lyrics

My parents are literally from the Middle East. I was born in Shaolin aka Little Italy, so hear my soliloquy. Hear the pitter-patter of little feet. Now men wanna call me terrorist unnecessarily. Warily, I walk in places where my face is distinguished. My parents are Persian but my first language is English. You can catch me at friday prayers in Brooklyn. Getting weird looks they've never seen a tattooed dreaded-bearded Muslim. Cops wanna arrange for my arraignment. Say I'm an assailant so they doctor up some fraudulent surveillance. Take me to Guantanamo, do me like they did Geronimo. All this oppression is not honorable. Treat me like an animal, consume the world just like a cannibal. Addict them to alcohol just to get the capital. I think you wrote the manual on colonialism and putting people in prison just for practicing religion.

This is the religion that we practice, so embrace this information because we know you lack this. Some of us were born here and some of us have accents, the brotherhood has love from the streets to the Masjids.

Honestly, there's not enough modesty in our community. Everybody's acting so reckless with such impunity. And scrutiny is something that people don't take so easily. We believe that much of society acts so sleazily the Fire will engulf them, the culprits are held accountable. Everything you've done in your life there's an unsurmountable amount of evidence. And it was evident ever since you was a youngin never cared about your brother's betterment. So now the same sentiment, you're just not a commodity. When I told you I practiced Islamically you took it as a comedy. You thought reality was just a parody. Apparently, a strong mind today is such a rarity. So stay focused and show patience. It's persistence and consistence when it's trials and tribulations. In the violent situations, in the times that people racist. Through the war and propaganda, until they read me my Miranda. I'm a Muslim.
