Muslim Belal, Yarimi - Advice To A Brother lyrics

Yo, assalamu 3lykum my brudda what's good
I hope you're well inshallah
This is Nasser from North speaking
I hope you're well my akh
Yeah bro I'm just ringing you to let you
Know it's peak out here man
All my boys are either dead or in jail
And the rest of them are
Caught up in this madness
I don't wanna be another useless
Head on the roads bro
Tryna focus on my deen but every time I focus
Shaytan's pulling me in this trap my akh
I don't know what to do bro it's peak man
It's peak bro, I hope you understand
I know my life is crazy but
I take it like a man
Wanna finish the Qur'an and really
Help that I can (yeah)
Yeah I'm feeling really lost
Can you help me find a plan?

Yo, wa'alaykum as-salam
Wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu
My brother, my nephew
I listen to your story and I see it
Got a clear view
Life isn't easy, it's a struggle, I hear you
But we understand our purpose
We know this is a test
We won't pass with flying colours but
We gotta do our best and hold on to Islam
Don't run towards haraam
Even if it feels like hot
Coal inside your palm
And the streets ain't easy
I was raised on them too
So when you're narrating your story
I'm relating to you yeah I've been there
Living on these roads with no fear
They try preach to you what
You're living with no care
While deep inside
You know that emptiness is there
Allah's the only One that can help
You can't do this by yourself
I know you understand me
You gotta start making changes, gradually
Work on your heart first then
That'll effect your character
Then all the rules that you
Set will get easier before you know it
You'll be in the masjid every Fajr
Front row dhikr, pilin' up the barakah
Go make your mum proud
Forget banging that gun loud
No regrets when the angels come round
You say you're from Yemen
You should have that Arabic locked down
You should be leading the prayers
In your block now man of your household
Keep your chin up and your gaze low
Walk on those streets with that noor glow
Big beard and white thobe
You know how this thing goes
Yo, you know how this thing goes lord knows
