Faith2Faith

[Verse 1: Muhammad Abu Elijah]
Yo, look
Yo faith, or should I call you imaan
I speak a little Arabic now, so I guess I can
You coming and going, that ain't part of the plan
When I can't even cross the road, without you holding my hand
I need faith, strong in the mind of a believer
But you ain't perfect and I ain't either
Yo faith, where you going, please don't act like a diva
I know you like to fluctuate, but I still think you're a keeper
So when you're strong, I'm in the Masjid for Fajr
But when you fall for weak, I get sadder and sadder
Feel like Egypt made it easier, cuz London's a mazza
Over there, we're in thе mosque for even Dhuhr and 'Asr
But listеn faith, have you heard me read?
I learnt a bunch of new suras, I even learnt tajweed
Double room with 'Abdullah, and we're discussing Tawheed
Me, Yonus and Jaber, AK and 'Abdul'aziz
See what's faith? Faith is when you know it in your heart
When you say it with your tongue, but you show it with your Akhlaq
Faith is when you look over your shoulders in Salah
And when you do it privately because you know it's for Allah
Yo faith, why would you let me leave?
This Dunya cut me deep, you just let me bleed
How many Du'as that I forget to read?
I try to pass the blame but it's left with me
I was a MC on the MP3
I felt empty but they envied me
I seek refuge like a refugee
A'udhu billahi min ash-shaytaan-ir-rajeem
I asked Allah to protect me from sins
Next minute I was chilling with Ustadh Yasin
I asked Allah to correct my Niyyah
Next minute I was reasoning with Abu Taymiyyah
Yo faith, I won't leave you again
I know I promised before, but that was way back then
Yo faith, I couldn't do it without you
I gotta practice what I preach when I teach 'em about you
Shouldn't forget a portion of the Dunya
But what's worse than forgetting your purpose
What's worse than living a life that's all worthless
Chasing your tail, running in circles
A clown in a circus, proud on the surface
Righteous at my bestest, wild at my worstest
Faith coming back to me, I pray Allah preserves this
Me and my Qur'an, I sit and ponder over verses

[Verse 2: Muslim Belal]
Walk with faith, live with faith
Die with faith, yo
From that we came, to that we shall return
We see death everyday, but it's like we don't wanna learn
We're living like we don't die, dying like we've never lived
Shaytan wanna answer these kids
Now if faith could talk back, what'd you think it would say?
I'm glad to have you here, so many slipped away
See you forgot about me when things were going your way
Then you tried to turn back on your broken days
When your money was up it's like you didn't wanna know
Then you made your return when you was feeling all alone
I used to watch you leave the house never leaving your phone
But you'd happily step out leaving faith at home
Walking them streets, not even a thought or a Du'a
I just hope you remember me, and you remember who you are
You even shortened your name, why they calling you Mo?
How was your exit so fast, and your return so slow?
Put down the phone bro, they don't mean you no good
I'm tryna bring you to jannah, they're tryna bring you to the hood
I know you got it in you, you gotta work harder
You're still walking round your block
You should be walking round the Ka'bah
Takbir Allahu Akbar, towards the black stone
Now keep your beard and shave your dome
It's been a few years, we haven't conversated
A brother invited you to a talk, I was glad you made it
It was good to chill again after all that time
Now before every decision, I see I'm back on your mind
Welcome home, you seem happy again
Doing better things with your time
Surround yourself with better friends
We lost you for a while, it happens to the best of men
But you're here now, I hope we don't lose you again
Please stop taking risks, it ain't somethin' to play with
Imagine we were still apart on the day that your grave's digged
Now if faith could talk back, what'd you think it would say?
I've missed you bro them years that you went astray
So many plan to do better, then they die before their plan's made
Don't be one of them that wants to change when it's too late
I know you're dealing with some trauma and pain
And all those sins you committed had you feeling ashamed
But this is faith, and I'm just here to say
Allah's merciful, and still love you the same
It's been hell, living in this dunya
We don't want another hell in the hereafter
We got weaknesses, we got desires
We got faith and that's protection from the fire, we got this
