Fix Up (Explicit) - Black Star
Lyrics by:T. Greene/D. Smith
Up up I want
Brilliance nice nice levels
Thank you Mister Jackson
Fix up look sharp yo
I resolve me and mine involved
A lot of cats talk live they ain't live at all
Sideline check hush when it's time to ball
Taking this charge and all it's time to show
You could have a thousand rhymes a thousand dimes
The house to shine coupes on the routes recline
Be on Greenwich mean beech street or mountain time
But weigh it up duke your pound ain't a ounce of mine
You're down for mine ashy and ground for mine
Yasiin a sunburst clip pronounce divine
Pull down the blinds shade them out or shine
Everything from Bangkok to Bucktown is mine
Say Black Star great things sprout the mind
Full moons and starry nights new life and true light
Desert flames and ancient names cinematic classic frames
Beautiful and fantastic things
Like peace equality Allah see everything
Don't call it a comeback I was home anyway
Ain't mister measure for all time we spend away
Travelling man I carry home with me every day
Bey slim body push heavy weight
Fix up look sharp elevate yeah
And I don't mean Copperfield or David Blaine
We on solid ground and far above the clouds
Black Star
The wait is over or is it overweight
The game is bloated there's no escape
They sub standard we substantial
We got the great names they got the love handles
We slimming down trim the fat
Sit it down with all that chitter chat
You talking this and that simmer down
Got my name and you my parallel son
The music so powerful use it to see the parallels
I could make it rain
But I make it plainer than Malcolm does
Black Star baby powder fresher than the talcum yup
People charged up yup we good with or without the plug
You doubted us but you're still hating wow I'm proud of ya
Committed to your 'cause and it's caused you to be a sourpuss
Ain't a number that could measure your level of cowardice
You Power Puff you pale in comparison don't get out enough
Turn up the motherf**kers the speakers ain't nearly loud enough
Black Star rocking it Chaka would be proud of us
Had enough callow for shallow and narrow mindedness
Preparing for the battle the shadows is where you finding us
You trying to bust you synthetic as a designer **
The populace is ignorant thank you for reminding us
Separate myself from the rappers who hustle backwards they got
Zero property laws of algebra
Hey fix up look sharp
Black Star good God
And when the sky look dark
Shine a light look ahead look up
Fix up look sharp
Black Star good God
And when the sky get dark
Shine a light look ahead look up
Malcolm X and Marley Marl the word of God the work's involved
Portraits of the brain and other unexplained phenomenon
Shut down Babylon smash all automaton
Feel the beat got 'em feeling geeked like it's Comic Con
Far from the hardy har more like a Tomahawk rocket launch
Ali right 'cross knock these rappers off
Kweli and Mister Bey fresh not from concentrate
Looking very sharp today thank you brother Danke Schoen
Crowd working more than German engineering
And through the frequency they thought they hear the interference
Flashes of the spirit
Seekers in the clearing
They say the tounge is the mirror
Of the heart's inner mirror
Look in that window it's the freedom fighter's grandson
Fixed up looking sharp automatic handgun
Look parade caravan diplomat degenerate
Messiah pariah the leader of the syndicate
Peace treaty written in loophole penmanship
Same rows two shots palaces and tenements
Dispossesed made a noble owner of the lonely heart
Peel apart come together come together peel apart
Come together
Fix up look sharp
Black Star good God
And when the sky look dark
Shine light look ahead look up up
Fix up look sharp
Black Star good God
And when the sky get dark
Shine light look ahead look up look up
Ei dii look
Hei hii
Hi hi yeah
Aaa
