Lyrics
Angry men, holding guns with a few camels Terrorist pumping fists with their rude banners You get anxiety, from symbols of our piety Cause they don’t show us Muslims who contribute to society How come they don’t show us doing positive things We get abused and harassed so many problems this brings Did this to black's in the 60’s, Japanese in the 40’s Were the same category how their messing with our stories Flashing our pictures over negative words People are begging to learn but you just making it worse But now were gonna watch you, your biases that pop through And go against your sponsors advertisers if we got to Wake up, its our right to defend Gotta fight with the pen if our plights gonna end Chorus You wanna be at the top, Inshallah Are we the cream of the crop, Inshallah You gonna rock till we drop, Inshallah Cause believers never stop, Mashallah Are we the people with the plan, Inshallah Are we doing all we can, Inshallah Putting knowledge in the land, Inshalalh With the power of the pen, Mashallah Yes, Yes, Yes Ya’ll. You know it time to listen very close ‘Ain't nothing changed but the criminal perception of the law Like who’s a criminal and whats a crime I’m trying to define how the television washes your mind Conspiracies against me and still How can this be when obviously it’s the media Come on, you need examples, for instance some cases You don’t know religion and you don’t know about the races But check it, watch what they do to your mind kid Its all connected you better not be blind kid Chorus We all know the media ain't doing us right So everyday we write, that is the way we fight We all know the media ain't doing us right It’s known that governments will stereotype They profile us by day, lock us up in the night It’s known that governments will stereotype But we still invite them to the deen that's right They put the word on the street That Muslims got beef, say we in the middle east Plotting with the sheikhs Thinking that they right when we know they not And Say we coming up with the next terrorist plot And with these petty lies, now we’re not concerned That’s about the time we bring on that mic burn And smash it, against all of they tactics They let us have it, but you know we coming back kid We got students copin’ deen plus a law degree So they can run these snakes straight out judiciaries Future leaders burning up the quills Torching all the lies so the people know the real We ain't the type of rhymers saying shoot to kill We saying stop the lies and show them whats real We ain't the type of rhymers saying bust the steel We saying stop the blood, and let the ink spill
