Small Deeds

Ever been on a drive inside in your ride and you're

Looking through the glass see your car on the side?

The engine's broken and the car is smoking and

The dude is shaking cause the heat is baking

Or this cat's got a flat and the spares all whack

No jack in the back and no clue where he's at

There ain't no real rush but you roll right by

Not even asking the guy if he needs a supply

He might be alright and to pass ain't a sin

But within you feel bad in the state that he's in

How hard would it have been just to ask "You okay?"

That might be the deed that you need to succeed

That might be the deed that will so please Allah that

You're forgiven the sinning you did when you was living

A small little thing that can cling and just ring

And will bring the blessing from Allah who's the king

We pass on them deeds cause they seem all small

But they might be the deeds that's the best of them all

Mad when I see all these passes I took on

These small little deeds I just overlooked

I just can't believe (small deeds that are overlooked)

Can you see (little deeds that are overlooked)

And you read (read about it in my holy book)

It says (small deeds never overlooked)

I just can't believe (small deeds that are overlooked)

Can you see (little deeds that are overlooked)

And you read (read about it in my holy book)

It says (small deeds never overlooked)

Picking up trash on the path in a flash taking

Glass from the grass as you pass to your class

A smile goes a mile and it sure is worthwhile

When a brother's hostile and has been for a while

Put a dollar every day in the Sadaqah

It may be small but you do it for the Barakah

I know you save it for your Polo and your Nautica

A poor student but you do it just to please Allah

Things like praying for an ailing brother under the weather

Obeying, yo, your lovely mother is for the better

Stay and help your baby brother put on his sweater

Even staying good to one another when you're together

Advice to another sister about a mister

Your wife, always go and kiss her, tell her you miss her

At night do a quiet dhikr and pray to Rika

Invite a guy who wants to pick her to share a Snicker

Grand plans expand in our small little hands

But we overlook demands that just seem like strands

We get jammed on exams when we skip the small things

Small baby deeds, come on, bring the blessings

I just can't believe (small deeds that are overlooked)

Can you see (little deeds that are overlooked)

And you read (read about it in my holy book)

It says (small deeds never overlooked)

I just can't believe (small deeds that are overlooked)

Can you see (little deeds that are overlooked)

And you read (read about it in my holy book)

It says (small deeds never overlooked)

Put a dollar every day in the Sadaqah

It may be small but you do it for the Barakah

I know you save it for your Polo and your Nautica

A poor student but you do it just to please Allah

I just can't believe (small deeds that are overlooked)

Can you see (little deeds that are overlooked)

And you read (read about it in my holy book)

It says (small deeds never overlooked)

I just can't believe (small deeds that are overlooked)

Can you see (little deeds that are overlooked)

And you read (read about it in my holy book)

It says (small deeds never overlooked)

I just can't believe

Can you see

And you read

It says

I just can't believe
