Inspired by a North African poem called Hubbu Taha, Muzzy Mike wrote A Little Man’s Plea with the hope of making a potent contribution to the English-speaking cultural legacy of Muslims. If the Almighty allows, it will be the first of many. 


Lyrics

I am just a little man
‎يالله الله الله
You're the one who really can
‎يالله الله الله
Even if I make a plan
‎يالله الله الله
It is always in your hands
‎يالله الله الله
So we travel through this land
‎يالله الله الله
Like some grains among the sand
‎يالله الله الله
Should we stumble on the way
‎يالله الله الله
Still to you we turn and pray
‎يالله الله الله

‎الصلوات الله على المصطفى واله
‎الصلوات الله على المجتبى واله
‎الصلوات الله على المصطفى واله
‎الصلوات الله على المجتبى

Born among the desert tribes
‎يالله الله الله
Never taking any bribes
‎يالله الله الله
He fulfilled his task in full
‎يالله الله الله
Peace and blessings on his soul
‎يالله الله الله
He's the one we stand behind
‎يالله الله الله
No one better can we find
‎يالله الله الله
Through the night and through the day
‎يالله الله الله
It is he who leads the way
‎يالله الله الله

‎الصلوات الله على المصطفى واله
‎الصلوات الله على المجتبى واله
‎الصلوات الله على المصطفى واله
‎الصلوات الله على المجتبى

From the cradle to the grave
‎يالله الله الله
It is best to be your slave
‎يالله الله الله
This is where the freedom lies
‎يالله الله الله
With the one who never dies
‎يالله الله الله
So we raise our hands and say
‎يالله الله الله
Please forgive us on this day
‎يالله الله الله
Should we stumble on the way
‎يالله الله الله
Still to you we turn and pray
‎يالله الله الله

‎الصلوات الله على المصطفى واله
‎الصلوات الله على المجتبى واله
‎الصلوات الله على المصطفى واله
‎الصلوات الله على المجتبى

A Little Man’s Plea

A song I wrote last year, starting with the chorus. It takes inspiration from a story of the famed master of Islam, Imam Malik ibn Anas (may Allah Almighty be pleased with him), in which he was approached by people from a faraway land with 40 questions about Islam. Despite being one of the most knowledgeable people of his time, he answered “I don’t know” to 36 of them, showing that knowledge is also knowing what you don’t know.

I Don’t Know

Peace In The Garden

Simply known as "M8", this EP is a musically bittersweet journey through the melancholy of goodbyes. All the songs were written, produced, and mixed by yours truly, so I hope you enjoy what the best of my efforts have produced here!

Who Would Go To The Moon? Lyrics:

And when the road is empty
Under an open sky
The scene completed by the fullest moon
We’ll take your final picture
Before the cameras fly
The ride is ready and it's going soon

Who would go to the moon?
Who, who?

He doesn't want you to go
What will it be?
He doesn't force you to stay
But are you free?
He doesn't want you to go
What will it be?
He doesn't force you to stay
But are you free?

Who would go to the moon?
Who, who?
Like who would go to the moon?
Who?

Who, who?

My Melancholic Melodies Make Me Merrier

Who Would Go To The Moon?

We're Coming For You Lyrics:

Waiting here to die
Or is there something to do?
Living out a lie
Until you find that it's true

Singing "Hu"
You know we're coming for you
Saying "Hu"
Can't get enough of the view

Before the call I hope I can say goodbye

Something's in my eye
I see it's something to do

Singing "Hu"
You know we're coming for you
Saying "Hu"
Can't get enough of the view
You know we're coming for you
You know we're coming for you

We're Coming For You

Until The End Lyrics:

The sky is darker than before
But I hope the sun will rise again
Another day for you and me my friend
Yet I wouldn't ask for more
If my time has come then time to say
Two words to free my soul until the end

I never wanted to die before
And still I hold to the life I live
So can I really free my soul?

Navigate through stranger circles
Still I keep my mind eternal
Disorient the world I see
But couldn't keep me from the key
So I'm making peace with inner demons
Slaughter those who see no reasons
Even if I lose the war
I'm looking forward to see beyond that door

I never wanted to die before
And still I hold to the life I live
So can I really free my soul?

The sky is darker than before
And yet I wouldn't ask for more

So I Say Lyrics:

Day after day I can taste on the pain
I keep it at bay by my will to remain
Even when I could begin to explain
Still, the pain has a hold on me
Sometimes it seems that I'm getting better
My heart chimes with what you say
And maybe it's true that I'm getting better
Or maybe I just can't stay

Huuuuu I'm going home
Huuuuu no time to roam
Huuuuu I'm going home
Huuuuu so I say shalom

Day after day I can witness the pain
Have fun in the world but does something remain?
Some say it's peace but they put you in chains
So it's war while I'm on my way

Huuuuu I'm going home
Huuuuu no time to roam
Huuuuu I'm going home
Huuuuu so I say shalom

So I Say

It's Not My Home Lyrics:

Did you go?
You tried to play that game again
You found the same old friend who only played pretend 
And then you found you're near the end
Whoa oh
I don't know
If any days ahead will change
I tried to rearrange and started feeling strange 
Until the game it got me, too
No oh

All the time that I think, I think I know
There were times that I said it's not my home
I said it's not my home
And all the ones that I love, I love you all
At the call I am going on my own
You're going on your own

Paid my dues, saw the news
The story seems the same
A man we know, who won the show,  a liar he became
As for me, still I see
Some people play the game
Hoping for something more
Please don't mess me aim
No oh

All the time that I think, I think I know
There were times that I said it's not my home
I said it's not my home
And all the ones that I love, I love you all
At the call I am going on my own
You're going on your own

I'd love to stay
But I cannot stay too long
So for now I sing my song
Still I pray
That we'll be together soon
In the garden by the moon

All the time that I think, I think I know
There were times that I said it's not my home
I said it's not my home
And all the ones that I love, I love you all
At the call I am going on my own
You're going on your own

Slowed-down and pitched-down version of my song, A Lotus, also with the percussion.
