real life - muslim belal lyrics
[intro]
you find it hard to be yourself
how do you expect to find happiness in the heart
if you don’t have a relationship with the one who created the heart?
you’ll never find inner peace
tryna please everybody else
[verse]
yo, this is real life, i just landed from a flight
asr came in, i think i just might*
bang up my prayer on this seat
see it’s all eyes on me
i’m a stranger in this world
this is the life of mb
you see this prayer’s like*
saving me from my own destruction
without this, how do i еven function?
man out here making thеir own decisions
they don’t even turn to allah for assistance
got no resistance
you fell victim to your own desire
then you feel bad, then you do good
then you’re tryna go back
living life on a rollercoaster
she said she wants to please allah
posing like the girl on the poster
and man will never learn till it’s over, till it’s too late
behaving like a rude boy, but speaking like a shaykh
it’s a crazy world, where everybody suffers in silence
so much k!lling i became immune to the violence
this is real life, everybody’s acting like they’re woke
but their actions don’t match, none of the words that they quote
i spoke from the heart, and i touch hearts from all over the globe
i had to learn all them things i didn’t know
woke up to an alert on my phone
he said he doesn’t wanna live this life no more
he’s only 12 years old
he said he feels let down by the community
can’t rely on his uncles, and his dad left his mum on her own
that’s one case out of a hundred, yearly turns to thousands
million problems to solve yet we’re here still clowning
hundreds of people around him, still feeling lonely
n0body understanding, the pain that he’s holding
when he smiles every time that he’s posting
he shows the world the best part, allah’s the only one that really knows him
half of the world’s just posing, while the cameras are on
and when they’re off, the breakdown’s loading
i took off from rome on a private jet, i didn’t snap it at all
i guess it’s different when you live it for real
you see there’s different ways of earning respect*
and attracting attention, i pray my heart’s much bigger than my cheque
so much things that i can’t even mention
some things i regret, some i’m grateful for learning a lesson
n0body’s faith’s safe
you think heaven’s like a booking?
and you can just reserve your place?
you gotta work hard and protect your heart
till you go to the grave
this world meets no man halfway
i said the world meets no man halfway
i get down and pray
there’s an effect from the words that you say
you like to humiliate people too much
i’d rather give them a hug and be rewarded for encouraging love
cuz the world meets no man halfway
i get down and i pray
that’s the same on a good or bad day
[chorus] (x2)
this is real life
you find it hard to be yourself
tryna please everybody else
great expectations of this world
looking like you’re winning
but internally you fail
this is real life
pressures of a man, this is real life
they find it hard to understand, this is real life
we ain’t allowed to show no weakness
crying when alone, but in a crowd you’re the strongest
[outro] (x3)
this is real life
