Lyrics

Verse 1
Blacka than a panther, Blacka than Atlanta
Open like the starry dark background of Saturn
Mighty like the builders of pyramids in Africa
Stronger than an Afro, larger than Alabama
Deeper than your soul, Blacka than a black Santa
Wild as Larry David is when he could give a damn or a fuck
Motion like a slave ship, slicker than a
Pimpin' hoe gettin' dough slicker than a mac or
Super fly, flyer than a super fly anthem
Funky like good times soul train or what's happenin'
Darker than a random check of passengers travelling first class
Blacker than a president, well half of him
Rise like the death rate, hustle the trappers and
Slingin' like the crack, move weight like drug traffickin'
Vicious like the red and blue who don't see the aftermath
All that's left on the flag is white after the sabotage
Blaca than midnight in Kuwait and Afghanistan
Calmer than Caucasians in the booth gettin tanner than Aborigines
Black like original man expand, through the circle drifting in the sky where God planted men
In his own image holdin' up the Ten Commandments
African like Christ, the bible said he had skin the color of bronze hair of wool
Blacka than a then fore father named Abraham who expanded men
Dope like PE, BDB, Poor Righteous Teachers, X Clan, and Brand Nubian combined in one rapper then fed pig's feet, ham ribs not one but a slab of them
To die inside the ghetto only to arise and rap again
Verse 2
Blacka than Marcus Garvey and Black Nationalism
Rippin the drum beats, rippin the funk, rippin the rhythm
Bringing the Jazz, R&B, Blues harder than prison
Yard populations with no rehabilitation is given
I am the seat on the bus that Rosa Parks was sittin in
I am Timbuktu they want to keep me hidden
Black as a mother of civilization of black women
First should be last so black is a beginning and ending
Black as an African emblem, Blacker than blacker than blacker than blacker than Infinite blacks in a grass roots rally assembling, unifying together trying to make a little difference
A difference
Blacka than the blackest of fist, displayed in array on the back of your pics
Everyday come parlay and kick back as I rip, put your hands in the mist this is Blackalicious
