Sun is blazing hot, there's no shade to be found
six kids, so hungry as they all cry out loud
i can't give them nothing but love & reassurance
while we walk to the camps and await our fate..
I am jihad
The pain is getting hard to bare, the baby wants to come out but help is nowhere near
death is probably at my doorstep as this baby rips through me.
the baby cries but i can't lean over and hold it as I am too weak inside
blood continues to leak and i just lay there awaiting my fate
I am jihad
I look out on and see nothing but conflict
every night i cry my hungry self to sleep
i miss my family haven't seen them in weeks
my age doesn't matter as my body is failing
no food, no water, no hope, no future
as i crawl back into my self and await my fate
I am jihad
they cut off my limbs for crimes i didn't commit
i follow my religion and abstain from what Allah has forbid
but my words fall short as they come back to cut me some more
darkness now a reality as i am locked away
so i sit there awaiting my fate
I am jihad
Knowledge i have, now power i must obtain
i want my name to be said by all, i want my share of fame
brain wash a couple of people, now my plan is in motion.. lets blow up some buildings
I am not jihad
I am the reason Muslim's everywhere are criticized
I am the reason Islam is now seen as a threat
I am the reason terrorism is associated with Islam
I am the reason a peaceful religion is now hated by many
like i said before I am not jihad and this is not Islam
