Star Gazin’

[Sample from the television program Cosmos: A Personal Voyage]
"The lives and deaths of the stars seem impossibly remote from human experience, and yet we're related in the most intimate way to their life cycles. The very matter that makes us up was generated long ago and far away in giant stars."

[Verse]
Mass incarceration of our constellations
Fallen stars and stripes inside this damn nation
The forty acres they promised is still the plantation
This is why Native Indians had they land taken
Politicians are kissing babies and handshaking
Smile in your face but they really Ku Klux Klan racists
Hip Hop is a new form of transformation
A new way to access heaven in this land of Satan
Tick tock, the hands and sands of time wasting
A whole generation is getting high and wasted (shit)
How do you measure a man’s greatness?
From the money he's making or the lives he's changing?
Heaven’s messages are getting lost in translation
Too busy status updating and selfie taking
Bright faces still dark from soul starvation
When I look inside myself, I'm really Star Gazin'

[Sample from the television program Cosmos: A Personal Voyage]
"... few millennia we have made the most astonishing and unexpected discoveries about the Cosmos and our place within it. Some part of our being knows this is where we came from. We long to return, and we can because the Cosmos is also within us. We're made of starstuff. We are a way for the Cosmos to know itself."
