Be At The Top - Native Deen

How come every time I go and I flip on the news channel

I see these images of Muslims having crude manners

Angry men, holding guns with a few camels

Terrorist pumping fists with their rude banners

You get anxiety, from symbols of our piety

Cause they don’t show us Muslims who contribute to society

How come they don’t show us doing positive things

We get abused and harassed so many problems this brings

Did this to black’s in the 60's, Japanese in the 40's

Were the same category how their messing with our stories

Flashing our pictures over negative words

People are begging to learn but you just making it worse

But now were gonna watch you, your biases that pop through

And go against your sponsors advertisers if we got to

Wake up, its our right to defend

Gotta fight with the pen if our plights gonna end

You wanna be at the top, Inshallah

Are we the cream of the crop, Inshallah

You gonna rock till we drop, Inshallah

Cause believers never stop, Mashallah

Are we the people with the plan, Inshallah

Are we doing all we can, Inshallah

Putting knowledge in the land, Inshalalh

With the power of the pen, Mashallah

Yes, Yes, Yes Ya’ll.

You know it time to listen very close

Because my lyrics are gonna get raw

Cause what you see is what you saw

‘Ain't nothing changed but the criminal perception of the law

Like who’s a criminal and whats a crime

I’m trying to define how the television washes your mind

Conspiracies against me and still

The majority of the people still believe whatever they see on TV

How can this be when obviously it’s the media

Feeding lies to the people can’t you see that bro

Come on, you need examples, for instance some cases

You don’t know religion and you don’t know about the races

You look, see black, think that I’m athletic

Then you look and see I’m Muslim and you think anti-Semitic

But check it, watch what they do to your mind kid

Its all connected you better not be blind kid

We all know the media ain’t doing us right

So everyday we write, that is the way we fight

We all know the media ain’t doing us right

And if we all unite will make them see the light

It’s known that governments will stereotype

They profile us by day, lock us up in the night

It’s known that governments will stereotype

But we still invite them to the deen that’s right

They put the word on the street

That Muslims got beef, say we in the middle east

Plotting with the sheikhs

Thinking that they right when we know they not

And Say we coming up with the next terrorist plot

And with these petty lies, now we’re not concerned

That’s about the time we bring on that mic burn

And smash it, against all of they tactics

They let us have it, but you know we coming back kid

We got students copin' deen plus a law degree

So they can run these snakes straight out judiciaries

Future leaders burning up the quills

Torching all the lies so the people know the real

We ain’t the type of rhymers saying shoot to kill

We saying stop the lies and show them whats real

We ain’t the type of rhymers saying bust the steel

We saying stop the blood, and let the ink spill
