Lyrics
Chorus
Subhan’Allah (God is void of evil/Glory be to Allah/Glory to God)
Alhamdulillah (Praise to God/All Praise is due to Allah)
Allahu Akbar (God is great/God is greatest)
You gotta have faith
V1
Assalamu Alaikum my brothers, may Allah grant peace upon you all
I’ve called you here tonight cuz there’s something we must resolve
it involves our lack of unity, frankly, I’m appalled
at the fall of our community and how it all dissolved
let’s recall how the Hebrews were treated in Ancient Egypt
oppressed and enslaved yet they stayed as believers
so of course God freed them, then history repeated
and our people were enslaved by depraved Europeans
from Africa to Haiti, we resisted our mistreatment
and proudly we united in our fight against evil
and once again, God freed us in hopes that we would see it
was a trial from our Lord so we’d be thankful as believers
so what went wrong? why’d we abandon God’s teachings?
it seems like we’ve adopted Babylon’s way of thinking
choosing money over life, abandoning family for our wealth
and you wonder why our communities have failed, what happened to our faith?
Chorus
Subhan’Allah (God is void of evil/Glory be to Allah/Glory to God)
Alhamdulillah (Praise to God/All Praise is due to Allah)
Allahu Akbar (God is great/God is greatest)
You gotta have faith
V2
Now let’s look back at our civil rights leaders from the past
and the role that religion played in keeping us on track
don’t forget Dr. and Reverend Martin Luther King was hunted
as the head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference
brother Malcolm was a spokesman for the Nation of Islam
and Frederick Douglass was a minister, the list goes on and on
and those were black churches and homes the Klan would bomb
and intimidate our people, burning crosses on our lawns
cuz Islam and Christianity were always part of our families
teaching us to work together while guiding our communities
but recently our people have abandoned God’s teachings
and started to adopt Babylon’s way of thinking
choosing money over life, we’ve replaced our religion
with drug dealing, thugging, or embraced pimping
getting paid to enslave then manipulate our women
and you wonder why it’s Hell where you’re living, cuz you threw away your faith
Chorus
Subhan’Allah (God is void of evil/Glory be to Allah/Glory to God)
Alhamdulillah (Praise to God/All Praise is due to Allah)
Allahu Akbar (God is great/God is greatest)
You gotta have faith

What makes you afraid to be righteous or to try to guide our nation?
or ashamed to speak of peace or to pursue an education?
and why are you afraid to speak out against evil?
or the treatment of our women that’s inflicted by our people?
are you ashamed of being a virgin or to save yourself for marriage?
like you’re scared to tell them “no”, so you give in to the pressure
scared to speak about your faith, scared to claim your own religion
cuz you’re scared of being rejected by your peers, but what you’re missing
is just cuz someone’s smiling at you that doesn’t mean that they’re your friend
they could be smiling cuz they tricked you or they’re happy to see you sin
it’s better to have a few righteous friends or even to walk alone
than to hang with evildoers, bringing the Devil in your home
if he appeared as a serpent, you’d recognize and desert him
so he speaks through his minions, slowly teaching you to serve him
so they showed you how to sell drugs and different ways of killing
and they bring you free drinks, stolen goods, and easy women
but you don’t realize that these false friends are helping
you gain the life of the world at the cost of going to Heaven
God opened up your eyes so you could see a better path
so don’t turn back when times have gotten bad, you’ve just got to have faith
Chorus
Subhan’Allah (God is void of evil/Glory be to Allah/Glory to God)
Alhamdulillah (Praise to God/All Praise is due to Allah)
Allahu Akbar (God is great/God
