I wish you were here Here next to me Been missing you so So desperately But lately I feel Like you feel and I see what you see How I’m missing you What happened to the ummah Once known so well... I wish you were here Here next to me Been missing you so So desperately But lately I feel Like you feel and I see what you see How I’m missing you What happened to the ummah Once known so well Greatness was known But now can u tell Used to inspire others with our way of thinking and speech People came from afar just to hear us teach Yo what happened to the ummah Once known so well Greatness was known But now can u tell Mosques are empty, refrigerators are stocked We lost our deen we feel secure ’Cause our mansions are locked In my teen years salah wasn’t really that tight Now I gotta pray each one of them twice What happened to the ummah Once known so well Greatness was known But now can u tell Brother we prefer light skinned women While righteously maintaining our deen against racism What happened to the ummah Once known so well Greatness was known But now can u tell I wish you were here Here next to me Been missing you so So desperately But lately I feel Like you feel and I see what you see How I’m missing you What happened to the ummah once known so well Greatness was known, but now can u tell Kids in Africa are starving - can’t afford to cry I’ll pay interest for a car I can’t afford to buy What happened to the ummah once known so well Greatness was known, but now can u tell? We used to smile at each other, with faces full of light Now we frown at each other, we bicker and we fight Pops in the mosque praying, kids in the streets hating Kids on the corner selling, pops in the mosque preachin’ What happened to the ummah once known so well Greatness was known but now can u tell?
