Boonaa Mohammed - Signs lyrics

Let me take a moment to show some kindness
To the folks that thought blindness was a
Disease that effected the eyes alone
I promise I won't judge you
I barely know how to love you
And like fools we preach rules
But we don't even follow our own

Everybody needs comfort
Some people find it in this some
People find it in that
And some people just don't find it at all

But this world is full of signs
From the moon to the stars in the sky
From the bees and the bugs
Like a seed in your blood
Like a fiend to a drug
Makes you need to look up
And questions what's up
Why you deal with this stuff?
When your spirit's are crushed and
You trek through the rough
But like thunder it struck
Said "Be" and it was

All the signs that were sent
They finally make sense
You feel the torment, so you need to repent
When your heart is cement
It's hard as a brick
Cause your soul is worth more
Than the dollars and cents
All the money in the world
Couldn't buy you happiness
Cause "verily, it is in
The remembrance of Allah
That hearts do find rest"

And do not get it confused
I'm not a scholar or a preacher
I'm just a regular dude
Who makes mistakes too
But we are reflections true
So I can't talk about me
Without talking about you

And who knew?
We would end up in a place so confused
Where little boys wanna be like little girls
And little girls just wanna be abused
Where they terrorize the truth
Mentally arrest the youth
Even though there is no law but Allah's
And momma didn't raise no fool

And who knew?
That expecting the world to treat you fairly
Because you think you're a good person
Would be a little like expecting a bull not
To attack you because you're a vegetarian
You can't begin to learn what
You think you already know
In man's own ignorance we forgot that
Women once watched us grow
And before that you were a tiny
Ball of flesh without any bones
And before that you were just unknown
And now look behold
You have the arrogance to assume that you
Just made it on your own?
But what were you but a chewed piece of clot
Before you grew
And who knew you would trace your
Ancestries back to a zoo?
You must have really come from apes
With your monkey point of views
Even the devil believes in God
So what does that make you?

And it's true
Sometimes I feel like Noah preaching
To a packed empty room
Nobody wanna listen until we start
Rolling out two by two
I'm a big fan of Abraham
Never break up from Jacob
Joseph had the kind of beauty that
You couldn't find in makeup
Moses was to Pharaoh what
Stones are to arrows
And David to Goliath was truth is to silence
Following Solomon, I'd get down too
Contrary to popular belief
Jesus is my homeboy too
So peace be upon the whole crew who
Came to teach what we never knew
Even though few caught the groove
They never turned blue
Never confused what was true even
If it was a taboo
Never came for fame or praise but
To praise who they prayed to

And who knew?
That an unlettered man from the
Middle of the desert
Would change the whole world
From darkness into heaven
You may have every title
Every big shot degree
But, you still can't explain: Alif-Lam-Meem

And who knew? There would be so many views
And ways to explain that he's closer to you
Than your jugular vein
So if you complain that God must be cruel
Can you give Allah, all that he gives to you?
From the breath that you breathe
To the trees that you feed
From the eyes that you see
To the seed that you eat
If I cut you, you bleed
Then you heal magically
We're the illest machines
Manufactured for means
The concept's extreme but this
World is a dream
It's not what it seems filled
With lies and deceit
The proof is serene so wake up
Smell the deen
Praises be to He, His Oneness, Supreme
Totally unique, in no need of sleep
Not like you or me, his greatness complete
No partners, no mates, no fathers, no sons
No discount 3 in 1, just Allah Azza wa Jal
Even the birds sing his name
The Lord of all the worlds
Glory be to He and to Allah is our return
