In The Name of Allah The Beneficent The Most Merciful
the world is mines
the world is mines
the world is mines
they shouted
didn’t they get the message from the righteous of the past
the world is mines
the world is mines
the world is mines
Firaun shouted
the world is mines
the world is mines
the world is mines
little did he know the punishment of
the Lord of the world awaited him
Thamuud shouted
the world is mines
the world is mines
the world is mines
didn’t he see the torment of the Lord of all that exist behind him
Aad shouted
the world is mines
the world is mines
the world is mines
while his mouth’s wide opened
like the sky as the storm surrounded him
by the Lords of the heavens and the earth
the world is mines
the world is mines
the world Is mines
you believe
making it hard for other to live
leaving blood stains buried deep under the oceans
“they’re like animals”
“they’re half humans another”
Due to the color of their skin
Or their tribe
not caring if they’re
someone’s king or queen
father or mother
brother or sister
son or daughter
“the world is mines the world is mines the world is mines”
you testified
didn’t you read the stories of the past
Prophets
Nuuh, Saaleh,Huud, Ibrahim, Mousa Muhammad may Allah bless them.
Sacrifice their lives
Endured patience
the world is mines
the world is mines
the world is mines
miracles upon miracles poured down upon them
while foolishly shouting
“the world is mines
the world is mines
the world is mines”
everything perish
all you cherish will remain behind
as you’re deep under
“the world is mines
the world is mines
the world is mines”
you uttered
daring to oppress others
due to the color of their skin
the tribe of their ancestors
the continent they belong
skin color
skin shade
will not matter
on the Great Day you’re denying
It’ll stare you right in your face
like a harsh nightmare
you can’t escape
thorns stuck in your throat
mouth shut and seal
by The One Who’s The Owner of The World you once called yours.
