歌詞
What got me to this point, why am I not surprised?
No need for rewind, my life flashes right before my eyes
I wasn't unlike most, and specifically speaking
Grew up Muslim in public school, Islamic school on the weekends
Once in a while I made it to Jumu'ah, maybe not even that
As far as Islam was concerned, it really wasn't where my head was at
But it was cool if I made grades on the home front
A 4.0, my parents bought me anything I want
The flyest gear to help me cop them digits
Maybe later, when I'm thirty, I'll become religious
But later came, my disposition stayed the same
Live your life one way so long, it's not so easy to change
I refrained from the things that were said to help me gain
And indulged in the things that I should've abstained
Mixed up, caught up, goin' out of my brain
I guess this 'bout the time I ran into Mary Jane
Inhalations in my breath got my mind thinking less
Oh yes, and in that state I met the Angel of Death
And then came the time for Allah to resurrect
My soul from the clutches of a six foot death
I found myself surrounded by the company I kept
Realizing full well this was a day of regret
And over the horizon, slowly, it crept
Anticipation, thoughts racing, and I'm losing my breath
And with all my might, my right arm I stretch
Imagine my reaction, I caught my book in my left
Save me from the
Hellfire, hellfire
Save me from the
Hellfire, hellfire
Everybody will come to the hour
When we stand all alone in horror
And we hope that our deeds will help us through
Only one we can blame is ourselves
We weren't blessed with our youth and our health
And we wonder why our deeds are few
Everybody gets a wake-up call
Take this warning before the night falls
Use this time right now for making prayer
On the day when there is no shelter
Good deeds are your only helper
You'll be proud when you see that they're there
I'm lookin' back now on my life on this earth
I'm thinkin' 'bout my deeds and what everything was worth
Like the time I was listenin' to a speech about Hell
It really made me scared 'cause he broke it down well
He said, "Never you forget about those angels undercover
And the day when your good deeds outweighed against the others
Bad deeds brought together, then you discover
Your good deeds are like a feather," you start to shudder
Then the angels come ugly, messy as ever
Grab you by your forehead and start to make you shudder
Hot boiling water, burning fire forever
Waiting for a pause in the pain but it be never
As I rode to my school, I told myself there ain't no way
I'm gonna be a fool and forget Allah's rules
Eyes on the prize, I'm gonna stay wise
As I go to my class, socialize with the guys
But whoa, look at the time, the next prayer's in
I'm here chillin' and they'll start starin'
I slip to the bathroom, find an empty classroom
Don't wanna miss a prayer here at school or even at home
Man, it's a struggle, tryin' to be a Muslim and
Be stayin' out of trouble, the stress seems double (Double)
Even watchin' TV, I had to have control
Hands on remote control just to save my soul
Deep in my heart, yo, I knew it
I could really do it if I pushed myself through it
Livin' on my youth with Islam, see, it only grew me stronger
Withholding temptations for longer and longer
And now it pays off, if the fire stays off
Be chillin' for eternity, forever days off
Got my book in my right and my fate is lookin' brother
Put the struggles of my youth on the good side of my scale
With the mercy of Allah, I won't fail
'Cause truly, not a moment, not a moment did I want in Hell
Not a moment, not a moment do I want in Hell
Not a moment, not a moment would I want in Hell
Come on
Save me from the
Hellfire, hellfire
Save me from the
Hellfire, hellfire
Save me from the
Hellfire
Save me, save me from the Hellfire
Save me
