Sons of Yusuf - Diving for Pearls

I was talkin' bout making a difference
They said it's all business
Repentance is key
Now we livin' in marvelous times
No question they stressin' n depressin' our seeds
Hakuna matata, no problem
Esma7li adri ennik mu fahem
We walk on the land of the prophets
Might be growing a beard like James Harden
Submitting to God is Islam
I'm defending the peace like Mukhtar was
We diving for pearls, you just diving
Might call shotgun, no ones driving, no
I was born in a war zone
Shit is maniacal, need some botanical natural medical
This is so undeniable
Horses and camels I'm riding with honor
Wrapping my skull up, not wearing no armor
My bodyguard is the creator
When I say Allah, I mean the one God
We came from Adam the same father
The name is Abdul Rahman
Slave of the merciful, most compassionate
If you don't know ask and get answers


You say Amen, we say Ameen
You say hallelujah, we say Hamdulilah
Akhi is my brother, ukhti is my sister
This language has been here forever
Beautiful alphabets
You should learn Arabic
Islam is peace, logic, astronomy
No we don't do politics
That's a paradox
Grab my astrolabe, and connect the dots



I'm with the Ūlama, like it's Ramadan
Subtitles on, camp Arifjan
My name is hard to pronounce
Hakeem Olajuwon
Nouman Ali Khan
Rachmaninoff
The only one in class who didn't eat pork
But the only one in class who went HAM
on the microphone
Substitute teacher used to piss me off
That's not how you say my name for the thousandth time
That's not a bomb, that's a bong
I need a young Paula Abdul for a baby's mom
Knows how to carry a sword like Ibtihaj
She could put on a hijab if she wants
Ya Salam
Back in the day my grandfather was a pirate
Looking for pearls and Rubies and gold and diamonds
Always had faith in myself like my father did
My only leader is Mohammad and All my people followed him
My pride is my everything but sometimes I have to swallow it
Like they were vitamins
We had lungs like aquamen
Diving hundreds of feet deep with no oxygen
We've been repressed for so long, since the Ottomans
Now we coming back so strong I'm taking care of it
Connecting with my ancestors like I'm channeling
The waking of the sleeping giant from the island
After a chain of events, they blame Mohammedans
We men of honor, as soon as we finish making Dua, we diving for pearls you just diving

Bismillah Al Rahman Al Raheem
Finally waking up from the American dream
Once was lost but now we been found
By the prophesied Mahdi from Bedouin kings
We don't fold, we don't bend, we don't break
Ever since birth been at war with the state
So if I don't make it to the pearly gates
then I'd be ringing satan's neck in a firey lake
I was raised on the songs of David
My ancestors came to this land on slave ships
My grandmother did a life bid on grave shift
And we was just trying not to get our heads split
Ain't no justice, ain't no bygones
Crooked police will get fired on
Turn that court house to no fly zone
Turn that Precinct to a war zone
Mayday mayday
Ricky Bobby
This ain't maybe, this is probably
This ain't hate speech, this the Bible
Welcome to America, it's survival
You can get a false charge or hit the lotto
You might as well just twist the throttle
Eye for an eye like Hammurabi
Ten thousand warriors crowd the lobby
If it's me or either you, then it ain't me so, it's wasabi
Bow with those who bow
with true believers
Render to Caesar what is Caesar's
Kodak says you don't believe in Jesus
Leave em no choice but give it to you like Yeezus
Don't ever fix your lips like collagen
And say something that I'm gon end up abolishing
