This week’s lyrical Analysis is brought to you by the talented Mos Def with the song entitled “Sun, Moon, Stars” which can be found on his “True Magic” album. In my opinion, Mos Def is truly deep and is, by far, an underrated artist. In a nutshell, I feel this song has absolutely nothing to do with the title, and after enjoying in a deep discussion with my peers on this particular track, I felt the need to reach out to you, our readers, to seek your knowledge of what Mos Def may be referring to. Check out his lyrics below:

“A night where beautiful life is real
The mathematic to acting still
The unfamiliar the warm embrace
The family ties and the stranger’s face
The lighting thunder the power steed
The what it is and the what is believed
The strong connections desire to need
The waking now or the moment to dream
The laugh the murmur the moan and the scream
The voice of reason somewhere in between
The one and all the me and the we
The I and I the thou and the thee
A man a design a child of the streets
The daily chore the impossible feat
The drum the chorus phenomenal beat
Easy to touch and the harder to reach
The sweetest fruit in the top of the tree
The sun the moon the stars and the bree-eze

I’m coming to it, and it’s coming to me
I’m getting ready”
