Dark of the Night

I'm not Jesus Christ or Mohammed but
I can read and write
Between the lines I see a message
Is it wrong or right?
I fight to keep my faith alive
In the dark of the night
I use my mic to inspire
I hope you see the light
I'm not the prophet Abraham or Mahatma Gandhi
I'm just a man with many questions
Sometimes they haunt me
I fight to keep my faith alive
In the dark of the night
I use my mic to influence
I hope you see the light
In the dark of the night

In the name of the Father and Son
The Holy Spirit and this gun
That I protect my fam with in case
My prayers don't protect us son
Is there a chosen one? Chosen few? Maybe none
Maybe when you're dead it's done
No sun, no moon, no light, no outcome
I love the thought of being
Reunited with my fam
Sounds like a scam sometimes though
So here I stand
Crossing hands, a man trying to understand
Whose book of plans should I follow
If they're written by hands
Just like my own, human to the bone
We are all flawed and scarred
Nobody wants to die alone
I sit upon a throne, fearless in my home
My hood, the city and world that I roam
What about the unknown?
I'm not a clone to follow
A nicely written poem
Scriptures structured to make you
Comb through your thoughts, your dome
I can't lead you home but
I will ask the questions i'm not an atheist
This is just a true confession

In the dark of the night I
Wonder why I was placed here
My family told me put my faith
In God and face fear
For some reason I ain't wanna
Put my faith there and going to church I saw
Nothing but hate there
I ain't understand how everyone
Else could be wrong
And I ain't wanna be like
Everyone else and conform
Yeah so I had a discussion with moms
And that's around the same
Time I discovered Islam
The first time that I had peace in my life
The first time I had a reason
And a beacon of light
And if another human being think
That Jesus the light i don't argue
I just hope that they have
Peace in their life
There's a war going on outside
No man is safe from
Every religion have a god but
It's the same one
Religion's just a tool to divide
Us and they won
I feel that God been standing
Beside me since day one

Am I faithful at heart and smart
Enough to find the right path?
Endure the wrath of a stormy past
Or will I be cast? To a hell that no one
Can foretell if it exists
Or do we dwell in the midst of
If so I like Hell
I like Heaven too, it makes me feel so vital
The thought of living in peace and love
Something so primal
Forget the titles, everyone has their rivals
But I think that it's bigger than
All of us like this recital
Spiritually agnostic, curious and caustic
My thoughts sick regardless of what we think
Have I lost it? No I tossed it to the side
The simpleminded lies
Saint Mary mother of God
I still look in your eyes
Despite all I despised I realised that
I must take what I've learned
And make it all mine
Until I die or fly with the other souls
Foolish pride won't stop me from asking why
Show me a sign
