I’ve Seen (Outlandish feat. Sami Yusuf)

Sami Yusuf ( Chorus ) :

I wish you were here

here next to me

We missing you so… so desperately

But lately I feel like you feel

and I see what you see how Im missing you..

What happend to the Ummah once known so well?

-Sami Yusuf ( Chorus )-

-Waqas :

What happend to the Ummah once known so well?

Greatness was known but now can you tell

You used to inspire others with your way of thinking and speech

People came from afar just to hear us teach

…

-Waqas-

Mosques are empty, refrigerators are stocked

We lost our deen, we feel secure because our mansions are locked

In my teen years salat really wasnt that tight

Now i gotta pray each one of them twice

.…

-Waqas-

Brother we prefer light skinned women

while righteously maintain our deen against raicism (and tribalism)…Isam

What happend to the Ummah once known so well?

Greatness was known but now can you tell

-Sami Yusuf ( Chorus )-

-Waqas-

Kids in Africa starving cant afford to cry

I’ll pay the bank interest on a car I cant afford to buy

…

-Waqas-

We used to smile at each other with faces full of light

Now we frown on each other, we bicker, and we fight

Pops in the mosque praying,

kids in the streets haitin

kids on the corner selling pot and in the mosque preaching

……

-Waqas-

The Quran has left our hearts - stranded hanging on our walls

6,232 verses so strong

9 out of 10 of us cant even read it or write

1924 seems distand like way before Christ

-Sami Yusuf ( Chorus )-

que le paso a la masa como puede ser

la grandesa conosida no la puedo ber

he bisto como mi figura cahe en tentation

al pesar que la vida ha esido buena con luce e ilusion

he bebido! perdon por mis pecados

tengo la cruce sobre mi cama

e il diablo a mi lado

que le paso a la masa como puede ser

la bellesa conosida no la puedo ber

e sentido incompetentia buscando la verdad

todos disen conoserla solo beo la maldad

que le paso a la masa como puede ser

la puressa conosida no la puedo ber

translation:

what happened to the uma how can that be?

the greatness known once i can’t see it no more

i have seen my eyes falling in temptation

although life has given me light and ilussions

i have drinked!forgiveness for my sins

i have the cross on the wall over my bed

and the devil at my side

what happened to the uma how can that be?

the beauty i known i can’t see it no more

i have felt the incompetence in my way to truth

everybody pretends to know it, but all i see is evil

what happened to the uma how can that be?

the purity i known i can’t see it no more

-Isam :

If I was to fall on my knees and ask you to forgive everything and anyone out of love for the one… oh3

I’ve seen..

And if you were to fall on your knees and ask me the same but I dont even think about it…, lets just break out of the darkness of ignorance.

-Sami Yusuf ( Chorus ) x2-
