Against the canvas of the Appears a celestial phenomena Black Star, but what is it?
Black people and let's all get down We got to have what? We got to have love
What is the Black Is it the cat with the black shades, the black Is it shining from far, to where you are? It is commonplace and Intimate and than an infant
Black, my family thick, they're striped molasses Star, on the rise, in the eyes of the is the color of my true love's hair Star's are bright, shining, hot of air
Black like my girl's stare Black like the veil the muslimina wear Black like the that they fear, why they scared? Black like the slave ship later brought us here Black like the that are roadways for tears That leave black faces traveled with years Black like cross hairs Blacker my granddaddy armchair He never got no time to chill there Cause this is warfare, warfare
Deep on the front lines, and is all there like the perception of who, on welfare Black like faces at the bottom of the I've been before To bring the light and it up like "la cocina" Make without happen but maybe I'm just a dreamer I rockin tracks like John Coltrane love Naema
Like the student the teacher the prophet love Khadeja Like I love my baby Like the love all creatures
Who acknowledge and peace seekers We on point heat seekers Targeting the marketing strategists Run up on em the heaters Everybody with no leaders Feeling we killing ourselves I know they can't defeat us It don't stop til we this, keep this fly There's so much to life you just stay Black and God
Blacker the nighttime sky of Bed-Stuy in July Blacker the seed in the blackberry pie than the middle of my eye Black feh-lah man cry man wan ask "Who am I?" I reply, "The U.N.I., V.E.R.S.A.L. Magnetic" Work to respect the angelic, climb the And tell it til the valley's You're of big chat but you nah know me I'm dark the side of the moon you don't see When the moon shine
You know who is a Black Star? (Who?) Me You know who else is a Black (Who?) Me You who else is a Black Star, who we? (And we) Be shining and shining, when we and rhyming We be and shining, when we rhyming and rhyming
