Alhamdulillah Lyrics - Singles - Too Phat

Chorus 

Ult li albi bissaraha (I'm opening up my heart with honesty) 

Hayya nab'idil karaha (Let's avoid the hated and hatred) 

Syakkireena a' kulli na'ma (Let's remain thankful with what we have) 

Ba' ideena anil fattana (Let's avoid all lies and sins) 

Verse 1 

I feel the heat 

From these 4 candles burning 

As I'm staring out the window 

In solitude I look at life 

From different angles 

Thoughts strangled 

My mind is suffocatin' 

In this truth quest 

A greed law 

That we abide by is ruthless 

Enough will never satisfy 

Until we toothless 

Filthy millionaires 

Are gamblin' until they muflis 

A sad fact of life 

But mankind approved this 

I gotta call Him 

Sajadah is where the booth is 

I'll make it clear that 

I ain't even tryin' to preach here 

By sharing thoughts I hope 

To find a little peace here 

I thank Allah for blessing me 

To be creative 

So here's a diss for me 

For bein' unappreciative 

Wanted a perfect life 

Yeah smile then die old 

Fame, money, women 

Phat cribos and white gold 

Drive my own Beemer 

Before I hit two six 

A straight pink bitin' toothpicks 

Who walk around town wit' two chicks 

And doin' new hits to woo tricks.... 

Now that's wrong 

Pleasure from partyin' 

And bull ish don't last long 

A lotta yuppies sneakin' 

Cars out when dad's gone 

Crackin' bottles in clubs 

Frontin' designer fashion 

But I ain't about 

To trade happiness for a Jag 

So stop smilin' with your ragtop down 

Cause for a fact 

I don't care about your money 

Or how slick your car 

'Cause no matter how rich and big you are 

It's still Allahuakbar... 

Chorus 

Ult li albi bissaraha (I'm opening up my heart with honesty) 

Hayya nab'idil karaha (Let's avoid the hated and hatred) 

Syakkireena a' kulli na'ma (Let's remain thankful with what we have) 

Ba' ideena anil fattana (Let's avoid all lies and sins) 

Verse 2 

I know that all this 

Ain't the right thing 

Partying, chasing moneys 

And material things 

Flying high 

Think nobody gonna 

Clip my wings 

I'm lying to myself 

Knowing that 

I've been neglecting 

Responsibilities 

As a healthy Muslim 

Riches and loot 

Ain't nothing 

We frontin' 

Diamonds and scrilla 

But forget to say 

Alhamdulillah 

Made my album a killer 

Plan B 

Now 2-3 droppin' 

And I wish to 

Ask for forgiveness 

Your guidance 

Protection and strength 

For humbleness and faith 

To make me a better man 

Success in foreign lands 

Never dreamt of that 

I remember being 18 

When we started Too Phat 

Now let's go back 

Three years before that 

Sometimes I forget 

Me and my parents 

Took a trip with granddad 

I remember '95 

While performing Umrah 

Made my wish in Mecca 

Right in front the Kaabah 

Dear God 

You made it possible 

When facing obstacles 

Please let me do good 

Before I pass on 

In the hospital 

And keep reciting 

The Testimony of Faith 

And find the right way 

Out of this life's maze 

Chorus 

Ult li albi bissaraha (I'm opening up my heart with honesty) 

Hayya nab'idil karaha (Let's avoid the hated and hatred) 

Syakkireena a' kulli na'ma (Let's remain thankful with what we have) 

Ba' ideena anil fattana (Let's avoid all lies and sins) 

La Li ya ruhi bi (The soul in my self is not mine) 

Ya ya Lali (Not mine) 

Lalia Ya ruhia ( The soul is not mine) 

Ya hayati ( My life) 

Verse 3 

Ay yo... 

Two candles go out 

That's when 

I feel the wind blow 

I haven't met Fatim 

For two years 

Been livin' like I'm single 

Evaluatin' all the friendships 

Relationship 

The reason it's the tenth year 

Is 'cause she's a patient chick 

And as far as friends are concerned 

Many I've had it all 

From those who cried for my pain 

To those who plotted my fall 

I learned to differentiate 

Fakes from the great 

Mates from the snakes 

Apes wanna beef 

Hate's all it takes 

For me to blow 

A diss song for you 

Not even worthy 

As an album filler 

So now it's smiles 

And Alhamdulillah 

Yeah, love me 

Or hate me 

This who I am 

Look at the past at times 

I wish that I was born again 

So I can rectify mistakes 

And my wrong doings 

Attempts on minimizing my sins 

Before my story ends 

I ain't no Eddie Murphy 

Tryin' to sound as a holy man 

But if I tried to be a better person 

Now I prolly can 

(Wait...) 

Who am I to advise you 

I ain't been the best 

Of God's slaves 

Just a poet writin' 

What my thought says 

A little house 

A little car 

A little sweet girl 

Thank you Lord 

I'll try to slow it down 

On the cheap thrills 

This song will prolly stir 

A little controversy 

At least I ain't be rappin' 

Bout the stuff 

As tho' I'm born in Jersey 

Stage name is Malique 

And lost name is Cairel 

Mama told me 

Stop complaining too much, 

So I will... 

Chorus 

Ult li albi bissaraha (I'm opening up my heart with honesty) 

Hayya nab'idil karaha (Let's avoid the hated and hatred) 

Syakkireena a' kulli ni'ma (Let's remain thankful with what we have) 

Ba' ideena anil fattana (Let's avoid all lies and sins) 

La Li ya ruhi bi (The soul in my self is not mine) 

Ya ya Lali (Not mine) 

Lalia Ya ruhia ( The soul is not mine) 

Ya hayati ( My life)
