse 
    1] 

    I've seen streets 
    we're youth 
    are forced 

    to 
    take 
    the long 
    way 
    home 

    And I've 
    seen 
    moth
    ers 
    mourn 

    the 
    loss 
    of there 
    only 
    born 

    Still 
    I believe 
    we 
    are given 
    noth

    in 
    more 
    than we 
    can 
    beg 

    A vis
    ion 
    is only 
    blurred 

    when life 
    seems 
    unfair 

    Verse 2
    Who 
    am 
    I 
    to judge 
    the man 

    with 
    the needle 
    in 
    his veins 

    When he's 
    just 
    chasing 
    freedom 

    to es
    cape 
    the pain 

    Of 
    the worlds 
    fast 
    paced 
    pipe 

    dreams 
    and 
    short
    comings 

    He's 
    just trying 
    to make 
    do 

    and find 
    a 
    way 
    out 
    of nothing 

    Its like 
    Verse 3
    we damned 
    if 
    we do 

    and 
    damned 
    if 
    we 
    don't 

    And it's 
    a 
    very 
    thin 
    line 
    between 
    re

    spect 
    and being 
    broke 

    [Chorus] 
    And being 
    one 
    red button 
    away 

    Verse 4

    from 
    world 
    war 
    three 

    Always 
    called 
    the 
    minor
    ity 

    And always 
    al
    ways 
    pulled 
    over 

    Facing 
    police 
    brutality 

    Why 
    is every 
    street 
    a living 
    hell 

    Probably 
    cause 
    they want 
    us to fail 

    Yeah 
    three 
    strikes 
    and surely 
    back 
    to 
    jail 

    Like 
    the 
    slave 
    ships 
    when 
    they 
    sail 

    [Verse 2] 
    Verse 5

    Years 
    and years 
    of 
    civil 
    rights 

    chasing 
    to 
    pass 
    that 
    bill 

    But ask 
    yourself 
    people 
    have 
    we changed 

    or are 
    we standing 
    still 

    Down 
    and out 
    struggling 

    In this 
    concrete 
    jungle 

    Verse 6
    One check 
    away 
    from starvation, 

    pover
    ty 

    But 
    they say 
    being 
    free 
    is 

    about 
    speaking 
    your 
    mind 

    Prophesise too 
    much 
    and 
    that's 

    where 
    they draw 
    the 
    line 

    A line 
    as 
    thin 
    as the 
    line 

    between 
    war 
    and 
    peace 

    A 
    line 
    as 
    thin 
    as the 
    line 

    between 
    west 
    and 
    east 

    [Chorus] 

    Verse 7
    One button 
    away 
    from world 
    war 
    III 

    Being 
    called 
    a 
    minor
    ity 

    And being 
    pulled 
    always 
    be
    ing 
    pulled 

    over 
    and 
    subject 
    to 
    brutal
    ity 

    Why 
    is every 
    street 
    like 
    a living 
    hell 

    Probably 
    cause 
    they all 
    just 
    want 
    us to fail 

    And three 
    strikes 
    and surely 
    back 
    to 
    jail 

    Like 
    the slaves 
    ship 
    when 
    they sail 

    but they 
    don't know 
    that 

    My 
    people 
    whose 
    pains 
    are cornered 
    Verse 8

    My 
    peoples 
    all 
    shapes 
    and

      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 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.
