    Through their music, Black Star taught me as a teenager that it was ok to be myself, when I didn't fit into the norm. Years later, that was one of the greatest lessons that I have ever learned and its made me who I am today. And for that, I am forever grateful to them.

    Shout out to Denver! Lol. Track is hot and these brothers are at the top of my list. But I still want something more from them! More soulful beats and organic flow. It’s sort of feels like they just stuck to a 4/4 rhyming pattern and a beat that repeats over and over. Bring the real instrumentation back to hip hop! Lol. One love. Haven’t subscribed to hear album but maybe I will soon. I know they’re efforts are to keep control of music and profits so I support that!

    This is real rap. Huge applause, and took me back to the 1990s in the best way possible (when I used to love rap and hip hop). Bravo!

    [Intro: Yasiin Bey]
    Haha
    Bey
    Bey
    Bey
    Yasiin, Yasiin, Yasiin
    [Verse 1: Yasiin Bey]
    Sharper than a straight razor shave
    Cooler than a steel, I put the blade to a point
    It's worldwide currency, they wishing well coins
    It's high fidelity, bang, they speaker leak noise
    And at a Chuck D level, y'all at petite level
    How a gun do a chopper spread? Love beat devils
    Walk soft and carry the cro magnum
    Shots club and smash 'em, they show up any fragment
    Breathe fire, spit smoke, blow away ashes
    Smarten up, dumbass, this ain't bump class
    Atmosphere above that, you can't touch that
    Rеal, forever real, thеy can hate it or love that
    It's bigger than hip-hop, hypes, and wicked government
    Brooklyn award-winning, a not-give-a-f*ckingest
    You in it for the most sucker-ish, dummiest
    No getting love in this, some real riders up in this beyotch
    Who's more bitch than bitch Reebox
    They arms can't beyotch the base of a three-ox
    These dudes dope dealing's detox
    Turkey went clean up your act if you act like crack, ha
    Hop in Aladdin, I will never be that
    I got the right and exact and a trap for the rats
    The liars and the saps, the posers and the hacks
    Laying my mainline, your spine goes snap, Bey
    Vanglorious, phantasmagoria
    Crack-panned all y'all, each and every all of you
    Whoever you can call, then you better start calling 'em
    Then call the coroner, white drapes for all of you's
    Greatest ain't greater than, strongest ain't strong enough
    Biggest ain't bigger than a real small portion of
    The legendary trilotary top rank officer
    Get lost, big boss, this boss the boss of you
    Chip on your shoulder, I'ma knock it right off you
    Bey, torpedo, blast match the ego
    Sniper on the range, sniper bang 'nuff, reload
    RPG to give free power people, brrap
    One clip in they evil, done with
    Talking like they want trouble and really want ****
    They probably want trick like a skier on the strip
    Get money and your Mrs. never (Hey) kill a pimp
    Lie out my rhetoricals and they ain't said *
    You can talk 'til you die and you ain't said this
    Unless you repeating the phrase of y'all beesiest
    Seventeen verse of the twenty-fifth Ezekiel
    Leakiel, let us pray 'fore they soldier these suckers
    [Verse 2: Talib Kweli]
    Aight, I'm back motherfucker
    Yeah, January, February, marching with the people
    'April, may I have a Black Star sequel?' said the black caucus
    June, July, the black August
    September to October you find you a Black Thought is
    November when we come for that office
    The black POTUS
    The black lotus flower fall in December, go ask the weatherman
    Colder than the winter wind, day after December 10
    We celebrating Yasiin birthday
    Brooklyn, New York City, that's the scene of my birthplace
    I'm so on top of this bop with the metropolitan frolic with the populous topplin' all the charlatans
    My songs is knowledge to heroes that need honoring
    A promise we demolishing all Confederate monuments
    I'm noticing how these Nazis become Congressmen
    It's softer than some Moccasins and way faker than collagen
    It doesn't matter if these scholars have got doctorates
    They're hiding behind fake names like Tommy Robinson, I'm bombing 'em
    Plus the sleeve is monogram if I die and come back and perform as a hologram
    Can't tell if it's a boy or a girl, get a sonogram
    My name is floating up and down the ave like dollar vans
    Fam, my syrup is maple leaf
    Eatin' falafel in Morocco and packin' straight hasheesh
    Pipe is a pass and I'm stabbing these fake emcees
    It's sharp and making 'em bleed, got half of them make believe
    I come from a place of peace but they only respect the violence
    You get arrested for domestic silence
    Rappers is vampires, we the Lycans
    Even the Vikings know magic and some tarots from the conquered Alliance
    Bring it together like a hyphen, just liars testing my patience
    Never stop because my parents ain't never had a vacation
    Relocating, looking at places along the ocean
    Smoking trees and the trees as shady as rapper motives, calamities
    Flash catastrophe, add an apostrophe, your whole philosophy is mediocrity
    Atrocities committed in the name of owning property, monopolies
    That's my hypotheses
