"Blackstar" lyrics
The Drums & Genesis Owusu Lyrics
(We ain't got time just to waste time)
(We ain't got time just to waste time)
(We ain't got time just to waste time)
(We ain't got time just to waste time)
(We ain't got time just to waste time)
(We ain't got)
I will not squabble with the many men
Bad dog, bad dog, where the vet again?
Down bad, life says I'm in debt again
Check, check, check, and I bet again
Life on the edge of the knife, I'm a veteran
White trash chap or the Donny in a dress
All my brothers, they, thems, and the rest
Slash my chest, I'm already seeing red
Divide and conquer, never not again
Niggas gotta know why
I don't understand what you go by
Dropping moves, you're a dancer
You're a sweet boy acting like a bastard
Man, leave the smoke for the Rastas
And these devils in suits dropping bombs
But you think you're the gangsta?
Those firearms can't box with God, nor a devil
(We ain't got time just to waste time)
(We ain't got time just to waste time)
(We ain't got time just to waste time)
(We ain't got time just to waste time)
(We ain't got time just to waste time)
(We ain't got)
You are now fucking with a Blackstar
Not a gangsta
From the womb of the tree named Ansah
Straight defying what you think
Wasn't in the trap, I had dishes in the sink
Red Cross boy, only time I'm seeing mink, uh
Bruddas scream loud, Igbo to the Dinka
Put my hand to your face like The Thinker
'Cause these industry heathens tryna pimp out Socrates
Think I turn tail for a little bit of cheese?
You don't really know my blood, man, please
Twist they face, now they call me a beast
But I can see you with my beast eye
Never been so clear, never denied
Look the truth in the face and she been fine
Soon the world is ours, man, it's been time
In the meantime
Beast eye, whoa
Blackstar, whoa
Beast eye, whoa
Blackstar, whoa
Beast eye, whoa
Blackstar, whoa
Beast eye, beast eye, beast eye, beast eye
Beast eye, whoa
Blackstar, whoa
Beast eye, whoa
Blackstar, whoa
Beast eye, whoa
Blackstar, whoa
Beast eye, beast eye, beast eye, beast eye
(We ain't got time just to waste time)
(We ain't got time just to waste time)
(We ain't got time just to waste time)
(We ain't got time just to waste time)
(We ain't got)
I will not squabble with the many men
Bad dog, bad dog, where the vet again?
Down bad, life says I'm in debt again
Check, check, check, and I bet again
Life on the edge of the knife, I'm a veteran
White trash chap or the Donny in a dress
All my brothers, they, thems, and the rest
Slash my chest, I'm already seeing red
Divide and conquer, never not again
Niggas gotta know why
I don't understand what you go by
Dropping moves, you're a dancer
You're a sweet boy acting like a bastard
Man, leave the smoke for the Rastas
And these devils in suits dropping bombs
But you think you're the gangsta?
Those firearms can't box with God, nor a devil
(We ain't got time just to waste time)
(We ain't got time just to waste time)
(We ain't got time just to waste time)
(We ain't got time just to waste time)
(We ain't got time just to waste time)
