Lyrics:
with anticipation
I saw a dark silhouette at the table
I tried to talk, but I was unable
She drew me in right under her spell
I was hypnotized by
Joseph's face was black as night
The pale yellow moon shone in his eyes
His path was marked
By the stars in the Southern Hemisphere
And he walked his
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til
the night glow, my hat's low, my roots grow
For you to soon know, I reap what you sow
We just land down from Liberia, young Black man
In control
the night glow, my hat's low, my roots grow
For you to soon know, I reap what you sow
We just land down from Liberia, young Black man
In control
There he was that little man, sitting by the altar... black devil
Carved in stone so dark and could... black devil
Help me, help me, cause i don't
And then the world gonna know what this all about.
[Chorus]
But you know I'm here.
Everybody knows I'm here.
Well, I'm the hoochie coochie man
Pulls this man around by her apron strings
If it wasn't for powder and for store-bought hair
That gal I love wouldn't have gone nowhere, nowhere!
I
Ah, she took off on a train this mornin'
And she was meetin' some other man, yes
She used to treat me real good
And I wonder why I didn't treat
the type to pray then go collect that blessing)
You the truth this it
(Do your Job!)
Black man by the corner store (Gimme sloppy top)
In the East side nigga
black magic
It's black magic
Do you believe in black magic?
It's black magic
I believe in
We call this song "Black Magic" 'cause
Blind man wavin' by the side of the road
I'm in a flat bed Ford carrying a heavy load
With a sweet thing sippin' on a blueberry wine
On a flat
Ah, she took off on a train this mornin'
And she was meetin' some other man, yes
She used to treat me real good
And I wonder why I didn't treat
[Phone ringing]
[Fifty]
Aww man...who the fuck is callin'?..
I don't even wanna answer this shit...Hello?
[Man on phone]
Whattup nigga it's
brown, stick around"
"But as you black, oh brother, get back get back get back"
Me and a man was workin' side by side
This is what it meant
They was
noise)
Yeah! (Where you get that thang, man?) (By my side)
When you do somethin' to somebody, um (By my side)
It ain't just you, it's somebody next
you. You got to walk it by yourself.
If ever I could have thought this man in black was soft and had any yellow up his back, I gave that notion up
There's no path to follow
There's no path to follow
There's a line in the sand
Put there by a man
By a man whose children
Will built castles
rack full of biscuits
Make my coffee black if you please
If you feed me out of Dixie in a style so grand
You'll have yourself a happy man
Sorghum
(My man?)
(You know I'm your man)
(What?)
(Uh)
(Yeah)
(What, what?)
Yo, where the brother by my side at?
Yo, you really need to stop that
Black by Blessed boy
Vibing with the Blessed boy
How they hate me being black
Black black black black
How they hate me being black
Black black
This is life for a young black man
With his future and his burner in his hand
While you're on your grind, keep this mind
We say
Heaven help the man who
on the floor
But baby I gotta get through
Crumb by crumb in this big black forest
Maybe in you I'll believe
Maybe I'll believe in you
Suddenly I'm not
my book that comes first
Controls the soul and the universe
It's the Nature
Black man, Black heart, Black soul
I was born to roll
Roll, like water in
