nas - blackness (seeds of heaven) lyrics

[chorus]
blackness is the seed of heaven
it’s willed in my heart, conceived in my soul
to rebel a precedent
is h+ll a mirage created by the rival of god?
a part of me’s harmony, but my heart’s in the street
the whole world’s now scarred by the mark of the beast
before light is dark, and darkness is peace
blackness is the seed of heaven
the essential color to be in touch with, fall in love with

[verse 1]
dear people of the globe
i hope that you’re in good health by the time my voice hit you
i’m hopin’ all is well with you
my mission is to build with you, touch upon some real issues
senators, government officials sit at the conference and listen
have a coke, a mint, or [?] water
and say i’m reminiscent of george l. jackson
malcolm x’s last win when i’m rappin’
americans, africans, asians, russians and arab men
send your clergyman the journey with nastradamus through the projects
i promise an unforgettable experience
compare me with in [?] get in [?]
history was stolen, get in my zone
what makes the powers that be less gangster than al capone?
the rosetta stone was stolen like chicago was
think i’m a thug? let’s talk about some conquerors
napoleon, sun tzu, genghis khan, hitler, idi amin, i’m attila the hun
let’s bring it back to the cat that invented the gun
from the indians all the way to the pentagon
i’m sittin’ on capitol hill, i’m composin’ this rhyme
guaranteed to make all of y’all feel the beauty that was trapped under siege
believe in yourself, you’ll be free
take it from me
[chorus]
blackness is the seed of heaven
it’s willed in my heart, conceived in my soul
to rebel a precedent
is h+ll a mirage created by the rival of god?
a part of me’s harmony, but my heart’s in the street
the whole world’s now scarred by the mark of the beast
before light is dark, and darkness is peace
blackness is the seed of heaven
the essential color to be in touch with, fall in love with

[verse 2]
the rejection of what’s right can mean you’re in denial
it either breaks you or makes you become hostile
i swallowed many lies before tastin’ the truth
in the beginning there was darkness, beautiful you
how would life be without night? no tranquility
no way to get away and rest, no stability
i can’t see the sky without the moon and the stars
the sunlight blockin’ everything
[?]
people worship the madonna in the shrines of spain’s
i’m proud to share the same blood type in her veins
the holy mother, the loneliest color remains
can’t be tampering, diluted the chains
they tried to make you not want it, make you run from it
the wickedest men want the ebony
punish is so seductive and sensuous in my clutches
hot as fire when moses saw burnin’ bushes
so abused and misused and mistreated
makin’ n+ggas wanna get drunk and get weeded
n+ggas wild when she come out, pull out and party
catch a body, fornicate, some start beef
chain reaction ’cause it’s in the air
the lost tribe scattered everywhere, from the north to west hemisphere
scientists and archaeologists conceal the obvious
the dead livin’ in little children
over time it is obsession caressing every essence of it
magnetism, every organism wanna come to it
all questions ’bout resurrection and your connection with god
is answered with the beats of your heart
[chorus]
blackness is the seed of heaven
it’s willed in my heart, conceived in my soul
to rebel a precedent
is h+ll a mirage created by the rival of god?
a part of me’s harmony, but my heart’s in the street
the whole world’s now scarred by the mark of the beast
before light is dark, and darkness is peace
blackness is the seed of heaven
the essential color to be in touch with, to fall in love with
