Amir Sulaiman - Secret Art lyrics

I've yet to learn the secret art Of having peace at heart I take the angst and the anger, make a piece of art And then I speak it, and I share it, and the piece departs To find its home in the warmth of the people's hearts If I don't have peace with me, how can I have peace with God? It's all or nothing; you can't worship a piece of God In fact, the piece of God's a facade where the secrets are You worship God, remember God, until you're seeing God And then your hearing and your seeing end up being God And your hands and your feet end up being God The human being, God Only if the human beings knew who the human beings are My Lord I've got a soft spot for widows and k**ers For orphans and oracles, for the saints and the sinners For prophets and n***as Every sura's a picture Every word is a sentence Every sign is a scripture This world, this life is mostly lies and fitna Everything in this world is cursed except for those who remember So I opened the universe and wrote a poem in the center A post-it note, you hold it close like your coat in the winter This'll make the sky blush and make outer space spasm Take the head of the devil, turn his castle to a chasm .44 magnum in my Wird-ul-Lazim Since before Adam and before atoms A-T-O-M A-D-A-M Before B.C., A.D A.M. P.M Carpe Diem T-H-E-M [?] A spirit, I could hear but I couldn't see him Said "play Madison Square!" but I ain't believe him Said "you'll sell out the garden, straight Adam and Eve 'em!" "Then kick out the devil just to make you even."
