Muslim Belal - Layla | ليلى lyrics

Forgive me for my sins
Forgive me for my shortcomings
Forgive me for my wrongdoings
Forgive me, forgive me

There's a lack of love in this household
All those hugs from my mum when I was young
I done outgrow (yeah) now I'm all alone
Trying to find a diamond in
This bucket full of stones
I'm unhappy in this home
Like, nothing makes me happy
Like, continuously feeling empty
I see those bright eyes, lighting up the city
They calling me and tempting me (See)

My mum warned me against her
My sister told me, "Bro, don't go near her"
And the brothers tell me, "Akh
You cannot trust her"
And the scriptures tell me
Men will lust after her
Let me introduce you to Layla
See I wrote this on a Friday
It was the ninth of December
I was feeling vulnerable
Life weren't really going well
Layla started to hit me up
She understood, she could tell
Looking at her history
I see many came before me
And I ain't got no game
She just understood my story
She really started comforting
Supporting me on my grind
I sleep with her over the night time
Waking up to her sunshine
She looked me in my eyes
I said "Promise you'll never lie"
She replied "'Till the day you die
I'll be always at your side"
So now I'm out here with my hoodie up
And I'm walking in this cold
I got Layla by my side
Rather die you know the code
Gun underneath my coat
I got sweat up on my palms
Its all eyes on me 'cause
This relationship is haraam
But, I'm walking with my chest out
I'm proud to call her mine
They're just jealous of what we got
'Cause they know that Layla fine
And they tried telling me don't get caught up
She been doing this for years
But, I got them hard ears
So this is going to end in tears
And that's exactly what it did
When she played me for a fool

Can't believe I see her with him
After me and him was cool
And she's trying to butter me up
Like, "Babe, it's not even like that
Just because you see him
All over my story on my Snapchat"
Trying to draw me back
And she keeps calling out my name
But, I'm avoiding her calls
I ain't got time for none of these games
It's always the same
I just wish I learned sooner
Let me introduce you to Layla aka the Dunya
