On Deen by Khled Siddq Lyrics
Yo before I start this verse
I think it's best that I say
I ain't pious, I ain't righteous
I ain't one of the greats
I ain't Umar, I ain't Ali (RA), I ain't Ahlul Bayt
So now we've got that straight, let me express my faith
Cause all the people wanna know, how you got on deen bro?
What made you leave the scene bro?
What light did you see bro?
We see you've got a beard now
So we wanna hear how
This new improved Muslim has just magically appeared now
Well let me stop you there and let me make this clear
I ain't doing this for fame cause fam, I do not care
About the people, or the praise, or 'bout how loud they cheer
Or if they'll still remember me at all when I'm not here
Cause if it ain't for Allah, who am I doing it for?
When the angels raise me up and ask me "Who is your Lord?"
Tell me what will I say?
About the times I didn't pray
About them nights I'd roll around like I wouldn't see the day
When the mountains will fall
And the people will say
"Ya Rabbi, send me back to earth for one more day."
Give us time to repent!
Time to change our ways!
The clocks will not go back
And you can't skip your grave
I swear it broke my heart
The night I heard 'Twon died
Cause it didn't make no sense, how could they kill my guy?
I swear I broke straight down, why is this life so crazy?
I crumbled on the floor that night I cried like a baby
Then I wiped my tears, I swear the truth was clear
This life is temporary, just a couple of years
But then where do we go?
God, tell me what do we do?
And don't tell me that I'm crazy cause you're thinking it to
So I took my time, I had to study the truth
Cause everyone was telling me that their religion was true
So I looked in deep, it's like my heart was numb
But a light was coming out saying Allah is the One
And he ain't no man, a human ain't my saviour
I don't pray to the creation fam I praise the creator
I'm tryna tell my cousin when I visit the pen
Imma bring him a Qur'an next time I visit again
Cause it makes me think, how does a heart get clean?
So many man that go to jail, but somehow still find the deen
And it ain't by chance, there's no smoke in the screen
When you put a man in darkness, then the light can be seen
It's like I think about my brother when I cry and I pray
Cause I'm tryna give him Daw'ah trying to show him the way
Show him partying ain't worth it, I tell him more every day
But then it gets to a point, when what more can you say?
Fam, I need to guide him proper gotta show him the path
Cause I didn't have no man to show me how to pray my Salah
And I didn't have no man to show me how to connect with Allah
And I didn't have no man to show me how to read the Qur'an
I'm just seeking out the truth, so it's the deen that I chose
But I'm fighting my own demons I can feel them getting close
Devils whisper in my chest, trying to make my heart colder
But sometimes it feels like he's right there on my shoulder
Telling me to go back to the life that I left
Telling me I'm missing out and that this life is the best
Me and you ain't finished Khaled cause I'm still in your head..
And I'll be right there in your ear until the day that you're dead
I think it's best that I say
I ain't pious, I ain't righteous
I ain't one of the greats
I ain't Umar, I ain't Ali (RA), I ain't Ahlul Bayt
So now we've got that straight, let me express my faith
Cause all the people wanna know, how you got on deen bro?
What made you leave the scene bro?
