Faith by Essam Muhammad Lyrics
[Chorus] (x3)
Now I gotta grind hard 'til we all straight
Ummi say "You rich son if you got faith
You can't know ease if you don't know heartache
And love is so sweet if you only knew the taste"
[Verse]
Swimming against the current, tryna see the shore
I was questioning my circle, I just wasn't sure
Had me give into temptations till I wanted more
Soul affected with a sickness, searching for a cure
Time was passing in a quickness, tryna chase it though
Lived a little too fast, now I'm living slow
I appreciate the present, treat it like a gift
I put my head on the mat, so my faith would lift
Up like the birds soaring in the wind
I feel no worries in that moment, not a single thing
My eyes is heavy but my chest is weightless
Yeah I slipped up as youth, I'm not afraid to say it
The OGs showed me what patience is, I try to relate it
I'm learning from the children, the essence of inspiration
What you say really don't matter with that demonstration
Still tryna reach the masses-one like Muhammad's nation
Peace be upon him, every poem is a dedication
So then my travel becomes worship, I don't take vacations
The haters talking, I don't listen, I can't let them faze me
Cuz only God can judge intentions, the scriptures mention
Every letter, every word and every single sentence
Has a story like our lives I pray we implement them
[Chorus] (x3)
Now I gotta grind hard 'til we all straight
Ummi say "You rich son if you got faith
You can't know ease if you don't know heartache
And love is so sweet if you only knew the taste"
Now I gotta grind hard 'til we all straight
Ummi say "You rich son if you got faith
You can't know ease if you don't know heartache
And love is so sweet if you only knew the taste"
[Verse]
Swimming against the current, tryna see the shore
I was questioning my circle, I just wasn't sure
Had me give into temptations till I wanted more
Soul affected with a sickness, searching for a cure
Time was passing in a quickness, tryna chase it though
Lived a little too fast, now I'm living slow
I appreciate the present, treat it like a gift
I put my head on the mat, so my faith would lift
Up like the birds soaring in the wind
I feel no worries in that moment, not a single thing
My eyes is heavy but my chest is weightless
Yeah I slipped up as youth, I'm not afraid to say it
The OGs showed me what patience is, I try to relate it
I'm learning from the children, the essence of inspiration
What you say really don't matter with that demonstration
Still tryna reach the masses-one like Muhammad's nation
Peace be upon him, every poem is a dedication
So then my travel becomes worship, I don't take vacations

And love is so sweet if you only knew the taste"
