Drea d'Nur:
Loved a broken man
Raised by broken men
Who hit the floor and rose again
Who told the Devil and his friends
I got your generals and their kin
Held captive by the bend
And with his finger on the pin
Said it's either me or it's them
Yeah it's either me or it's them
And begged the Lord please let me in x2
Maimouna Youssef:
Despicable me, invincible seed
Born naked as can be, expect me to believe
In my own inferiority, when I was born holy
Nah, you don't really know what you think you know homie
Like my daddy told me,
sometimes you gotta ride the pale horse through hell
for a heavenly cause
Hold that while I slip through these bars
Go and sit with the stars,
Where the scripture written in position to Mars
Al hamdillah
Rebel without a pause
I've walked too long in the dark, for me to ever be lost
Dark matter, black is where the source is
Where the scorch is, only when you embrace it can you morph it
F--k your religious guilt, look at all the blood you spilt
Hand soiled in hypocrisy, if anything you teaching me how not to be
I'm the salt of the earth, you aristocracy
GOD
Brother Ali:
La illaha ill Allah
Ya Hafeedh
I tried talk to GOD in the words that we were taught
Strived to wrap my tongue around the scripture we were brought
Struggled just to mumble in the Madrasa and the mosque
My eyes said it all with the water that poured out when I was caught
The dead sea I cried brought text I read to life
The eye of my heart was baptized in light
In the middle of the night curled up like a newborn
Remembering the womb was warm but you’ve been warned
The true walking sign of GOD in human form
Tip toeing over fire while being fired on
Blood, sweat, semen and tears all on my garment
Tryna sing a sonet that’s pure enough to wash it
Tap out a tempo on a rock with my staff
To bring the water forth and help me conquer my past
When the sea split we dipped to freedom at last
Let my inner pharaoh just drown in the crash
GOD
