[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 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 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 

[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 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 
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 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 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 

[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 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 civil-(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
