Womb

Hook (Danny Raphael)

Hebrew:

Elokai neshama shnatata bi, taharo hi

Ata barata, ata yatsarta, ata nafachta bi

[Translation:

My G-d, the soul you have given me is pure and perfect

You created it, you shaped it and you breathed it into me]

Verse 1 (Danny Raphael)

Just imagine that it never would’ve happened

That my mother and father actually met

Were naturally led thru the path so blessed

To the magic of the moment where they met in bed

The masculine and feminine the forces united

The aspects of G-d that our lonliness hides

And I am the fruit of that miracle that happens every day

So I speak the truth, when I rap I straight pray

To the One who decreed that my parents should meet

At the time and the place that resulted in me

You understand, nothing is random,

G-d is right with us like we’re riding in tandem

You taught me what I needed to know for the secret to grow

It’s a process you can’t control

It’s only thru submission in true humility

That I can manifest the beauty you’ve given me

(Hook)

Verse 2 (Mohammed Yahya)

I praise god for the blessing

Having you as my parent

Cause the lessons that you taught me I forever will cherish

In the darkness of your womb

I resided for nine months

Foetus to a baby

I’ll embrace you when time comes

I know you carefully protected this jewel you held inside

Surrounded by a civil war

We struggled to survive

Gunshots echoed through the darkness of the night

If it wasn’t for Allah

We wouldn’t be alive mummy

I pray that your soul is free

One day flying through the gates of Jannah

While I await for my fate like the Jews before receiving mannah

The pain can be a blessing

Reflecting a self lesson

From the flesh to the spirit

In essence we’re all connected

May our lord reunite our souls once again

And we’ll reside in heavens garden with rivers flowing right beneath them

(Hook)

Verse 3 ((Danny Raphael)

From the start of the process when my dad planted the seed

You been taking care of my every little need

And while I sat a foetus in my mother’s stomach

You taught me about fear and how to overcome it

And no, I don’t know what comes after death,

But I’ll flow into that just like I’m taking a breath

It’s the same when we’re born and we leave an environment

Designed to satisfy our every requirement

See the womb is the perfect place for us to grow

But if we never left that home, then we would never know

What’s closed must open, what’s open must closed

The lungs start to work and the blood must flow

So the heart starts pumping and the consciousness grow

Then an angel come make us forget what we know

And all this happens in a fraction of a second

So yeh, I give thanks for these manifest blessings
