Save Me - Native Deen

What got me to this point, why am I not surprised.

No need for rewind, my life flashes right before my eyes,

I wasn’t unlike most, and specifically speaking

Grew up Muslim in public school, Islamic school on the weekend,

Once in a while made it to Jummah maybe not even that,

As far as Islam is concerned it really wasn’t where my head was at,

But it was cool if I made grades on the home front,

A 4.0 my parents bought me anything I want.

The «fly-est» gear to help me cop them digits,

Then maybe when I am 30 I’ll become religious

But later came, my disposition stayed the same,

Live your life one way too long it’s not so easy to change

I refrained from the things that was said to help me gain

And indulge in the things that I should of obstained

Mixed up caught up, going out of my brain

I guess it’s about the time, I ran into «Mary Jane» (Marijuana)

Inhalations in my breath, got my mind thinking less, oh yes,

And in this state I met the angel of death,

And then came the time for Allah to resurrect,

My soul from the clutches of a six foot depth

I find myself surrounded by the company I kept

Realizing full well this was the day of regret

And over the horizon, slowly it crept,

Anticipation thoughts racing and I’m losing my breath

And with all my might my right arm I stretch,

Imagine my reaction, I caught my book in my left,

I caught my book in my LEFT!!!

I caught my book in my left!

Save me from the, Hell fire, Hell fire, Hell fire

Save me from the, Hell fire, Hell fire, Hell fire

Everybody will come to the hour

When we stand all alone in horror

And we hope that our deeds will help us through

Only one we can blame is ourselves

We were blessed with our youth and our health

And we wonder why our deeds are few

Everybody-gets a wake up call,

Take a warning before the nightfall

Use the time right now for making prayer

And on the day when there is no shelter

The good deeds are your only helpers

You’ll be proud when you see that they’re there.

I’m looking back now at my life on the earth

Been thinking about my deeds and what everything was worth

Like the time I was listening to a speech about Hell,

It really made me scared cause he broke it down well,

Never you forget about those angels undercover, or the.

Day when your good deeds are weighed against the others

Bad deeds brought together, then you discover

Your good deeds are just feathers, you start to shudder

Then- the- angels come nasty, ugly as ever,

Grab you by the forehead, and start to make you suffer

Hot, boiling water, Burning fire forever,

Waiting for a pause in the pain, but it be never →

As I rode to my school, I told myself there ain’t no way I’m gonna be a fool,

And forget Allah’s rules.

Eyes on the prize, gonna stay wise,

As I go to class, socialize with the guys.

But whoa, look at the time, the next prayer’s in,

I’m here chillin' - they’ll start staring

Slip to bathroom, find an empty classroom,

Don’t wanna miss a prayer here at school or even at home

Man it was a struggle, trying to be a Muslim and staying out of trouble,

The stress seemed double,

Even watching TV, I had have patrol,

Hands on remote control, just to save my soul

But deep in my heart yo I knew it,

I could really do it, If I pushed myself through it,

Living all my youth with Islam, see it only grew me stronger,

Withholding temptations for longer and longer,

But now it pays off, if the fire stays off,

Be chilling for eternity forever days off,

Got my book in right and my fate is looking well,

They put struggles of my youth on the good side of my scale

With the mercy of Allah, I won’t fail, Cause truly

Not a moment, not a moment did I want in Hell.

Cause not a moment, not a moment would I want in hell.
