Pray Before... - Native Deen

I got so many excuses that I use when the azaans 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

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 back of lorries

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
