Body Language

your body is a snitch
ready to rat you out on account faster than you can twitch
and this jury does not miss
Angels keeping tabs on slabs of every thought you ever had
you’ve been caught on hidden cam
man
this ain’t no scam
i’d like to call my first witness to the stand
please raise your right hand
and remember
how many times you shook hands with the opposite gender
for business or for pleasure
even though you know better
you still found a way to justify such a gesture
just cause
you wanted people to think you were peaceful
you joined them in evil
the outcome is lethal
better to be struck in the head with an iron needle
be shy from your Lord
not shy from the people
all men are not equal
some work as slaves for this world
and some are slaves for the sequel

how will your palms respond when they’re questioned about this wrong?
will every joint make the point that you strayed from the Qur'an
or will your palms hang on to everything you were upon
did you
raise them to the skies or raise them to haram

will the witness please rise?
and describe your surprise when you realised that you were being compromised
forced to standby
as these thighs walked by
and arrived at a sign for the blind and misguided
you could have been standing up strong in Salah all night long
prostrating to your Lord
to thank Him for what He’s done
but instead of getting your Sujood on
you was getting your groove on
tunes for you to move to by DJ Shaytaan
going
going
gone
when you hear that song
man
you know there’s something wrong when music has replaced your Qur'an
making Thikr of who’s sicker and which artist is the bomb
your iPod is your God you worship whatever’s on
but i wonder what they’d say
if your ears are told to play
back
every track that they heard on the Judgment Day
And they might even complain

Ya Allah
is this why we were made
to embrace the bass of those who’d gone astray?
you listen and obey
everything they have to say
in a way offering praise
every time you press play
but it’s okay cause you know what they say

music’s like candy
you throw rappers away
you could put ‘em on replay
but it still can’t compete with

Alhamdulillah Rabbil Ala'meen

objection
did you not take heed of this message
attention
everything that you see is a blessing
correction
but it comes the fee you accept in
confession
it will speak on the Day of Resurrection
Yamul Qiyama
Yawm Al Din
Yawm Al Haqq

man
this ain’t no dream
so how will you plead
when the jury proceeds?
cause if these eyes testify
guaranteed they won’t lie
on all they used to spy
when that cutie walked by
looking
hot like July
you just stood there and smiled
just feeling their style
so you think it’s all right
but still all the while
making Zina with your eyes
every girl
every guy
will be placed in the lines
on a Day with no shade expect for whom he provides
when all wombs will be dried
and all tombs come alive
and everybody will be sorry cause your bodies will not lie
just between you and i
there is nothing in-between the skies that is unknown to the Most High

He knows when you are sleeping
He knows when you’re awake
He knows if you’ve been bad or good so be good just for His sake
for He gave thee all that thy needs
bestowed His bounty endlessly
O you who believe
Ooh Emm Gee
he’s talking to me
enter into Islam perfectly
fear Allah the way He should be
feared and don’t speak pointlessly
this piece of meat brings misery
for those who speak so casually
your tongue is but an enemy
a weaponry of jealousy
especially a felony
biting backs until they bleed
void of facts and empathy
eating your dead brothers meat
guaranteed your lips will stress
won’t you let the angels rest?
as they jot down every word
that they heard
verb by verb
ain’t you scurred?
for that day
when the trumpet blows away
and you’re standing back from clay
naked
just the way you came
tell me then what will you say
when the scales begin to weigh
and the Judge calls on your name..

Your honour..
i rest my case
