Astronomy (8th Light)
Blackstar

Against the canvas of the night

Appears a curious celestial phenomena

Called Black Star, but what is it?

Black people unite and let's all get down

We got to have what? We got to have that love

What is the Black Star?

Is it the cat with the black shades, the black car?

Is it shining from very far, to where you are?

It is commonplace and different

Intimate and distant

Fresher than an infant

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

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

Like the student love the teacher

Like the prophet love Khadeja

Like I love my baby features

Like the creator love all creatures

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 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

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
