Redmeption

I used to say c'est la vie, que sera sera
 And wish that I could be this super duper rap star
 Drive around the planet from New York to London
 Take it for granted that it could never get redundant
 Now where the fun went?
 That dumb ish is played out
 To hell with stunts and blunts and tryin' to stay out
 I fade out from that lifestyle to retirement
 Cause we all called to a higher environment
 Than the club scene drinkin' down gin and juice
 With a fogged mind, you don't wonder what your sin produce
 Nine months later with a shorty though
 And you still tryin' to cling to your 40, no
 I want true mission and submission
 And never say a word without the most high permission
 Now listen, ain't nothin' deep for us to understand
 Put the nonsense down and be a man
 Redemption
 Peep science and reflect
 And seek the divine, refine and perfect
 Time we receive we really don't earn
 So each day I promise to Allah to stand firm
 What will the day bring? I don't know, can't front
 But if I listen close God will tell me what He want
 Now some say the message in their ear ain't clear
 Maybe what He's tellin' you, you ain't tryin' to hear
 I see the straight path before me, but walkin' it is difficult
 The nature of life is just just and reciprocal
 You reap what you sew my brother
 "But the times are tough"
 "Yo, I know my brother"
 To guard against sin, you see I gotta close ranks
 And still coexist with all who give thanks
 Become an old man and find a straight path
 We argue over names, some debate and math
 But you see God is one
 One Earth and one seed, one word
 So brother you must read
 The information that you need has been written
 Any knowledge I speak, is definitely bitten
 So I'm a proud biter and reciter of news
 A writer who will try to reach higher haiku's
 Just a plain one, tryin' to shed a little light
 As long as we're alive we can make wrong's right
