don't let yourself go
be true to yourself
don't fall for this world
the truth is Islam
status will fade away
money will come and go
run away from this world
remember judgement will come

run
run
runaway let me take you
away to a place to just save you
from this world that was made to
pick you up then break you down
so hold my hand and let me take you now
and we can go, we can go far
for we don't need money and we don't need cars
we don't need nothing
but Allah
the One and only we need
so just hold me please
and don't ever let me go
and let the Shaitan (Satan) know
that you won't be back
for your back on track
and you're moving forward
got your life sorted
prayed 5 times a day, like your Lord ordered
and we can turn the page
and forget the bad deeds from yesterday
for they've all been erased
all been deleted
as long as you promise to Allah that you won't repeat it
you won't do it again
so hold on tight unto your good deeds friends
and until the very end
don't let yourself go

don't let yourself go
be true to yourself
don't fall for this world
the truth is Islam
status will fade away
money will come and go
run away from this world
remember judgement will come

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem
(In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.)
if they offered you the sun
in exchange for your soul
then turn around and run, run
the life of this world is nothing but fun
play and amusement
until it's over and done
don't put your faith in this life
don't put your hopes in this world
not for a sky full of stars
not for an ocean of pearls
if there were deserts of diamonds
if there were mountains of gold
if there were pieces of platinum the size of theglobe
it wouldn't compare to the light of your soul
the more you refine it
the brighter it glows
they want you lost in the darkness
they want your heart to be cold
they want you following blindly
until your coffin is closed
and what you hold in your palms
i know it's hotter than coals
but if you knew what it was worth
you would not let go

don't let yourself go
be true to yourself
don't fall for this world
the truth is Islam
status will fade away
money will come and go
run away from this world
remember judgement will come

i know you feel alone
but can we paint the stars on the sunset
sunset
sunset
it's hard being a Muslim teen in the far west
but i have to confess
that life is just moments taped together with duc-tape
and if i have to write a way i'll always find You right away
i want to find my meaning in the poems i compose
i want to find life but instead i lost hope
i shrouded my dreams behind clouds in the sky
i never did account for the rays of sunlight
and when i think of God i always say it'll bealright
because with every new dawn comes a bright sunrise
and i'm writing this for the army living in yourheart
this is for the little boy who needs strength
for that young sister who just wanted to change
i pray for your soul
never let yourself go

don't let yourself go
be true to yourself
don't fall for this world
the truth is Islam
status will fade away
money will come and go
run away from this world
remember judgement will come
