Ras, what you want, rasta?
De black dust, man
Aight, you got de money?
I got de cash money, man
Black dust
The Twenty-sixth day of December
That’s a day and time I’ll always remember
See, a close friend died on that day
Shot to death by the man, died in the subway
They said he never had a chance to run
So I tried to figure out why they pulled the gun
Now some say it was just his time
(Check it out) but something else came to mind
In his mind, the pressure had grown
Stress crushеd him like a giant stone
And evеry time he reached out for a hand
Nobody cared, nobody gave a damn
So he turned to drugs, trying to ease the pain
But the pressure was driving him insane
Black dust, don’t think it’s the ultimate high
Black dust, it makes you kiss your life goodbye
Black dust, they say it’s worth its weight in gold
Black dust, it makes you lose all self control
The price you pay just for that high
Might be your life and that’s no lie
Now there’s another brother close to my heart
See, I’d like to {?} right from the start
He ws a third child (Tell it!) out of five
Now there’s only four and I’ll tell you why
See, he stole a car on a hot summer night
He never lived to see the morning light
{?} and you say you understand
Sally, a girl who I know well
She tells you in a minute that her body’s for sale
A twenty-dollar bill, a bag of dust
{?}to a intimate night of lust
But one night Sally got a little too high
She got real kinky and she killed some guy
Black dust, don’t think it’s the ultimate high
Black dust, it makes you kiss your life goodbye
Black dust, they say it’s worth its weight in gold
Black dust, it makes you lose all self control
The price you pay just for that high
Might be your life and that’s no lie
There’s a man who’s living out on the street
Has no money, no clothes, no shoes for his feet
He used to be a wealthy businessman
Now he’s living his life the best way he can
He had a {?}, a jet, and even a yacht
He also had seven cars parked in his lot
But now he’s suffered from a great downfall
Spending all his money on drugs and alcohol
He let black dust control his life
He lost his business, son, daughter and his wife
Nobody gave a helping hand
They told him to take it and do the best he can
So he went to {?} crack every day
But it was too late, black dust took him away
Allah almighty, please tell me why
Every time I turn around, somebody dies
Some people tell me it’s society
That traps teenagers to PCP
Some babies are dead before they’re born
Because of the drug they mother was on
Black dust, don’t think it’s the ultimate high
Black dust, it makes you kiss your life goodbye
Black dust, they say it’s worth its weight in gold
Black dust, it makes you lose all self control
The price you pay just for that high
Might be your life and that’s no lie
