Black Star was a rap group consisting of Mos Def and Talib Kweli with K.O.S. being released in 1998 and was the duo’s only album under the shared name. Do yourself a favor and go give this entire album a listen then do what I did and go down the rabbit hole that is the career of Mos Def. One look at that guy’s career is a great way to inspire yourself to get off your ass and go get it.

At exactly which point do you start to realize
That (life without knowledge is death in disguise?)
That’s why, knowledge of self is like life after death
Apply it, to your life, let destiny manifest
