My God is Greater


Who Ya Gonna Call (on)...?

Someone Else.










So before I get involved in anything nowadays, I have to straighten out my own position, which is clear. I am not a racist in any form whatsoever. I don't believe in any form of racism. I don't believe in any form of discrimination or segregation. 

I believe in Islam. I am a Muslim. And there's nothing wrong with being a Muslim, nothing wrong with the religion of Islam. 

It just teaches us to believe in Allah as the God. Those of you who are Christians probably believe in the same God, because I think you believe in the God who created the universe. 

That's the One we believe in, the one who created the universe, the only difference being you call Him God and I--we call Him Allah. The Jews call him Jehovah. If you could understand Hebrew, you'd probably call him Jehovah too. If you could understand Arabic, you'd probably call him Allah.


But since The White Man, your "friend," took your language away from you during slavery, the only language you know is his language. 

You know, your friend's language. 

So you Call for the same God He calls for. 

When He's putting a rope around your neck, 
You Call for 'God' 
and He Calls for 'God'. 

And You wonder why the one You call on never answers You...

So that once you realize that I believe in the Supreme Being who created The Universe, and believe in him as being One--I also have been taught in Islam that one God only has one religion, and that religion is called Islam, and all of the prophets who came forth taught that religion--Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Mohammed, all of them. 


And by believing in one God 
and one religion 
and all of the prophets, 
it creates unity. 


Sasha, Spirit of Vengance :
They can use us here. 

[Sighs] 

Just once, we sit one out. 

Someone Else... 

Abraham, The Father of Nations :
It should be us. 

Sasha, Spirit of Vengance :
Maggie's gotta take care of Maggie.

It felt Real. 
It felt Real. 
Like we lost This.

[Sighs

And This just started.

[Sighs, sniffles] 

Abraham, The Father of Nations :
C'mon. 

Sasha, Spirit of Vengance :
Wait.

[Sighs


Abraham, The Father of Nations :
I like the way you call bullshit.
So let me return The Favour. 
The next thing you're gonna tell me is that you'll go and that I can stay. 

Because I know you didn't like hearing yourself just say that, 

"Maggie's Gotta Take Care of Maggie." 

I know those words are gonna choke in your ears a good, long while 
and you're gonna wanna make up for even thinking that. 

Am I right? 


Yeah. 


Abraham, The Father of Nations :
We lay our Big Meaties across the chopping block ahead of Someone Else's. 

It's always for Someone Else. 

Both of us know, 
if we're gonna kick, there sure as Hell better be a point to it. 

So maybe we feel there was a-a point to all of this. 

Alpha to Omega. 

Whether it's on The Battlefield 
or The Beach 
or Somewhere Out There today. 

Maggie -- She's carrying The Future. 


Sasha, Spirit of Vengance :
You're Right. 
[Sniffles] 
I knew how this was gonna end. 

Abraham, The Father of Nations :
C'mon. Layin' your ass on the line for Someone Else, 
tearin' it to shreds for 'em -- 
You said it before. 

Oh, my, That is Living. 

[Chuckles] 

Sasha, Spirit of Vengance :
You're an idiot. 

Abraham, The Father of Nations :
I never said otherwise.


Rick: 
Do you think Sasha did that herself? 

Maggie: 
I don't know how, but I know she did. 
She gave us a chance. 


Rick :
You did. You made the right decision to come. 


Maggie :
The Decision was made a long time ago, before any of us knew each other, when we were all strangers who would have just passed each other on the street before The World ended. 

And now we mean everything to each other. 

You were in Trouble. 
You were Trapped. 
Glenn didn't know you, but he helped you. 

He put himself in Danger for you.

And that started it all -- 
From Atlanta, to My Daddy's Farm, to The Prison, to Here... 
To This Moment Now... 

Not as strangers -- as Family... 

Because Glenn chose to be There for you That Day a Long Time Ago. 

That was The Decision that changed everything. 

It started with both of you, and it just grew... 
To all of us... to Sacrifice for Each Other... 

To Suffer and Stand, 
To Grieve, to Give, 
to Love, to Live... 

To Fight for Each Other. 

Glenn made The Decision, Rick. 

I was just following his lead.




Rick: 
Back at the tank, why'd you stick your neck out for me? 


Glenn: 
Call it foolish, naive hope that if I'm ever that far up Shit Creek, somebody might do the same for me. 


Guess I'm an even bigger dumbass than you.
