Black Star Line

Follow me, upon a Black Star Line

Off for the rest and for Brand Nubian

Now go to Africa again, watch dis!

Black Star Line, it's the Black Star Line

Everybody come aboard, and free your mind

Black Star Line, it's the Black Star Line

Everybody come aboard, and free your mind

Black Star Line, it's the Black Star Line

Everybody come aboard, and free your mind

Black Star Line, it's the Black Star Line

Everybody come aboard, and free your mind

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

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

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

Love vibes rule so your black face is cool

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

Form a line-ah, upon the Black Star Liner

Goin' to Africa, one more time

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 have 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

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

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

Black Star Line, it's the Black Star Line

Everybody come aboard, and free your mind

Black Star Line, it's the Black Star Line

Everybody come aboard, and free your mind

Black Star Line, it's the Black Star Line

Everybody come aboard, and free your mind

Black Star Line, it's the Black Star Line

Everybody come aboard, and free your mind

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

Push up ya arm they call ya proud to be black

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

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

Push up ya arm they call ya proud to be black
