MUSLIM Lyrics[Chorus]
Ay
I'm a Muslim
My religion is Islam
Followin' the Sunnah and the way of Quran
[Verse 1]
I'm a Muslim
Travelin' these lands from the concrete jungle to Sahara golden sands
Walkin' in the steps of my prophets
Like Jesus, Abraham, Moses, Muhammad
(Salallahu 'alaihi wasallam)
May peace and blessings be upon him
Listen to Allah's words make my heart soft
Instead of a poet
I'd rather be a Qari
But I still learn Tajweed, from my Sheikh Abdul Bari
Project Baby, Wallahi this deen saved me
Without faith, this Dunya is so scary and momentary
Before I take my last breath
I pray this Shahada is engraved in my chest
So when I'm buried, white cloth is my dress
Ya Allah let Jannah be my next step
[Chorus]
Cuz I'm a Muslim
My religion is Islam
Followin' the Sunnah and the way of Quran
[Verse 2]
I'm a Muslim
So are my people from the land
When they get freedom I'll be as happy as I can
Got faith in one hand, a Glock in another
I'm listenin' to ignorance while talking with severed
A conflict between this life and lifestyle
Steady fighting battles wit what's right 'n right now
Media contradictin', turnin' lies to the truth
Gettin' killed for Shahada, but will die for the truth
Media contradictin', turnin' lies to the truth
Gettin' killed for Shahada, but will die for the truth
[Chorus]
Cuz I'm a Muslim
My religion is Islam
Followin' the Sunnah and the way of Quran
[Verse 3]
First is the Shahada
Then comes the Salah
From Fitr to Maal
Next come the Zakah
Shawm al-Ramadan
30 days of fast
Those are four pillars and Hajj is the last
Can come wit something new, you gotta bring the proof
Nahi anil munkar and Amr bil maroof
We're humble in our speech
Gaze lower to our feet
Facing the right, every time we go to sleep
Challenging the strong, having mercy on the weak
Goin' on vacation, only time we retreat
Ain't about the outcome, it's about what you intended
Actions gotta be correct wit correct intentions
Practicing Tauhed, reciting wit Tajweed
Alhamdulillah, I'm pleased with what's decreed
Keep my faith high, but I always put my faith low
Created from clay, but we don't never play
[Chorus : Muslim Belal]
I'm a Muslim
My religion is Islam
Followin' the Sunnah and the way of Quran
I'm a Muslim
[Verse 4 : Muslim Belal]
And this is Muslim poetry
I shared stories about the man that I used to be
I read some books by Ibn Kathir, and I turned my life around
Cuz the messege clear
I took my Air Max off and I walked in a mosque
I felt, peace in my mind and my heart turned soft
I'm a black slave, I'm surviving in these last days
Saw a cave as I'm turning my Qur'an page
I'm posted outside Jum'ah on a Friday
Scarred from Palestine, fold from Kuwait
Sittin' in a dark, takin' notes from a sheikh about
Imam Bukhari, that's the life of the greats, yo
Imam is faith and taqwa is fair
I learned from Sheikh al-Islam, that's Ibn Taymi
We started off strange and we finished off strange
I'm a stranger, and my message is clear
[Chorus]
Cuz I'm a Muslim
My religion is Islam
Followin' the Sunnah and the way of Quran
[Verse 5]
That's why I use my right, if I ever shake your hand
Trying to walk a straight path, never deviate the plan
I'm a Muslim, from the river to the sea
Covered from my navel to my knee
I don't make my paper in the street, not at pace to keep it clean
Cause that dirty money might just have you straying from your deen
I'm a Muslim with the mu'minin
Check my backpack, you find books on the deen
Check my background, then you see where I've been
I flew to Egypt for that knowledge man, it felt like a dream
I'm a Muslim man, when they ask why I'm wearin' dis folk
I just tell them I'm a Muslim man
Newspaper talkin' bout Muslim gangs
Guess the brotherhood is something' they just don't understand
I was a Muslim boy around, Muslim Bilal
I know they thought we were Muslim for now
Muslim until they wrapped me in a sheet and put me in the ground
I can't, keep it real unless I keep it halal
[Verse 6]
I'm a Muslim, but what nullifies it?
It's essential to know if we're qualifying
If it's better to go where there's no denying
There's different methods to know if your soul is dying
I'm a Muslim, 'n you know dat
Started from the street, but we flipped da road map
When I check it, I was tryna get my soul back
In the front row, foes black, look at the growth act
Came a long way from serving out of old flats
I'm a weight like the wudu and the cold taps
Allah created our existence, what's the best way to live it?
How can we get the most out of the life that we're livin'?
Is it drugs, money 'n women? Tell me, is it fulfillin'?
How many years left till near death?
We're a people of preparation, what's prepared next?
Is it just darkness when you die?
Will you be asked about your life?
Your good and bad actions that your palms have put aside
Let's place them on a scale, is it heavy or light?
If you knew your best action could get you leveragin' light
Would you make efforts to live a delicate life?
What if you knew our evil actions get documented in books?
We think we're free from our actions, and when we die, it's all good
I'm a Muslim, I pay attention to these matters
Until the day comes when all our actions are gathered
[Chorus : Ilyas Mao]
