Before the sun rise I set my intentions to make fajr/
In the direction of the Ka'aba/
Teach my sister and my daughter/
While I'm dripping with water/
Making salat on the prayer rug/
What it is, is what it was 1,400 years ago/
Shout out to Faye at NYC Deli for hooking it up with the prosciutto, pepperoni, salami, and ham sandwich that weights as much as a newborn baby. Salute Faye.
yea i like those too, they were all usually some of the best introspective ones. never came off corny or preachy which is really hard to do with any kind of spirituality and music, except satanism i guess lol
To be honest by the time that came out I hadn't felt most of Quinn's output leading up to it in the few years prior and as I said only really liked Messy Situationz by Marv so I didn't give it much of a chance.
My nigga locked down, feeling like he gotta escape now/
While I break down, pounds of coke/
Still feeling like I'm grogged, chasing the American dream/
Spending money faster than a dope fiend/
Rude boy can't understand what no mean/
Bismi'llah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim/
Audhuubi'llahi...minash Shaitan arajeem/
i liked marv for a few tapes after the fake blood cokehead shenanigans turned away most people, he turned out a few slaps still. obviously the older stuff was better tho
We on the run, still on the streets, we just thugs/
Everybody love us, pimp hoes push drugs/
Make music for the streets, fuck radio cuts/
The hood find your gimmick/
Everybody can't live it/
Cuz niggas not real, most niggas is bitch/
I let his momma suffer instead of trying to get rich/
You act like a thug, but you never will kill/
Slide past the hood, but you never do chill/
Catch me in HP, catch me in the Fill/
With my cousin Hus from the Lo, you know we treal/
They ask me do I pop E, fuck poppin pills/
I pop niggas with the steel/
Marv, quinn and jacka have all made songs and albums I still listen to monthly and consider all time classics. But they also all have about 5 times as many horrible boring ass songs.
