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
