Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Party people in the place to be
My name is Talib Kweli
Yo, I got my man on the side of me
Mos Def-initely, and we are (Fresh)
Black Star (Fresh)
G Young (Fresh)
Hi-Tek (Fresh)
Native Tongue (Fresh)
Shawn J (Fresh)
Eighty-eight (Fresh)
Ninety-eight, we 'bout to motivate, come on y'all
[Verse 2]
Here's a little story that must be told
About two young brothers who was put on hold
They tried to stop the goal
We on a spiritual plane
Tried to kill the pride
And destroy the name
We just two bad brothers
Who will never quit
I'm Mos Def
Kweli
We the ultimate
Make sure that you tell
Everybody you know
To get on line
Take a ride
To the Black Star show!
[Verse 3]
Black Star, shinin' , shinin', we in the house
Shinin', shinin', we in the house y'all
Black Star, shinin' , shinin', we in the house
Shinin', shinin', we in the house y'all
Black Star, shinin' , shinin', we in the house
Shinin', shinin', we in the house y'all
Black Star, shinin' , shinin', we in the house
Shinin', shinin', we in the house y'all
