John the Baptist (Ancient Greek: Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτιστής, Ioannēs ho baptistēs or Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτίζων, Ioannēs ho baptizōn, known as the prophet Yahya in the Qur'an ) was a Jewish itinerant preacher in the early first century AD and is revered as a major religious figure along with Christianity, also in Islam, the Bahá'í Faith, and Mandaeism. He is called a prophet by all of these traditions, and honoured as a saint in many Christian traditions.
John used baptism as the central sacrament of his messianic movement. Most scholars agree that John baptized Jesus. Scholars generally believe Jesus was a follower or disciple of John and several New Testament accounts report that some of Jesus' early followers had previously been followers of John. John the Baptist is also mentioned by the Jewish historian Josephus. Some scholars maintain that John was influenced by the semi-ascetic Essenes, who expected an apocalypse and practiced rituals corresponding strongly with baptism, although no direct evidence substantiates this.
Yahya (Arabic: يحيى, Yaḥyā), also written Yahia is a common Arabic male given name. Yahya (John the Baptist) having been a prophet of Islam, Yahya is a very common name in the Muslim world.
In Persian, Yahya is a title of address for a senior village or community elder; it is also a common nickname for the 12th Imam.

Sometiems I need to paint, you can be my canvas
Sometimes I want to escape, even though it's selfish
I'm always comin over and smokin you out
Because everything is better with a blunt in your mouth
As the clock strikes twelve I'll be freakin you out
Make us both forget what we were worried about
Traffic's jammed on the 405
I hop in the whip cuz there's not much time
I'm gonna get to you
Fly through the streets like a hawk to the sky
Be in and out like a drive by
I'm gone. to take. the canyon
It feels so good because i know that it's wrong
Get back home, ain't nothin goin on
I'm gone. to take. the canyon
Sometimes i bite my lip so i don't slip and say his name
Cuz in these magic moments i get homesick all the same
I'm always comin over and smokin you out
Because everything is better with a blunt in your mouth
If i waited for you i'd just be waiting alone
So when the clock strikes 2 i'll be on my way home
Traffic's jammed on the 405
I hop in the whip cuz there's not much time
Damnit, I'm gonna get to you
Fly through the streets like a hawk to the sky
Be in and out like a drive by
I'm gone. to take. the canyon
It feels so good because i know that it's wrong
Get back home, ain't nothin goin on
I'm gone, to take, the canyon
