Asalamu Alaykum

ASALAMU ALAYKUM
WA ALAYKUM WASALAAM

FROM THE HORN TO THE GROVE I STROLL
THE STREETS ARE PAVED WITH MY SOLE
NOMADIC BY NATURE ON A ROLL
I’VE SEEN AND HEARD IT ALL
DRESS LIKE A BARBIE DOLL
MUM’S STILL HAVE A BALL
SISTER ON A COLLECT CALL
SELLING IN A DUBAI MALL

ASALAMU ALAYKUM
WA ALAYKUM WASALAAM

TWENTY YEARS STILL ON THE DOLE
MOOD SWINGS LIKE SUMMER AND FALL
IF YOU STILL CHEWING CHAAT IN SOUTHALL
YOU HAVEN’T SEEN NOTHING AT ALL
LIKE THE POWER FREAK IN WHITEHALL
THE BURDEN HAS TAKEN ITS TALL
WIFEY TOOK ALL CONTROL
MALI WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR ROLE

ASALAMU ALAYKUM
WA ALAYKUM WASALAAM

LIKE THE %$#@*&? THAT DISAPPEAR IN A HOLE
THE DEVIL BOUGHT AYAN’S SOUL
DIVIDE AND RULE HIS GOAL
I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD IT ALL
MY PARLIAMENT IS HAVING A BRAWL
WHILE OTHER PEOPLE GO TO THE POLL
THE STRONG MUST STAND TALL
AND TAG OUR NAME ON THE WALL

ASALAMU ALAYKUM
WA ALAYKUM WASALAAM
