This is the freestyle battle,
Join in guys, and do not make a rattle.
Anyone can rhyme it's easy to do,
Just give it a try, I'm sure you can too.
Nobody feels like they want to rhyme,
Probably because they do not have the time.
They have school and work too,
Lots of homework just waiting for you.
They sit for hours which turns to days,
They make their wudu and prays.
They make dhikr and dua'ah to the ONE,
Asking if it is possible to worship and have fun.
They ask what's important the dunya of our life is a test,
They say is it better to be a muslim than the rest?
With all these rules getting into their way,
Peer pressure with friends leading them astray.
They are turning left and right not sure where to go,
They are told just chill out and go with the flow.
They cry out in pain not sure what to do,say
Ya Allah, help me make it through.
Parents pressure them to do better than their best,
They say A+ isn't perfect, and you say its only a test.
They make it a big deal and say we want what's best for you,
doesnt matter now if you're hurting, just finish it perfectly, you can do it, i know you can too.
The kids are unsure of what life is to come,
When islam is their deen, and they know where they're from.
But their families mix culture with religion and same it's all one in same,
They do not care if it confuses their kids,
they are not the ones to blame.
Parents say to their kids, you cannot go there,It's a co-ed place,
and you must cover your hair.
You wonder why they didn't teach you from the start,
So you could feel Islam within from your heart.
You rather feel it with your mind,
Follow it with reasonings instead of being blind.
But the families say just do as you're told,we know better than you,
and do not be so cold.It is confusing for the kids today,
To grow up thinking they have no say.
In what to think and how to feel,and i guess it's up to us,
to learn, know, adn teach and then heal.Insha'Allah we can learn it and say,
O Allah I thank you and pray.
For protecting me and guiding me so true,
I know I could not have done it without you.
Knowing that each day that I pray,
Asking you to help me in each and every way.
Is where I want my deen (iman) to go,
And insha'Allah each day my knowledge will grow.
Insha'Allah one day i'll show,and help everyone to be true,and most of all i'll remember You.always..
