Muslim Belal - Praise Him Daily lyrics

My mum's calling me, she telling me she proud
And she loves me and bring me to
See my dad for a while
I'm on the stage, the lights turned out
In front of me's about
Twenty thousand in the crowd
I've been bumping in
To some of my old school pals
They grin and say "Chin
You've got a glow in your smile"
I'm from the streets where
The lifestyle's wild
So, it's nice how my life's turned out
I praise him daily

I grew up in an estate playing runouts
My friends knocking for me ask for mum
If I can come out and play
Yeah those were my innocent days
I remember British Bulldog and go-to-go
In the alley ways
And I never understood the value for money
So, I was never shy to turn a look on mummy
And ask for some new Nike or a baseball cap
As she put on angry face and look back
We said no, I never had anything I wanted
Yeah money was a problem so I
Put my mind on it
By 16 I started making money from the chronic
My Moped and a first car -
Rewards I take from it
And at 18, we started SMS a ghetto rap crew
We had potential to be the best
And in that same haraam studio
I learnt about Islam
So it turns out something good
Came from that haraam moving on
From the music a lot was
Happening in the streets
And what I went through in my life is
What I put down on the beats
And my life was negative so
The music was negative
It was like a cry for help
That a sister would never give
But we reach out to the kids
Islam starts to spread
And finally, I wake up and get out of my bed
But what about those that I left
I can't leave them without a thought
Cuz they're still pedalling drugs
Like it's a sport
And crime only pays till the
Day you get caught
And my brother got caught
So we standing in the court
Those fifteen years
Knocked him back down on these chains
Letting out a deep breath
His wife let out the tears
She's screaming in the court room
Like justice isn't given
I just pray you benefit from
These years in prison

My mum's calling me, she telling me she proud
And she loves me and bring me to
See my dad for a while
I'm on the stage, the lights turned out
In front of me's about
Twenty thousand in the crowd
I've been bumping in
To some of my old school pals
They grin and say "Chin
You've got a glow in your smile"
I'm from the streets where
The lifestyle's wild
So, it's nice how my life's turned out
I praise him daily
