Because clearly no one can see it,And it's not a matter of just wanting my friends; you must want to need itYou God worshipping, devil hating, creationsHaitians, Asians, brown skinned, CaucasianArab-African, son or daughter of a son and a daughter,Mostly made from water, tell me where is your fear?Surely God has made his message easy for remembrance,But is there anyone of you that will actually remember?Despite your gender, age, colour or classThose who fight fire with fire usually end up with ashYou're young and dumb and dumb because you're youngNot ready for commitment, you just wanna have funInsh'Allah you say, you'll change your ways one dayThe only problem is, we're supposed to praise like we have no more daysYou who came from this faith, you who pray every other dayYou part time Muslims, working for minimum wageMasha'Allah you are very brave, have you no fear?You say Iman is in your heart, but is your heart sincere?What if you were a hypocrite and didn't even know it?Scared of being scared so your pride won't let you show itYour friends think it's funny that your sisters wear a hijabOr that for a month every year you decide to fastHalas, you just wanna blend in, so you decide to hang outAccustom to sin, like the dessert is to draughtsBut you shouldn't be scared of what your friends might sayYou should be scared to death of the Judgment daySo lose those friends, like fools do their wealth,Cause you hang with 9 idiots, you're probably the 10thWe plot and dream about things that don't countAs if money and fame mean anything in the next lifeIt's a shame we can't come through on the things we claimGuard your tongue from praise as you have guarded it from blameTo whom is your fear aimed? You wouldn't disrespect your motherBut yet you would disrespect the actual creator of all things?So who do you choose to fear? Who deserves your nerves?Don't curve your words, for Allah has already heard,All your truths, your secrets worst dreams,Surely the creator of all, sees and knows all thingsSo who are you lying to except yourself?A Branch from a dead tree, please release yourselfTroubled teens; ask your Lord to guide you to the deanIyyāka na'budu wa iyyāka nasta'īnYou alone we worship, and You alone we ask for helpYa Allah please have mercy on those who do not have mercy on themselvesThis country of Kaffir, makes our faith that much harderSo please forgive our parents for their failing sons and daughtersI am your martyr, so please bring me to your safetyI'm black and Muslim, everywhere I go someone hates meSo please protect me and the rest of this ummahProvide us with fear, allow us to live sunnahThe way of the Rasoul, sallallahou alayhi wasallamThe way of your messenger, May peace be upon himHelp us to practice the words of your holy text,Because who cares about this life, I'm worried about the nextSo don't let them get you down, ask Allah for some better daysBecause when the world pushes you to your knees,You are in the perfect position to pray.© Boonaa Mohammed - 2008
