What happened to the ummah Once known so well Greatness was known But now can you tell Used to inspire others with our way of thinking and speech People came from afar just to hear us teach Mosques are empty, refrigerators are stocked We lost our deen we feel secure Cause our mansions are locked In my teen years salah wasnt really that tight Now I gotta pray each one of them twice Kids in Africa are starving - cant afford to cry Ill pay interest for a car I cant afford to buy We used to smile at each other, with faces full of light Now we frown at each other, we bicker and we fight Pops in the mosque praying, kids in the streets hating Kids on the corner selling, pops in the mosque preachin The Quran has left out hearts stranded, hanging on out walls 6236 verses, so strong 9 out of 10 of us cant even read or write 1924 feels distant like way before Christ — Outlandish
