Robin Hood by Essam Muhammad Lyrics
[Verse 1: Essam & Petty Pro]
What if I told I prayed my five
They say I'm pious, but I'm just an average guy
Lot of pain hidden in my side of town
Boys sink or swim, we ain't tryna drown
Yung'ns run around, spiritually broke
Tryna get [?] coping through the dope
Fiending for a fix, put me on the stage
Asking for a flick, little do they know
Sins don't got a scent, if they really did
Then you would smell the stench
Got some deep wounds that made me like this
Where the heck the doctor? I might need a stitch
You can hear the trauma every time I spit
Lost so many brothers, time is moving quick (time is moving quick)
Police coming round, no one innocent
Coming from the bottom, hiking out the trench
I been on my deen, trying to benefit
Face to the floor, praying for some mercy
Devil trying to hurt me
I just hope I reach, Jannah on my journey
On the straight path you can never turn me
I don't need a vest (you don't need a vest)
Shahadah in my chest
Dunya to the grave plotting for the rush
[Chorus: Essam]
They tell me to dumb it down
But how can we dumb it down
My people is dying the rich never come around
The rich never come around
When you're speaking the truth just know they gon' gun you down
Just know they gon' gun you down
Just know they gon'- ( click, bang)
I'm feelin' like Robin Hood
They try to rob the hood
Feelin' like Robin Hood
They try to rob the hood
I'm feelin' like Robin Hood
They try to rob the hood
Feelin' like Robin Hood
[Verse 2: Essam]
Don't think of me highly, I'm just a brother tryna get it right
As a teen I was wildin' raised up in the jungle, had a fight
And now I'm just grindin', early morning working to the night
Need a moment of silence, for all of the mothers that won't sleep tonight
Can't fall in love with the money
What do you mean? I pray salat with the team
How you gon' look at us funny?
Findin' our purpose and get it by any means
Activists without the lean
They want to smoke so I guess we're bringing nicotine
Akhs on the block like newstands
And they stocked up with magazines ( magazine click )
But that ain't your job to judge, most of us fatherless
Ain't had no pot to piss, is this the apocalypse?
Killing the innocent with rocket ships
If Ima die today make sure the family straight
Just gotta pray to Allah we make it through Heaven's gates
[Pre-Chorus: Essam]
I'm feelin' like Robin Hood
They try to rob the hood
Feelin' like Robin Hood
They try to rob the hood
I'm feelin' like Robin Hood
They try to rob the hood
Feelin' like Robin Hood
[Chorus: Essam]
They tell me to dumb it down
But how can we dumb it down
My people is dying the rich never come around
The rich never come around
When you're speaking the truth just know they gon' gun you down
Just know they gon' gun you down
Just know they gon'- (pop)( click, bang)
[Outro: Essam]
I'm feelin' like Robin Hood
They try to rob the hood
Feelin' like Robin Hood
They try to rob the hood
I'm feelin' like ( click, bang)
What if I told I prayed my five
They say I'm pious, but I'm just an average guy
Lot of pain hidden in my side of town
Boys sink or swim, we ain't tryna drown
