Lyrics

Zamzam, bound to be sound as the Hajjis go round
In the place that we face they put their heads to the ground
Bound in submission with conviction of steel
It's a feeling of peace, me someday hope I can feel
See now when the month it comes around, it's called the month of Dhul Hijj
People they come from every place on this planet to do it
It is the Hajj, the journey to the house of Allah
Where over two million different people come from near and from far
By car, by boat, and by plane, and by the camel
Some brothers even do it by foot, wearing a sandal
But when they arrive and the city just close
You understand their reasoning why everyone goes
Seeking protection from Allah in every step that they take
Here I am for my creator, they cry Labaik
Labaik Allahumma Labaik
It's a journey for Allah that I wanna make
Labaik Allahumma Labaik
It's a journey for Allah that I wanna make
Labaik Allahumma Labaik
It's a journey for Allah that I wanna make
Labaik Allahumma Labaik
It's a journey for Allah that I wanna make
Now from Medina to Mustali Fahs, sights that you never saw
Best of all the trips, ain't nothing less that I will settle for
Down the ihram where we all put on white
All of the people put on a sheet so that we all look alike
Doing tawaf around the Kaaba, kissing the black stone if you can
But you haven't done nothing till you're done zamzam
Getting on the bus so you can get to Arafat
Picking all the pebbles used to stone the Jamarat
Pacing back and forth between the Safa and the Marwah
Commemorating what was done for Ishmael by Hagar
Sacrifice a lamb and go on ahead and shave your head
People are joining in the feasting after all of the prayers are said
Now nothing beats this trip, not even touch my heart
Because it's Africans and Tunisians from Egypt and all
I'm looking forward to this trip, me someday hope I can make
Here I am for my creator, we cry Labaik
Labaik Allahumma Labaik
It's a journey for Allah that I wanna make
Labaik Allahumma Labaik
It's a journey for Allah that I wanna make
Labaik Allahumma Labaik
It's a journey for Allah that I wanna make
Labaik Allahumma Labaik
It's a journey for Allah that I wanna make
Labaik Allahumma Labaik
Labaik Allah
