Astronomy (8th Light) Songtext

Against the canvas of the night
Appears a curious celestial phenomena
Black people unite and let′s all get down
We got to have what? We got to have that love

What is the black star?
Is it the cat with the black shades, the black car?
Is it shining from very far, to where you are?
It is commonplace and different
Intimate and distant, fresher than an infant

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


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

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 rocking tracks like John Coltrane love Naema

Like the student love the teacher
Like the prophet love Khadija
Like I love my baby features
Like the creator love all creatures


Who acknowledge truth and peace seekers
We on point like heat seekers
Targetting the black marketing strategists
Run up on ′em with the heaters
Everybody following with no leaders
Feeling like we killing ourselves
Because I know they can't defeat us
It don′t stop 'til we complete this, keep this fly
There′s so much to life when you just stay black and God

Blacker than the nighttime sky of Bed star in July
Blacker than the seed in the blackberry pie
Blacker than the middle of my eye
Black like Fela man cry
Some man once asked, "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 valley's enveloped
You′re full of big chat, but you not know me
I′m dark like the side of the moon you don't see
When the moon shine newly

You know who else is a black star? (Who?) Me
You know who else is a black star? (Who?) Me
You know who else is a black star, who we? (And we)
Be shining and shining, when we rhyming and rhyming
We be shining and shining, when we rhyming and rhyming

Now everybody hop on the one, the sounds of the two
It′s the third eye vision, five side dimension
The eight Light, is gon' shine bright tonight
It′s the third eye vision, five side dimension

You know the light, go from the dark
The other way is ass backwards
It's absurd
Make you wanna crow like a blackbird
That′s right
You living from your first day to your last night
Sometimes you show your ass like
Lint on your clothes

When you froze in the black light, dead that
Before you get your head wrapped, like Badu
We see through your voodoo
Just like Eve's Bayou, you dealing with that black magic

Try to civilize you
Not walk on by you
Like civil-lize do get you black listed, it'll
Be unlucky for you like a black cat
A panther
Revolution is the answer
That′s what we need
Greed plague my people like the cancer
True indeed

Now black people unite, let′s all get down
Now everybody hop on the one, the sounds of the two
It's the third eye vision, five side dimension
The eighth light, is gon′ shine bright tonight

Everybody hop on the one, the sounds of the two
It's the third eye vision, five side dimension
The eighth light, is gon′ shine bright tonight
It's the third eye vision, five side dimension
Equalling up to eight, light shine bright (this is a black amn right there)
