Yo, yeah, ok look
They say, I notice them saying, many things about me
Whether it’s the way I speak, the way I dress
The places I hang or where I come from
But these things don’t bother me, don’t affect me
The one thing I notice they say most is, these words that I share
Touch the hearts of many people
And inspire, and motivate people to change
And that’s why I do this
You see, the best of mankind is those who benefit mankind, and that’s all I’m trying to do
I feel like death can come any time
Faster than we expect
And everyone just wants to have the best of this life while they’re here and the best of the next life when they go
And I feel like, in this, what I found, I found
A way to find this success, this happiness
And I just want to share it with the people
So this is what I do
And I use film and sound because I feel like the people I’m trying to reach out to are the type of people who’d rather just watch something or listen to something rather than pick up a book and learn something.
So, this is what I do man
In the film industry, I’m known as my birth name, Ashley Chin
And in this Islamic poetry scene, I go by my chosen name, Muslim Belal.
So this is just an introduction tryna bring the two worlds together
Let everyone know that Ashley Chin is Muslim Belal
And this is the Transition.
