"Psalm And Islam" lyrics
Foggieraw, Gwen Bunn & Dave James Lyrics
All praise be to God, Walaikum Salam
I'm a Christian and you're a Muslim
I study Psalms and you study Islam
I know what's righteous, I know what's haram
I know yo' dad and you know 'bout my mom
They said our love, it could not get along
They said our love from the core, it was wrong
'Cause I'm a Christian and you're a Muslim
You know my ma is a woman of faith
I know your dad prays five times a day
Your "9-to-5" didn't honor Allah
So you had to strike like Mohammed Salah
I signed off like I'm Kwame Appiah
Got you a gig at the bodega, like Bia
Diary of a mad black chick, like Madea
Through the valley shadow of death, you never have to fear
Ooh, you know we wrong
But you'll always be my girl
You'll always be my girl
So sweet, soul ties
You could be mine
What if we do the nasty 'cause the devil had deceived?
That's a sin if you're a Christian, a sin if you're a Muslim
That's some shit that I perceive
But all we got left is the baby we conceived
What would she believe?
What if she don't wanna hide her hair? What if she want weave?
What if she don't like that church? What if she wanna leave?
What if I'm like Adam and you're really like Eve
And we ate up off that tree and we God's pet peeve?
They say don't be unequally yoked
They say don't be so easy provoked
They say don't be so overly woke
They say you gotta give her that backstroke
They say, "Bruv," like a London bloke
They say make sure your suit is bespoke
I'm like "Damn, dog. I shouldn't have spoke."
I'm like "Mm, God, could You take a joke?"
If I had one wish 'fore I croak
I'd want Harry Potter's little invisibility cloak
Ooh, they don't recognize what we've been through
Overanalyzing our every move, oh, ooh
'Cause it's different how I feel when I'm around you
Nothing was the same when I found you (Found you)
Had to really change up my values
But I want you either way, show me how to
Show me how to
Ooh, you know we wrong
But you'll always be my girl
Show me how to
You'll always be my girl
Show me how to
So sweet, soul ties
You could be mine
Even though we can't be
You'll always be my girl
You'll always be my girl
So sweet, soul ties
You could be mine
I'm a Christian and you're a Muslim
I study Psalms and you study Islam
I know what's righteous, I know what's haram
I know yo' dad and you know 'bout my mom
They said our love, it could not get along
They said our love from the core, it was wrong
'Cause I'm a Christian and you're a Muslim
You know my ma is a woman of faith
I know your dad prays five times a day
Your "9-to-5" didn't honor Allah

You'll always be my girl
