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 Saying God, different beliefs Hijabs, Sunday clothes, yarlmucha, 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't front for the Most High, so the struggle Continues You, every bee, 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)

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 bend to his whim, so I send out greetings 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'

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 time, 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)
