Lyrics
Sometimes I'm up up up Sometimes I'm down... Sometimes I'm flying in the skies Sometimes my face is pressed to the ground But one thing remains the same The one thing that'll never change I'm talking about my Deen My faith is all I need Verse 1: I was looking, I was searching. Trying to find a purpose It took a while to say Oh Allah look at me, I am here at your service I've never been so convinced about anything else like this in my life It feels great. It feels right, it feels like its been worth the strive Bridge: Just grab one and up you go and forget about your destitute Chorus: Sometimes I'm up up up Sometimes I'm down... Sometimes I'm flying in the skies Sometimes my face is pressed to the ground But one thing remains the same The one thing that'll never change I'm talking about my Deen My faith is all I need Verse 2 (Ahmed Mao): Now I’m not saying everything is perfect just because I believe What I’m saying is everything is worth it because I have Deen I have good days , I have bad days. I have days when I show my bad ways But I come back, to the straight path, the path of those who don’t just lay back And that path is called As Siratal Mustaqeem Bridge: Just grab one and up you go and forget about your destitute Chorus: Sometimes I'm up up up Sometimes I'm down... Sometimes I'm flying in the skies Sometimes my face is pressed to the ground But one thing remains the same The one thing that'll never change I'm talking about my Deen My faith is all I need
