Chorus
ult li albi bissaraha (iand'm opening up my heart with honesty)
hayya naband'idil karaha (let's avoid the hated and hatred)

baand' ideena anil fattana (letand's avoid all lies and sins)
Verse 1
i feel the heat
from these 4 candles burning
as iand'm staring out the window
in solitude i look at life
from different angles
thoughts strangled
my mind is suffocatinand'
in this truth quest
a greed law
that we abide by is ruthless
enough will never satisfy
until we toothless
filthy millionaires
are gamblinand' until they muflis
a sad fact of life
but mankind approved this
i gotta call him
sajadah is where the booth is
iand'll make it clear that
i ainand't even tryinand' to preach here
by sharing thoughts i hope
to find a little peace here
i thank allah for blessing me
to be creative
so hereand's a diss for me
for beinand' unappreciative
wanted a perfect life
yeah smile then die old
fame, money, women
phat cribos and white gold
drive my own beemer
before i hit two six
a straight pink bitinand' toothpicks
who walk around town witand' two chicks
and doinand' new hits to woo tricks....
now thatand's wrong
pleasure from partyinand'
and bull ish donand't last long
a lotta yuppies sneakinand'
cars out when dadand's gone
crackinand' bottles in clubs
frontinand' designer fashion
but i ainand't about
to trade happiness for a jag
so stop smilinand' with your ragtop down
cause for a fact
i donand't care about your money
or how slick your car
and'cause no matter how rich and big you are
itand's still allahuakbar...
Chorus
ult li albi bissaraha (iand'm opening up my heart with honesty)
hayya naband'idil karaha (let's avoid the hated and hatred)
syakkireena aand' kulli niand'ma (letand's remain thankful with what we have)
baand' ideena anil fattana (letand's avoid all lies and sins)
Verse 2
i know that all this
ainand't the right thing
partying, chasing moneys
and material things
flying high
think nobody gonna
clip my wings
iand'm lying to myself
knowing that
iand've been neglecting
responsibilities
as a healthy muslim
riches and loot
ainand't nothing
we frontinand'
diamonds and scrilla
but forget to say
alhamdulillah
made my album a killer
plan b
now 2-3 droppinand'
and i wish to
ask for forgiveness
your guidance
protection and strength
for humbleness and faith
to make me a better man
success in foreign lands
never dreamt of that
i remember being 18
when we started too phat
now letand's go back
three years before that
sometimes i forget
me and my parents
took a trip with granddad
i remember and'95
while performing umrah
made my wish in mecca
right in front the kaabah
dear god
you made it possible
when facing obstacles
please let me do good
before i pass on
in the hospital
and keep reciting
the testimony of faith
and find the right way
out of this lifeand's maze

Verse 3
ay yo...
two candles go out
thatand's when
i feel the wind blow
i havenand't met fatim
for two years
been livinand' like iand'm single
evaluatinand' all the friendships
relationship
the reason itand's the tenth year
is and'cause sheand's a patient chick
and as far as friends are concerned
many iand've had it all
from those who cried for my pain
to those who plotted my fall
i learned to differentiate
fakes from the great
mates from the snakes
apes wanna beef
hateand's all it takes
for me to blow
a diss song for you
not even worthy
as an album filler
so now itand's smiles
and alhamdulillah
yeah, love me
or hate me
this who i am
look at the past at times
i wish that i was born again
so i can rectify mistakes
and my wrong doings
attempts on minimizing my sins
before my story ends
i ainand't no eddie murphy
tryinand' to sound as a holy man
but if i tried to be a better person
now i prolly can
(wait...)
who am i to advise you
i ainand't been the best
of godand's slaves
just a poet writinand'
what my thought says
a little house
a little car
a little sweet girl
thank you lord
iand'll try to slow it down
on the cheap thrills
this song will prolly stir
a little controversy
at least i ainand't be rappinand'
bout the stuff
as thoand' iand'm born in jersey
stage name is malique
and lost name is cairel
mama told me
stop complaining too much,
so i will...
