Brand Nubian - Black Star Line lyrics

Your rating:

[Red Foxx] ** best guess **

Follow me!  Upon a Black Star Line

Off for the rest and for Brand Nubian

Now go to Africa again, watch dis!



Chorus: repeat 4X



[SX] Black Star Line [LJ] It's the Black Star Line

[LJ] Everybody come aboard [SX] And free your mind



[Sadat X]

It's the Black Star Line that's leavin at nine

Here's a paid ticket so you can free your mind

Playgrounds is filled with visions of steel

Grab the black babies IT'S TIME TO BUILD



[Lord Jamar]

See we got a mental ship somethin like Noah's Ark

Spark your brain cell now let's set sail

(with no avail) we flowin on a positive trip

All Nubians is welcome, male and female



[Sadat X]

I, wouldn't resort, to askin for a passport

Love vibes rule so your black face is cool



[Lord Jamar]

Cool, but not frozen, a trip for the chosen few..



[Red Foxx] ** best guess **

Form a line-ah, upon the Black Star Liner

Goin to Africa, one more time (3X)

Form a line-ah, upon the Black Star Liner

Goin to Africa, one more time, TRUE!

Let me tell you bout Marcus Garvey

Born in Jamaica, God left him in country

He go to America to make black people free

He walk around low and just try make money

Him buy up some ship and just start for we

America or Africa and live irie

We hav some man where wan gonna be

Young nasty and just licky licky

Some love Marcus Garvey, the place of peace

Or peace around it, and dem sparkle up him say

I just light up, make the first hungry

Writer no block it but just run follow me

Form a line-ah, upon the Black Star Liner

Goin to Africa, one more time

Form a line-ah, upon the Black Star Liner

BRAND NUBIAN!!  Tell dem one more time



[Sadat X]

As we look to the stars, they take ours

Yeah we got fly cars but you can live in four wheels?

We need new approaches, old style is null and void

Makes me paranoid, to think

that we own the whole ocean yet we can't even drink



[Lord Jamar]

You couldn't swim the nine thousand so we got you a means

of transportation, for the Nubian nation

Marcus Garvey had the idea back in the days

Doin for self, keepin the wealth

I gotta add on and create

though the devil thinks it's not the latest fashion

Navigatin lost, somethin like a ship's captain



Chorus



[Red Foxx] ** best guess **

When I'm ova, arms will be raised for the tom-toms

Push up ya arm they call ya proud to be black (2X)

Call me proud to be black, cause I'm not tryin to fuck

When I'm proud to be black, I'm not some young eedyot (2X)

Be gone!  I want no dem I want no dem-dem dem-dem dem-dem

Never know they wickedness they haffa come to an end

Don't take a no fey word for de white boy dem

Awayaa TELL ME - all you get in de end

Awayaa TELL ME - all you get isa dem

Awayaa TELL ME - all you get more den dey spend

C'mon, tell de world black man entertainer

Rock dem one and rock entertained

Tell the Red Foxx style dem a get

When I'm ova, arms will be raised for the tom-toms

Push up ya arm they call ya proud to be black (2X)
