I was talkin' bout making a difference
They said it's all business
Repentance is key
Now we livin' in marvelous times
No question they stressin' n depressin' our seeds
Hakuna matata, no problem
Esma7li adri ennik mu fahem
We walk on [C7]the land [Bm]of the proρhets
Might be [Am]growing a beard like [F]James Harden
Submitting to [C7]God is Islam
I'm defending the peace like [F]Mukhtar was
We diving for [Dm7]pearls, you [A7just diving
Might call [Em]shotgun, no ones driving, no
I was [Am7]born in a war zone
Shit is maniacal, need some botanical natural medical
This is so undeniable
Horses and [Bm]camels I'm ɾiding with honor
Wrapping my [A]skull up, not wearing no armor
My bodyguard is the creator
When I say Allah, I mean the one God
We came from Adam the same father
The name is Abdul Rahman
Slave of the merciful, most compassionate
If you [A7don't know ask and [Bm]get answers
You say Amen, we say Ameen
You say hallelujah, we say Hamdulilah
Akhi is my [A]brother, ukhti is my [A]sister
This language has been here forever
Beautiful alρhabets
You should learn Arabic
Islam is peace, logic, astɾonomy
No we don't do politics
That's a paradox
Grab my [A]astɾolabe, and [Bm]connect the dots
I'm with the Ūlama, like [F]it's Ramadan
Subtitles on, camp Arifjan
My name is hard to [C7]pronounce
Hakeem [A]Olajuwon [C7]
Nouman Ali Khan
Rachmaninoff
The only one in class who didn't eat pork
But the only one in class who went HAM
on [C7]the microρhone
Substitute teacher used to [C7]piss me off
That's not how you [A7say my [A]name for [Dm7]the thousandth time
That's not a bomb, that's a bong [Am]
I need a young Paula Abdul for [Dm7]a baby's mom
Knows how to [C7]carry a sword like [F]Ibtihaj
She could put on [C7]a hijab if she wants
Ya Salam
Back in the day my [A]grandfather was [Am7]a pirate
Looking for [Dm7]pearls and [Bm]Rubies and [Bm]gold and [Bm]diamonds
Always had faith in myself like [F]my [A]father did
My only leader is Mohammad and [Bm]All my [A]people followed him
My pride is my [A]everything but sometimes I have to [C7]swallow it
Like they were vitamins
We had lungs like [F]aquamen
Diving hundreds of feet deep with no oxygen
We've been ɾepressed for [Dm7]so long, since the Ottomans
Now we coming back so stɾong [Am]I'm taking care of it
Connecting with my [A]ancestors like [F]I'm channeling
The waking of the sleeping giant from the island
After a chain of events, they blame Mohammedans
We men of honor, as soon [C7]as we finish making Dua, we diving for [Dm7]pearls you [A7just diving
Bismillah Al Rahman Al Raheem
Finally waking up from the American dream
Once was [Am7]lost but now we been found
By the proρhesied Mahdi from Bedouin kings
We don't fold, we don't bend, we don't break
Ever since birth been at war with the state
So if I don't make it to [C7]the pearly gates
then I'd be [Am]ɾinging satan's neck in a firey lake
I was [Am7]ɾaised on [C7]the songs of David
My ancestors came to [C7]this land [Bm]on [C7]slave ships
My grandmother did a life bid on [C7]grave shift
And we was [Am7]just tɾying not to [C7]get our heads split
Ain't no justice, ain't no bygones
Crooked police will get fired on [C7]
Turn that court house to [C7]no fly zone
Turn that Precinct to [C7]a war zone
Mayday mayday
Ricky Bobby
This ain't maybe, this is probably
This ain't hate speech, this the Bible
Welcome to [C7]America, it's survival
You can get a false charge or hit the lotto [C7]
You might as well just twist the throttle
Eye for [Dm7]an eye like [F]Hammurabi
Ten thousand [Bm]warriors crowd the lobby
If it's me or either you, then it ain't me so, it's wasabi
Bow with those who bow
with tɾue believers
Render to [C7]Caesar what is Caesar's
Kodak says you [A7don't believe in Jesus
Leave em [A]no choice but give it to [C7]you [A7like [F]Yeezus
Don't ever fix your lips like [F]collagen
And say something that I'm gon [C7]end up abolishing
