Mos Def - Astronomy слова песни
[mos def]Against the canvas of the nightAppears a curious celestial phenomenaCalled black star, but what is it? [talib kweli]Black people unite and lets all get downWe 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 differentIntimate and distantFresher than an infant[talib kweli]Black, my family thick, like theyre striped molassesStar, on the rise, in the eyes of the massesBlack is the color of my true loves hairStars are bright, shining, hot balls of air[mos def]Black like my baby girls stareBlack like the veil that the muslimina wearBlack like the planet that they fear, why they scared? Black like the slave ship that later brought us hereBlack like the cheeks that are roadways for tearsThat leave black faces well traveled with yearsBlack like assassin crosshairsBlacker than my granddaddy armchairHe never really got no time to chill thereCause this life is warfare, warfare[talib kweli]Deep on the front lines, and blacks is all thereBlack like the perception of who, on welfareBlack like faces at the bottom of the wellIve been there beforeTo bring the light and heat it up like "la cocina"Make without imagine happen but maybe Im just a dreamerI 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 seekersWe on point like heat seekersTargettin the black marketing strategistsRun up on em with the heatersEverybody followin with no leadersFeelin like we killin ourselvesBecause I know they cant defeat usIt dont stop til we complete this, keep this flyTheres so much to life when you just stay black and god[mos def]Blacker than the nighttime sky of bed-stuy in julyBlacker than the seed in the blackberry pieBlacker than the middle of my eyeBlack like feh-lah man crySome 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 mountaintopAnd tell it til the valleys envelopedYoure full of big chat but you nah know meIm dark like the side of the moon you dont seeWhen the moon shine newly[m] you know who else is a black star?
