Black Star - Fix Up lyrics

Brilliance nice, nice levels
Thank you Mr 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
Said you was charged an' all
I’m surprised at y'all
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 so clear, true, 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 any
Time we been away
Travelling man I carry home with me every day
Bey, slim body push heavy weight
Fix up look sharp, elevate
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 in your mouth, spit it out, 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 motherfuckers
The speakers ain't nearly loud enough
Black Star rocking it
Chaka would be proud of us you had enough
Callous as shallow and narrow-mindedness
Preparing for the battle
The shadows is where you finding us
You tryna bust – you dead
You synthetic as a designer drug
The populace is ignorant
Thank you for reminding us
Separate myself from these rappers
Who hustle backwards
Yup, they got zero property
Like the laws of algebra 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 look dark
Shine a light, look ahead, look up

Malcolm X and Marley Marl, the word of God
The works of art portrait's 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 they choppers off
Kweli and Mr bey, Fresh not from concentrate
Looking very sharp today, Thank you brother
Danke Schoen
Craft working more than German engineering
And all the frequency that
Don't adhere to interference
Flashes of the spirit
Seekers of the clearing
They say that the tongue is the mirror
Of the heart so mirror mirror
Look, in that window is
A 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 sides, Palaces and tenements
Dispossessed native tongue noble open
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 a light, look ahead, look up
Fix up, look sharp black Star, good God
And when the sky look dark
Shine a light, look ahead, look up
