Standing There

[Chorus] (x2)
Might see me standing there, focused while I'm standing there
Might hear a takbeer, eyes filled up with tears
One blink will let out all of the pain I held in for those years
Might see me crouch down, muttering a few sounds
Forehead on the ground, might leave a mark
Imma leave a mark in this dunya, cuz I pray hard

[Verse 1]
And they don't offer prayer
The adhan's already gone, they're still sitting there
Making me feel shy to rise to my feet
Making me feel shy to open my mouth and speak
Will someone make the first move?
Will someone call the iqaama, imma make my wudhu
You see, your prayer's always good for you
Imma find a quiet room and do this on-time curfew
I use my scarf as a prayer mat, I already start I hope you hear that
And come and join me in prayer
Fatihah followed by Al-Qariah
Allah, I hope it reaches their ears
Send peace to the right, send peace to the left
Return to the room, they're still sitting in the same seat as when I left
Allah, I hope they change their heart before they meet up with death

[Chorus] x2
Might see me standing there, focused while I'm standing there
Might hear a takbeer, eyes filled up with tears
One blink will let out all of the pain I held in for those years
Might see me crouch down, muttering a few sounds
Forehead on the ground, might leave a mark
Imma leave a mark in this dunya, cuz I pray hard

[Verse 2]
And I'm with Mustafa, Abdul Aziz, Abdullah
Brothers on the streets, we live life on the border
From banging out wasting time on the corner
To hanging out in the masjid, united, one order
They say Belal's getting taller, I've put on a bit of weight
I'm showing off my manhood by this beard on my face
If you see scared on my face
It must have been the day that they took my soul away
Sometimes I run away with my thoughts
I think about those less fortunate and those who got caught
Driving all alone in a sport
Mercedes Compressor, think it's time we trade it all in
I used to say one day I'd drive a Porsche
Now I pray one day I'll live in the East with the poor
Because less equals more
And I don't fear poverty
I'm ready for anything that my Lord puts in front of me
And they can hold a gun to me, ain't taking back my words
I never been a liar, I've been straight since birth
And this deen made it worth
So after 19 years I was given all the a's to the q's in my head
You'll lose if you're dead, without saying those words
To me, description of the fire seems worse
Than the life on this earth
To Him alone, we serve
And after we die we're rewarded for the work
And we can fly with the birds, skin colour green
I'm confident to say I'm with the strongest team
I'm in the True Religion, I ain't talking bout jeans
What God plans for me beats all of my dreams

[Chorus]
Might see me standing there, focused while I'm standing there
Might hear a takbeer, eyes filled up with tears
One blink will let out all of the pain I held in for those years
Might see me crouch down, muttering a few sounds
Forehead on the ground, might leave a mark
Imma leave a mark in this dunya, cuz I pray hard
