Muslim Belal, Ilyas Mao - Survival of the Fitnah lyrics
[Muslim Belal, Ilyas Mao - Survival of the Fitnah lyrics]
Yo, this is Pray Hard flow
Worn it down for too many years ilyas Mao
Back the real mB, what a life
They're scared of death
They're scared of life they're shook
They're scared of the day their
Soul might get took
I'm taking it back to South
London with the books
Taking it back to the day shahadah got took
I walked in this song with a pure heart
Should've seen the love they were
Showing me in the start lining up to hug me
Kissing me on both cheeks i was overwhelmed
I'm a young boy from the streets
I nearly didn't join
I thought I had too many sins
Said Allah's Merciful and still
Welcomеd me in now they talk loads
They wouldn't'vе lasted in the gun days
I never let my hand raise
To a man that prays, that's faith
I wrote a book and I made a film
And the school and the mosque got built
Yeah we was really out there in the field
They're just in the comments
Their life don't make no sense
2015, went and done Hajj
When I was a young boy
I didn't see this in my plans
I spent my childhood sitting on the steps
With an Afro
Bout two pound and some Nike creps
Left so much behind
They wouldn't even get it
Motorola flip phone, with no credit
Allah really changed my life up differently
They think I'm fazed by the
Cameras and the TV
Mad, I pour my heart out on a CD
Like A Soldier, up and down the country
That's good end when you look
At how we started off
Money in the shoe box, guns in the mums loft
1 on 1, I gave them Streets to Islam
Before they knew about the streets
Have you ever talked about Islam?
Are you dumb?
They're scared of death
They're scared of life they're shook
They're scared of the day their
Soul might get took
I'm taking it back to South
London with the books
Taking it back to the day shahadah got took
Yo, look how this begun
Started with the rising of the Sun
Started with one pound between two kids
Split's, one patty and one coke or bread
This is Lambeth, what a life
It's a game of opinions
Everybody thinks they're right
Don't expect you to think like me
My life ain't like yours
I had to jump the fence
They went through the doors
He done wrong, so they attacked him not me
I joined this faith to be involved in no beef
I thought this belief was all about peace
These guys argue more than we
Used to in the streets
Going up the stairs backwards
So much biting that my back hurts
Backbiters like mosquitos
You ain't responsible for wherever he goes
He should know better though
Due to what he knows
They wasn't around when we wearing Moschino
Ghetto fever, kids can't tell probably old
Had the Valentino, before the Valentinos
All summer up in Kennington
And Black Prince Road
Cousin Lee boy and Dino
Before the Tesco it was Bingo
Before Rockie it was Rambo
Now these man out here
Are really playing Rambo it's really real
From Gypsy Hill to mics filled
Bang bang, anywhere gang
Looking like the Talleyban
It was SMS, OC and PDC
Had the horsies out in Egypt, on the DVD
Back in '03, the masjid wasn't lonely
We was about 100 brothers deep
Connected at the heart, based on tawhid
And I'm talking brothers from the street
We didn't make YouTube
But we made the real news
Made history, turned it into my story
Now they're just living for the glory
Living for the power, living for the belly
Boys in the hood, menace to society
Tryna get paid in full, to help the mummy
I didn't wanna be a man on fire
Had to take the message
Regardless of my desire
I had to take this deen over the dunya
Took Abu Sumaya as a kunya
I done over a thousand events
And I boarded over a hundred flights
I made over 25 films
Gave all those lost teens advice
Some say the old way wasn't working
And some say the new way wasn't right
I say the problem's
Everybody's saying something
But ain't facing the realities of life
I'm talking jail cells and suicide
Mental health, child abuse and big knives
You can stay living in the box
I'm living in the real world
Until my heart stops
They're scared of death
They're scared of life they're shook
They're scared of the day their
Soul might get took
I'm taking it back to South
London with the books
Taking it back to the day shahadah got took
They're scared of death
They're scared of life they're shook
They're scared of the day
Their soul might get
Worn it down for too many years ilyas Mao
Back the real mB, what a life
They're scared of death
They're scared of life they're shook
They're scared of the day their
Soul might get took
I'm taking it back to South

Taking it back to the day shahadah got took
