Amir Sulaiman, Maimouna Youssef, D Smoke - Yes to the Sky Lyrics

The great lie
The great lie is that cowardice lengthens life
While courage shortens it
But we say yes to the sky
The true and living knows the devil is a lie
And also knows that death is a lie
At least the death they threaten you with
Know that you can arrive in heaven alive
We say yes to the sky
Banging on the devil until Allah decrees that I die
And I pray then that my daughters know that I tried
I had to deal with the enemies both outside and inside my heart and my mind
As well as the devil who feasts on the deaf dumb and the blind
From among jinn and men like Quran's finishing line
We say yes to the sky
We say yes to the sky
My greatest trials turned to be blessings disguised
Who cares how you appear in their eyes
We deal with Dajjal until the messiah arrives
Cowards die every day but martyrs survive
Cowards die every day but martyrs survive
So with my weapon in hand
Staring death in the eye
With my head to the sky
La illaha illallah
Whisper

Yes to the sky
Yes to the sky
Blessed to reflect like vignettes of spilled dye
While tears form pools that reach about mid-thigh
This guy wears disguise because I've sighed until I blink
And drips fall from my disc eyes
And when they're closed like fists I
Can drift high like mist
Like mist
Gifts guide from the depths buried and kept
Imprisoned by my flesh hoping God call me collect
Envisioned pleasant journey all I got was a wreck
Running fast pursuing cash and all I got was a check
Escaped the long arm of the law I guess they more like T Rex
Oh wait
Renting the house still want to plant a new tree
Working the land with dirty hands and new sneaks
Many life lessons come for free but few cheap
Like autumn naked branches trying turn a new leaf
Yes to the sky
Yes to the sky
Blessed to reflect like vignettes of spilled dye
While Tears form pools that reach about mid-thigh
This guy wears disguise because I've sighed until I blink

Yes to the sky
Yes to the sky
Here is a soul salve for battle torn
Who fought a holy war called holy matrimony
And lived to tell the story then went back for more
Because love is the only thing worth fighting for
Yes love is the only thing that worth fighting for
A little lavender oil for the matador
I hold my rosy, red heart out for you to aim for
Because every ounce I pour into your soul I gain more
You the pain cure so I remain pure
And make space in my heart for the main course
Make space in my heart for the main course
I make space in my heart
Keep that thing gorge
A closed mouth don't get fed
A closed fist don't get gifts shared
And closed heart attacks itself and gets dead
Just living in my own head
Nursing my wounds with my own fear
Subhanahu wa ta'ala know better
Absorb another Ayat then I'm better
Press my face to the ground before I sit up
I love the way your love keeps me lit up
Oh you're half of my deem so I'm committed to however this thing ends up

Just show me the way
Yes to the sky
Yes to the sky
Lead me to love
Lead me to love
Yeah
Show me the way
Ah ha
Lead me to love
Lead me to love
Show me the way
Yes to the sky
Yes to the sky
Teach me to love
Like you do
Show me the way
Lead me to love
Yes to the sky
Yes to the sky
Show me the way
Lead me to love
Lead me to love
