Faith on the Streets

(bismillah) Late night, moving through the zone,

Bass hit hard, but I’m grounded in my soul,

I been through the fire,

I been through the rain,

Still I say Alhamdulillah through the pain.

No fear, no doubt,

I keep my head high,

Ya Rabbi, give me strength when the pressure gets tight,

World keeps spinning, but I stay on course,

Faith in my heart,

Allah is my source.

I don’t chase what fades,

I don’t worship the gold,

I protect my faith when the night gets cold,

Every setback taught me something I should know,

Every door that closed

made another one show.

Sabr in my heart,

tawakkul in my soul,

When I can’t see the road,

still I know where to go,

One God, one truth,

let the whole world know,

La ilaha illallah — that’s the code that I hold.

From the Gulf to the world,

let the bassline knock,

Arabic on my tongue while the hip-hop talks,

I give thanks every day for the life that I got,

Alhamdulillah — never forgetting Allah.

Look— Step by step,

I keep moving ahead,

Faith in my heart,

no fear in my head,

When the world says “stop,” I remember what You said,

Ya Allah, Ya Rahman,

keep me spiritually fed.

Night turns dawn, and the darkness gets gone,

I was lost for a minute,

now I’m walking strong,

No matter what comes,

I keep holding on,

La ilaha illallah — all day long.

Lead: Who gives me strength?

(Allah!) Lead: Who gives me peace?

(Allah!) Lead: What does my heart repeat?

(La ilaha

illallah!)

Lead: One God!

(One God!) Lead: One truth!

(One truth!) All: La

ilaha illallah! (Alhamdulillah...)

(La

ilaha

illallah)
