Lyrics for Astronomy (8th Light) by Mos Def:
| | | Artist: | Mos Def |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Astronomy (8th Light) | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 78 | | | | Lyrics: | [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]
