Lyrics
[Intro]
We feel that we have a responsibility to shine the light into the darkness
You know, there's a lot of darkness out here, we watch it all the time
I'm busy lookin' at the darkness sayin', "Damn, there's some darkness over there"
Whatever, and we have a responsibility to focus on it
You know, y'all be cool
We know that we know how to make some music, and the music ain't supposed to stand still
[Verse 1]
It's like that, Mos Def and Kweli
Black Star, guide me Black Star, Black Star
It's like that, Mos Def and Kweli
Black Star
We, we, we know where the real life documentarians are
Who? Of course, the mighty Mos Def is a real life documentarian
Talib Kweli, real life documentarian
[Outro]
Anyhow, the statements that they make will determine what everybody else plays very shortly
Ya dig? And that's the way it goes, so here we go!
Written by: Mos Def, Talib Kweli
