    Jamaicans in foreign?

    Every day them talking about
    F

    Jamaican parsley
    G

    Your
    C
    G

    Honor, as you can plainly see, when I was in power,

    things were going to get right.
    C

    I had all the white people
    F

    with money on my side.
    G
    C

    All the brown people were starting
    F

    to feel as if they were living in
    G

    Miami.
    C

    But what about black people?
    F
    G
    C

    Well, as I was just getting around to them,
    G
    C

    I lost the elections,

    Your
    F

    Honor.
    G
    C

    That is no excuse your honor,
    G
    C
    F

    before him black people were getting very self -sufficient.
    G
    C

    Black people were starting
    G

    to acquire homes in

    Miami.
    F

    That is because they were running
    G

    away your honor.
    C

    White people started to
    F

    say I and I are direct.
    G
    C
    G

    Your honor, if it wasn't for him and his black ideology
    F
    G
    C

    we would reach much further.

    Your honor, we never have
    F

    poor people on the mind.
    G
    C

    That is why we are having

    so much trouble now.
    F
    G

    Your honor, it's him change, not me
    C
    F

    Your honor, him have a party of gangs
    G
    C

    It's him say so himself
    F

    Shut up! I see no difference

    between both of you
    G
    C
    F

    You both following the same thing that has and
    G
    C

    is still keeping down black people
    F

    When you're not in power, your honor,
    G

    it is easy to say this and that
    C
    F

    But when you have power, it is very different
    G
    C

    A different song you have to sing

    I am giving you both an
    F
    G

    other 1000 years
    C

    None of you have the solutions
    F

    to black people problem
    G

    I suggest you read the philosophy
    C

    and opinions of

    Marcus

    Garvey
    F

    Study him carefully,
    G
    C

    then I might just grant you a pardon

    And another thing,
    F
    G

    before I begin the sentence
    C

    Both of you should visit

    Arcade
    F

    And see how poor women run
    G

    business from nothing
    C
    F
    G

    Let the domestic helpers show you how to use one hundred
    C
    F

    and thirty dollars to feed a family of six for one week.
    G
    C

    Now take them away!

    • 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.
