Aouthu Billahe Mina shataan nir'Rajeem-Masha Allah
(Verse 1:) As I wake up in the mornin, strech my arms wide/ Before I even yawn or wipe the cold out my eyes/ I say Al Humdulillah, givin praise to my God/ Allowin me another day, blessin me to rise/ Know at any given moment, it could be my demise/ Cuz you only get a minute to pray (and a second to die)/ And realising that/ I've come to terms with that/ One day, I'm gon burn for all my haneous acts/ I know a sincere prayer can only change my fate/ So I drop, prostrate/ And pray it ain't too late/ For me to ask for forgiveness and increase my faith/ And guide me on the path thats straight/ And never lead me astray/ Cuz I know I cant walk this alone/ I'm in fear of that fork in the road/ The devil there, waitin to claim my soul/ So I pray that you hold my hand/ As I follow your footprints in the sand.
(Chorus:) Now I know I done did some wrong/ And I ain't been to talk to you in so, so long/ So I'ma hit my knees and extend my palms/ And send this up to you and hope you hear this/ I'll be prayin' (prayin'), I'll be prayin' (prayin'), I'll be prayin' (yeah), I'll be prayin (ayee yeah)
(Verse 2:): I often find myself stuck, just starin' in space/ Feel like hours at a time/ My mind driftin' away/ Can't quite collect my thoughts or put 'em in place/ And I grab a glimpse of my momma with a head full of grays/ I know they shouldn' be there, (nah) not for her age/ And then I think of how I stressed her and shortened her days/ Her long sleepless nights, not knowing if I was safe/ Or was my name on the list of the reaper that day/ I sink deeper as I feel a tear creep down my face/ I wipe it away, now my thoughts on life in the grave/ I know on that day, that three things gon go wit ya/ Ya family, ya wealth, and ya deeds, but two gon leave/ And when that last person leave that site/ The grave gon squeeze so tight/ Ya ribs gon overlap, till every bone crack/ I drop my head in despair, imagine going through that/ I smell fire then I notice the hole in my pants/ I drop my cigarette butt and brush off my ash/ I'm still stuck but I notice a car pass/ I hear the driver cussin' me out over his horn blast/ Damn, this can't be right/ Let me snap back to life/ How long I been stuck, day dreaming at this light?/ Wondering if thats a sign of how I'm moving through life/ A reckless abandon/ A accident, just waitin' to happen.
(chorus x2)
