I've Seen Lyrics - Closer Than Veins - Outlandish

I wish you were here 

Here next to me 

Been missing you so 

So desperately 

But lately I feel 

Like you feel 

And I see what you see 

How Im missing you 

What happened to the ummah? 

Once known so well 

I wish you were here 

Here next to me 

Been missing you so 

So desperately 

But lately I feel 

Like you feel 

And I see what you see 

How Im missing you 

What happened to the ummah? 

Once known so well 

Greatness was known 

But now can you tell? 

Used to inspire others 

With our way of thinking and speech 

People came from afar 

Just to hear us teach 

Yo, what happened to the ummah? 

Once known so well 

Greatness was known 

But now can you tell? 

Mosques are empty 

Refrigerators are stocked 

We lost our deen, we feel secure 

Cause our mansions are locked 

In my teen years 

Salah wasnt really that tight 

Now I gotta pray 

Each one of them twice 

What happened to the ummah? 

Once known so well 

Greatness was known 

But now can you tell? 

Brother, we prefer 

Light skinned women 

While righteously maintaining 

Our deen against racism 

What happened to the ummah? 

Once known so well 

Greatness was known 

But now can you tell? 

I wish you were here 

Here next to me 

Been missing you so 

So desperately 

But lately I feel 

Like you feel 

And I see what you see 

How Im missing you 

What happened to the ummah? 

Once known so well 

Greatness was known 

But now can you tell? 

Kids in Africa are starving 

Cant afford to cry 

Ill pay interest for a car 

I cant afford to buy 

What happened to the ummah? 

Once known so well 

Greatness was known 

But now can you tell? 

We used to smile at each other 

With faces full of light 

Now we frown at each other 

We bicker and we fight 

Pops in the mosque praying 

Kids in the streets hating 

Kids on the corner selling 

Pops in the mosque preachin 

What happened to the ummah? 

Once known so well 

Greatness was known 

But now can you tell? 

The Quran has left out hearts stranded 

Hanging on out walls, 6232 verses, so strong 

9 out of 10 of us cant even read or write 

1924 feels distant like way before Christ 

I wish you were here 

Here next to me 

Been missing you so 

So desperately 

But lately I feel 

Like you feel 

And I see what you see 

How Im missing you 

Que le pas a la maza 

Como puede ser 

La grandeza conocida 

No la puedo ver 

He visto como mi figura cae en tentacin 

A pesar de que la vida a sido buena con luz e ilusion 

He pedido perdn por mis pecados 

Tengo la cruz sobre mi cama y el diablo a mi lado 

Que le pas a la maza 

Como puede ser 

La belleza conocida 

No la puedo ver 

He sentido incompetencia buscando la verdad 

Todos dicen conocerla solo veo la maldad 

Que le pas a la maza 

Como puede ser 

La pureza conocida 

No la puedo ver 

If I was to fall on my knees 

And ask you to forgive everything for the Lord 

Out of love for the one 

Oh, oh, oh, I've seen 

And if you were to fall on ya knees 

And ask me the same 

Brother, dont even think about it 

Lets just break out of the darkness of ignorance 

I wish you were here 

Here next to me 

Been missing you so 

So desperately 

But lately I feel 

Like you feel 

And I see what you see 

How Im missing you
