Put your money up
Buy abandoned Newark buildings
Turn it to a private school for under priv’ledged children
Put your dollars in a pot
Buy a vacant lot
And grow a garden make urban ghettoes a staple crop
Make the dope block where hustlers and pimps meet
Bazaar where the family ends meet
Instead of block parties with stages for djays
put a grand scale on the stage
Pray…Then weigh
Make lady liberty stand up for her rep
And put justice and equality over debt
Push intellectual property in step with the market of the ghetto that you target then we’re set
I guess …That’s all wishful thinking
Flip the world round the bottom to the top like sinking
But we’re all bound
For death and dirt my soul’s not for hire
Take time not wasting my mind with these liars
They call me to the fire
Through all of my desires
I remember the Wrath
And then I just retire
You could have all I gasp at
And ask how much?
Model citizens are priceless
Especially when righteous
And so are … Witnesses
Picture this
Even in the dark abyss
There will always be witnesses
Can’t turn out the lights on the light giver
When He feel it’s right He get right witcha
What’ll hit will never miss ya
To aim higher

Poetic Reflection

Poems written like stones thrown at the sinner
Pelted rocks swoon like hail falling in winter
Hard to walk the road with the party on the side
Like Signs to veer off where goodness don’t coincide
Rather rest under a tree than a motel
All the Amenities accompany fools to hell
May God forgive me for tiring on the path
I got enough to stretch out a breath before I pass
InshaAllah

Taper it to your pen, Post it on the screen
At all times God is aware of all things
Careful with each stroke
Caution!
What the eyes should foresee when they read or turn on the t.v
The whispers one whispers that one’s self denies
Is very well known for there’s no place to hide
The All Seeing
Gives and takes sight from the eyes
Truth that sheds light upon the darkest of lies
No power or strength in creation can intimidate
From God all power and authority originates
And remains with…Doesn’t decrease
Ever Living a.k.a. Never will cease
The Well Acquainted, The All Knowing, He heard it first
Encompassing everything including the heavens and earth
The Greatest Witness able to do whatever He wills
Trustworthy Lord whose promise will be fulfilled
So with this free will…Mark the time you kill
for when time is up
Our deeds will be revealed
Such a Walk To Remember – Submitted for Lyrical Art Sahaba Edition

Such a walk to remember
The footsteps into Jannah
Saved from being enslaved by a man in Jahannam
Allah kulli shay in Qadir
Even under the weight of those pebbles
He was certain God could hear
Was certain that He intervened
As He screamed aHad
Enemies of Allah know what I mean
Allah is One and from that One we all begun
Chose an Abyssinian slave to call muslims to pray
The Polythiests beat him and tortured him for a time
But never did he flee from the faith safe in Islam
Dragged by the noose on his neck through Makkan streets
Stones pressed onto his chest in the desert heat
And all of that allotted to Lat and Uzza’s defeat
As Bilal uttered aHad and freed by Abu Bakr Siddiq
Defended by the Rasool
If you dare use the color of his skin to be rude
What state is your faith in?
And love you all the same
From revenge of that matter he refrained
And only to Allah and His Messenger he complained
In hopes for reward from His Lord
After each Wudu
With that Tuhur he prays as much as Allah would want him to.
Muhajirun, Mujahidun, Muminun
InshaAllah,
Calling the Adhan on the roof of Masjidal Haram
Collecting Sadaqah with the Prophet (S.A.W)
Slayer of Umaiyah bin Khalaf but fighting in the Cause of Allah was the topic
From my brother Bilal I learned no worries at all
In success Alhamdulillah and if not then Allahu Akbar
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar
Black Star before Mos Def and Kweli
A chief manumitted by Abu Bakr Siddiq
Mua’dthin in the night
So you continue eat
During Ramadan Suhur’s but observe the words he speaks
Dedicated to Allah, may he sins be forgiven
Since his liberation enslavement to Allah his mission
After the Death the Prophet (S.A.W.) his desire was Jihad
Life, Death, Sacrifice all fisibilillah
InshaAllah,
Laid in a grave in Damascus
May Allah make it spacious and bless Bilal the Mua’adhin
Understanding Repentance

Tags: Allah, Forgiveness, God, Islam, Mercy, Ramadan, Repentance
The Cheese stands alone… a whistle in the wind
Off into space just to find himself again
Eyelids droop down, shoulders droop lower
In the midst of the mind is a war-torn soldier
Has the line been crossed? Has a side been chosen?
Yes I choose God privately and in the open
The spinal taps are straightened, a broken heart beats again
Striving to success with a zeal to beat defeat again
Till the end… to die on the Truth
Leaving off the dangers set to hang me by a noose
Rearranging all priorities, fulfilling the commands set by God
The capacity for patience just expands with the pains and the aches
But the growing’s so worth it
Reaching for perfection though I’ll never be perfect
Back slide for temptations but the fire won’t lapse
So just learn from creation and don’t ever turn back
React from a wrong with right seek forgiveness
Pride will subside and Allah bears witness
To liars who believe they deceive when they cover
The hatred in their hearts with their words but what’s smothered is themselves
And the Truth is
They perceive not
Humble hearts seek forgiveness and foil evil plots
Prayer is protection from indecency
Heals the wounds of a sickness part of the Peace to be.
