Advice To A Brother

[Verse 1: Nasser]
Yo, assalamu 3lykum my brudda what's good
I hope you're well inshallah
This is Nasser from North speaking
I hope you're well my akh
Yeah bro I'm just ringing you to let you know it's peak out here man
All my boys are either dead or in jail
And the rest of them are caught up in this madness
I don't wanna be another useless head on the roads bro
Tryna focus on my deen but every time I focus
Shaytan's pulling me in this trap my akh
I don't know what to do bro it's peak man
It's peak bro, I hope you understand
I know my life is crazy but I take it like a man
Wanna finish the Qur'an and really help that I can (yeah)
Yeah I'm feeling really lost, can you help me find a plan?

[Verse 2: Muslim Belal]
Yo, wa'alaykum as-salam, wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu
My brother, my nephew
I listen to your story and I see it, got a clear view
Life isn't easy, it's a struggle, I hear you
But we understand our purpose, we know this is a test
We won't pass with flying colours but we gotta do our best
And hold on to Islam, don't run towards haraam
Even if it feels like hot coal inside your palm
And the streets ain't easy, I was raised on them too
So when you're narrating your story, I'm relating to you
Yeah I've been there
Living on these roads with no fear
They try preach to you what you're living with no care
While deep inside, you know that emptiness is there
Allah's the only One that can help
You can't do this by yourself
I know you understand me
You gotta start making changes, gradually
Work on your heart first then that'll effect your character
Then all the rules that you set will get easier
Before you know it, you'll be in the masjid every Fajr
Front row dhikr, pilin' up the barakah
Go make your mum proud, forget banging that gun loud
No regrets when the angels come round
You say you're from Yemen, you should have that Arabic locked down
You should be leading the prayers in your block now
Man of your household, keep your chin up and your gaze low
Walk on those streets with that noor glow
Big beard and white thobe, you know how this thing goes
Yo, you know how this thing goes
Lord knows
