Against the of the night Appears a curious phenomena Called Star, but what is it?
Black people unite and let's all get We got to what? We got to have that love

Black, my family thick, like striped molasses Star, on the rise, in the of the masses Black is the color of my true hair Star's are bright, shining, hot of air

Magnetic" to respect the angelic, climb the mountaintop And tell it til the valley's full of big chat but you nah know me I'm dark like the side of the moon you see When the moon shine
You know who else is a Star? (Who?) Me You know who else is a Star? (Who?) Me You who else is a Black Star, who we? (And we) Be shining and shining, when we rhyming and We be shining and shining, when we rhyming and
