    • Verse 1
    Tafari 
    tries to 
    get 
    a job 

    Ten 
    letters 
    be
    hind 
    his 
    name. 

    Born 
    up in 
    the corn
    fields 

    Tafari doesn't 
    the 
    game 

    Verse 2
    The 
    game 
    has not 
    respect 
    for life 

    Even 
    less 
    for 
    rules. 
    Winners 

    only 
    need 
    apply, 

    Sorry 
    no rooms 
    for 
    fools. 

    Tafari, looks 
    up

    the 
    stars 
    and 

    Verse 3
    Wonders 
    if there's 
    life 
    on 
    Mars 

    Some 
    say, he 
    should 
    shave 
    his 
    head, 

    But 
    he's 
    proud 
    to be 
    a 
    dread. 

    Verse 4
    (Chorus) 
    'Cause I'll 
    be 

    stronger
    . 

    For 
    the truth, 
    I know 
    takes 
    longer 

    I've 
    the 
    cunning 
    of 
    the ti
    ger 
    and 
    the 

    Wisdom 
    of 
    the 
    trees. 

    I 
    won't 
    be sad, 
    refuse 
    the sor
    row 

    I 
    look 
    for
    ward 
    to 
    tomor
    row 

    I'll 
    release 
    my 
    an
    ger, 

    ''cause 
    I'm 
    proud 
    to be 
    a 
    dread. 

    Verse 5
    Selassie, 
    tries 
    to 
    find 
    a home, 

    To 
    rest 
    his weary 
    head. 

    A 
    place 
    where he 
    can 
    take 
    his girl 

    To share 
    his spir
    itual 
    bed. 

    Verse 6
    When 
    he's greeted 
    at 
    the door, 

    The 
    sign 
    has changed 
    his 
    tune. 

    Though 
    his Queen 
    is 
    full 
    of 
    child, 

    sorry. 

    There's 
    no 
    room. 

    Verse 7
    Selassie 
    looks 
    up to 
    the 
    clouds, 

    He 
    curses 
    hard 
    and 
    shouts 
    of out 
    loud. 

    Re
    membering 
    his father
    's words, 

    A 
    whisper 
    from 
    the 
    dead. 

    Interlude 1


    (Chorus) 
    'Cause in 
    this 
    Verse 8

    life, 
    you have 
    to 

    Take 
    a chance, 
    or 
    why 
    else 
    live 
    at all. 

    'Cause 
    in 
    this 
    life, 
    to climb 
    a mountain, 

    Some
    times 
    expect 
    to 
    fall. 

    Verse 9
    'Cause 
    in 
    this 
    life 
    nothing 
    comes 
    easy, 

    If 
    it 
    does, 
    it has 
    a price. 

    'Cause 
    in 
    this 
    life 
    a martyr 
    suffers, 

    Look 
    at Je
    sus 
    Christ

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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 🙂

      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.
