Boonaa Mohammed - Priorities lyrics
[Boonaa Mohammed - Priorities lyrics]
Ya Allah if you should take me in my
Salat please, take me as a believer
I pray the angel of death
Appears half as beautiful
As half the beauty created by my creator
Take me yesterday if it means
I'll get there sooner
The warm wet water still
Dripping from my wudu
I beat the sun this morning in
Order to stand before you
But no need to thank me
Your praise is long overdue
All I ask is that my
Intentions be clear and true
The Ka'bah in line with my nose
Hell fire under my toes, if this it, please
Make these last prayers legit
For I am nothing but a servant
Please, master give me guidance
Bring me closer to your deen
Far away from shaytain
Only five times a day
I wish I could pray infinity
For all that you have given me for
All that you have taken away
There is no excuse for me to not want
To stand up and say "Allahu Akbar"
I state the obvious, nervous
Body in perfect formation
As I stand before my Lord
Trying to prove my dedication
Walking the thin line between hope and fear
Words coming out crystal clear as
Though judgment was here
The humility combats the lies I
Told in my youth
In my sujood is when I am closest to truth
A vessel of submission
His recognition is my quest
Hands folded, both palms crossed
Facing my chest
Gaze is lowered, on the spot from
Which my head will rise
Wet warm water still covers my eyes
I cherish this dunya, like
I cherish sunny weather
Wonderful at times, but still
Not meant forever
So Ya Allah, if you take me in my salat
Please have my last words be
The last words of Al-Fatiha
Right before La ilaha illa Allah
Ashden Muhammadur Rasul Allah
For you my God, I will
Hold and cherish this faith
For this is a test, and we always do
Worst in the subjects that we hate
So I am still amazed that you have
Given me the strength to praise
For a long time I never prayed
Never said your name for days
I am still ashamed of what
My heart once contained
But still you sent me
Blessings again and again
Your mercy uses words that I
Can simply not explain
The honour that I feel
The love that I maintain
Forehead and nose, hands, knees and toes
All pressed before the Lord, before I rose
I choose to make a little prayer of my own
Ya please, Allah forgive me for my sins
As though they were not my own
Help me to pray as though I
Were saying my final goodbyes
My bouncing finger lets me
Know I'm still alive, alhumdulliah
Wallahi, i swear to God, I do not
Feel comfortable swearing to God
Because I'm not sure if my faulty
Words will even do him justice
So now everyday I send peace
And blessings upon his prophet
Empty my conscious like banks
Empty my pockets
Only this interest is in my best interest
Were my prayers answered
Only One knows best?
I'll try again soon, Insha'Allah
The rest is in the hands
Of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
Salat please, take me as a believer
I pray the angel of death
Appears half as beautiful
As half the beauty created by my creator
Take me yesterday if it means
I'll get there sooner
The warm wet water still
Dripping from my wudu

Order to stand before you
But no need to thank me

Hell fire under my toes, if this it, please
