    As a name, that is the meaning of "Ameen" is "faithful and trustworthy" but also the word “Ameen or Amen” is used by the Muslims, Christians and Jewish people as declaration just after their prayers. It literally means “so be it”. They say Ameen/Amen after prayers because they want their prayers to be fulfilled by God. It is similar to the word “Tathastu” in Sanskrit. It is also my first name. During the Islamic holy month of Ramadan I found it fitting to drop these shirts. Go grab one while they last! (Cotton Polyester blend to ensure no shrinking or fading!)

lyrics

I been in a daze for days
The sky trickles painful grays
Tryna find a way to find a way as I blaze my jays
Scuffed Jordan more important than a scuffed human
Scuffle with the law it's unjust what they're just doing, fuck em'
How can you be mad at me when I say that
How many damn Instagram videos you gone play back
How many more dollars you gone save for that Maybach
To drive it right back to the streets police spray at, hm
How many more lost lives
You would think the president got mob ties shit he probably do
Reporting from the edge of the block live
Where they block live videos online trying to show the truth, uh
How many more marches
How many more Aprils and Mays how many more Marches
How many more signs, how many more signs
Do you understand
Whether insinuated from the sky or held in your hand, how many
How many more sentences can I write down
How many more sentences can they give
How many more times you gotta hear Black Lives Matter before we can actually let a black live live
How many more shares until you care
About the militant Middle East but you're not there so why
Why would it bother you
How many more blind eyes will we turn as they burn entire towns down like
Do what you gotta do, what
How many more songs do I gotta write
How many more swings til' we're in the fight
How many more times do I gotta say how many for you to realize
How many damn people are on the wrong side of, right
The first European wasn't white
And I don't know shit about the black man plight
And you don't know shit about a Palestinian
But I guarantee you can decipher the daytime from the night
See that's how we're treated, in comparison
How many mother fucking people gone pretend that they're American
Without standing up for what we stand for
How many more human being deaths to make the human being care again

I’ve been knocked down and undermined
When there’s a war what is it good for
You’ve seen it thousands of times
How many more, how many more

How many more times do I gotta explain I’m mixed
How many more times do I gotta hear the word spic
How many times will I be told I might be latino but I act white so
I can fit in with your click, bull shit
How many times will I be disappointed cause the point is totally missed
Whiff, need to globally shift
Stick, together in gear sever the fear
Built on propaganda to cleverly steer
Everyone apart from everyone that’s dark
This, the question, how many more people will be missing the lesson
Trick question, you can’t be taught oppression if it's never a part of the lesson
So how many people are left with a misconception
All of em', the fault is in our forefathers when they claimed this country
Without bothering to put in any dollars and
Built off the back of blacks and took the profits and
Built it into the system with no intention of ever stopping it
How many blacks are affected from their history of being enslaved, all of 'em
Why is it so hard to admit how many people are harboring
Racist ass thoughts, all of 'em
They’re lost within a culture of lies they were taught as facts
How long is it 'til we can rewrite the books, who’s stalling this
Why wouldn’t you want a proper education
How wrong is it to keep waiting, very
How many times do I gotta worry
For my dark skinned brothers and sisters taking an early trip to the cemetery
How fucked up is it that anyone has that worry
How thick is your dumb skull and how God damn blurry
Is your vision to be living in a false reality I’m livid
At the amount of people that can’t see the agenda that’s hidden
Racism is real when it is winning
And it’s been the same since the beginning
The systems not something that needs fixing
It needs to be demolished and rebuilt
How many are committed
How many say Black Lives Matter just to better their analytics
How many more senseless killings
How many reckless villains
How many breathless civilians
How much injustice must there be before the rest become willing
To help the restless healing and accept that dealing
With this mess is best when it isn’t met with your aggressive feelings
This isn’t out of the blue
How many all lives matter before I smack the shit out of you
How many point to the effect without lookin at the cause
And how many are pointing guns that were appointed by the law

I’ve been knocked down and undermined
When there’s a war what is it good for
You’ve seen it thousands of times
How many more, how many more
