Tie Your Camel, Trust In God (Interlude) Lyrics

In Islam we have a saying

It is, tie your camel and then trust in God

In other words, handle your business, first

Secure what you're supposed to secure

Do what you're supposed to do

And then trust

You don't sit back and do nothin and say

Oh, the Creator is gonna pay this bill for me

You mess around, right, and hit the light switch

And it don't come on

So we have to handle our business, man

This is the first day, today

I'm still tryna adjust to gettin up at four o' clock

For the early prayer

And then shortly thereafter

Not having anything to eat or drink since 5:30

And man, I feel like I'm thirstier than I've ever been

Like I'm on a desert on something

But

I been doin this for many, many years

So I know what it does to you

And the good things, well all the things are good

But some of them, they not too comfortable

I don't like being hungry

But I like feeling what people that don't have no food

I like feeling a little bit of what they feel

I think that's something all of us should connect to

On some level

Even though, man

We eat a lot of food

And we should really be careful of that

Because there are people that just don't have food

That even die of hunger

So it really elevates your consciousness

In terms of being able to connect

With the value and the blessing of food

And the turmoil and the life

Of those that are hungry
