Brother Ali - Faheem lyrics

[Intro:] Faheem Abdul Aziz Ibn Ali Newman I gave you that name, boy [Verse 1:] I will never stop being sorry that your home got broken Feel like I owe you for the road that I chose But I believe things happen the way there supposed to And you'll always be with me wherever I go I was right there for your first breath Used to lay you on my chest when you slept I fed you, changed you, read to you, bathed you I ain't tryna' hold that over your head, I'm saying thank you God put you in my arms for me to teach you Sometimes I gotta not be popular to reach you But boy look me in my eye when I speak to you I tell you these things cos I believe in you Respect, patience, excellence and truth Make good choices and always follow through But above all else know Allah always watch us And everything we do comes back upon us Alright, lets talk about your Mummy I need you to know I used everything inside me To make you as healthy as you could possibly be And I just couldn't see a good future for us three And you gonna have questions as you grow But there's certain negative things that you don't need to know And baby boy thats what this is about We live, learn and figure it out I just pray you don't remember us sleeping on the floor Have me cleaning mouse droppings outta your toys It took alot of hard work for us to get where we at and young man we ain't quitten at that Just know that it hurts me to d**h when I leave and go tourin' I'm scared that it might make you feel unimportant But our bonds so strong that the moment I get off We seem to pick right back up where we left off I tried to say I do it for you But in my heart I know thats not entirely true So if I ever come home and feel it hurt us as friends Swear to God I'll never tour again I ain't never met a child quite like you Words don't suffice for me to describe you You have a genuine goodness inside you I watch you and wonder if I was ever like you It's me and you brother for life So when you put me in the ground look for me in the clouds You make me the definition of proud Taught me what this life is really about Faheem
