Boonaa Mohammed - The Best Things lyrics

The best things in life
Are not necessarily things
There are people who don’t have a
Penny but inside they are kings
And then there are billionaires not
Even worth a mosquito’s wing
You will never find happiness in things
If you can’t find happiness within

An ugly personality will always
Ruin a beautiful face
And there is nothing worse than having a
Black heart regardless of your race
If you can't say it to my face
Then don't say it behind my back or at all
There arе many roads to hate
But envy is the shortеst of them all

At 19 I learned that sometimes
You gotta let go
Of people in order to help save yourself
Like oxygen masks on a plane
You gotta breathe first before you
Can help anyone else
Knowledge of self, cause when
You’re young and dumb
You think everybody is just here to chill
Until eventually you realize who really
Matters, who never did, and who always will

To my family, you mean the world to me and
Although this world is mean
We must accept that Allah has a better plan
One that we may not always see
And I don't fear the enemy who may attack me
As much as the fake friend who still hugs me
But before people can love me
I must first learn to love He

Cause you see, everyday’s is a new day
For new ways and new change
As you gain, through the pain
What it takes to be sane
Cause this life’s not a game
Not for money or fame
Through the sun or the rain
May your smile stay the same

Cause, I’ve been where you’ve been
Probably sinned where you sinned
And I almost gave in, gave the devil a win
But, I searched deep within
Found a strength and through Him
I’ve been on a mission
Save my soul’s condition

Cause them boys think they fly
In the club yelling YOLO
But boy when you die
In the grave you’ll be solo
Hand you your book, on that day what a shame
You’ll say Oh No
Why did I take them as friends, do it again
You’d say hell no

Cause even more than friends on facebook
I need friends who face books
Cause it is better to be alone
Than in the company of jerks
And what’s the point of knowledge
If you know but don’t apply
Experience is the best teacher
But the tuition is so high

And real eyes, realize
Real lies from real lives
So I choose friends like I'm
Looking for neighbours in Paradise
And sometimes a little common sense
Is worth more than PhD’s
Wise men are not always silent
But they know when to be

Cause how you make others
Feel about themselves, says a lot about you
And news flash
You don't have to attend every
Argument you're invited to!
Cause Haters need drama like it's oxygen
So let them say what they will say
But just stay positive and I promise you
Will always take their breath away!

And know that whoever is trying
To bring you down, is already below you
You have the potential for greatness
Embedded deep inside of you
And your value doesn’t decrease because
People can’t see your worth
We all came from Adam and Adam came from dirt

From the bottom to the top
Homie we’ve been here for years
We survived Noah’s ark
So what are a few tears
Yes you will have bad days
And yes things may not always go to plan
And yes sometimes you will feel like trash
But yes this too shall pass

Everyone here is fighting a battle
That you know nothing about
So be kind and don’t be ammunition or
Better yet don’t even open your mouth
If you have nothing of benefit to say than
Let your tongue stay in it's cage
You can love me or hate me
Or better yet just stay out of my way

Cause, I’m aiming for that Jannah
Whether you like it or not
And I want all my friends to join
Me where the party don’t stop
Cause we are living in a
Matrix, what’s our purpose
What’s our meaning?
One day your life will be a book
You better make it worth reading

You will never know your strength
Till you’ve conquered your demons
Like water to fire, humility destroys egos
But those who love you for Allah and
Those who don’t are not equal
Cause it's true what they say
That you are on the deen of your Amigos

Some people try to be different and some
People try to make a difference
But, if you always follow the crowd
You will most likely get lost in them
Cause in a minute everything can
Change, Lovers can become estranged
Friends can become strange
Nothing ever stays the same

Touché, it's still better to be hurt by
The truth than comforted with a lie
For some people life is like a joke
And it don’t make sense until you die
So I thank Allah for real friends
The ones who have always been there for me
Honest men have few friends
But a few good ones is all you need
