paroles de chanson K.O.S. (Determination) - Black Star
(Talib
Kweli)
So
many
emcees
focusin
on
black
people
extermination
We
keep
it
balanced
with
that
knowledge
of
self,
determination
It's
hot,
we
be
blowin
the
spots,
with
conversations
C'mon
let's
smooth
it
out
like
Soul
Sensation
We
in
the
house
like
Japanese
in
Japan,
or
Koreans
in
Korea
Head
to
Philly
and
free
Mumia
with
the
Kujichagulia
TRUE
Singin
is
swingin
and
writin
is
fightin,
but
what
They
writin
got
us
clashin
like
titans
it's
not
excitin
No
question,
bein
a
black
man
is
demandin
The
fire's
in
my
eyes
and
the
flames
need
fannin
(3X)
With
that
what?
(Knowledge
Of
Self)
Determination
*Repeat
4X*
(Singer)
Things
I
say
and
do,
may
not
come
quite
through
My
words
may
not
convey
just
what
I'm
feelin
(Talib
Kweli)
Yes
yes
come
on,
yes
yes
Knowledge
Of
Self
is
like
life
after
death
With
that
you
never
worry
about
your
last
breath
Death
comes,
that's
how
I'm
livin,
it's
the
next
days
The
flesh
goes
underground,
the
book
of
life,
flip
the
page
Yo
they
askin
me
how
old,
we
livin
the
same
age
I
feel
the
rage
of
a
million
niggaz
locked
inside
a
cage
At
exactly
which
point
do
you
start
to
realize
That
life
without
knowledge
is,
death
in
disguise?
That's
why,
Knowledge
Of
Self
is
like
life
after
death
Apply
it,
to
your
life,
let
destiny
manifest
Different
day,
same
confusion,
we're
gonna
take
this
Hip-hop
shit
and
keep
it
movin,
shed
a
little
light
Now
y'all
bloomin
like
a
flower
with
the
power
of
the
evident
Voices
and
drums
original
instruments
In
the
flesh
presently
presentin
my
representation
With
that
what?
(Knowledge
Of
Self)
Determination
*Repeat
6X*

two

The
most
important
time
in
history
is,
NOW,
the
present
So
count
your
blessings
cause
time
can't
define
the
essence
But
you
stressin
over
time
and
you
follow
the
Roman
calendar
These
people
enter
Cona
like
Gattaca,
you
can
bet
They
tryin
to
lock
you
down
like
Attica,
the
African
diaspora
Represents
strength
in
numbers,
a
giant
can't
slumber
forever
I
know
you
gotta
get
that
cheddar
whatever
Aiyyo
I
heard
you
twice
the
first
time
money,
get
it
together
You
must
be
History,
you
repeatin
yourself
out
of
the
pages
You
keepin
yourself
depleatin
your
spiritual
wealth
That
quick
cash'll
get
your
ass
quick
fast
in
houses
of
detention
Inner-city
concentration
camps
where
no
one
pays
attention
Or
mentions
the
ascension
of
death,
til
nothing's
left
The
young,
gifted
and
Black
are
sprung
addicted
to
crack
All
my
people
where
y'all
at
cause,
y'all
ain't
here
And
your
hero's
using
your
mind
as
a
canvas
to
paint
fear
With,
broad
brush
strokes
and
tales
of
incarceration
You
get
out
of
jail
with
that
Knowledge
of
Self
determination
Stand
in
ovation,
cause
you
put
the
Hue
in
Human
Cause
and
effect,
effect
everything
you
do
And
that's
why
I
got
love
in
the
face
of
hate
Hands
steady
so
the
lines
in
the
mental
illustration
is
straight
The
thought
you
had
don't
even
contemplate
Infinite
like
figure
eight
there's
no
escape.
From
that
what?

Of
