SonofadamHear My Scream - funky rehearsal demo“Hear My Scream”
Spit it out
I've got to get it out
Explicitly, simplicity
Of religious truth
Can you find the proof
Of a contradictory, crucifictory episode
My mind explodes
When I read it wasn’t true
What am I to do without it
If I doubt it
Will I go to hell?
- chorus -
Hear my scream
Hear my cry
Raise me up
From the lies
Knock me out
Knock me down
Pick me up, with the truth
If there’s one religion
Then why so much division?
Keep it simple
Keep it plain
My point of view

Lyrics by Aaron Sellars, 9/26/2010
Written to the song, "Spark Attack" by Gororoxa
When you want to give up
Cuz you can't live it up
And you can't fill it up
It's fine
When nothing is fun
When you want to just run
And you think of a gun
It's fine
When you're feeling the stress
When you feel like a mess
And you wear the black dress
It's fine
When it aint on your side
When you want to just hide
And it doesn't subside
It's fine
When you feel in pain
When you stand in the rain

SonofadamWait a MinuteWAIT A MINUTE
I go to the beach
Whales dead on the shore
I’m raising my hands
Because I can’t take more
Trying to stay balanced
Trying to stay steady
If it wasn’t for Islam
I’d be dead already
And in my grave
Begging to return
What is life
But what you earn
So many forces
Trying to hold me back
From being my true self
I’m ready to attack
But before I do
I’ma call on the Lord
Now I’m putting flowers
On the tip of my sword
BUT WAIT A MINUTE!
They’re bombin...2016-04-1101 min
SonofadamWiseUp RiseUpWISE UP RISE UP
In school
Staring out the window
Daydreaming
In clouds of endo
You want to smile
But you can’t pretend though
You want to argue
What you can’t defend though
Push buttons
While you play Nintendo
Wasting time
While death crescendos
Find your purpose
And a cause to take up
One chance boy
Time to Wake Up!
Wise Up! Wise Up!
Rise On Up!
Wise Up! Wise Up!
Rise On Up! (2x)
Staring blankly
At the TV set
Searching for God
On the internet
Trying to swim
But you can’t get wet
You crave things...2016-04-1101 min
SonofadamPiece Of PeaceA PIECE OF PEACE
Far beyond
The west and east
What we need
Is a piece of peace
All invited
To a happy feast
What we serve
Is a piece of peace
Because I know
The sun will shine
And won’t discriminate
Between the good & bad
So why should we wait!?
Raging souls
A roaring beast
That must be tamed
By a piece of peace
Lowly souls
Can rise like yeast
Held up high
By a piece of peace
Because I know
The sun will shine
And won’t discriminate
Between the good & bad
So why should we wait?

New Era
War on Terror
Wipe your mascara
Look into the Mirror
Who’s the real terror?
Bin Ladden?
Or John Madden?
While you’re PLAYing on your STATION
DREAMs are being CAST
Of false hopes and illusions
That will never last
The Baby Boomers
Gave birth to consumers
But inflation’s going up
Swelling up like a tumor
I’ma go to Jumuah (Friday prayer)
While you’re going to the mall
Can’t get enough
Even though you got it all!
Stand tall child of Adam!
Your father was a Prophet
Consumption is addictive

SonofadamDon't Become What You HateOne of the first songs I wrote after the September 11th tragedy.
DON’T BECOME WHAT YOU HATE
Hate Crimes
Blowing up like land mines
But on American soil
Perpetrated by people who dare to wave
The stars and stripes
Follow the truth not the hype
Tearing the scarves off the heads
Of pious Muslim women
To me, that’s kind of scary
Especially when they dress like Mary
Hmmm, you better show some respect
And if not, you better take that cross off your neck
The age of hypocrisy must end
Then-and only then can we transcend
To a leve...2016-04-1003 min
SonofadamKnow Me For Who I Am (DEMO)Know Me for Who I Am
lyrics by Aaron Haroon Sellars
9/21/2014
When I first heard the song, “The Great Syrup Accident” by Ben Shepherd, it immediately pricked the unspoken emotions I was feeling in that moment and triggered the title chorus line. After some sampling, looping and rearranging, the rest of the lyrics bellow came out. Thanks and credit to Ben for the talent, original arrangement, inspiration and being a means for me to articulate and release these feelings. Original rights are his.
Sometimes I find myself
In a situation
I don’t know what it means

Get over on him
Sick Rover on him
Inflate him and pop him
Uplift him and drop him
Steal his humor
But call him a clown
Snatch his smile
Just to make him frown
Size him up
To size him down
Stomp him with Timberlands

SonofadamFar AwayFAR AWAY
Excuse me sister
Can I whisper
A little truth in your ear?
It’s no mystery
Through history
All the signs are clear
Times are so wack
Got dogs on Prozac
And everyone feels under
A false depression
Learn the lesson
The devil’s got your number
And the war is adjacent
But you’re complacent
It’s just another channel
So just turn the station
And keep erasing
Pain you can’t dismantle
Sometimes I want fly,
Far away!
And then I pray
Oh let me stay!
Another day (2x)
Excuse me Mister
Can I whisper

Hard to Say Goodbye
by Aaron Haroon Sellars
7/2011
It's hard to say goodbye
When you're in love
But if we try
We will be
Together for eternity
And we'll see
What no eye
Has ever seen
And no ear
Has ever heard
And no mind
Can conceive
And the greatest of it all
Is we'll behold the Lord
And then we'll feel complete
So hold your tears
And hold my hand
And we'll walk
Toward righteous land
Until we reach our true goal

Guitar by Yohosame Cameron
Listen up as I whisper,
whisper in your ear
I don't have, all the answers
But what I feel, is so clear
As my life ticks away
And memories start to dry
I can't escape, death is chasing
But one day death will die
Come with me to a place
Where I feel whole, I feel safe
Come with me to a place
Where I see truth, see Your Face
I may be far and I wander
But in your love I am near
Self-consumed in my mirror

SonofadamDemo - Message In A BottleMessage In A Bottle
by Aaron Haroon Sellars, aka "SonofAdam"
Demo recorded on, 09/18/2006
I'm walking down the sidewalk
And what do I smell?
Somebody rolled a fat one
And lit it up as well
It made me feel sad
Not because I want to hit it
It made me feel sad
Because I wish he would have hid it
I'm looking at the kid
Around his ankle with the bottle
And thinking to myself
"This is his only role mode!?"
Will he ever learn about
His own true potential?
Will he learn the things in life
That are essential
