[Intro: Brother Ali]
In the beginning was the word, and the word was the message
And the message was love
La ilaha il Allah
In the beginning was the word
Muhammad ar rasulullah
Habeebullah
Ya wadud
Uh
Said on and on and on, on
It go on and on and on, on, on
And the message was love

[Chorus: Brother Ali]
I promise you it's always love between us
Even if those are the ones that cut the deepest

[Verse 1: Brother Ali]
Speaking in earworms until my court feels adjourned
We whirlwind around the compass, let the needle turn
My north star my own heart and key concern
That's the truth I need to learn, confirm, and reaffirm
Watеr the seeds of my spirit that my ego burned
Peeking at thе wishing well, tryna sneak a turn
Speak in terms of the universal timeless
May these lines remind of the real ties that bind us
The feelings that lie underneath the disguises
The brilliance that dies in the secrets and silence
I'm fearless, I dive in it and bask in the plunge
And come back speaking in tongues over Anthony drums
I casted shadow on sun, touch the past just for fun
Catch an echo of an audience we massacred once
But my back not strapped with a grudge
The anguish doesn't live forever, but the gratitude does
[Chorus: Brother Ali]
And so it's always love between us
Even if those are the ones that cut the deepest

[Verse 2: Brother Ali]
Forgive me if I disengage
Any venom that I spit when I was in a rage
Simply tryna flip a page to a different stage
Tryna fit inside a living space I didn't create
Any castle can become a cage
If your name isn't on the real estate
It can get strange tryna grow into your realest state
You get loud and just complain or quietly feel away
Or try to renovate and if not, just escape
It isn't hate to simply want room
Can't spread your wings inside a cocoon
Bust out the womb even if you couldn't be you without 'em
Sometimes you couldn't become the next you around 'em
But love doesn't disintegrate
It doesn't mean that it was fake if it switches shape
The creator is the eternal everlasting
Every other last thing in existence change

[Chorus: Brother Ali]
But it's always love between us
Even if those are the ones that cut the deepest
A-N-T you a f***ing genius
[Outro: Brother Ali]
And on and on and on and on, on
And on and on, on, on, to the on
To the on, the on, on, on, the on, on
And the on and the on, on, on, the on, on
And on, on, on and on, on and on, and on
To the on, to the on, on, on, on and on
And on and on, and on and on
And the message was love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love
On, on and on, and on and on
Like hot butter on
Say what? The popcorn
The word was the message
This is a groovy party, man
And the message was—
