Lyrics

Hey, yeah, uh, D-Squad till we meet God. Yeah, yeah, yeah, D-Squad till we meet God. D-Squad till we meet God. D-Squad till we meet God. Lebanese, cedar, south side where my G's are. Man, we praise God, we don't fear y'all. Twitter chefs wanna punk off, but in real life they a pierce off. Al-musika hiya haram, that's your opinion, not Quran. Holy music is freaking historical, but desire is so metaphorical. These brothers are dying from marriage, they gotta stop watching hijabi tutorials. What's up, independent brothers? Takes one, three on the come up. Hair braided, sass faded, haza. Turn up the bass, this ain't no nasheed. Gotta do the da'wah but not spit it on a beat. Should've would've could've took a deal at 23, but I'd rather stay broke and true to the dean. I be getting high off absolute taqwa, y'all get high off absolute baqwa. Making liquor on the beat, pray Mufti Menk don't drop us. Scholars know that we influential, giving da'wah on instrumentals. The era changed the way you raise your kids, in 2018 gotta be differential. Let me break it down like Fortnite, kids play phone game Fortnite. When the advertisement gon' pop up, it look like a cartoon park site. Woah, why the world so negative? Social media enslavement, sexual excessiveness, people growing weird fetishes. Motivating marriages, what a generation. If you thought about the future of the kids, then the fam won't ever be separated. D-Squad still at me, God, yeah. Standing, not standing, I fall off, yeah. But I come back and I come strong, yeah. I won't give up till my soul gone, yeah. D-Squad still at me, God, it's a platform for the people that done fell off. You wanna come back, we can help y'all. Can't understand why they bothered. Our biggest fans so they sons and they daughters. These mans don't spam with the genre, so they planning and planning to stop us. Like we're the ones causing the conflict, because of us the religion is tarnished. But it's not that music is haram, they just don't like African-American culture. They don't want the trap music, no. They don't want the black music, no. If I was an Arab singer from the Middle East, I'd be allowed to do this, yeah. And y'all acting like we were the first ones to put Islamic to this. Man, it's been like over 15 years, we got the Maharzans and all the Sami Yusuf's, and y'all complaining now? Just cease it, stop faking. Low key, I find it so damn racist. They don't wanna see Islam with hip-hop, or any other genre, they wanna say ish. They don't wanna see the young Muslims get lit, or a black brother with influence. I heard that the kids wanna look like me, when the sheikhs hear that, it just makes them sick. Every day we pray for Burma, Syria, or Palestine. But Stephen Clark was a Muslim too, but we don't really care when black people die. It's like the Muslims wanna pick and choose, pick and choose when it's time to cry. Standing up for all my black brothers who are affected by the police genocide, and y'all stay inside. The community is disunited, and it seems like we're going nowhere. You say the Ummah is one body, but we cry about a single toenail, goddamn. These squads till we meet God. They just mad we built a platform, and we ain't listening to no opinions. It's for the people we gon' rap for them like, ay. Man, we all getting tired, getting judged all the time. Say we use Islam for fame, that's a lie, that's a lie. Get the truth for the youth who are far away from God. They be calling it haram, get a life, get a job. Is that fake?
