Astronomy — текст песни (Mos Def)





[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 lets 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 theyre striped molasses

Star, on the rise, in the eyes of the masses

Black is the color of my true loves hair

Stars are bright, shining, hot balls of air



[mos def]

Black like my baby girls 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

Ive been there before

To bring the light and heat it up like "la cocina"

Make without imagine happen but maybe Im 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 cant defeat us

It dont stop til we complete this, keep this fly

Theres 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 valleys enveloped

Youre full of big chat but you nah know me

Im dark like the side of the moon you dont 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

Its the third eye vision, five side dimension

The 8th light, is gonna shine bright tonight

Its 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] its absurd

[t] make you wanna crow like a blackbird

[m] thats 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 eves 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) itll

[t] be unlucky for you like a black cat

[m] a panther

[t] revolution is the answer

[m] thats what we need

[t] greed plague my people like the cancer

[m] true indeed



[mos def]

Now black people unite, and lets all get down

Now everybody hop on the one, the sounds of the two

Its 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

Its the third eye vision, five side dimension

The 8th light, is gonna shine bright tonight

Its the third eye vision, five side dimension

Equalin up to eight, light shine bright
