Lyrics
Hey! Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da- Hey my boy, is everything okay? Not really. Someone at school is saying mean things to me about my friend. Hmm. Talking badly about others is really unkind. And our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ always said that speaking badly about someone behind their backs is like eating a piece of their flesh. Yuck! Exactly. Maybe a song about this will help us and all those around us to always think twice before speaking badly about others. To the song machine! I've got this snooty little lava of mine and these crazy hyenas. And I brought some walkie-talkies. Okay. I wonder what the sun machine will do with the slime. Here we go! Don't talk about your mother, don't talk about your sister, don't talk of anyone behind their backs. Don't you know the things you mumble go around cause so much trouble, it's as if you're chewing on somebody else. He's a little lazy, she's kinda lost. That one's so darn crazy, always talking nonsense. And everyone is out there and they've all got it wrong. Except for me who's perfect cause I'm the only one. Don't talk about your brother, don't talk about your sister, don't talk of anyone behind their backs. Don't you know the things you mumble go around cause so much trouble, it's as if you're chewing on somebody else. He's doing so much wrong, she's never nice. All the chitter-chatter now but man I should think twice. Realize the eyes spying everything I say can come back to me in a nasty kind of way. Don't talk about your neighbor, go and do yourself a favor, look into your heart and see the wrong within. None of us live in a bubble, what we say is double trouble, all we do is take a bite from somebody's sons. He and all his cronies, all they do is judge. They think they're holy molies, veteran and above. Hyenas always laughing, they love to yap and yelp, but the stories they keep telling gonna take them straight to hell. Don't talk about your mother, don't talk about your father, don't talk of anyone behind their backs. Don't you know the things you mumble go around cause so much trouble, it's as if you're chewing on somebody else. So don't be a troublemaker, don't be a troll. You meddle and you're mayhemming everywhere you go. You carry tails like slimy snails that always leave a trail. You think you hide behind a screen, the angels know your name. You ruin lives, you're breaking ties and causing so much pain. Don't talk about your neighbor, go and do yourself a favor, look into your heart and see the wrong within. None of us live in a bubble, what we say is double trouble, all we do is take a bite from somebody's sons. So stop the fucking talkies, save yourself from sin. The strongest one of all of us is one who holds his tongue. Especially when you're angry and you have so much to say. Just think about the person in a very special way. Don't talk about your brother, don't talk about your sister, don't talk of anyone behind their backs. Don't you know the things you mumble go around cause so much trouble, it's as if you're chewing on somebody else. Don't talk about your neighbor, go and do yourself a favor, look into your heart and see the wrong within. None of us live in a bubble, what we say is double trouble, all we do is take a bite from somebody's sons. Grandpa and grandson playing along, together we make the most amazing songs. So much to learn and so much to see, all we need is love and a song machine. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da and me. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da and me. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da and me. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da and me. And now we pray everyday, we thank Allah for all the blessings He gave us. Made us to be the best that we can be, find our way to spread love and peace. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da and me. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da and me. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da and me. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da and me. Oh yeah. Da-da.
