The black baza (Aviceda leuphotes) is a small sized bird of prey found in the forests of South Asia and Southeast Asia. Many populations are migratory. The races in the Indian region are migratory, wintering in the south of the Peninsula and Sri Lanka. The black bazas have short, stout legs and feet with strong talons. A prominent crest is a feature of the bazas. They are found in dense forest often in small groups. They are also known to spend a lot of time perching on bare branches of tall trees rising above the forest canopy.
The black baza is a small and distinctively coloured raptor; it ranges from 30 to 35 cm in length, a 66 to 80 cm wingspan and a weight of 168 to 224 g. When perched, the upright crest and contrasting patterns make it difficult to misidentify. The male has white scapulars, secondary coverts and on the secondaries. The female has white only on the scapulars and more chestnut bands on the underside unlike the few bands in the male.
In flight it is crow like and is often seen in small groups or flocks during migration. During migration, they are gregarious at their roost. They are somewhat crepuscular and more active at dusk and in overcast weather.
From the crack of the whip I attack
Front to back in this thing called rap
Diggi dig it like shovel rhyme Devil on a heavenly level
Bang the bass turn up the treble
Radical mind day and night all the time
Seven, fourteen, wise, divine
Maniac, brainiac, winning the game
I'm the miracle Jesse James
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
Yea, yea, yea, yea
Quality, I possess some say I'm fresh
When my voice goes through the mesh of the
Microphone that I am holding
Copy written lyrics so they can't be stolen
If they are H-Blockx don't need the police
So try to save them your voice will sink
So please stay off my back
Or I will attack and you don't want that
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
Yea, yea, yea, yea
[incomprehensible]
Like a demon I'm steaming, like a crook I'm fiending
Tell the opposition color whip creaming
Shredding skim with the lyrics rhyme breaking the bone
Through your soul with the tone of my microphone
In this game of life I will try to survive
And take your time you bring us all nose jive
Superman's strong, even in my last hour
H-Blockx in the house T-Love we got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
Sing along
I've got the power
I've got the power
Stand up, scream
I've got the power
I've got the power
