Native Deen Pray Before
I got so many excuses that I use when the athans made
I’m telling lies don’t even hesitate
I tell the people I’ve already prayed
I got this thing I gotta do and I’m already late
Don’t lecture me don’t want no fitnah or drama
I just need to get out before they make the iqama…PEACE
I’m cruising down the avenue the boulevard
All of a sudden, Oh my God
No fender bender I was critically injured
In the hospital bed my family thought I was dead…MAN
I never though it’d happen to me
But I can tell you I was happy to see
All of my boys coming in the emergency room taking a
knee
And every single one was praying for me
Eventually I made it through. Al-hamdu-lilah
I thank Allah. A second chance to make salah
Chorus
When it comes to not praying the best, we be notorious
Not focused on our Lord most glorious
A reminder to our self is what the story was
Just talking the talk, that really worries us,
We get caught up in this fleeting world like Morpheus
Making money or getting the Bachalorrious
We keep forgetting that prayer, it makes us victorious
both In this world and the next life, He's rewarding
us,
Furious, cause I know I can do better…
Recording us, at every show in any weather..
And warning us, when the souls are brought together
The first thing checked are my prayers on the regular
Wake up! never waste this breath
Everybody every soul will get a taste of death
Pray like it’s your last prayer cause that date is set
And that your going straight to heaven, NEVER make that
bet
