Lyrics

Yo, before I start this verse, I think it's best that I say, I ain't pious, I ain't righteous, I ain't one of the greats. I ain't Umar, I ain't Ali, I ain't Ahlul Bayt. So now we got that straight, let me express my faith. Cause all the people wanna know, how you got in Dean, bro? What made you leave the scene, bro? What light did you see, bro? We see you got a beard now, so we wanna hear how. This new, improved Muslim has just magically appeared now. Well, let me stop you there and let me make this clear. I ain't doing this for fame, cause fam, I do not care about the people or the praise, about how loud they cheer. Or if they still remember me or oh, when I'm not here. Cause if it ain't for Allah, who am I doing it for? When the angels raise me up and ask me, who is your Lord? Tell me, what will I say about the times I didn't pray? About the nights I'd roll around like I wouldn't see the day? When the mountains would fall and the people would say, yo, let me send me back to earth for one more day. Give us time to repent, time to change our ways. The clocks will not go back and you can't skip your grave. I swear it broke my heart the night I heard Twan died. Cause it didn't make no sense, how could they kill my guy? I swear I broke straight down, why is this life so crazy? I crumbled on the floor the night I cried like a baby. Then I wiped my tears, I swear the truth was clear. This life is temporary, just a couple of years. But then where do we go? God tell me what do we do? And don't tell me that I'm crazy cause you're thinking it through. So I took my time, I had to study the truth. Cause everyone was telling me that their religion was true. So I looked in deep, it's like my heart was numb. But a light was coming out saying Allah is the one. And he ain't no man, a human ain't my saviour. I don't pray to the creation, fam I praise the creator. I'm trying to tell my cousin when I visit the pen. I'mma bring him a Quran next time I visit again. Cause it makes me faint, how does a heart get clean? So many men that go to jail but somehow still find a thing. And it ain't by chance, there's no smoke in the screen. When you put a man in darkness then the light can be seen. It's like I think about my brother when I cry and I pray. Cause I'm trying to give him power, trying to show him the way. Showing party ain't worth it, tell him more everyday. But then it gets to a point, when more can you say? Fam I need to guide him proper, gotta show him the path. Cause I didn't have no man to show me how to pray my salah. And I didn't have no man to show me how to connect with Allah. And I didn't have no man to show me how to read the Quran. And I'm just seeking out the truth so it's the thing that I chose. But I'm fighting my own demons, I can feel them getting close. Devil whispers in my chest, trying to make my heart colder. But sometimes it feels like he's right there on my shoulder. Telling me to go back to the life that I left. Telling me I'm missing out and that this life is the best. Me and you ain't finished Cali cause I'm still in your head. And I'll be right there in your ear until the day you forget.
