Тексты песен Talib Kweli

Текст песни "Astronomy (8th Light)"


[Mos Def]
Against the canvas of the night
Appears a curious celestial
phenomena
called Black Star, but what is it?

[Talib Kweli]
Black people unite and let's all get
down
We got to have what? We got to
have that love

[Mos Def]
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

[Talib Kweli]
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

[Mos Def]
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 crosshairs
Blacker than my granddaddy armchair
He never really got no time to chill
there
Cause this life is warfare, warfare

[Talib Kweli]
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

[M] Like the student love the teacher
[T] Like the prophet love Khadeja
[M] Like I love my baby features
[A] Like the creator love all creatures

[Talib Kweli]
Who acknowledge truth and peace
seekers
We on point like heat seekers
Targettin the black marketing
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

[Mos Def]
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

[M] You know who else is a Black
Star? (Who?) Me
[T] You know who else is a Black
Star? (Who?) Me
[A] You know who else is a Black
Star, who we? (And we)
[A] be shinin and shinin, when we
rhymin and rhymin
We be shinin and shinin, when we
rhymin and rhymin

[Mos Def]
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

[T] You know the light
[M] Go from the dark
[T] The other way is ass-backwards
[M] It's absurd
[T] Make you wanna crow like a
blackbird
[M] That's right
[T] You livin from your first day to your
last night
[T] Sometimes you show your ass like
[M] Lint on your clothes
[T] When you froze in
[A] THE BLACK LIGHT
[M] Dead that
[T] Before you get your head
wrapped
[M] Like Badu
[T] We see through your voodoo
[T] Just like Eve's Bayou, you dealin
with that black magic
[M] Try to civilize you
[T] Not walk on by you
[M] Like civil-(lies do get you black
listed) it'll
[T] Be unlucky for you like a black
cat
[M] A panther
[T] Revolution is the answer
[M] That's what we need
[T] Greed plague my people like the
cancer
[M] True indeed

[Mos Def]
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
Equalin up to eight, light sh
