Abu Huraira's Rap

I'm homeboy sapiens africanus;
We can't understand why you can't understand us.
I work twice as hard just to get half as far,
but my dream was your nightmare so I'm living in my car.

I just got laid off with seven hundred others
but still I'm better off than a lot of my brothers.
Now's the time of waiting for a network tap
like the time between the lightning and the thunder clap.

My bag is esoteric but my fame is international.
I gotta cash in quickly while my IGES skills are fashionable.
For just an ounce of gold I'll be your servant for a day.
Software Imagineering; do it my way!

Nothing lasts forever 'cept the earth and sky,
so this will also pass in the blink of an eye.
I'm thankful and I gotta say that ain't no lie,
'Cause except for the Grace of Allah, there go I.

Believe in The One Who Gives the Gift of Belief
even tho' at times it seems to lead to nothing but grief.
Salvation ain't as easy as acquiring a habit;
if He'd put it in a bottle everyone would have it.
