guidance - muslim belal lyrics
intro:
(vocal-only instrumental)
pre-chorus:
came a long way from guns and roses
i was on them streets to islam
now i’m standing up like a soldier
still greet my brother with a palm
waiting on judgement day
could’ve died in those streets we used to play
chorus:
but now we changed
da-da-da da-da da-da-da
we praise his name
allah, allah
allah, cuz now we changed
da-da-da da-da da-da-da
we praise his name
allah, allah
allah, cuz now we changed
verse:
i was fifteen with my hat low, backwards on those back roads
string vest and my jeans short, air max and my afro
on a gt doing wheelies, i saw tapes turning to cds
love’s turning to envy, i’m turning to mb
i didn’t change when they hated me
i didn’t change when they rated me
allah sees what they didn’t see
and rewarded me with these brownies
so at nineteen, i’m in the masjid, socks off on that carpet
shahadah on the tip of my tongue, it’s equal where my heart is
goin’ back to the day where i started
hair fade with that parting
tracksuit in mercedes
text messages from ladies, and they would say i’ve gone crazy
ghetto child from those 80s, i was raised on bob marley
now i’m listening to mishary, rashid al-afasy
why’d i change they asked me
to them this life means everything
to me it’s only temporary
so at 21 i went egypt
learning qur’an and arabic
i was an ahly fan not zamalek
and madinat nasr was where i lived
i weren’t phased by the pyramids
i was phased by the love they give
out there with no family, i’m still eating with families
at 28 i went kuwait
london boy from a bad estate
out here in this gofro
and my flip flops and my white thobe
how did i get here? i don’t know
where are my old friends? i don’t know
but if i die tomorrow
this is the way i wanna go
cuz i love it here, i found peace in this religion
walked here with my hands up, to allah, i surrender
pre-chorus:
came a long way from guns and roses
i was on them streets to islam
now i’m standing up like a soldier
still greet my brother with a palm
waiting on judgement day
could’ve died in those streets we used to play
chorus:
but now we changed
da-da-da da-da da-da-da
we praise his name
allah, allah
allah, cuz now we changed
da-da-da da-da da-da-da
we praise his name
allah, allah
allah, cuz now we changed
