"Muzzies"

"Muzzies"

I see you and smile, with a beard on my face

you think I beguile searching me for a menacing trace

You see, we have to represent positively for our people

though in a negative light, you see us all as equals

As terrorists and fundamentalists- that's all the picture you see

its not hard to see why you're not friendly with me

but bro I don't know a single violent Muslim

I could care less about fighting the "infidel," let alone kill him

Don't get it twisted, terrorists are wicked

and I stand against them, in spite of who is depicted

on the media and TV, they got the wrong profile

probing our community, I think they should search a new locale

You see it ain't us that's starting wars

or using suicide vests nor planting bombs in cars

think of who it benefits and follow the trail

open your eyes and see the devil's lair

No Muslim with faith could ever do these crimes

cuz this is not jihad- nor sanctioned by Allah - The Sublime

some evil people are in this world with an agenda

claiming they want peace but behind the screen they're just pretenders

Allah the Most High says "Make not mischief on the Earth"

but they don't realize they're the ones spreading the hurt

to them its all about making money no matter the cost

even if it means killing other people, with their souls lost

And guess who's the number one victim?
Muslims- that's who. But how come they don't depict 'em?

"hey gotta catch that boogey man in the sleeper cell

and while we're at it might as well make some contract sales"

So before you judge our community as untrustworthy 

learn about the life of Muhammad - the praise-worthy

he taught that if a Muslim left his neighbor hungry

while he got his own fill, he was not a member of this community

Islam shows us the importance of humanity

so please distance us from this insanity

I do not need to defend my religion

cuz those with open minds will see its peaceful vision

To those who hate us, we pray for you

hoping God cleanses your hearts anew

cuz you see we're all sisters & brothers

struggling together as a single human body

with time you'll realize there is no "other."
