[?/?/??]
A lost brotha with a 40 in hand at the club
thinkin he the man lookin for a shorty to rub
music bumpin, the heat risin to the beat of the drum
but he doesn't care cuz everyone's numb
rule of thumb - don't judge anyone
a girl passed him n assumed he was dumb
but he came here for free mixin with fly vixens
had thoughts of sinning bein with her he was wishin
she noticed and came up,
told him that she used to be a nun
"now im just enjoying myself cuz life should be fun"
now she chills with a bad crowd from the cops they would run
the two of them danced and together they hummed
the lyrics to the song though it felt kinda wrong
he didn't care about anything except her stare
his homies wanted him to touch her that was the dare
but instead he just wanted to make her the other half of his pair
he got lost in her eyes and touched her hair
then came her man outta nowhere
and their views he didn't share
the brotha was drunk so he called him a punk
there was a confrontation that lead to an altercation
her man was not a stranger to incarceration
so her boyfriend beat the brotha down n took out his gun
shot the brotha dead and that's the end of story number one.
Number two is about a brother too
he had a big beard and would preach for years
considered the most pious among his peers
rockin the thawb with the scholarly robes
but nobody really knows about the life he never showed
but still some thought he was weird cuz he would be on his high horse
being harsh, judgding people on their course, hiding his secret life with lil whores
passing fatwas comin home checkin websites that'd make you go "WHAT THE ---
F is wrong with you!?" talkin about fiqh? you need to get smacked dude
type of hypocrite that'd make you sick
but it happens in the ummah, a face you might've seen at jumuah
paying lipservice to the sunnah will get you trouble sooner
deen is missing the full piece like a crescent lunar
but maybe there's still hope for you brother
keep the deen but change the haram to another
don't be a shame to your mother nor anger the One above ya
I pray for you cuz I still love ya
just focus on yourself and stay in school
don't let shaytan make you a fool
that's enough to make em cool now that's enough for number two.
Story number three is kinda silly actually
about this sister who used to be hijabi
but seeing her sister get married in her mind made her think
she can't do the same unless she winks
at some of these boys, cuz being all coy won't get her the real mccoy so
on to the battle of troy within she went
tucked in the tummy n got real slim
made changes overnight took classes on seduction
thinkin in due time that boy she'll win
but the boy she was chasing was after another girl even more thin
her chances were lookin pretty grim cuz she still had that double chin
then one day she looked up at herself in the mirror
n realized she doesn't need to change herself for someone inferior
reminiscing back to the simple days when she would get her flab on
as she wiped off the last trace of the liz claiborne
sister felt this wasn't her so she backtracked, smacked back the hijab on
and with God she went and got her collab on.
Number four is about a woman who likes to explore
she used to cuss at the Muslims and anything related she deplored
Then one day she came across a pamphlet on the floor
it said "come to the mosque and don't leave your questions at the door"
so she shows up with anger on her face
everything the media taught her she would throw at em just in case
n spoke on everything which made her heart fume
the imam told her that by the flames of hatred she'd been consumed
so she calmed down n relaxed just enough to ask
"what is your people's task?"
The imam replied "to remove from humanity all the masks"
right then n there she began to cry cuz she was starting to understand why
she had never had peace cuz she was stuck living a lie
so the Imam wiped her tears and said "All we're asked to do is try"
so she went home n read the Quran
within the next few weeks she accepted Islam
now she writes psalms about living your life right from wrong.
The last story is about a man who was selfless
worked very hard and would treat his wife like an empress
his kids grew to be contemptuous
of a society they thought senseless
started speaking on behalf of the defenseless
the father thought they were senseless
but started changing his mind when he heard his own people's consensus
wars and occupations "let's end this!"
emails, forwards about injustice - better send this
giving speeches at conventions, now he meant this
toured the cities from New York to Memphis
his face plastered on the press, started to impress
the Congress but with a crooked emphasis
they feared the power he possessed
obsessed they became to find ways to suppress
the growing union he coalesced and tried to end
the message he pressed conveyed in his chest
so they tried to frame him by claiming he owned a bomb-laiden vest
and the media turned the whole thing into a mess
his family and wife became depressed
while his innocence they stressed
knowing that they lied but he digressed
he ended up in G-Bay and you know the rest
still saw himself blessed n considered it all a test
all the while being fed pig intestines to ingest.
These are just some stories that might sound familiar
each of them is fiction but they're all sorta similar
used to illustrate the five faces of the ummah
the sinners, hypocrites, believers, converts, and the righteous
all types of people from Alaska to Cyprus
represent the five pillars in different lights
some were wrong some were right
but the earth doesn't spin without a day and a night
people are the same n you gotta have both sides right?
and having said that I'm out - goodnight!
