It was the third of Muharram (Allahu Akbar)
That day that'll always leave scarrin' (Yes, it will)
Cause that was the day that my sister died
I never got a chance to see her
Never heard nothing but bad things about her
Mullah, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
Mullah just hung his head and said

Your papa was a-throwin' stones
Cause your sister brought shame to his home
(And when she died) Shari'ah said she was atoned
Your papa was a-throwin' stones
Cause your sister brought shame to his home
(And when she died) Shari'ah said she was atoned

Hey Mullah, Is it true what they say that Wafah was never veiled
A day in her life
And Mullah, bad talk going around the clan that Wafah had three outside classes
And wouldn't become a wife (and that ain't right)
Heard talk about Wafah doing some bazaar praying
Talking about giving praise, and all the time swaying
Showing her arms and tempting in the name of Allah
Mullah just fingered his beads and said

Your papa was a-throwin' stones, my Sunni
Cause your sister brought shame to his home
(And when she died) Shari'ah said she was atoned
Your papa was a-throwin' stones
Cause your sister brought shame to his home
(And when she died) Shari'ah said she was atoned

Hey Mullah, I heard Wafah say she wouldn't take any man's shit
Tell me, is that what sent Wafah to the stoning pit?
Folks say Wafah would beg, borrow, or steal to stay in school
Hey Mullah, folks say Wafah wasn't much on shrinking
Spent most of her time confronting old ways of thinking
Mullah, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
Mullah just looked at me with his two blind eyes and said "Sunni"

Your papa was a-throwin' stones (wa'il, wa'il, kull wa'il)
Cause your sister brought shame to his home (ya-maa)
And when she died
SHARI'AH said she was atoned .. atoned, atoned, atoned, atoned
Your papa was a throwin' stones
Cause your sister brought shame to his home
And when she died, Shari'ah she was atoned ...
