(1) RAMADAN IS HERE
Ramadan is Here (4x)
Yo they sighted the moon, its Ramadan! Now I gotta plan, before it's come and gone
Getting close to Allah, spend a lot of time. Check the condition of my heart, like a sonogram
Uh… Everybody knows that we gotta fast. But does everybody know how the time is passed?
Is it sleeping all day and the night's a blast? And forgetting the reward of the month is vast?
I know you gonna wake-up, right. Drinking water maybe bean-pie, praying at sunrise....
Fast in the day, keeping that deen tight. Breaking fast with some dates, taraweeh at night
Alright... it’s a blessed month. It doesn’t mean at iftar, that you can’t have fun,
But strive in your heart, for your Lord the one… And be blessed by Allah, when the month is done.
[Chorus]
Four minutes left, Mom busts in the door, like… Get yourself up, you about to miss Suhur
Turkey bacon on the plate but I’m beefing. I'm up here sleeping, when they’re down here eating.
Scenes like this, it makes me reminisce what it meant growing up with Ramadan as a kid.
My homie's buying up the corner store. Now or later, quarter waters,
We break at eight but its quarter to four.
They got jokes, like oh yeah he’s fasting. Something about blessings, heaven everlasting
Asking like the Feds up on me, “But dude, let me ask you for real, is you hungry?”
A hunger for the day when the sins on my slate be as empty as the food on my plate.
And if you got jokes, man here is a taste. Take a little fasters breath to the face.
[Chorus]
Ramadan vibrations, more donations. Dinner invitations, many supplications
Good behavior means better reputations. Don’t start nothing, no provocations
No fighting no argumentation. From the fitna and the drama, take a vacation
Mosque is packed with a huge congregation. Some just come as an annual visitation
Some just come for the hum of the recitation. Memorization of revelation,
Less temptation, with more contemplation. Getting ready for the Eid celebration
Shake a lot of hands giving salutations, Salaam Alaykums, peace upon the nation
The world is one, forget the segregation. Another Ramadan congratulations!!
(2) FOR THE PROPHETS
Asalaatu Alannabe, Wasalaam Alarasool
Walanbiyya el-Mursaleen,
Kulluhum Salooalay
[Chorous]
Prayers To Allah be on Nabi
The messenger may peace be on thee
And all the prophets sent to mankind
We pray for each and everyone
Before he was born the Pharaoh wanted him dead
Nobody killed him he floated up the river instead
Not a scratch on his body and no blood did he shed
Ended up at the house of the man that wanted his head
They didn't know, they raised him as a child of their own
He was treated like a king up until he was grown
He protected a slave with one hit to one man with one hand
Killed him by mistake so that's when he ran
Drawn to a burning bush and spoke with the Greatest
Who told him go right back to Pharaoh and make sure that you say this:
You tell ‘em that you are a Messenger a Prophet of Mine
That I am the Divine and I am sending you with My signs
Pharaoh did decline, he rejected all 9 of the signs
Musa (Moses) said it's time, his people had to run to the sea
Split it in half with his staff, Pharaoh drowned in the wrath
Musa's people started worshipping a golden calf
Threw the tablets down because he was mad
It's sad that his people made him miss the Promised Land
But he's still one of the 5 greatest Prophets in Islam
[Chorous]
Prayers To Allah be on Nabi
The messenger may peace be on thee
And all the prophets sent to mankind
We pray for each and everyone
From average beginnings
Come above average endings
A simple du'a to have righteous descendants
From a mother, to a daughter who would soon give birth to a son
And right there
Miracle number 1
No father did he have to help conceive his birth
No other child would have this status here
on this planet Earth
And what's that phrase
From out of the mouths of babes
Schooling cats at a very young age
The sweetest of his breath bring life to birds of clay
Curing the blind so they could see a brighter day
Where Islam reigned supreme and the dunya gave way
Evil will be vanquished if strong the Muslims stay
Amongst his crew he asked the true to proclaim who they are
NAHNU ANSARULLAH (We are the helpers of God)
So Native Deen lets tell the people right now who we are
NAHNU ANSARULLAH
Healed those with leprosy raised the dead so we could see
No limit to the will of Allah and Allah's mercy
But the heedless they scammed
Plot and they planned
You may have gotten the body
But you did not get the man
He was raised to Allah to soon return again
Easy comes His mercy to the righteous Mu'min & Mu'minah
So Prophet Isa (Jesus), I hope that they see
Why we sing this for thee

570 was a time like no other
A baby was born to a poor widowed mother
Was raised by his uncle in the sands of Arabia
Known it the town by his upright behavior
Always doing favors for the poor and the neighbors
A true life saver when their problems were major
Khadijah his boss he would soon marry later
Check the love that she gave him and the love that he gave her
At 40 years old, according to the Seerah in a cave called Hira
On a spiritual retreat, he would meet Jibraeel (Gabriel)
Angel Gabriel on the real
Holy Book of the Quran he had come to reveal: “Read in the Name of your Lord Who created”
And thus began a message from Allah dictated
at 622 the Prophet made the Hijrah
Migrated to a place where the people got the picture
He could teach about Allah without his people being beaten
His folks back in Mecca couldn't stand all the preaching
So they planned an attack, the Muslims fought back
‘cos they ain't the type of people who sit back and get sacked
But the Prophet wanted peace, they agreed upon a truce
For years there was peace, to teach about the truth
but the Meccans broke the treaty so the Prophet conquered Mecca
The Prophet brought peace, was not even a speck of bloodshed when he came and met his old foes
It's the mercy and the wisdom that the Prophet always shows
A man of justice, equality and love
On him we pray for peace and the blessings from above.

