"Muhammad Walks"
[Clip from Farenheit 911]
Awootho billahee min shaytaan nirrajeeme bismillah hir Rahman neer raheem
(Athaan)
This is one's for all my brothers and sisters who died in Iraq, Israel, Afghanistan and right here in America
(Jesus Walks)
Abraham Talked
Muhammad Talked
And Moses split the sea
(Jesus Walk with me)
I ain't tryin to profit of the prophets so this one's for free
G's up along with Muhammad and Jesus
In the Quran they call him Isa
Don't think Osama and sadaam are is our leada
We pray for peace, but the drama intrigues us
All, so we fall for the illusions of the beast
So instead of tryin to teach we show our teeth
LyricsSaying God, different beliefs
Hijabs, Sunday clothes, yamika, kufi, same mission beneath
We all tryin to get to where the sufferin ends
In front of the Most High bein judged for our sins
Can front for the Most High, so the struggle
Continues
You, every bird, bird and tree, me, her and me
We virtually on the same boat
With the same goats, on the same sea
Tryin to stay afloat, and put the devil in the yolk
With a couple of God's quotes
[CHORUS]
ATHAN
(astaghfriullah)
And to the sisters and the mothers of ours
Who cover theyselves cause they're lovers of God
The Creator of the worlds, Sculptor of the stars,
During Hajj we walk, through Ramadaan we starve
Though you not eatin, there's a feedin of the mind
A defeatin of the demons, a seein' of the signs
A leanin on the lines from the surahs
Getting purer, God deemed it unclean
(There's no eatin of the swine)
Nor drinkin' of the wine
We all been to the wind, so I send out a message to my kind
I'm Cordial to Mr Norfull, Mrs. Adam you're the theme song when I'm battling*
Creb flow, player whats happenin
I can hear the truth in your rappins'
(No)
Sex before you marry
No grudges
You should be carry no lyin
Not supposed to be gamblin'
[CHORUS]
(I know it sounds familiar)
We all the same man
It's all a game
The devil hate each and every one of us exactly the same
(I wanna walk like Jesus, talk like jesus SAW)
You know
(uh)
And To my Akh's tryin to stay on their deen
It gets mean especially when u stay on the scene
And at the same try to stay out of trouble
But don't forget the blessing's in the struggle
The Most Forgiving will forgive it if you stay repentant
And hustle
You gotta stay on your salats, your zakats, your Quran
To my homies and miskeen
Astagfurallah,
Allah forgive us all
For we all are sinners
Bless us to be among the winners
When it ends
But until then please strengthen the mission within our hearts
All praise is due to God
(Amen)
Tellin it how it was taught me
I ain't tryin to sell it can be brought for free
This is how it is
Now how it ought to be
Muhammad talk to me
Jesus walk with me
I hope...
[CHORUS]
