[Mos Def]
2
People keep asking me, where's the underground?
3
There's mad talented cats underground with that raw shit
4
Ya know what'm saying?
5
Bringing the raw skills.
6
Ya know what I'm saying?
7
Really
8
To me, it's a Small Wonder, like Vicki, why I'm picky
9
These niggas suck like hickies
10
And still get the shit they slip in like Mickies
11
I'm sick of the hater-players, bring on the regulators
12
With the flavors like a farm team fucking with the majors
13
Like a river how I run through it, I do it so cold
14
Freezing up your bodily fluids, your style is old
15
You running your mouth, but don't really know what you be talking about
16
You should retire, get that complimentary watch, be out!
17
Yo, with the quickness, so swift you miss this lyrical fitness
18
Now get this, these emcees want to test me like litmus, bear witness
19
I'm like shot clocks, interstate cops, and blood clots
20
My point is, your flow can stop!
21
By all means, you need more practice, take that ass home
22
Everybody looking at you, fish tanks and drome
23
In full effect, I stay catching lyrical rep
24
And keep it blacker than the back of your neck
25
What you expect, that shit's hollering
26
Cause we developing the following
27
Getting played like "stones" off tapes and "dollar vans"
28
I'll reverse you, universal, your demise is first
29
Before your rise gets worse
30
You need a night nurse like Gregory, begging me
31
Stop it hurts, what you say to me?
32
Like that's supposed to mean something
33
You don't want to scene, fronting in the club
34
Your acting, I don't buy it, I got the Dub
35
Come on everybody, come on and show your love [Repeat: x4]
36
[Chorus: x4]
37
Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-uh-oh
38
[Mos Def]
39
Visions occupy my synaptic's space
40
Command and shake, to illustrate my mind's landscape
41
The tall grass, the low plains, the mountanous ridges
42
Thickets among the forests, rivers beneath the bridges
43
Presence of hilltops, lit up with tree tops
44
Eavesdrop; and hear the incline of sunshine, nine
45
Stones in orbit, refuse to forfeit
46
They all form a cipher, and they came to observe it
47
I follow suit, and face it, embrace it
48
Shining bright, but still I'm careful not to waste it
49
Destined to rise, because I'm basement adjacent
50
Spirit is still so just chill and be patient
51
Some heads approach like I'm the one to base with
52
Clowns about, screaming but don't say shit
53
I ain't your student so I ain't to be tested
54
I'm majestic, I represent my strength without "Epitmass"
55
Method is unorthodox, but of course it rocks
56
My serious synopsis will drop kick, my topics
57
Run the gauntlets and galvanize the audience
58
I must represent, I don't come off with no corniness
59
I'm all luminary, despite commentary
60
Some people say, Mos how you get so?
61
My sign will make you jump around like calypso
62
And murmur to yourself like a schizo
63
There ain't no bottom on the ?
64
[Chorus: x4]
65
[Talib Kweli]
66
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
67
Here we go, Blackstar, hop on the
68
Blackstar line, we bout to take y'all home.
69
Ya know what I mean? Here we go
70
We got all markets on lock
71
From meat to stock
72
Blackstar, what? throwing like head rock in bars
73
Men flock to where we are, cause its the place to be
74
Grab my paint, jump on stage and deface emcees
75
We sell our souls like Spawn and come for the drone I sit upon
76
Freestyle or written songs so we can get it on!
77
Going back and forth, falling back, all across the track
78
Passing the mic's like quarterbacks
79
Of course its phat, get off of that!
80
Reverse psychology got em scared to say when shit is whack
81
Got fear of being called a hater, imagine that! We ain't having that
82
We just passed the star status that your grabbing at
83
My battle raps blast your ass back to your natural habitat
84
So floss, cause what it costs ain't worth it to me
85
Cause I'm the one these Spice Girl emcees want to Be
86
But they can't, ain't no points forever, so why bother?
87
Cause your girl calls my name out like Clearance Carter, Clearance
88
Carter, Clarence Carter! (I be stroking, that's what I be doing)
89
Hey yo, as we rock harder
90
And always drop the bonified head nodders
91
Hey yo, later for the hater-players
92
Yo-yo, yo-yo, later for these hater-players
93
[Chorus: x4]
94
Blackstar keeps shining
95
[Chorus: x4]
96
Blackstar keeps shining
