[00:00:00] Astronomy (8th Light) - Black Star

[00:00:01] Written by：Weldon Irvine

[00:00:03] Against the canvas of the night

[00:00:06] Appears a curious celestial phenomenon

[00:00:07] Black people unite and let's all get down

[00:00:09] We got to have what we got to have that love

[00:00:12] What is the Black Star

[00:00:13] Is it the cat with the black shades the black car

[00:00:16] Is it shining from very far to where you are

[00:00:19] It is commonplace and different

[00:00:20] Intimate and distant

[00:00:21] Fresher than an infant

[00:00:23] Black my family thick like black strap molasses

[00:00:25] Star on the rise in the eyes of the masses

[00:00:28] Black is the color of my true love's hair

[00:00:30] Stars are bright shining hot balls of air

[00:00:33] Black like my baby girl's stare

[00:00:35] Black like the veil that the muslimina wear

[00:00:37] Black like the planet that they fear why they scared

[00:00:40] Black like the slave ship belly that brought us here

[00:00:42] Black like the cheeks that are roadways for tears

[00:00:45] That leave black faces well traveled with years

[00:00:48] Black like assassin crosshairs

[00:00:49] Blacker than my granddaddy armchair

[00:00:52] He never really got no time to chill there

[00:00:54] Cause this life is warfare warfare

[00:00:56] Deep on the front lines and blacks is all there

[00:00:58] Black like the perception of who on welfare

[00:01:01] Black like faces at the bottom of the well

[00:01:02] I've been there before

[00:01:04] To bring the light and heat it up like la cocina

[00:01:06] Make without imagine happen but maybe I'm just a dreamer

[00:01:09] I love rocking tracks like John Coltrane love Naima

[00:01:11] Like the student love the teacher

[00:01:12] Like the prophet love Khadija

[00:01:13] Like I love my baby features

[00:01:15] Like the creator love all creatures

[00:01:17] Who are knowledge truth and peace seekers

[00:01:19] We on point like heat seekers

[00:01:20] Targetting the black marketing strategists

[00:01:22] Run up on 'em with the heaters

[00:01:24] Everybody following with no leaders

[00:01:26] Feeling like we killing ourselves

[00:01:27] Because I know they can't defeat us

[00:01:29] It don't stop 'til we complete this keep this fly

[00:01:32] There's so much to life when you just stay black and die

[00:01:34] Blacker than the nighttime sky of Bed-Stuy in July

[00:01:37] Blacker than the seed in the blackberry pie

[00:01:39] Blacker than the middle of my eye

[00:01:41] Black like Fela man cry

[00:01:43] Some man wan ask

[00:01:44] Who am I

[00:01:45] I simply reply The U N I V E R S A L Magnetic

[00:01:49] Work to respect the angelic

[00:01:51] Climb the mountain top and tell it 'til the valley's enveloped

[00:01:54] You're full of big chat but you nah know me

[00:01:57] I'm dark like the side of the moon you don't see

[00:01:59] When the moon shine newly

[00:02:01] You know who else is a Black Star

[00:02:03] Who me

[00:02:04] You know who else is a Black Star

[00:02:05] Who me

[00:02:06] You know who else is a Black Star who we and we

[00:02:10] Be shining and shining when we rhymin and rhymin

[00:02:12] We be shining and shining when we rhymin and rhymin

[00:02:15] Now everybody hop on the one the sounds of the two

[00:02:17] It's the third eye vision five side dimension

[00:02:20] The 8th light is gonna shine bright tonight

[00:02:22] It's the third eye vision five side dimension

[00:02:25] You know the light

[00:02:26] Go from the dark

[00:02:26] The other way is a**-backwards

[00:02:28] It's absurd

[00:02:29] Make you wanna crow like a blackbird

[00:02:30] That's right

[00:02:31] You living from your first day to your last night

[00:02:33] Sometimes you show your a** like

[00:02:34] Lint on your clothes

[00:02:35] When you froze in

[00:02:36] The black light

[00:02:37] Dead that

[00:02:37] Before you get your head wrapped

[00:02:39] Like Badu

[00:02:39] We see through your voodoo

[00:02:41] Just like Eve's Bayou you dealing with that black magic

[00:02:43] Try to civilize you

[00:02:44] Not walk on by you

[00:02:46] Like Sybillies do get you black listed it'll

[00:02:48] Be unlucky for you like a black cat

[00:02:50] A panther

[00:02:51] Revolution is the answer

[00:02:52] That's what we need

[00:02:53] Greed plague my people like the cancer

[00:02:55] True indeed

[00:02:56] Now black people unite and let's all get down

[00:02:58] Now everybody hop on the one the sounds of the two

[00:03:01] It's the third eye vision five side dimension

[00:03:03] The 8th light is gonna shine bright tonight

[00:03:06] Everybody hop on the one the sounds of the two

[00:03:08] It's the third eye vision five side dimension

[00:03:11] The 8th light is gonna shine bright tonight

[00:03:13] It's the third eye vision five side dimension

[00:03:16] Equaling up to eight light shine bright
