[Yasiin Bey, K’naan, Matt Cappy - Prayer Song lyrics]
This morning when I woke up
I walked into a nightmare
And found myself arrested
Before I had my breakfast
I saw they murdered justice
And told me to accept it
Went out to see my neighbors
And saw some demonstrators
And violent liberators
The fire had been raging
Where you and I were waiting
Entirely forsaken
Ahmed Nabi Muhammad, Ya Shafi'ul Qiyamah
Alay Salaam Alaika
Ahmed Nabi Muhammad, Ya Shafi'ul Qiyamah
Alay Salaam Alaika
The empty tank is ringing
The rig it shakes it's singing
The hollow chief is limping
Around me there's disorder
Intoxicating odor
There's no way to the border
And just who is the martyr?
Is it the fire starter?
Is it the Orphaned daughter?
Will those laugh when they dreaming
And dance away the demon
But don’t you miss the meaning
Matt Cappy Plays
So like I came to the door i said it before
I never let the Mic magnetize me no more
I walked into a nightmare
And found myself arrested
Before I had my breakfast
I saw they murdered justice
And told me to accept it
Went out to see my neighbors
And saw some demonstrators
And violent liberators
The fire had been raging
Where you and I were waiting
Entirely forsaken
Ahmed Nabi Muhammad, Ya Shafi'ul Qiyamah
Alay Salaam Alaika
Ahmed Nabi Muhammad, Ya Shafi'ul Qiyamah
Alay Salaam Alaika
The empty tank is ringing
The rig it shakes it's singing
The hollow chief is limping
Around me there's disorder
Intoxicating odor
There's no way to the border
And just who is the martyr?
Is it the fire starter?
Is it the Orphaned daughter?
Will those laugh when they dreaming
And dance away the demon
But don’t you miss the meaning

So like I came to the door i said it before
I never let the Mic magnetize me no more
