OFF D CHEST (lyrics)

J-Ansari:
Sometimes,
you wanna get things off your mind,
get things off your chest,
sometimes you want to ventilate.
Right now is one of those times.
Saad gone & tell em.
SaadImam:
I'm in the Masjid like a mantis, dawah (Call to Islam) deep like Atlantis,
So don't address me with circular logical semantics.
My roots run deep cuz that's how my seeds were planted.
Like an oak tree in the wind. Resisting drought like a cactus.
Firmly established. Unbreakable like Bruce Willis.
My last names Mateen (firm) so don't act like you don't know this.
& the bros I flow with, they ain't down for no nonsense.
You wanna intellectually debate us, we'll consume you like a thin mint.
Your beliefs a figment. Imaginatory allegory.
I studied your concepts in detail. i find them utterly boring.
They had me snoring so I blew em off like a gale wind.
You can tell to my hand the things my mind can't comprehend.
J-Ansari:
Absolutely! Sayf tell em. What...
Sayfuddeen:
As you fall into the scheme of things, the American dream makes things seem ok,
but they're not & no way.
not an inkling. Now my spidey sense is tingling
from all this interfaith dialogue & leaders mingling.
It's ok, you got some fatwa (Scholar's opinion) from your shaykh [learned (old, or rich) Muslim]
but who's written his check? Did you check?
Are these actual stacks like upper deck?
Or is it all made up like MiMi Bobeck?
Hikmah (Islamic wisdom or Sunnah-Way off Muhammad s.a.w.) can show you what's correct.
It can be soft enough to put you to rest or hard enough to break your neck.
It's the wisdom from Qur'aan (Last revelation from Allah to mankind) & Sunnah (Way of Muhammad s.a.w.).
Not some weak man's thinking over Hub-bud-dunya (Love of this life).
It's not hidden between the lines like some "peek-a-boo".
& that's shocking to some people just like peeka-choo.
But it's the truth so I let these words flow straight thru.
Cuz I'm a water-tight, inspire your son & daughter type.
Let the Hikmah (Islamic wisdom or Sunnah-Way off Muhammad s.a.w.) make you smarter type.
love Islam, study harder type.
Not some weak "lamb to slaughter" type.
but a bat to your dome, Jack Carter type.
J-Ansari:
O Saad, you ain't finished yet?
SaadImam:
Like acupuncture, pricking points to stiumulate.
Relax you with these fact & I'm open for debate.
As long as you bring it to my level & keep it level headed in your tone
I'm Jihadi (Muslim warrior for Islam) to the bone.
this ain't no threat. just practice common respect.
Cuz the Hikmah (Islamic wisdom or Sunnah-Way off Muhammad s.a.w.) can be soft or the Hikmah can snap yo neck.
It all depends if we be foes or we be friends.
Cuz if we be foes then we'll battle to the end.
& in the end it's victory or martyrdom.
For me one of these two, for you, you won't get none.
Cuz yous a kafir (Non-believer in Islam) so your home be that fire,
Cuz I'm lead by the wahi (Revelation" Qur'aan & Sunnah), you're lead by desire.
J-Ansari:
Yea! Absolutely!!
