Lyrics
Keep smiling while they whining on us. Don't give nobody control over your good moments. Stand your ground when they pull up on us. Shoot us down, well that's a bonus. We ain't afraid of death. It's a graduation from the last level left. Hate crime produced by diluted great minds. Change take time, pain worth crying. But never strong enough to break your spirits inside. So pay it no mind, stay focused like you're Moses. Walking tall, either in your boots or your loafers. Stop! Stop! Yeah. Muslims invented the numbers on your clock. And the numbers on your watch. All the zeros you count before the dot. Keep smiling while they whining on us. El Zahrawi, enhanced surgery. Fatima made the first university. The habesha's invented coffee. The media's so wishy-washy. There's a lot of fake news. Where would the world be without Muhammad's treaties? Don't believe everything you see on TV. Muslims are a great part of history. And always will be. I was trying to meet chemistry. Numbers like one, two, three. Music in the ninth century. Melodies like your Amy. Your nest was a flyer. We made parachutes and hang gliders. We made the maps and the glass and the cameras. Earth wouldn't be the same here without us. Time to set the record straight. For them, for you, for me, for everybody. Time to set the record straight. For them, for you, for me, for everybody. You can go and Google it. You can go and Google it. Yeah. Yeah. Voice in the drum. Yeah. Go do your research. Ha ha ha ha.
