Star's are bright, shining, hot balls of air
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 cross hairs
Blacker than my granddaddy
armchair
He never really got no time
to chill there
Cause this life is warfare, warfare
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
Who acknowledge truth and peace seekers We
on point like heat seekers
Targeting the black marketing strategists
Run up on 'em with the heaters
Everybody following with no leaders
Feeling like we killing 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
Blacker than the nighttime sky
of BedStuy 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
You know who else is a Black
Star? (Who?) Me
You know who else is a Black
Star? (Who?) Me
You know who else is a Black Star,
who we? (And we)
Be shining and shining,
when we rhyming and rhyming
We be shining and shining,
when we rhyming and rhyming
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
You know the light
Go from the dark
The other way is ass- backwards
It's absurd
Make you want to crow
like a blackbird
That's right
You living from your first day to
your last night
Sometimes you show your ass like
Lint on your clothes
When you froze in
The black light
Dead that
Before you get your head wrapped
Like Badu
We see through your voodoo
Just like Eve's Bayou,
you dealing with that black magic
Try to civilize you
Not walk on by you
Like civil- (lies do get
you black listed) it'll
Be unlucky for you like a black cat
A panther
Revolution is the answer
That's what we need
Greed plague my people like the cancer
True indeed
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
Equaling up to eight, light shine bright
