At home we get hit with the hangers and belts
In school we get bullied until we start hanging ourselves
I'm Losing composure
Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi look over my shoulder
Muslims, Jews, Halal, Kosher
Lights on no ones home call it foreclosure
Open your eyes we been americanize
My dad drove a jitney, a limo, an uber, a taxi so don't ever question my drive
I ask one time can God remove my flaws
Listen to the words coming through my jaws
Wearing a lungi smelling like shokri screaming Eid Mubarak that's too much sauce
Man I just carry the pen writing these bars preparing to win
My teacher put me in a corner I told her that l will succeed in any area I'm in
Missing my mom visit the cemetery that we happen to bury her in
