Solo, I'm a soloist or a solo list
All live, never on a floppy disk
Inka, inka, bottle of ink
Paintings of rebellion
Drawn up by the thoughts I think

It's set up like a deck of cards
They're sending us to early graves
For all the diamonds
They'll use a pair of clubs to beat the spades
With poetry I paint the pictures that hit
More like the murals that fit
Don't turn away
Get in front of it

Chorus:
Brotha did ya forget ya name
Did ya lose it on the wall
Playin' tic-tac-toe

Yo, check the diagonal
Three brothers gone
Come one
Doesn't that make it three in a row
Anger is a gift

Chorus

Yo, check the diagonal
Three million gone
Come on
'Cause they're counting backwards to zero

Environment
The environment exceeding on the level
Of our unconciousness
For example
What does the billboard say
Come and play, come and play
Forget about the movement
Anger is a gift

Freedom, freedom, yea right

        The first riff is

        E-------------------------------------------------x-x-x---------
        B-------------------------------------------------x-x-x---------
        G-------------------------------------------------x-x-x---------
        D---------------------------------------------------------------
        A---5-------3---------5-5----5-------3---------5----------------
        E-----0-3-5---5-3-5-3----0-3---0-3-5---5-3-5-3------------------

        this is repeated often ! Except that the last 3 notes are replaced
        with

        E---------------------------------------------------------------
        B---------------------------------------------------------------
        G---------------------------------------------------------------
        D---------------------------------5-4-3-------------------------
        A------12 slide down to 5---OR----------5-4-3-------------------
        E------12 slide down to 5---------------------------------------

        and other noises which are easy to follow.

        The riff over the verses is below 

        E---12-----12--12----12-12-12-----12---12-12--------------------
        B---10-----10--10----10-10-10-----10---10-10------5-4-5-5-------
        G---12-----12--12----12-12-12-----12---12-12------5-4-5-5-------
        D---10-----10--10----10-10-10-----10---10-10------5-4-5-5-------
        A---------------------------------------------------------------
        E------0-0-------0-0----------0-0---0-0-----0-0-----------------

        repeat etc

        The following riff is played after "anger is a gift"

        E---------------------------------------------------------------
        B---------------------------------------------------------------
        G---------------------------------------------------------------
        D---------------------------------------------------------------
        A----3-3-3-3-----5-5-3---3-5--repeat etc------------------------
        E------------5-3-------5----------------------------------------

        this changes to

        E---------------------------------------------------------------
        B---------------------------------------------------------------
        G----5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-5-7  repeat etc------------------------
        D---------------------------------------------------------------
        A---------------------------------------------------------------
        E---------------------------------------------------------------

        The following riff also occurs

        E---------------------------------------------------------------
        B---------------------------------------------------------------
        G---------------------------------------------------------------
        D----------------5-3-5-3-5-------------------3------------------
        A------5-3-5-3-5----------3-2-3-2-3----------3------------------
        E----------------------------------5-3-5-3-5-3---repeat---------

        Towards the end as the vocals first start with << freedom - yeh >>
        the guitar goes

        E---------------------------------------------------------------
        B---------------------------------------------------------------
        G-----------5-6-7-----------------------------------------------
        D---3-4-5-7----------repeat etc---------------------------------
        A-5-------------------------------------------------------------
        E---------------------------------------------------------------

        this then changes at the end bit to

        E---------------------------------------------------------------
        B-------------------------------------------------3-------------
        G-------------------------------------------------2-------------
        D------------2-5-6-7---repeat etc end chord is ---0-------------
        A--0--3-4-5--0-3-4-5------------------------------0-------------
        E--0--3-4-5---------------------------------------0-------------

        The rest of the song is just a variation on these with added
        scrapes etc.

        As with most of their songs tune the guitar down to D.

Riff 1
G----------------------------------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A-----5-------3-------5-5-----5-------3-------5------------------------------
D-------0-3-5---5-3-5-----0-3---0-3-5---5-3-5--------------------------------

(the ending of riff 1 is actually varied some--so ad lib at will!)

Riff 1 Variant: (this is played instead of Riff 1 a few times--you can hear
                 when to use it--just listen to the CD!)
G----------------------------------------------------------------------------
D------------------------------------------------5-4-3-----------------------
A-----5-------3-------5-5-----5-------3-------5--------5-4-3-----------------
D-------0-3-5---5-3-5-----0-3---0-3-5---5-3-5--------------------------------

Then the next part goes like this.

Riff 2                                             for a short while...
G----------------------------------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------------------
D---0--0--R--0--0--R--0--0--R--0--0--R--0--0--R--0--0--R--0--0------------

Then it goes back to Riff 1, and Riff 2.  This is followed by a short
interlude where only the drums and bass are playing.

After spoken:  "Anger is a gift..."

Riff 3                         X a bunch
G-----------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------|
A-----3-3-3-3-3-3-5--5-5-5-3-5------|
D-----------------------------------|

                                                4 TIMES
G------------------------------------------------------|
D*--------------5-3-5-3-5-----------------------------*|
A*---5-3-5-3-5------------3-2-3-2-3-------------------*|
D-------------------------------------5-3-5-3-5-3------|

Do Riff 2 again.

Last Riff:
The guitar plays this part softly 4 times, then the bass joins in.
The guitar gets distorted after a few times then.  Be careful, this riff
is played the same over and over for bass, but the song has a change in
accent, thanks to the drums.
                                  x lots of times
G-----------------------------------------|
D*---------------------------------------*|
A*-----------------0--3--4--5------------*|
D--------3--5--6--------------------------|

Oh...anyways.  You get the jist of it.  The riffs are there.  Just feel
the music.
