Black Star is a message about spiritual freedom—freedom of thought, purpose, and identity. It reminds us that God created us with the ability to rise above fear, limitation, and false narratives. True freedom begins in the mind, is activated by truth, and is sustained through intentional growth.

This message challenges listeners to stop living as passengers in their own lives and to step fully into the calling God has placed within them. When we release fear, let go of distractions, and seek truth for ourselves, we discover that God has already given us wings to fly.

“Black Star”

[Intro]


Mark 8:32 “and Ye shall know the truth & the truth shall make you free…. If the Son makes you free you are free indeed.”

You, you, you, you can fly

You got wings in your mind

You, you, you could use em

If you try what is there to decide

[Verse 1]

Spread my wings no trees can touch this high

Mos Def a Black Star just Like Talib to get by

on your, talent alone you won’t get far, work your fingers to the bone

Don't be scared to lose an arm

You got two ears and one mouth listen before you talk

You in the front seat but don't be a passenger

You could go off road or stay in your lane

Don't be afraid to navigate your own designation

Don't need a runway to lift off in a spaceship

carrying all that you might miss your bus bag lady

Running around in circles but you ain't going nowhere

Wherever you don't want to go, I will go there

[Pre-Chorus]

Here you can hold this, I might not be back for it

Sometimes to get more, you must learn to let go

Fly with the stars like A-Bat or An owl

Let your conscious be free, relax your mind

[Chorus]

The Sky is calm The stars are bright

what’s better than to be in flight? I relax my mind and be at ease

And let this journey set me free

set me free

[Verse 2]

While you're climbing, some say you should not look down

To reach the climax, your feet must leave the ground

Cement is not concrete 'til you leave it still

If you don't use what you got there's always someone else who will

In your blood is iron, your body's made of carbon

Mix them both together, you got something hard as steel

You might feel like you're out of this world

You ain't got to be from Krypton to have a heart of steel

We may be earthlings, but we ain't scratched the surface

We can't even go deep without people feeling tremors

If you think God is Christian, or you fear Islam

Turn off the television and go find out for yourself

Fruits shrivel when you leave it on the shelf

Like a raisin in the sun or a dream deferred

Shoot for the moon if you miss be among the stars

It ain't calm long when you in the eye of the storm

[Chorus]

The Sky is calm The stars are bright

what’s better than to be in flight? I relax my mind and be at ease

And let this journey set me free

set me free, set me free

[Bridge]

Music set me free like nothing else do it

This life is a puzzle or a Cube Rubik

Most of us go through struggles, some don't get through it

It takes more than muscle, you must be brilliant

Be resilient, don't get caught up in your feelings

Why punch a clock and work for him when you can freelance

The journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step

If you create a profit, you can get worship

[Outro]

Is there a high-def signal going to your antenna

Play a fiddle or a viola, that's how to get away with murder

They want to keep us separate like oil and water, ammonia and Clorox

Watch what happens when you step back

Spread my wings, fly away, to a place that i long for

and my heart will lead, the pathway, (say) I’m searching for love that’s evermore

“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free… If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.” — John 8:32, 36

“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” — 2 Corinthians 3:17

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” — Romans 12:2

“Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.” — Proverbs 16:3

• Freedom begins with truth

• Identity is discovered, not assigned

• Growth requires risk and release

• Purpose demands intention

• Spiritual flight requires trust

As you listen, ask yourself: Am I walking in the freedom Christ has already given me—or am I still grounded by fear and limitation? When truth takes root in your heart and mind, you will rise. Spread your wings. You were created to fly.

Father God,

We thank You for Your Word and the truth revealed through this message.
