lirik lagu muslim belal - nation of ignorance

[intro: bob marley & reporter]
are you a rich man?
what you mean rich, what ya mean?
do you have a lot of possessions? lot of money in the bank?
possession make you rich? i don’t have that type of richness. my richness is life

[chorus: castillo] x2
غريب في الحياة وفي المماتِ (ghareebun fil hayaati wa fil mamaati)
ومجهول الهوية والصفاتِ (wa majhoolul hawiyyati was-sifaati)
كذا كانت حياتي دون معنى (kadhaa kaanat hayaati doona ma’naa)
يفسرها ككل الكائنات (yuf-ssiruha kakulli l-ka-inaati)

[verse 1: muslim belal]
you see, what a life, what a life
the first period of our life is ignorance
so, i guess we have an excuse to live day by day with no purpose
but surely with age comes intelligence
so, we should reach a stage where we find reason for our existence
as youth, the world was a playground, we’re just tryna have fun
as adults, the world turns to trade and pounds we’re just tryna earn funds
victims of our environment, enemies of our government filled with hate and no hope
and those in the states they can’t cope when those across the road have got loads
the only thing in common is the goals, happiness, everyone just wants to be happy
living this lifestyle of luxury
but does materials equal success? is she getting the peace from these new shoes and a dress
and does he really feel complete with a new car and a rolex?
or are we searching for happiness in the wrong places
instead of looking at hearts were looking at faces
victims of ignorance slaves of our desires
we wanna end this world with a smile on our face but don’t live the life that’s required
are we people of different standards, cl-sses or nations? or are we humble, equal people, children of adam?
do you shake the owner of the restaurants hand with the same hand you shake the hand of the man that’s attending the toilets?
or do you look down on those below you because they got less?
we’re hopeless if we don’t start thinking outside the box
and the one who created this world really deserves a lot
you see we praise the mind that invented the aeroplane
but we forget about the mind that invented the mind
and in time we shall know the truth
and we praise the people that stood for something, that fought for freedom we love those people
well if we love those people, why do we still live like animals?
working all week so we can party on the weekend, working all winter so we can party all summer
the cycle goes round and round and round but the clocks ticking down and down and down
one can only go round the same roundabout for so long
there comes a stage where you have to choose your exit and find your way home
you see we’re attracted to the wrong things and we cry about the trouble it brings
the more people you make happy the happier you will be
if that’s the case why do we only care about we?

[verse 2: suli breaks]
and before i walk through the valley of the shadow of death
i pray someone or something would have been changed by the words i’ve uttered with this breath
your only goal should be to leave this earth as your worst critic
because on this journey called life, there is no return ticket
what more can we expect except to leave a legacy in a world full of blood spilling and gun k!lling
i just wanna leave one feeling, children of the most high so why can’t we be heavenly?
shouldn’t it be hereditary?
shouldn’t we become more than a dash between two dates on a gravestone in a cemetery
great men were never meant to live forever
but may the ideas they embody never wither
before you fear death, fear living with regrets
fear trading life for a cheque, because after all that time you spent there is nothing left
i once saw a man trade his soul for a mountain of gold
i wonder if he now knows that he undersold
and as we get older we use our age as an excuse to change what our stance is
putting so-called priorities over advances
but experience shows you should only get wiser with time
so, who are you to claim your age is a disadvantage?
if you don’t water your family tree how do you expect it to bear fruit on its branches
we are responsible together the same way one hand washes the other
i don’t believe in nationality i believe in humanity
we ain’t machines in a factory appease for a salary
on my knees in a sanctuary praying we cease the reality
words are powerful before you reach for your weapon seek for repentance
i used to believe that the signs of life, were nike, reebok or anything with three stripes
d-mn, how ignorant am i? and i ain’t stressing
i ain’t stressing because a wise man told me that patience is a blessing!
