Khaled Siddique - On Deen 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 m**m 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 k** 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
