Lyrics
Yay, storytime with Zayn Bika. Now these are stories, they tell no lies, lessons that stand through the test of time, they tell us of a path that remains so true. Before a wolf or a cow or a monkey gets you. And the first one's about a monkey. There once was a wicked guy, sold people lots of lies, showed something old, could it have been his though? No, that's a no-no, to others it's a low blow, be fair and be just is the only way to go. But then Allah sent him a monkey that he loved more than life itself. What he didn't know, wherever he would go, the monkey purified his wealth. Unbeknownst to him, he thought he was free of his lies and his cheating, but this could not be. His little friend cleansed every little scent and 50% of his wealth, the monkey threw into the sea. So it may be later, it may be soon, but someday there's a monkey gonna come for you. Allah hates cheating, Allah hates lies, so give what's due and receive what's right. Ooh, what about the cow? Once was a farmer who brought lots of drama, working his animals harder and harder, thought there was nothing but low-life creatures, vowed to his bidding and to build his riches. He had a cow that he'd overload, and on top of that, on top of the cow he rode. So one day to his enormous surprise, the cow spoke right before his eyes. He said, old man, the show cow where I was not created for this burden I bear. You cannot abuse me, no longer you see, for our creator has allowed me to speak. So be kind to both animals and human beings. So it may be later, it may be soon, but someday there's a cow gonna talk to you. Allah made animals, Allah made men, to all living creatures be kind and fair. Ooh, I know, tell us about the wolf. There once was a shepherd who loved his sheep, he cared day and night, even deprived of his sleep. Any little sound, any little bleat, bleat, off he ran real fast just to save his sheep. Then one day there came the big bad wolf, sneaking and creeping for a closer look. Then suddenly when he grabbed one lamb and tried to run away to his faraway land, but little did he know, the shepherd wasn't slow, chasing and chasing till the wolf let go. But then the wolf spoke, he said, oh, beware, someday you'll be gone, I'll be coming back here. Between them and me, there'll be no one to stand and the wolf will be the shepherd of the land. So it may be later, it may be soon, but someday there's a wolf gonna try to take you. Be strong in faith and to your shepherd be true. Allah keep us safe when the wolf breaks through. So these are stories, they tell no lies, lessons that stand through the test of time. They tell us of a path that remains so true before a wolf or a cow or a monkey gets you. Yay! VB Kids!
