Lyrics

Verse 1:
If u don't know His name that's because he got many,
he only wants a lil from u in exchange for plenty,
Woe to all the cheap ones hoarding every penny,
the more your pockets be dry your heart and soul get replenished.
Bow down then get up God is greater feel His presence,
though my body is His temple I spend my Fridays at the Masjid.

Everybody want heaven don't nobody wan hell
everybody wanna make it still nobody wan fail.
But the angels on my side recording every detail,
so when the judgement day come that means somebody gone tell.

Secrets get revealed strive through struggle and pain,
Allah's here closer to you than your jugular vein.

Who u goin call when you asking for help?
The condition you in don change unless you do it yourself.
Alhamdulilah Allah he rabil alameen.
That's lord of all worlds and master of all things.

Hook:
The ink of a scholar or the blood of a martyr which one is more holy in the eyes of Allah?
Look to the east bow my head to the Kaaba,
I start it how we finish brutha bismiallah..
For those who are now home may Allahs peace be upon them,
we pray their deeds were pleasing in the sight of Allah.
Look to the west and see the ummah get larger,
We start it how we finish in the name of Allah.

Verse 2:
Cuz everybody wanna talk about the prophet Mohammed,
but I ain't saying nothing unless I'm saying peace be upon him.
I was born in lost Angels but its feeling like Sodom,
by the grace of Allah we made it to the top from the bottom.

In every mosque that I've prayed in,
Zakat that I've paid,
its just a small thing by big things happen in God's name.

Read the Quran fatiha to yacine,
stay protected by His hand and His angels in all green.

It go from Adam to Eve to the world that we live in,
If its only one God than its only one religion,
so if Jesus was a Muslim that mean I am a Christian,
I even follow prophet Moses in the Jewish tradition,
I'm a MC on a mission, all in submission,
From the top of every minaret my call is efficient,
all that glitter ain't gold this is noor we're emitting,
when they hand you the world tell'em Allah is sufficient.

we pray their deeds were pleasing in the sight of Allah.

We start it how we finish in the name of Allah.

Verse 3:
Cuz ain't nothing better,
than when the brothers get together
and the sisters here wit us and we strong like 5 pillars.

Sharing different stories,
full of wisdom full of glory,
sipping tea then all get up for Salat In the early morning.
All praises I master ceremony,
the masses in the streets different factions out here warring.

Allah is only one and his prophets dun gave the message,
they the suns and we the moons and we shining back their reflection.
I hope Allah is pleased and he's smiling like the crescent,
this ain't for the love of money this is for the love of blessings.

So u can keep the fame and the joys of the world,
I'm a just speak His name to the boys and the girls.
I know its hard to stay poised in a world,
so much noise can't stay calm such a boisterous world.
The only thing that's missing is your voice in the world,

so speak into existence
all your dreams and all your wishes.
