  • Verse 1
    Against 
    the 
    canvas 
    of the 
    night 

    Appears 
    a curious 
    celestial 

    phenomena 

    Called Black 
    Star, 
    but what is it? 

    Black people 
    unite and let's 
    all 
    get 
    down 

    Verse 2
    We got 

    to have 
    what? 
    We got 

    to have 
    that love 

    Verse 3
    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 

    Verse 4
    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 

    Verse 5
    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 
    cross 
    hairs 

    Blacker 
    than 
    my granddaddy 

    armchair 

    He never 
    really 
    got 
    no time 

    to chill 
    there 

    Cause this 
    life 
    is warfare, 
    warfare 

    Verse 6
    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 

    Verse 7
    Like 
    the student 
    love 
    the teacher 

    Like 
    the prophet 
    love 
    Khadeja 

    Like 
    I love my 
    baby 
    features 

    Like 
    the creator 
    love 
    all 
    creatures 

    Verse 8
    Who 
    acknowledge 
    truth 
    and peace 
    seekers 
    We 

    on point 
    like heat 
    seekers 

    Targeting 
    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 com
    plete 
    this, 

    keep 
    this 
    fly 

    There's so 
    much 
    to life 
    when you 

    just stay 
    Black 
    and God 

    Verse 9
    Blacker than 
    the nighttime 
    sky 

    of 
    BedStuy in July 

    Blacker 
    than 
    the seed 
    in 

    the blackberry 
    pie 

    Blacker 
    than 
    the middle 
    of 
    my 
    eye

    Some man 
    wan

    N- I, 

    V- 
    E- 
    R- 
    S- 
    A- L 
    Magnetic" 

    Work 
    to respect 
    the 
    an
    gelic, 

    climb 
    the mountaintop 

    And 
    tell 
    it 'til

    You're full 
    of big 
    chat 
    but 

    you nah 
    know 
    me 

    I'm dark 
    like 
    the side 
    of the moon 

    you

    When 
    the moon 
    shine

    Verse 11

    It's the

    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 civ

    by 
    you 

    Like 
    civil- (lies 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

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      "

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
