[Small girl]
Black is black is something to laugh about black is something to
cry about
black is serious black is a feeling black is us the beautifull
people

[Older women]
That was when some of them bad niggas made beauty moving juju
changes the drum
music hum! Mojo vibrated and high jons screamed through the
bloods to no one
hears the blood sounds no more folk intercourses and all the
niggas listening
acted visionaries too dig my people they acted the ryhtms
pulling there minds
was one and move move move universe earth spirit firing the
soils to destroy
the evil un image cleanse the waste from the cold lands till the
cosmos was
whole again and the worlds had become nude

[Older man]
3:30 in the morning with not a sole in sight we sat four deep at
a traffic light
Talking about how dumb and brainwashed how dumb some of our
brothers and
sisters are while we wait for a green light to tell us when to
go.

Talib Kweli and Mos Def's wonderful creation of a cd. beautiful lyrics that wash the heart. simply beautiful.
the song is 'yo yeah' off the 'black star' cd. but this isnt a song but a poetry reading with attitude.
