Part 1
HOOK:
Dear Abraham, why do your children cause so much mayhem?
Why so much violence in order to save them?
Why enslave pagans in order to serve him?
This is the Story of the Children of Abraham
Verse 1:
Once upon a time, a man created the trinity
Sent missionaries out to prove his divinity
Prophesied war on unbelievers to show his ability
Killing pagans until they submit to his ministry
In search of land, the Pope sent out an edith
Claiming, enslaving the Negro may be a good business to compete in
A new source of Church revenue is sorely much needed
Because loans from Judah has left us depleted
The Cross came before the sword
Claiming these lands in the name of my Lord
We are Brothers in Christ, don’t worry about these new reforms
For your afterlife will be blessed with gold and rewards
What missing kinsmen do you speak of?
The word of Jesus is nothing to be critiqued of
Their servitude is in service of our Lord
And may their sacrifice multiply blessings in one accord
(Amen)
HOOK (2x)
Dear Abraham, why do your children cause so much mayhem?
Why so much violence in order to save them?
Why enslave pagans in order to serve him?
This is the Story of the Children of Abraham

PART 2
Verse 2
The targets of countless atrocities,
Sold off and auctioned for bargaining
From Every Caliphate, Egypt to Damascus
Many Arabs took part in the practice
Forced castration on Afrikan nations,
War for the Men, Women fed to the rapists
Those colonial racists
treated Negros subhuman the day they were taken
History’s eye will uncover the haze
Sultans would thrive from enslavement,
Nubia barely survived, forced to provide
slave blood under threat of invasion
The Zanj rebelled, spilled blood for freedom
but no cruelty spared were slaughtered beaten
commoditized human lives for millenia,
Mosques erected from slave bones buried up
OUTRO (Spoken in Arabic from Hadith Sahih Al Bukhari 7142)
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “You should listen to and obey, your ruler even if he was an Ethiopian (black) slave whose head looks like a raisin.”
