Hey, hey old bean

And you to baby sweetness

Yeah, this is Pops,

Brazil, Italy, Japan

Who've been saying and

doing the right things

You know they sat on those

nines of 1999

And kept them from turning

Dm

And teaching the babies
F

To love, to be able to give love

And to enter the new century

with their own prophecy

The cen tury of amends

You see I deal with the premise

that all children are ours

the same path

It's just that we don't get there

at the same time
C
Am

(See you next lifetime) See

Talking about how nice

What karat is they gold

That was yours before

Think agriculture; beat
F
Dm

that neighborhood
Am

Which you claim you love so dear
G
Dm
F

Are you mankind or what kind of a man?

From when the world

Dm
Am

Hip Hop, Hip Hop,

the language of the underground railroad

In it's purest form

Dm

Yeah true hip hop is just like

the Underground Railroad
Am
G
Am

If the message is not for you
Dm

It can sit on your nose and your brain
F
G
Dm

remain froze

So when you see me traveling
F

on a spiritual high
Dm

I'm flying high with Cee- Lo
F

Or maybe watching my long's heart
Dm

dancing to a De La flow
Am

Everybody knows there's no fruit on
G
Dm

the tree with The Roots
Am
F

And Black Star said we are

what we are

Up there in Minnesota milking

F

we got to be kind to the growing mind
G
Dm

So if your heart is real
F

You will hear Big Will and Ms. Lauryn Hill

If your love is true,

you will hear Badu- ism

  • 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.