Call on God, he hears when you cry,

(4) STAND ALONE
I am not afraid to stand alone
I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah is by my side
I am not afraid to stand alone
Everything is gonna be alright
I am not afraid to stand alone
Going keep my head up high
I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah is by my side
Everything is going be alright
Going to keep my head up high
Single mother raising her children
And Now she's a Muslim
Started praying and wearing a headscarf
It Was a healing for her heart
Struggling with no one to lean on
But with prayer she would be strong
Had a job but then she was laid off
Got a better education and it paid off
She was called for a job that she dreamed of
Close by, great pay -she was in love --
They brought her in -- told her shes the 1 pick
You got the job, but you gotta lose the outfit"
It's a tough position that you put me in
Cause look at my condition, and my two children
But I'll continue looking for a job again
Cause my faith and my religion I will never bend
I am not afraid to stand alone
I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah is by my side
I am not afraid to stand alone
Everything is gonna be alright
I am not afraid to stand alone
Going keep my head up high
I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah is by my side
Everything is going be alright
Going to keep my head up high
Peer pressure, they were insisting
And I was resisting
Some days.... I felt I would give in
Just wanted to fit in
I know.....when I'm praying and fasting'
They be teasing and laughing
So I called to my Lord for the power
For the strength every day, every hour...
one day there's a new Muslim teacher
Single mom and the people respect her
Just seeing.... her strength I get stronger
They can break my will no longer
You don't see me sweatin' when they're jokes cracking
Never see me cussing' with my pants saggin'
I aint never running Yo Im still standing,
sorry I aint jumping on your band wagon, cause...
I am not afraid to stand alone
I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah is by my side
I am not afraid to stand alone
Everything is gonna be alright
I am not afraid to stand alone
Going keep my head up high
I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah is by my side
Everything is going be alright
Going to keep my head up high
Now, I'm a tough one, who can bear their blows
The rest play dumb, they don't dare say no
Scared of being shunned, but its clear they know
I aint never gonna run, I aint scared no more....
Man, these sisters be resolute
Never stressed when the rest say they wasn't cute
And the get the respect of the other youth
Come best with the dress yo and thats the truth
These sisters are strong gonna hand it down
So me Im a brotha gotta stand my ground
No fear, Im tough Im the man in town
Peer pressure no more, its my planet now
Others may fall, but Im hold my own
With Allahs help I'll be strong as stone
And I'll be the one to let Al Islam be shown
Cause I am not afraid yo to stand alone
I am not afraid to stand alone
I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah is by my side
I am not afraid to stand alone
Everything is gonna be alright
I am not afraid to stand alone
Going keep my head up high
I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah is by my side
Everything is going be alright
Going to keep my head up high
(5) DEEN YOU KNOW
I am the Deen you know
I am the Deen you need
I am the Deen you love
Please come back to me
He (satan) wants to bring you down, he whispers everyday
You started on the path and he led you astray
I know you will come back, you never feel at peace
You're searching for the truth to put your mind at ease
You know you're missing me, I know what you've been through
When we meet again, we have a lot of work to do
I am the Deen you know
I am the Deen you need
I am the Deen you love
Please come back to me
Your life had just begun, I helped to raise you up
You thought it'd be easy but your life turned out to be rough
You thought I let you down, I never let you go
I'm worried ‘cause you left me and you didn't even know
You know you're gonna die, who knows when that will be
Before you meet Allah you should come back to me
I am the Deen you know
I am the Deen you need
I am the Deen you love
Please come back to me
People coming back, People coming back
To Islam, people are coming to this Deen
To Islam, you are invited to this Deen
(6) M-U-S-L-I-M
M-U-S-L-I-M
One billion strong, all year long,
Prayers to Allah even in Hong Kong
Can never be wrong if we read the Qur'an
Cause it's never been changed since day one.
Others may brag, say that we lag,
But they don't know all the power we had
The power we had, the power we have
So Muslimoon don't you ever be sad
Take many looks, go read their books,
You'll see all the facts that your friends overlook,
So always be proud, you can say it out loud
I am proud to be down with the Muslim crowd!
M-U-S-L-I-M
I'm so blessed to be with them...
M-U-S-L-I-M
I'm so blessed to be with them...
They look at me strangely
Like I emit some type of energy
That draws Kafirs - disbelievers towards me.
Thinking to themselves what makes him different from me.
Is it the hair, the clothes or maybe the food he eats,
What could it be, that make thug cats, stand at attention,
His demeanor's peaceful but on his face it's clearly written that,
This aint the sorta brother caught up in this and that
Running streets carrying heat yo he aint into that.
This brother must live by some type of criteria,
To make it to the average cat quite superior
So maybe one of these days I get near enough
Play like Nancy Drew on this mystery and clear it up.
So listen up if you think this is strange,
Cause these the type of thoughts that use to run through a new Shahada's brains
and I bear witness to the one with 99 names, InshAllah I will always remain.
M-U-S-L-I-M
I'm so blessed to be with them...
M-U-S-L-I-M
I'm so blessed to be with them...
Don't know about you, I know about me,
I'm proud because I'm rolling Islamically
Everywhere I see, even on TV,
People talking trash about the way I be.
But what they all hate, is if we get great
Cause we're the only ones with our heads on straight
Don't ever frown, or your head looking down,
If you read the Qur'an you're the best in the town.
Y'all have doubt say- we have no clout
But-within-a-few years see how we've come about.
Were back on the scene, The number-one deen,
I'm proud to be down with the Muslimeen!
