lyrics

In Islam we have a saying
It is, tie your camel and then trust in God
In other words, handle your business, first
Secure what you're supposed to secure
Do what you're supposed to do
And then trust
You don't sit back and do nothin and say
Oh, the Creator is gonna pay this bill for me
You mess around, right, and hit the light switch
And it don't come on
So we have to handle our business, man

This is the first day, today
I'm still tryna adjust to gettin up at four o' clock
For the early prayer
And then shortly thereafter
Not having anything to eat or drink since 5:30
And man, I feel like I'm thirstier than I've ever been
Like I'm on a desert on something
But
I been doin this for many, many years
So I know what it does to you

And the good things, well all the things are good
But some of them, they not too comfortable
I don't like being hungry
But I like feeling what people that don't have no food
I like feeling a little bit of what they feel
I think that's something all of us should connect to
On some level
Even though, man
We eat a lot of food
And we should really be careful of that
Because there are people that just don't have food
That even die of hunger
So it really elevates your consciousness
In terms of being able to connect
With the value and the blessing of food
And the turmoil and the life
Of those that are hungry
