Lyrics for Astronomy (8th Light) by Talib Kweli:
| | | Artist: | Talib Kweli |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Astronomy (8th Light) | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 168 | | | | 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
