Verse 1
Am

I think this gives it a more up

-to -date thing.
F

It's something that is in

the style

that's popular now

and it's something that,

not being that so traditional,

maybe will make people listen a

little bit more

because it's something different,
Em

something they haven't heard

a million times.
Am
Em

And almost everything in this program

Dear Marcus,

I know it's been a hard time

Since they made you the victim
Em
Am

of your so -called crime

Kinda snatched you off the game of life

In your prime, they already took one
Em

Won't let them take mine
Am

Since birth, it seems the deck

was stacked against you to fail

With your father not there,

mom's in and out of jail

But you saw through it all

and you chose to excel

I can't see why they chose to
Em

lock you in a cell

Well, I'm prayin' that you're free
Am

by the time you get this

Never known a convict
F
Am

with a 396 GPA

But in Rome, G8,
Em

black boys havin' sex with white girls,

no way
Am

In most any other state,

it would've been okay

For two high school teens
Em
Am

to have sexual relations

But at age 15, that's molestation

in the great state of Georgia

And I really feel for you,

she was only 3 months

away from being 16

You a few months away
Em
Am

from achieving your dreams
Em

All American, played on a football team
Am

Accepted into Vanderbilt,
F

a scholar in the making
Am

And the jury saw fit

to acquit you of the raping
Em
Am

After only 15 minutes of deliberation

What's the state of our nation

when the laws ain't in check?

How'd you serve it
Em

10 years for consensual sex?
Am

I'm per plexed and ashamed

at the games that they play

Trying to keep a young man

from his life and education

Not to mention the family

you've been with since age 10

Regardless of your race,
Em
Am

they loved you and took you in

So let your struggle make you great,

don't let it make you hate

No, we won't stop working
Em

till you free from them gates
Am

Much love and respect,

hold your head, God bless

From the bottom of my heart,
Em

  • 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.
