We Need Saving

Freedom is pain the streets is cold

Times is hard it hurts to watch it burns my soul

The days are young the pain is old

We pray and mourn

I know they hate us

Cuz all the years spent shedding tears ain't seen no changes

See we're not dangerous

We need saving

We need saving

Never accustomed to travelling customs

Just anxiety anticipating quietly the handicap society affixed with being Muslim

As if we play the script of being equipped

Humanity stripped and searched at worst coerced no agenda supposedly

Their hidden motives never fooled the people that's close to me

Cuz fall of September I was laid up in a cradle

Innocence lost and ramifications from the labels

That the world gave ever since the world trade tragedy occurred I had observed the path the world paved for us

Restricted opportunities by new age quotas

Pull the andis and build a new face for us

Cuz now discrimination for us spread across the nations

My brothers feel unease when attending congregations

See my people dying everyday for what our faith is

I'm asking god to fill our hearts with patience

Freedom is pain the streets is cold

Times is hard it hurts to watch it burns my soul

The days are young the pain is old

We pray and mourn

I know they hate us

Cuz all the years spent shedding tears ain't seen no changes

See we're not dangerous

We need saving

We need saving

I'm asking what's new

It's rare to see our story on the news

Unless an outlier pulls a ruse

And claims Islamic scripture was the motive for his fuel

To contradict the book and villainize our pious

The same deception weaponized by the false messiah

And we can feel surveillance from the stares

Ironic you fear my people when really we're just as scared

Got us living out our nightmares looking in the mirror

Only way to fight fear is to be aware

Miseducated minds quick to racialize their fears

Prejudice designed by the narratives you hear

Cuz now this plague has spread across the nations

My brothers feel unease when attending congregations

Still my people dying everyday for what our faith is

Been asking god to fill our hearts with patience

Freedom is pain the streets is cold

Times is hard it hurts to watch it burns my soul

The days are young the pain is old

We pray and mourn

I know they hate us

Cuz all the years spent shedding tears ain't seen no changes

See we're not dangerous

We need saving

We need saving
