m**m Belal - Black Slave lyrics

[Chorus: m**m Belal & Faisal Salah] x5 Black Slave, came a long way from my old days Now I live life in the slow lane Making my way to my destiny [Bridge 1: m**m Belal] x2 I guess we forgot what we came for What we're made for What we're aiming for I guess we forget our purpose And we're still lost in this life that's worthless [Verse 1: m**m Belal] Well as the sky turn's black, my future starts to fade And all I have is what I see in front of me today Cuz this could be the last hour, that's the reality I worry about tomorrow, when he greets me Black boy lost till the age of nineteen Pick up my first book, I'm inspired now to read I always had that image of a badboy in the street Always had a crazy love for Allah, inside of me Now what's the truth of the life of this world See I was sitting there, asking myself Cuz I could go for money, or girls quite easy I could be that superstar, always seen on TV But does it make me happy? Will it make me smile? Does this last for ever? Or just a short while? What happens after the nightclubs? After all the raids? Or after all the fame, when my name starts to fade? Or after old age, when my bones start to fray? What happens after the church, or the mosque, or the grave? [Chorus: m**m Belal & Faisal Salah] x2 Black Slave, came a long way from my old days Now I live life in the slow lane Making my way to my destiny [Verse 2: m**m Belal] They say, the topic of d**h is depressing I say, it depends on the brother and a vision Cuz after these years, we're surviving in a prison I pray there's a life waitin' for us in the heaven Imagine, a land of justice and perfection No more police, poverty or politicians After being in them streets, victim of the system We're finally free, runnin' round like the children This could all be, I know it won't be easy One from every thousand, I want that one to be me Livin' in a land of no rain Always good weather, stopped partyin' today So I could party there forever And they don't see the vision like I see it They're caught up in this life, they're lost, so be it I wanna chill with my wife with a Moroccan mint tea Visualised in paradise, that's where I wanna be [Bridge 2: m**m Belal] But it's like I got this dunya on my shoulder The young brothers say they can't rely upon their olders So they're, coming to me with all their questions MB, what I can do about my hollow-filled obsessions And I'll be like, "Wow, how did I end up here?" It's funny how life could turn around within some years The other day I was trappin', droppin' off a sample Now they say I'm settin' an example Dealin' with a handful of sins, trimmed down from a mountain Looking at my past life, the gang I rode around in Sippin' at the Zamzam fountain With my ihram around my 'awrah round my brown skin Lookin' like a- [Chorus: m**m Belal & Faisal Salah] x2 Black Slave, came a long way from my old days Now I live life in the slow lane Making my way to my destiny
