Lyrics:
:M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them…
:M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them…
Say :M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them…
Say :M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them…

One billion strong, all year long
Prayers to Allah even in Hong Kong
You can never be wrong if you read the Qur’an
Cause it’s never been changed since day one
Others may brag, say that we lag
But they don’t know all the power we had
The power we had, the power we have
So Muslimeen don’t you ever feel sad
Take many looks, go read their books
You’ll see all the facts that your friends overlooked
So always be proud, you can say it out loud
I am proud to be down with the Muslim crowd!

Say : M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them..
Say : M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them…
Say : M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them…
Say : M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them…

They look at me strangely
Like I emit some type of energy
That draws kaafirs disbelievers towards me
Thinking to themselves what makes him different than me
Is it the hair, the clothes or maybe the food he eats
What could it be, that makes the cats stand at attention
His demeanor’s peaceful but on his face it’s clearly written that
This ain’t the sorta brother caught up in this and that
Running streets, carrying heat, yo he ain’t into that
This brother must live by some type of criteria
To make it to the average cat quite superior
So maybe one of these days I get near enough
Play like Nancy Drew on this mystery and clear it up
So listen up if you think this is strange
Cause these the type of thoughts that used to run through a new Shahada’s brains
And I bear witness to the one with 99 names, InshAllah I will always remain

CHORUS
Say:M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them…
Say:M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them…
Say:M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them…
Say:M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them…

Don’t know about you, I know about me
I’m proud to be rolling Islamically
Everywhere I see, even on tv
People talking trash about the way I be
But what they all hate, is if we get great
Cause we’re the only ones with our heads on straight
Don’t ever frown, or your head looking down
If you read the Qur’an you’re the best in the town
Y’all have doubt- say we have no clout
But-within-a-few years see how we’ve come about
Were back on the scene, The number-one deen
I’m proud to be down with the Muslimeen!

CHORUS
M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them…
Say :M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them

Lyrics:
Ours the future hold close
For a time will come
Deep in your heart there’s a river that flows
All the way to Kingdom come
Through the sandstorms where the high wind blows
A desert rose does bloom
Please help me…

Give the young a chance
Lead them in the dance
My people
Give the young a chance
To change their circumstance
And so… And so… It’s written:
As the moon shall turn the tides
And as the stars shall light your ride
Don’t listen to the words of fools
The young I know they are the jewels

Deeds I’ve done what I’ve become
Treasures I will find
Nourishment I do receive
Can’t help but believe
The road is long I shall stay strong
Please hear my song
Help me…

Give the young a chance
Lead them in the dance
My brothers
Give the young a chance
Lead them in the dance
My sisters
Give the young a chance
To change their circumstance
And so… And so… It’s written:
As the moon shall turn the tides
And as the stars shall light your ride
Don’t listen to the words of fools
The young I know they are the jewels

Take me to gardens where
Birds will sing lullabies
Find me in the shade of trees
Through gentle breeze
Sweet scents filled the air…

Give the young a chance
Lead them in the dance
My people
Give the young a chance
To change their circumstance
And so… And so… It’s written:
As the moon shall turn the tides
And as the stars shall light your ride
Don’t listen to the words of fools
The young I know they are the jewels
