1. [Mos Def]
   Against the canvas of the night
   Appears a curious celestial phenomenon
   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 black strap molasses
   Star, on the rise, in the eyes of the masses
   Black is the color of my true love's hair
   Stars 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 belly that 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
   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 Naima
   
   [M] Like the student love the teacher
   [T] Like the prophet love Khadija
   [M] Like I love my baby features
   [A] Like the creator love all creatures
   
   [Talib Kweli]
   Who are knowledge, 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 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 die
   
   [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 Fela 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 mountain top and tell it 'til the valley's enveloped
   You're full of big chat but you nah know me
   I'm dark like the side of the moon you don't 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
   It's the third eye vision, five side dimension
   The 8th Light, is gonna shine bright tonight
   It's 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] It's absurd
   [T] Make you wanna crow like a blackbird
   [M] That's 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 Eve's Bayou, you dealin with that black magic
   [M] Try to civilize you
   [T] Not walk on by you
   [M] Like Sybil lies do get you black listed, it'll
   [T] Be unlucky for you like a black cat
   [M] A panther
   [T] Revolution is the answer
   [M] That's what we need
   [T] Greed plague my people like the cancer
   [M] True indeed
   [Mos Def]
   Now black people unite, and 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 8th Light, is gonna shine bright tonight
   Everybody hop on the one, the sounds of the two
   It's the third eye vision, five side dimension
   The 8th Light, is gonna shine bright tonight
   It's the third eye vision, five side dimension
   Equalin up to eight, light shine bright
