    Verse 2
    It's 
    the teacher, 
    class 
    is 
    open 
    G 

    Let's 
    get open 
    on 
    the concept 
    of 
    voting, 

    we 

    Begin 
    the discussion 

    by viewing 
    democracy 

    People 
    power, 

    a people 
    ruled 
    philosophy 

    Democracy 
    is 
    a system 
    of government 

    Where 
    the whole 
    population 

    is 
    the sum 
    of 
    it 

    Where 
    the goverment 
    can't 
    move 

    Without 
    it's people 

    Where, 
    before 
    the law, 

    everybody's 
    equal 

    But take 
    a look 
    at the 
    police 

    And how 
    they treat 
    you 
    take 

    a look 
    at these 

    Corporations 
    that cheat 
    you 

    Democrats 
    and Republicans 

    are all see- 
    through 

    Now 
    we voting 
    for 
    the lesser 
    of 
    two evils 

    Man, 
    don't 
    let 'em 
    deceive 
    you 

    This is 
    an autocracy, 
    not 
    a democracy 

    But 
    to call 
    this a 

    Democracy 
    without 
    mock 
    interest 

    In the 
    laws 
    of society 

    Interlude 1
    That's 
    called 
    hypocrisy 






    Verse 3
    Democracy 
    only 
    happened 
    one time 

    In 
    European 
    history, 

    now keep 
    this 
    in mind 

    It was 
    practiced 
    in 
    Athens 
    overseas 

    In 
    508 BC by Cleisthenes 

    Citizens 
    would get 
    together 
    on a hillside 

    And 
    decide 
    how 
    and if 
    they 
    was gonna 
    ride 

    But 
    in 
    322 BC here's 

    what happened 

    Alexander 
    of 
    Macedon 

    conquered 
    Athens 

    And that 
    was 
    the end 
    of 
    democracy 

    Where 
    the people 
    had 
    a say 

    in their 
    society 

    Today, 
    we gotta 
    get 
    more 

    knowledge 

    And learn 
    about 
    the function 

    Of 
    the 
    electorial college 

    It doesn't 
    matter 
    who 
    you vote 
    for 
    today 

    The 
    electorial college 
    has 

    the last 
    say 

    But that's 
    another 
    day 

    Here's 
    what 
    I came 
    to say 
    rise 



    up 


    Verse 4

    In 
    corporate 
    sponsored 

    elections 

    Who's winning? 

    This 
    the 
    wrong direction 
    from 

    the beginning 

    Every candidate 
    got 
    scandal, 

    they 
    all sinning 

    Tryin 
    to 
    convince 
    you 

    Tellin 
    you what 
    they've been 
    in 

    But 
    the real 
    issues, 
    they get 
    avoided 

    While 
    our children 
    still 
    gettin 
    exploited 

    Heh, 
    they call 
    me 
    Blastmaster Kris 


    Edutainment, that's what 
    my tactic 
    is! 

    Some 
    criticize 
    Kris, 
    some 
    laugh 
    at Kris 

    But you 
    can't say 
    Kris 
    is not 
    an 
    activist 

    Social 
    justice, 

    I got 
    a passion 
    for this 

    Cause equal 
    rights 
    we still 

    asking 
    for this? 

    So when 
    I do 
    my tours 
    it's 

    Not 
    just 
    rappin 
    for Kris 

    I'm 
    givin 
    you more 
    than gun 

    packing 
    with this 

    I'm openin 
    doors 

    You should 
    be asking 
    'bout this 

    You listening 
    to 
    them whores 


    And them capitalists 
    their 
    game 
    is tight 

    Got 
    you trapped 
    into this 

    It won't 
    be 
    long before 
    the 
    ring 

    You 
    like 
    have to 
    kiss 

    That's 
    why 
    I'm 
    an 
    activist 

    I help 
    people 
    not 
    to 
    get trapped 

    in this 

    The temptation? 
    You gettin 

    wrapped 
    in 
    this 

    So get 
    up, 
    stop 
    sitting 
    like 
    a pacifist 

    Pick 
    it up, 
    pick 
    it up, 
    pick 
    it up 

    Pick 
    it 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

      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 🙂

      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.
