It's gotta go back to basics

Take it all off, drop it all down

Quit the races

It's rooted in you; with pure intentions guidance is found

People after one another

Nit picking, thumb flicking, air stinking

It's an open mouth, in a drought

Trying to be replenished but you've got your thoughts caught with the devil

Trying to understand, truth in your effort reflects your stance

And it all goes back down to basics

Every question, every reply will come from simplicity , with a tear in your eye

It's really all that simple

But the devil takes his seat upon every lying victim

That's our social standing we're all caught up in the corrupt system

Morality lost , ethics comes last and our understanding of life and death is mismatched

Trying to balance this extreme perception

So even at our finest we're weakened in our own deception

We excuse our stagnation

Blame our inability to keep up with our natural inclination

Shame over shameless ...

Need I remind us

Social change remains a reflection

If we don't have it right inside it's gonna be tight outside

But we won't ever piece the puzzle

Until we realize the basics rule our lives

And if we just focus our energy on correcting and implementing truth will be clear and will easily turn away the stench of falsehood as it's fermenting

....... yah, there I go venting ..

On the authority of Aboo `Abdillaah an-Nu`maan the son of Basheer (radiAllaahu 'anhumaa), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) say:

That which is lawful is clear and that which is unlawful is clear, and between the two of them are doubtful matters about which many people do not know. Thus he who avoids doubtful matters clears himself in regard to his religion and his honour, but he who falls into doubtful matters [eventually] falls into that which is unlawful, like the shepherd who pastures around a sanctuary, all but grazing therein. Truly every king has a sanctuary, and truly Allaah's sanctuary is His prohibitions. Truly in the body there is a morsel of flesh, which, if it be whole, all the body is whole, and which, if it is diseased, all of [the body] is diseased. Truly, it is the heart.
