| | | Artist: | Black Star |
| | Album: | Mos Def And Talib Kweli Are Black Star | | Track: | Astronomy (8th Light) | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 5 | | | | Lyrics: | [mos def]
Against the canvas of the night
Appears a curious celestial phenomena
Called black star, but what is it?
[talib kweli]
Black people unite and let's all
get down
We got to have what? we got to have that love
[mos def]
What is the
black star?
Is it the cat with the black shades, the black car?
Is it shinin from very
far, to where you are?
It is commonplace and different
Intimate and distant
Fresher
than an infant
[talib kweli]
Black, my family thick, like they're striped
molasses
Star, on the rise, in the eyes of the masses
Black is the color of my true love's
hair
Star's are bright, shining, hot balls of air
[mos def]
Black like my baby
girl's stare
Black like the veil that the muslimina wear
Black like the planet that they
fear, why they scared?
Black like the slave ship that later brought us here
Black like the
cheeks that are roadways for tears
That leave black faces well traveled with years
Black
like assassin crosshairs
Blacker than my granddaddy armchair
He never really got no time
to chill there
Cause this life is warfare, warfare
[talib kweli]
Deep on the
front lines, and blacks is all there
Black like the perception of who, on welfare
Black
like faces at the bottom of the well
I've been there before
To bring the light and heat it
up like "la cocina"
Make without imagine happen but maybe i'm just a dreamer
I
love rockin tracks like john coltrane love naema
[m] like the student love the
teacher
[t] like the prophet love khadeja
[m] like i love my baby features
[a] like
the creator love all creatures
[talib kweli]
Who acknowledge truth and peace
seekers
We on point like heat seekers
Targettin the black marketing strategists
Run
up on em with the heaters
Everybody followin with no leaders
Feelin like we killin
ourselves
Because i know they can't defeat us
It don't stop til we complete this, keep
this fly
There's so much to life when you just stay black and god
[mos def]
Blacker than the nighttime sky of bed-stuy in july
Blacker than the seed in the blackberry
pie
Blacker than the middle of my eye
Black like feh-lah man cry
Some man wan ask
"who am i?"
I simply reply, "the u.n.i., v.e.r.s.a.l. magnetic"
Work
to respect the angelic, climb the mountaintop
And tell it til the valley's enveloped
You're full of big chat but you nah know me
I'm dark like the side of the moon you don't
see
When the moon shine newly
[m] you know who else is a black star? (who?)
me
[t] you know who else is a black star? (who?) me
[a] you know who else is a black
star, who we? (and we)
[a] be shinin and shinin, when we rhymin and rhymin
We be shinin
and shinin, when we rhymin and rhymin
[mos def]
Now everybody hop on the one, the
sounds of the two
It's the third eye vision, five side dimension
The 8th light, is gonna
shine bright tonight
It's the third eye vision, five side dimension
[t] you know the
light
[m] go from the dark
[t] the other way is ass-backwards
[m] it's absurd
[t] make you wanna crow like a blackbird
[m] that's right
[t] you livin from your first
day to your last night
[t] sometimes you show your ass like
[m] lint on your clothes
[t] when you froze in
[a] the black light
[m] dead that
[t] before you get your head
wrapped
[m] like badu
[t] we see through your voodoo
[t] just like eve's bayou, you
dealin with that black magic
[m] try to civilize you
[t] not walk on by you
[m] like
civil-(lies do get you black listed) it'll
[t] be unlucky for you like a black cat
[m] a
panther
[t] revolution is the answer
[m] that's what we need
[t] greed plague my
people like the cancer
[m] true indeed
[mos def]
Now black people unite, and
let's all get down
Now everybody hop on the one, the sounds of the two
It's the third eye
vision, five side dimension
The 8th light, is gonna shine bright tonight
Everybody hop on
the one, the sounds of the two
It's the third eye vision, five side dimension
The 8th
light, is gonna shine bright tonight
It's the third eye vision, five side dimension
Equalin up to eight, light shine bright | | | |
