Astronomy (8th Light) - Black Star[00:00:00]

Written by：Weldon Irvine[00:00:01]

Against the canvas of the night[00:00:03]

Appears a curious celestial phenomenon[00:00:06]

Black people unite and let's all get down[00:00:07]

We got to have what we got to have that love[00:00:09]

What is the Black Star[00:00:12]

Is it the cat with the black shades the black car[00:00:13]

Is it shining from very far to where you are[00:00:16]

It is commonplace and different[00:00:19]

Intimate and distant[00:00:20]

Fresher than an infant[00:00:21]

Black my family thick like black strap molasses[00:00:23]

Star on the rise in the eyes of the masses[00:00:25]

Black is the color of my true love's hair[00:00:28]

Stars are bright shining hot balls of air[00:00:30]

Black like my baby girl's stare[00:00:33]

Black like the veil that the muslimina wear[00:00:35]

Black like the planet that they fear why they scared[00:00:37]

Black like the slave ship belly that brought us here[00:00:40]

Black like the cheeks that are roadways for tears[00:00:42]

That leave black faces well traveled with years[00:00:45]

Black like assassin crosshairs[00:00:48]

Blacker than my granddaddy armchair[00:00:49]

He never really got no time to chill there[00:00:52]

Cause this life is warfare warfare[00:00:54]

Deep on the front lines and blacks is all there[00:00:56]

Black like the perception of who on welfare[00:00:58]

Black like faces at the bottom of the well[00:01:01]

I've been there before[00:01:02]

To bring the light and heat it up like la cocina[00:01:04]

Make without imagine happen but maybe I'm just a dreamer[00:01:06]

I love rocking tracks like John Coltrane love Naima[00:01:09]

Like the student love the teacher[00:01:11]

Like the prophet love Khadija[00:01:12]

Like I love my baby features[00:01:13]

Like the creator love all creatures[00:01:15]

Who are knowledge truth and peace seekers[00:01:17]

We on point like heat seekers[00:01:19]

Targetting the black marketing strategists[00:01:20]

Run up on 'em with the heaters[00:01:22]

Everybody following with no leaders[00:01:24]

Feeling like we killing ourselves[00:01:26]

Because I know they can't defeat us[00:01:27]

It don't stop 'til we complete this keep this fly[00:01:29]

There's so much to life when you just stay black and die[00:01:32]

Blacker than the nighttime sky of Bed-Stuy in July[00:01:34]

Blacker than the seed in the blackberry pie[00:01:37]

Blacker than the middle of my eye[00:01:39]

Black like Fela man cry[00:01:41]

Some man wan ask[00:01:43]

Who am I[00:01:44]

I simply reply The U N I V E R S A L Magnetic[00:01:45]

Work to respect the angelic[00:01:49]

Climb the mountain top and tell it 'til the valley's enveloped[00:01:51]

You're full of big chat but you nah know me[00:01:54]

I'm dark like the side of the moon you don't see[00:01:57]

When the moon shine newly[00:01:59]

You know who else is a Black Star[00:02:01]

Who me[00:02:03]

You know who else is a Black Star[00:02:04]

Who me[00:02:05]

You know who else is a Black Star who we and we[00:02:06]

Be shining and shining when we rhymin and rhymin[00:02:10]

We be shining and shining when we rhymin and rhymin[00:02:12]

Now everybody hop on the one the sounds of the two[00:02:15]

It's the third eye vision five side dimension[00:02:17]

The 8th light is gonna shine bright tonight[00:02:20]

It's the third eye vision five side dimension[00:02:22]

You know the light[00:02:25]

Go from the dark[00:02:26]

The other way is a**-backwards[00:02:26]

It's absurd[00:02:28]

Make you wanna crow like a blackbird[00:02:29]

That's right[00:02:30]

You living from your first day to your last night[00:02:31]

Sometimes you show your a** like[00:02:33]

Lint on your clothes[00:02:34]

When you froze in[00:02:35]

The black light[00:02:36]

Dead that[00:02:37]

Before you get your head wrapped[00:02:37]

Like Badu[00:02:39]

We see through your voodoo[00:02:39]

Just like Eve's Bayou you dealing with that black magic[00:02:41]

Try to civilize you[00:02:43]

Not walk on by you[00:02:44]

Like Sybillies do get you black listed it'll[00:02:46]

Be unlucky for you like a black cat[00:02:48]

A panther[00:02:50]

Revolution is the answer[00:02:51]

That's what we need[00:02:52]

Greed plague my people like the cancer[00:02:53]

True indeed[00:02:55]

Now black people unite and let's all get down[00:02:56]

Now everybody hop on the one the sounds of the two[00:02:58]

It's the third eye vision five side dimension[00:03:01]

The 8th light is gonna shine bright tonight[00:03:03]

Everybody hop on the one the sounds of the two[00:03:06]

It's the third eye vision five side dimension[00:03:08]

The 8th light is gonna shine bright tonight[00:03:11]

It's the third eye vision five side dimension[00:03:13]

Equaling up to eight light shine bright[00:03:16]
