[Intro: Fahrenheit 9/11 Excerpt, Lupe Fiasco]"This is the one we listen to the most. This is the one we travel, we kill the enemy. let the bodies hit the floor, is just fitting for the job that we're doing."
"A'udhu billahi minash-shaytaanir rajeem, bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Rahim"
(Literal translation: "I seek refuge from Satan, the outcast, in the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.")
(Arabic prayer in background)
This one's for all my brothers and sister that died in Iraq, Israel, Afghanistan, right here in America..
[Chorus: Lupe Fiasco](Jesus Walks)
Abraham Talked
Muhammad Talked
And Moses split the sea
(Jesus Walk with me)
I ain't trying to profit of the prophets so this one's for free
[Verse #1: Lupe Fiasco]G's up along with Muhammad and Jesus
In the Quran they call him Isa
Don't think Osama and Saddam are our leader
We pray for peace, but the drama intrigues us
All, so we fall for the illusions of the beast
So instead of trying to teach we show our teeth
Same God, different beliefs
Hijabs, Sunday clothes, yamulka, kufi, same mission beneath
We all trying to get to where the suffering ends
In front of the Most High being 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
Trying to stay afloat, and put the devil in the yolk
With a couple of God's quotes I hope
[Chorus: Lupe Fiasco](Jesus Walks)
Abraham Talked
Muhammad Talked
And Moses split the sea
(Jesus Walk with me)
I ain't trying to profit of the prophets so this one's for free
(Arabic prayer playing in background)
Abraham Talked
Muhammad Talked
And Moses split the sea
(Jesus Walk with me)
I ain't trying to profit of the prophets so this one's for free
[Verse #2: Lupe Fiasco]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 Ramadan we starve
Though you not eating, there's a feeding of the mind
A defeating of the demons, a seeing of the signs
A leaning on the lines from the surahs
Getting purer, God deemed it unclean
There's no eating of the swine
Nor drinking of the wine
We all been to his whim, so I send out rheems to my kind
I'm cordial to Mr. Norful, Mrs. Adams' you're the theme song when I'm battling
Creflo, playa whats happening
I can hear the truth in your rappings'
No, sex before you marry
No grudges you should carry, no lying
Not supposed to be gambling
[Chorus: Lupe Fiasco](Jesus Walks) Real talk
Abraham Talked
Muhammad Talked
And Moses split the sea
(Jesus Walk with me)
(I know it sounds familiar)
I ain't tryin to profit of the prophets so this one's for free
We all the same man
It's all a game man
The devil hate each and every one of us exactly the same
No matter what you walk with
[Verse #3: Lupe Fiasco]You know,
And to my Akh's trying to stay on their Deen
It gets mean, especially when you stay on the scene
And at the same time tryin' to stay out of trouble
But don't forget the blessing is 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 (poor)
Astaghfirullah (Literal translation: "I seek forgiveness from Allah"),
Allah forgive us all
For we all are sinners
Bless us to be amongst the winners when it ends
But until then please strengthen the mission within our hearts
All praise is due to God (Amen)
Telling it how it was taught me
I aint trying 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: Lupe Fiasco](Jesus Walks)
Abraham Talked
Muhammad Talked
And Moses split the sea
(Jesus Walk with me)
I ain't trying to profit of the prophets so this one's for free.
