[Intro: David Cameron]
That's what our society's now come to
It's teenagers shooting other teenagers
In their homes at ? rage and it's deeply depressing
And this goes beyond any one policy, or any one government
I think what we need is to recognise our society is badly broken and we need to make some big changes
Starting now

[Chorus: Muslim Belal & Abdullah Rolle] x2
I'm surrounded by guns and roses
Inspired by the story of Moses
Oh Allah, have mercy on this soul of mine
(I'm surrounded by)

[Verse 1: Muslim Belal]
Allah, when it's my time to go
Have mercy on my soul
Have mercy on my bros
We're struggling out here on the road
There's trouble out here on the road
And some learn slow
He's driving in a rental
He's tryna make dough
He's smoking on the neckle
He's waiting on a miracle
He's got the mind of a typical -
Ghetto child, he's in the mist of it all
Get pissed and he falls
I tried to give him a call
It's like he won't listen at all
Yeah, he's thinking like a fool
With his back against the wall
And he's still in school
He should be batting his ball
Instead he's backing his tool
Breaking the rules
Come and see the Smalls
I'll introduce you to a life that's cool
A life that attracted that Smalls
To be standing in the hall, with a carpet
Setting up a stall in the market
I'm giving da'wah, meeting targets
Another hour, another shahadah, I loved it
Gave da'wah to my brother, he loved it
Gave da'wah to my mother, she loved it
Bookworm
They said I'm eager to learn
I'm eager to avoid getting burnt
I'm waiting my turn
I'm staying concerned, for the youth
Yes, someone's gotta rap about the truth
Put Belal on the booth
I'm back to business
They don't wanna hear this
Well that's their business
It's my life, I choose the way I want to live this
I don't celebrate Christmas or birthdays
Easter or Valentine's Day
I don't celebrate, stay meditate
Big earthquake in Pakistan
Make dua' for the Muslim land
And give a helping hand
Cuz every hand helps
I'm concerned for my brothers' health
Some only care about their selves
And as long as the CD sells
They say the CD done well
I'm tryna make them learn as well
But at the same time, earn as well
I'm waiting my turn

[Chorus: Muslim Belal & Abdullah Rolle] x2
I'm surrounded by guns and roses
Inspired by the story of Moses
Oh Allah, have mercy on this soul of mine
(I'm surrounded by)
