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 you 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 you 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 you 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 you 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 you 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 you 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 you tell?      The Quran has left out hearts stranded   Hanging on out walls, 6232 verses, so strong   9 out of 10 of us can?t even read or write   1924 feels distant like way before Christ      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      Que le pasó a la maza   Como puede ser   La grandeza conocida   No la puedo ver      He visto como mi figura cae en tentación   A pesar de que la vida a sido buena con luz e ilusion   He pedido perdón por mis pecados   Tengo la cruz sobre mi cama y el diablo a mi lado      Que le pasó a la maza   Como puede ser   La belleza conocida   No la puedo ver      He sentido incompetencia buscando la verdad   Todos dicen conocerla solo veo la maldad      Que le pasó a la maza   Como puede ser   La pureza conocida   No la puedo ver      If I was to fall on my knees   And ask you to forgive everything for the Lord   Out of love for the one   Oh, oh, oh, I've seen      And if you were to fall on ya knees   And ask me the same   Brother, don?t even think about it   Lets just break out of the darkness of ignorance      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
