Labayk

Chorus

Labayk Allah, Huma Labayk.

It's a journey for Allah that I wanna make.

Bound to the sound when the Hajjis go round,

In the place where we face they put their heads to the ground.

Bowin' in submission with conviction of steel.

It's a feeling of peace, I someday hope I can feel

When the month it comes around, its called the month Dhul-Hij

People come from every place on this planet to do it.

It's the Hajj, is a journey to the house of Allah

Where over two million different people come from near and from far...

By car, and by boat and by plane and by the camel

Some brothers even do it by foot just with a sandal.

But when they arrive and then city just glows.

You'll understand the reasoning why everyone goes

Seeking forgiveness from Allah, in every step that they take

Here I am for my creator, Yah they cry out labayk

Chorus

From Madinah to Musdelifa, sights that you never saw,

Best of all the trips ain't nothing less that I will settle for

Dawn of lhram, where we all put on white,

Putting on the sheets so that we all look alike

Doing tawaf around the Qaba kissin' the black stone if you can,

But you haven't done nothing till you've done Zam-Zam

Gettin' on that bus so you can get to Arafat,

Getting all those pebbles used to stone the Jamarat.

Pacing back and forth between the Saffa and the Marwah

Commemorating what was done for Ishmael by Hajar

Sacrifice a lamb then go ahead and shave your head

Joining in the feasting after all the prayers are said.

Now nothing beats this trip not even Taj Mahal

Cause there's Africans, Indonesians from Egypt and all,

I'm looking forward to this trip I someday hope I can make

Here I am for my creator and when I cry out Labayk
