Boonaa Mohammed - War On Error lyrics

What if I told you there were soldiers
Outside who despised who you and I
Ready to take us dead or alive
With guns pointed at your pride
And you had the option to just lie
And denounce what you hold inside
Would you go run and hide, or
Would you get ready to die
See the problem with you and I
Is we would say anything to stay alive
Multiplied by the drive that
We have to survive
Most would rather compromise
Than be chastised
So we don't even try, but I dare to ask why
Homeland sеcurity
Is only trying to secure me
In thеse tiny little rooms
Where I could barely breathe
Maybe it's the way that I'm dressed
In the land of the free no khamis


I should have just wore jeans and a T
And I know it's hard to believe
But I aint a refugee
Actually, I was born in a
Hospital right down the street
So tell me what's the beef is
It the beard or attire?
Or is it my last name you
Could just call me Michael
Are you comfortable
Am I moderate enough for your liking
I don't wanna any trouble, I'll be good
Man I promise i'm honest
Only liars need to preach to a choir
Holding onto this deen is
Like holding onto fire, but, I still smile
Aint sure if this is still worth your while
You say you wanna believe than you
Will be put on trial
Tested, but blessed are those who
Remain steadfast and pray
Because what are we but slaves
Just looking for a raise
Anyways, everyday's another chance
At being saved cause even a broken clock is
Right two times a day
But, I'd be lying if I didn't say
We look like lions without manes
Trying to impress these creatures who just
Came from mud and clay
Why don't you beautify your grave, Iqra
Proclaim who will testify for you when
Your Lord calls your name?
Work for your spot in the shade on the
Day when their will only be his shade
The things you love today
They will all fade away
Remember the story of the cave
Even though they were afraid
The youth knew the truth so
They still remained brave
The same goes today
Cause even rain goes away
And after the clouds the sun
Comes out to play so expect brighter days
And declare all praise
To the one with no son, in need of no aid
Isn't it strange how the strangers
Are starting to feel strange?
I guess sometimes Guantanamo bay is just
The price you gotta pay
Allah does not place a burden on a
Soul more than it can handle
And the bruises from sujood will light
Your way just like a candle
And we follow the example of
The best of examples
I don't stand for flags and
Or bow to your bourgeois
I pledge allegiance to La elhalla il allah
Say it now, Say it loud
Be proud of your Muslim names
Uthman, Umar, Ali, Khadija, Aisha, Summayah
If only you knew the
Sacrifice these people made
So tell airport security
I'm sorry if we all look the same
But there's a reason why Muhammed is
The world's most popular name
And you can call us funny names
And draw cartoons in his name
But there will come a day when your Lord
Will decide who goes and who stays
So go ahead and tease
After hardship comes ease
And gardens with rivers that flow underneath
This poem is for every hijabie who
Got made fun of in school
Or the brothers too scared to rock a beard
Cause facial hair isn't cool
If Allah didn't love you
Then he wouldn't test you
So prepare for victory
Coming to a soul near you
