Onyx
Onyx is a banded variety of the oxide mineral chalcedony. Agate and onyx are both varieties of layered chalcedony that differ only in the form of the bands: agate has curved bands and onyx has parallel bands. The colors of its bands range from white to almost every color (save some shades, such as purple or blue). Commonly, specimens of onyx contain bands of black and/or white.
Etymology
Onyx comes through Latin (of the same spelling), from the Greek ὄνυξ, meaning "claw" or "fingernail". With its fleshtone color, onyx can be said to resemble a fingernail. The English word "nail" is cognate with the Greek word.
Varieties
Onyx is formed of bands of chalcedony in alternating colors. It is cryptocrystalline, consisting of fine intergrowths of the silica minerals quartz and moganite. Its bands are parallel to one another, as opposed to the more chaotic banding that often occurs in agates.
Sardonyx is a variant in which the colored bands are sard (shades of red) rather than black. Black onyx is perhaps the most famous variety, but is not as common as onyx with colored bands. Artificial treatments have been used since ancient times to produce both the black color in "black onyx" and the reds and yellows in sardonyx. Most "black onyx" on the market is artificially colored.

Fuck peace I want justice
I'ma nigga with a gun and the right mind to bust this
Fuck this, I'm mad at the world and hell, I got a vengeance
My first offense, I caught the life or death, sentence
The real black homies in jail, pull out protection
It's killin' me, callin' these facilities, correction
System that is scared of us, come on my fellow prisoners
Time to go to war, we'll be dead at least they listen to us
Time to get the Tec, and go step, to the President
U.S.G., citizen, fuck American, resident
And nnyyaaa, I gotta seek your betterment
Isaac, slayed, for all my niggaz who got hanged
"So throw ya gunz in the"
They said "Throw Ya Gunz" was negative, I say fuck them
They the ones who put the guns in the ghetto for destruction
This is depression, deception, killin' our own complexion
What we need to do is point the guns in the right direction
Two wrongs don't make it right but it damn sure make us even

Yo it's only gettin' worse, I'ma person controvers'
And tell you where I'm from, is the savage redman curse
I'm the illest, the biggest, experiment
What are we getting pigs in a cage in the projects
'Cause we the ones that's been in it
They gave us guns and drugs, and watch us bug and rub
Each other out, stop doin' what they love
Now retaliate, it's time to get big, and bombard
And flip this shit, like fruit of the Gods
They say we got the animal mentality
Show 'em the raw reality if you real you ain't mad at me
But if you is, so the fuck what?
Me and my peeps, came to claim, the brown man's cut
Which was really ours, this the hour
Better do what I do, fuck those nuclear powers
They're beat, we gotta form our own crop
Dominate, infiltrate and feel great 'til it burns down
And when it burns, it's goin' up in blazes
We at it go, where it shoulda fuckin' been
Since the dark ages

I have a dream, that I must reveal
So I pinch myself to make sure it's real
First we gotta destroy and then rebuild
Even if it mean that I'ma get myself killed
Don't make me no difference, I done wrote my will
And talk about, what they did to us is dumb
What we need to be talkin' 'bout, is what we gonna do to them
I can be dangerous, the last thing I do
When I start speaking in tongues the Holy Ghost couldn't save you
So do you want answers?
Yeah I want answers, I want the truth
You want the truth? You couldn't handle the truth
'Cause they got our brains washed, so we the minority
But when we kill them off we're gonna be the majority
Preach on
See I was raised to fight for what I believe in
I won't forget, can't forget, I'm tryin' to get even
And if nobody speak up, then I'll lead my people
'Cause two wrongs don't make it right, but it damn sure make us equal
I'm incitin' riots, so let's start the lootin'
And whoever enforce the laws I guess we'll just got to shoot them
'Cause in this revolution I loathe my enemy
I'm agnostic plus I got no identity
So lovers of life don't keep your hopes up high
Why?
'Cause it's just a matter of time before it's your turn to die
But until then, when you stop breathin'
It's time to stand up and fight for what you believe in
Two wrongs don't make it right but it damn sure make us even
Two wrongs don't make it right but it damn sure make us even
Two wrongs don't make it right but it damn sure make us even
Two wrongs don't make it right but it damn sure make us even
