    Verse 1
    Trinidad 
    is 
    my 
    land, 

    And 
    of 
    it 
    I 
    am 
    proud 
    an
    d 
    glad, 

    But 
    I 
    can't 
    un
    derstand 
    why 

    some 
    people 
    have 
    stuck 
    it 
    bad 

    But 
    I 
    know 
    all 
    of 
    them 
    will 

    run 
    in 
    their 
    mouth 

    Don't 
    know 
    what 

    they're 
    talking 
    about 

    They 
    will 
    paint 
    you 
    black 
    every 
    day 

    And 
    the 
    right 
    things 
    they 
    will 
    never 
    say 

    Like 
    our 
    sportsmen 
    being 

    rated 
    among 
    the 
    be
    st 

    Our 
    scholars 
    have 
    sit 
    and 

    passed 
    every 
    test 

    And 
    put 
    us 
    right 
    alongside 
    the 
    rest 

    But 
    then 
    our 
    pig's 
    leg 

    is 
    the 
    greatest 
    one 
    of 
    its 
    kind 

    Our 
    sugar 
    and 
    oil 
    is 
    ready 
    re
    fined 

    So 
    you 
    see 
    friend, 
    this 
    is 
    a 
    real 
    thing, 

    so 
    no 
    man's 
    mind 

    They 
    just 
    talk 
    some 
    nonsense, 

    me 
    ain't 
    know 
    where 

    they're 
    doing 
    it 
    for 

    About 
    so 
    much 
    viol
    ence, 

    man 
    you 
    would 
    swear 
    that 

    we're 
    fighting 
    war 

    Of 
    course, 
    we 
    have 
    the 
    delinquency 
    base 

    But 
    just 
    like 
    any 
    other 
    place, 
    look, 

    thing
    s that 
    I 
    say 
    about 
    here, 

    is 
    really 
    too 
    much 
    for 
    me 
    to 
    bear 

    Because 
    my 
    people 
    are 

    daily 
    making 
    progress, 

    without 
    any 
    form 
    of 
    stupid
    ness 

    And 
    in 
    this 
    way 
    we 
    must 
    gain 
    suc
    cess 

    For 
    when 
    we 
    move 
    in, 

    we 
    all 
    move 
    as 
    one 
    body, 

    no 
    bicker
    ing 
    between 
    you 
    and 
    me 

    Our 
    policy 
    stands 
    for 
    racial 
    equal
    ity 

    Now 
    when 
    a 
    stranger's 

    spending 
    a 
    little 
    time 

    in 
    this 
    lovely 
    isle 

    Every 
    day 
    you 
    see 
    him, 

    he 
    al
    ways 
    have 
    a 
    hearty 
    smile 

    When 
    his 
    time 
    is 
    up 
    to 
    depart 

    He 
    would 
    say 
    with 
    pride 
    in 
    heart, 

    I'll 
    be 
    back, 
    you could 
    bet 
    your 
    life 

    And 
    if 
    I 
    can't 
    come, 
    I'll 
    go 
    send 
    my 
    wife 

    And 
    let 
    me 
    tell 
    you, 

    he 
    rarely 
    wants 
    a 
    to 
    come 

    To 
    drink 
    some 
    rum 
    and 
    have 
    plenty 
    fun 

    In 
    this 
    great 
    island 
    in 
    the 
    sun

    But 
    when 
    Itali
    an, 

    as 
    foreign 
    as 
    do 
    we 
    call 

    It 
    doesn't 
    matter 
    whether 
    big 
    or 
    small 

    Or 
    if 
    you're 
    rich 
    or 
    poor, 

    friendly 
    caters 
    for 
    one 
    and 
    all 

    So 
    all 
    of 
    them 
    we're 
    talk
    ing, 

    they're 
    either 
    drunk 
    or 

    they're 
    staring 
    mad 

    Or 
    maybe 
    they 
    forget 
    it, 

    if 
    the 
    uni
    verse 
    be
    longs 
    to 
    Trinidad 

    And 
    yet, 
    we 
    have 
    men 
    of 
    talent 
    and 
    skill, 

    with 
    high 
    hopes 
    of 
    improving 
    still 

    And 
    if 
    you 
    think 
    all 
    this 
    is 
    a 
    lie, 

    the 
    mighty 
    sniper 
    won't 
    tell 
    you 
    why 

    Now 
    our 
    steel 
    bands, 

    is 
    the 
    best 
    talent 
    in 
    this 
    world 

    Like 
    how 
    it 
    shows 
    how 
    stories 
    are 
    told 

    This 
    is 
    written 
    to 
    touch 
    your 
    soul 

    So 
    Trinid
    ad, 

    this 
    lovely 
    land 
    of 
    my 
    birth 

    Small 
    but 
    overwhelming 
    in 
    worth 

    An
    d 
    as 
    you 
    know, 
    Carnival 
    is 
    the 
    greatest 
    holi
    day 
    of 
    all

      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

      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.
