Lyrics
Yo, this is Pray Hard flow Worn it down for too many years Ilyas Mao Back the real MB, what a life (x2) They're scared of death, they're scared of life They're shook They're scared of the day their soul might get took I'm taking it back to South London with the books Taking it back to the day shahadah got took I walked in this song with a pure heart Should've seen the love they were showing me in the start Lining up to hug me, kissing me on both cheeks I was overwhelmed, I'm a young boy from the streets I nearly didn't join, I thought I had too many sins Said Allah's Merciful and still welcomеd me in Now they talk loads, they wouldn't'vе lasted in the gun days I never let my hand raise to a man that prays, that's faith I wrote a book and I made a film And the school and the mosque got built Yeah we was really out there in the field They're just in the comments, their life don't make no sense 2015, went and done Hajj When I was a young boy, I didn't see this in my plans I spent my childhood sitting on the steps With an Afro, bout two pound and some Nike creps Left so much behind, they wouldn't even get it Motorola flip phone, with no credit Allah really changed my life up differently They think I'm fazed by the cameras and the TV Mad, I pour my heart out on a CD Like A Soldier, up and down the country That's good end when you look at how we started off Money in the shoe box, guns in the mums loft 1 on 1, I gave them Streets to Islam Before they knew about the streets Have you ever talked about Islam? Are you dumb? (x2) They're scared of death, they're scared of life They're shook They're scared of the day their soul might get took I'm taking it back to South London with the books Taking it back to the day shahadah got took Yo, look how this begun Started with the rising of the Sun Started with one pound between two kids Splits, one patty and one coke or bread This is Lambeth, what a life It's a game of opinions, everybody thinks they're right Don't expect you to think like me My life ain't like yours I had to jump the fence, they went through the doors He done wrong, so they attacked him not me I joined this faith to be involved in no beef I thought this belief was all about peace These guys argue more than we used to in the streets Going up the stairs backwards So much biting that my back hurts Backbiters like mosquitos You ain't responsible for wherever he goes He should know better though, due to what he knows They wasn't around when we wearing Moschino Ghetto fever, kids can't tell probably old Had the Valentino, before the Valentinos All summer up in Kennington and Black Prince Road Cousin Lee boy and Dino Before the Tesco it was Bingo Before Rockie it was Rambo Now these man out here are really playing Rambo It's really real From Gypsy Hill to mics filled Bang bang, anywhere gang, looking like the Talleyban It was SMS, OC and PDC Had the horsies out in Egypt, on the DVD Back in '03, the masjid wasn't lonely We was about 100 brothers deep Connected at the heart, based on tawhid And I'm talking brothers from the street We didn't make YouTube, but we made the real news Made history, turned it into my story Now they're just living for the glory Living for the power, living for the belly Boys in the hood, menace to society Tryna get paid in full, to help the mummy I didn't wanna be a man on fire Had to take the message, regardless of my desire I had to take this deen over the dunya Took Abu Sumaya as a kunya I done over a thousand events And I boarded over a hundred flights I made over 25 films Gave all those lost teens advice Some say the old way wasn't working And some say the new way wasn't right I say the problem's everybody's saying something But ain't facing the realities of life I'm talking jail cells and suicide Mental health, child abuse and big knives You can stay living in the box I'm living in the real world until my heart stops (x3) They're scared of death, they're scared of life They're shook They're scared of the day their soul might get took I'm taking it back to South London with the books Taking it back to the day shahadah got took They're scared of death, they're scared of life They're shook They're scared of the day their soul might get
