mos def talib kweli - astronomy (8th light) كلمات الأغنية

against the canvas of the night
appears a curious celestial phenomena
(black people unite and let’s all get down)
called black star but what is it?
(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 shinin’ 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 mol-sses
star, on the rise, in the eyes of the m-sses
black is the color of my true love’s hair
star’s are bright, shinin’, hot b-lls 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 -ss-ssin crosshairs
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
targettin’ the black marketin’ 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

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 shinin’ and shinin’, when we rhymin’ and rhymin’
we be shinin’ and shinin’, when we rhymin’ and rhymin’

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 -ss-backwards, it’s absurd
make you wanna crow like a blackbird, that’s right
you livin’ from your first day to your last night

sometimes you show your -ss 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 dealin’ 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, like my people like the cancer
true indeed

now black people unite, 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 8th light shine bright

- mos def talib kweli
