Still Strong (featuring Isam B.) - Native Deen

In ma house, mindin ma biz

Sunday mornin doin chores, watchin ma kidz

You know how it is, they chillin watchin seasame street

Ma wife showing me hot to cook sumthing to eat

Now this is my life nd that is ma wife nd those are ma kidz.,

Im woring hard so we can comfortabley live

Knock, knock, somebody is at the front door

Honey ill get it i need to take a break from y chores

Knock, knock, it just went from a knock to a pound

Now who is this clown tryna my smile to a frown

Knock, knock, it just went from pound to a bang

Now this is insane, I hear em yelling my name

I open the door nd what do i see

Its like 23 agents looking at me

They drew the cuffs to ma hands nd my face to the floor

Dragged away, my family crying at the front door

AAAAGGGGHHHHH, we’re not breaking, we’re still strong

No matter what they do we’re moving on

AAAAGGGGHHHHH, we’re not breaking, we’re still strong

No matter what they do we’re moving on

We’re still moving on

And they was asking me that and asking me this

Accusing me of being on somebody’s terrorist list

I had to resist, I want a lawyers all I would say

But they said that they would torture me all night and all day

And so I would pray for God to give me strength to get through

If the evidence I knew, I would prove it untrue

Osama Bin who, they want to say I support him

If I don’t give in, I’ll never see my family again

Its been more than 10 months since they dragged me from home

4 hours questioning and 20 in my cell alone…

So you wanna break me?

nah I’m still strong

Sti--ll wanna hate me?

I´ll prove you wrong

Wait and you’ll see — I was right — all along

But as for now let me do- do my thing, let me sing this song

Its not Islam or Christianity, Its all of the humanity

The religion of vanity drives people to insanity

My soul and my anatomy are patient with calamity

I’ll never use profanity just let me see my family

AAAGGGHHH, we are not braking we are still strong

No matter what they do we are moving on

AAAGGGHHH, we are not braking we are still strong

No matter what they do we are moving on

We are still moving on

Yeah, let me see now, where do I start

Still the ANTAGONIST, still playing same part

Same old script, yeah same old drama

Only this time -- you trying link me with Osama

Yep, its me!

-- public enemy number one

Your specific intelligence nothing but a con

So tell me mr.

officer what you got on me?

-TRUMPED UP charges man, clear for all to see

-What did I do now?

what is my crime

Please can you tell me why I’ma be doing this time

Is it coz I put my head on the ground?

my foot in the sink?

There gotta be something, man!

Tell me what you found

Is it my beard, or the funny way I walk?

The rhymes I be spitting?

Or the way I was born to talk?

I’m an Innocent convict, victim of this era

Oppression in the guise of a war on terror

— My lyrical pen is still mightier than their sords

That’s why I be in the pen praying to my lord

— Like P said, they won’t let- me -out

The faith in my heart that’s what its all- about

I’m one of them muslems, so best lock me up

That’s why I’m rrright here — stuck in this rut

Keep my head high can’t no one take my pride

Nothing but a test from Him, we gotta take in stride
