Lyrics

I am the deen you need, I am the deen you love, please come back to me, I am the deen you know. I am the deen you need, I am the deen you love, please come back to me.
Play ball, man! Don't let him pay attention to me, because I'm talking trash. You ready? Let's go. Oh, oh, oh! Oh! Oh, look at that! Alright, I'm gonna end this. I'm gonna do this right here, right here, right here. Oh, look at that! You alright? Yo, what's up with that, man? It's all good, calm down. What's up with that, man? Dude, stop hitting me. Don't push me, man. Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go. No, no, no, sit down, sit down.
Oh yeah, let's practice. Let's practice.
My Lord, pray and send peace always and forever upon your beloved, the best of all creation.
My Lord, pray and send peace always and forever upon your beloved, the best of all creation.
What about the time he stepped from his house and there was trash at the door? Calmly he gathered the trash that was scattered, but every day there was more.
One day he was missing, so he went to visit the neighbor he thought was ill. The neighbor amazed at the kindness displayed despite all the trash he would spill.
What about the time he came to a town in hopes of spreading his word? The leader sent the children to chase and to stone him till he's weeding and hurt.
But he was given a choice, this town be destroyed. But our prophet refused, he said, I hope all the children will one day be given this guidance, the life they will choose.
He was a mercy, a mercy to all of mankind. He was a mercy, a mercy to all of mankind.
He was a mercy, a mercy to all of mankind. He was a mercy, a mercy to all of mankind.
Did you hear about the time he saw a bird in distress? Her young ones were taken away. He ordered the man to return all of them and taught not to treat them this way.
What about the time he was given some lamb by this lady one time? As he started to weep, he was warned that the meat the lady put poison inside.
When they brought her to him, he asked her the truth, she admitted to what she had done. But despite her behavior, the prophet forgave her. His kindness would shine like the sun.
So many stories, his justice, his mercy, his grace, we all can see. At the conquest of Mecca, the folks who had fought and he said, you all be free.
He was a mercy, a mercy to all of mankind. He was a mercy, a mercy to all of mankind.
He was a mercy, a mercy to all of mankind. He was a mercy, a mercy to all of mankind.
Lately people saying stuff about my prophet, they see our numbers rising so they making my target. Agitate the Muslims, get money in their pocket. We just want to spread the truth and make sure people got it. Like how he treated neighbors with all the love and care. Examples that he gave us to be honest and fair. How to be forgiving, respecting every faith, giving rights to the women at war, how to behave.
The women and the children and every innocent should be protected no matter how oppressed we get. So we know they're saying stuff about the prophet that ain't true. They did that at the prophet's time so this ain't nothing new. Did he worry what the people said after he passed? Or was he more concerned about us doing what he asked? Do our deeds tell the story of the man he was? A mercy to mankind to show the world his love.
He was a mercy, a mercy to all of mankind. He was a mercy, a mercy to all of mankind. He was a mercy, a mercy to all of mankind. He was a mercy, a mercy to all of mankind.
He was a mercy, a mercy to all of mankind. He was a mercy, a mercy to all of mankind. He was a mercy, a mercy to all of mankind. He was a mercy, a mercy to all of mankind.
My Lord, send peace and blessings always and forever upon your beloved, the best of all creation.
He was a mercy, a mercy to all of mankind. He was a mercy, a mercy to all of mankind. He was a mercy, a mercy to all of mankind. He was a mercy, a mercy to all of mankind.
He was a mercy, a mercy to all of mankind. He was a mercy, a mercy to all of mankind. He was a mercy, a mercy to all of mankind. He was a mercy, a mercy to all of mankind.
