I used to say c'est la vie, que sera sera And wish that I could be this super duper rap star Drive around the planet from New York to London Take it for granted that it could never get redundant Now where the fun went? That dumb ish is played out To hell with stunts and blunts and tryin' to stay out I fade out from that lifestyle to retirement Cause we all called to a higher environment Than the club scene drinkin' down gin and juice With a fogged mind, you don't wonder what your sin produce Nine months later with a shorty though And you still tryin' to cling to your 40, no I want true mission and submission And never say a word without the most high permission Now listen, ain't nothin' deep for us to understand Put the nonsense down and be a man Redemption Peep science and reflect And seek the divine, refine and perfect Time we receive we really don't earn So each day I promise to Allah to stand firm What will the day bring? I don't know, can't front But if I listen close God will tell me what He want Now some say the message in their ear ain't clear Maybe what He's tellin' you, you ain't tryin' to hear I see the straight path before me, but walkin' it is difficult The nature of life is just just and reciprocal You reap what you sew my brother "But the times are tough" "Yo, I know my brother" To guard against sin, you see I gotta close ranks And still coexist with all who give thanks Become an old man and find a straight path We argue over names, some debate and math But you see God is one One Earth and one seed, one word So brother you must read The information that you need has been written Any knowledge I speak, is definitely bitten So I'm a proud biter and reciter of news A writer who will try to reach higher haiku's Just a plain one, tryin' to shed a little light As long as we're alive we can make wrong's right
