[Verse 1: Muslim Belal]
This young boy claims that it's hard to maintain
’Cause he gets discriminated due to race
And this young girl says they don't judge her by her brain
Too busy looking at her body and her face
Let's talk about life, let’s talk about love
If we talk about love, then we should talk about us
And if we talk about us, we need to talk about growth
They talk about you, when they should talk about both
It's easier to hate now, and harder to care
We used to offer help, now we gossip and stare
Comment, like, swipe, share
Hate used to be rare, now you see it everywhere
Man wants to be radical and take away life
Behaving like an animal, you see it in his eyes
Load up his weapon, walk in, aim
51 body count, like a computer game
And we wanna share the video to what, entertain?
Lost in the crowd, watching life on a stage
It's a terrible state, yesterday was heartbreak
Today she's back on YouTube, putting makeup on her face
And the men are all the same, but I don't complain
We don't help each other, we just slander and shame
Do something good, they forget about your name
When you do something bad, watch how fast you find fame
Inside the body, there's a piece of flesh
If this flesh is good, then also is the rest
Verily, it is the heart! What a life, Ya Allah
Sitting here wishing that I could press restart
[Chorus: Omar Esa]
People kill and people dying
Children hurt and you hear them crying
Do you practice what you preach?
Or do you turn the other cheek?
Allah, Allah, Allah, help us
Send us guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questioning
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
The love, the love
[Verse 2: Talk Islam]
What happened to the love and what happened to the peace
We got wars in the streets, and wars in the Middle East
Gunshots, bombs drop, people flee
And now we have millions of refugees, that are scattered overseas
And I’ve become numb to the tragedies
As we add another number to the casualties
Another kid gets stripped from his family
I’m asking myself what has happened to humanity
And they want to talk to us about terrorism?
Despite the killings by the far-right and white supremacism
But I guess all that is irrelevant to the President
Of the USA, who wants to make America great
But all he's ever done was make America hate
And gun crime is at its highest ever rate
Mosques get shot, and schools get sprayed
And nothing’s gonna change, when politicians are paid
By the NRA
And we wonder why they're so corrupt
But it's okay, 'cause In God We Trust
And even if He’s all we got, we got everything we need
As the Prophet ﷺ told us
You will never enter paradise until you believe
And you will never believe, until you start to love
And in order to love, you need to spread the peace
[Bridge: Omar Esa]
We need some peace and quiet in this world
So tired of the fighting and the wars
Put the knives down, put the guns down
Stop the mothers crying 'cause her child's gone now
Stop the killing, 'cause nobody's winning
Can we stop the sinning, tell me where is the love?
[Chorus: Omar Esa]
People kill and people dying
Children hurt and you hear them crying
Do you practice what you preach?
Or do you turn the other cheek?
Allah, Allah, Allah, help us
Send us guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questioning
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
The love, the love
[Verse 3: Essam]
Too comfortable with the way that we living
We forget about the orphanage children
Poverty a weapon, doing all the killing
Desensitised is the way that we feeling
Being silent is a form of abuse
When my people end up dead on the news
Television telling lies in disguise of the truth
Make a difference with these words, is my oath in the booth
Yeah, never divide, gotta unite against this hate
Leaving mosques in bodybags, and headed straight to heaven's gates
Tryna survive
Victim or oppressor, choose a side
Aiming for the physical, but never gonna kill the faith
Our legacy gon' live forever
If one of us is cold, we gon' lend a sweater
Feet to feet, stand strong, ten toes on the carpet
Though we ain't blood, break bread if you starving
Where was the love for the villages in Mali
Selective with your mourning, so we see through your sorry
Assimilate into the system, standing for what's right
Left Ilhan ridiculed, just 'cause she's a hijabi
Haven't forgot about the families in Palestine
Rohingyas getting burned alive in Burma
Muslims put in concentration camps in China
These situations that you probably never heard of
Islam's the fastest growing religion
White supremacists playing a part in spreading the message
If we are how we're portrayed, then everybody would be finished
I set the record like Guinness, never framing our image
[Chorus: Omar Esa]
People kill and people dying
Children hurt and you hear them crying
Do you practice what you preach?
Or do you turn the other cheek?
Allah, Allah, Allah, help us
Send us guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questioning
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
The love, the love
