Verse 1:
I remember coming home late from the parties
Intoxicated with champagne
I didn't really have love for anybody
I was a bad boy with a bad name
Now I get paid to tell my story
Alhamdulillah, I came a long way
From the streets to Islam
Now salaam is what we say
Chorus:
Salaam, salaam x4
Verse 2:
The day after I took my shahaadah
Subhan*llah, that was a Friday
The brother picked me up to take me to Jum'ah
We got there late and they started to pray
He whispered to me: "Follow my lead"
I didn't understand the words that they say
And I thought he was confused like me
Till he opened his mouth and he said "Aameen"
He raised his hands then he went to his knees
Then he raised back up then he went to the floor
Raised back up then he went to the floor
Now this was confusing me for sure
But I didn't give up, now I understand
And you're looking at a proud, m**m man
And I wanna go and live in a m**m land
Take a m**m wife by a m**m hand
I got m**m kids, I got m**ms plans
Alhamdulillah, I'm a m**m man x3
Now, a lot of things changed in my life
When I was young
I didn't really wanna have a wife
I wanted to have a different girl every night
And I wanted to use beats when I rapped on a mic
Cause I came from the street
I was in a street eye
To the trainers in my feet
You could see the street life
But I managed to beat my stereotype
Thank God for the week that I changed my life
Chorus:
Salaam, salaam x4
