بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ

Bi-smi llāh [with the name of G-d]

A book that is pure

success that is sure you see,

they're scared of the truth, so they're cursing the cure.

A house that is broken is fixed by a man and a woman together

because they understand that positive role models built folks who endure

and a threat to their plans or their they're cursing to cure.

You see the link with The Maker is more precious than cash.

Have you making that cash without selling your class

in an instant repentance replacing your past with an uplifting life dignify that will last, inshallah.

Fearing not police nor car lease no more.

Fearing not notice three days on your door,

not caught up selling that stuff and still poor while them foreigners get paid selling food at the store.

Believing the truth, not believing the hype,

knowing successful days come from praying at night.

You see, they know from our past that we’ll come up for sure, insha'Allah,

so they're skinning and grinning and cursing the cure.

They say Islam is terror, yo, don't read that book.

But to tell you the truth, Islam got them shook.

You see, they're shaking and trembling, but not of an attack,

but of them sleepwalkers, waking and making contact,

with their reason for living and giving themselves for a better tomorrow extinguishing hell,

while the worldly clutched riches they're building their hell as a slave dreams of paradise clutching the cell.

Of them plantation prisons, Latinos and Blacks, militaries send soldiers on brutal attacks

where women and children are killed by the scores,

man we're selling our soul like they're sold at the store.

But their plan is futile if we just focus in,

on the shaper of women the builder of men,

The Giver of Life, The Giver of Death,

The Maker of day, night, The Author of breath.

Who sends down the rains to grow food.

Understand,

go straight to the source, cut out the middleman.

You gotta take it from the ground,

you gotta refine it and eat.

We gotta take it from the books.

We gotta learn it and teach.

We gotta take back our lives from those closing the door

as they pose as our friends while they're cursing the cure.
