Muslim Belal - Spot Project lyrics

Smile in the morning, counting my blessings
I was born with nothing
You gave me everything
Now I don't ask for anything
Don't need for anything
You're enough for me, this life is not for me

What a life, watch us strive
We all want the same thing, happiness inside
So much ambition, people and pride
Like we don't see there's
Beauty in simplicity
I see more happiness in them than I see in me
And they got less than you
And you got more than me
And we still want more and more, obviously
We continue like this
We're never gonna find peace
I know what it's like to have nothing
I was raised on the streets
Too much ego, too much arrogance


Too much pride
We care more about the image than
The hearts and the mind
Counting my blessings
I was born with nothing
And I know I'll die with nothing
So now I don't ask for nothing
Don't need for nothing
He's enough for me, this life is not for me
We don't live for money
But we need money to live
I saw those kids, I felt like my kids
I used to complain about my family
But, I got family to complain about
You know we'd complain about our property
When they don't even have a house
You see I've been travelling, eyes open
Witnessing this life like we've never known
They're worried about food tomorrow
We're worried about getting a good
Picture on our phone
In us I see weakness, in them I see strength
We just post for a couple days
Donate a few pence
Then go back to the privilege
They forever live this
But, you're depressed in a big house
Film yourself crying like you're suffering
Oh that life must be so hard in
That cosy bed you're lying in
Making plans for when you're older
They just pray to see tomorrow
Now they smile the biggest smiles for that
Small meal in that little plate
They appreciate God's blessings for that
One visit we made today
But we still complain, complain, complain
How ungrateful are we
Lift the blind so we can see
When one child cries, the whole world cries
Or do we just stand by?
Every child deserves to eat and
Sleep in a decent bed
If you see how happy he was
With this little piece of bread
But we need everything
Every human deserves a fair chance at life
I wish to see a world where
We live by divine values
We just don't take and live, we give back
Show gratitude
But this world was given to us as a test
Are we happy as long as we live good?
Can we ignore the rest?
Live with meaning and purpose
Live with purpose, a life of meaning
You wanna die as a legend
Good deeds don't have no sealing
Be a person of principles
Self-discipline, live under strict rules
Care about the people, be kind to the people
Assist the people, aid the people
There's gonna be a time when
You need the people
To care about you and assist you
Look after the people
And God will look after you this is SPOT
Imagine we used to rap about
All the things we got
Bragging like we got a lot
If they got nothing, we got nothing
If they got no water, we got no water
If they can't sleep, we can't sleep
If they can't eat, we can't eat
See we got nothing to brag about
This world is our home and our
Home's in a terrible state
Be the change you want to see
Yesterday has passed, today be legendary

Smile in the morning, counting my blessings
I was born with nothing
You gave me everything
Now I don't ask for anything
Don't need for anything
You're enough for me, this life is not for me
