Cry

[Intro: Castillo] x2
Dunya, dunya thuboot...
Samakan wa 7oot...

[Verse: Muslim Belal]
They can look me in the eye and ask me a question
And I probably would have lied
But the truth is, yeah I do
Like you and everybody else, I cry
I cry because I understand the meaning of this life
I understand the purpose of this life
See, I can stand there like, nah, man ain't cried for years
But the truth is, I probably cried last night
Standing in my room, switched off the light, face down on the floor
Big conversation with my Lord
Probably talking about Sumaya, that's my daughter
She's only 4 years old
She don't live with me, but I made sure I only moved 10 minutes up the road
Because my relationship with her, has to be gold
Praying she grows up to love me
Killed me when she was only 6 months old, and she didn't wanna hug me
Now why's she crying every time I pick her up
I'm OCD but I don't mind if she throws up on my Givenchy
Cuz she means more to me than any jeans and tea
That's my world, my baby girl
I look in your face and I see my face
I'm just a man of many mistakes, I find it hard to commit to love
Is that just the result of what love was shown to me when I was growing up?
I still struggle to give my own mum a hug
And say the words "I love you"
Trust me those words are more than true
And I know right know she proud of me
I went to her workplace the other day, saw all these newspaper cutouts of me behind her desk
Pretending I couldn't see
I don't know why, but yes, it's things like that makes me leave, get in the car, start to drive, and I can easily break down and cry
It's like I got all this love, deep inside and I just don't know how to show it
The benefits of me being a poet, you get to express and exhale to the rest of the world
You see I love my dad, I love my dad and I love the man he is
But I could cry cuz I hardly know half his kids
And their meant to be my brothers and sisters
Like we don't share the same mother but surely we're meant to have a bond with each other
See my family's big but I feel so alone in this world
Like it's just me and you, me and my little girl
And when I travel the world and I see those other boys and girls
That're struggling to find food to eat
I could cry cuz I got the cheek to deliver a speech after I spent £500 on these shoes on my feet
Feel to cry every time I commit a sin
I commit a sin and then I go to my mailbox and see all these messages coming in
And they're giving me praise, like wow
If they ever knew some of the things I do these days
You see I don't do none of this for glory
I don't tell my story so the people can adore me
I just do this so the Lord that created me can erase the things that were destroying me
The things that were making me cry

[Chorus: Castillo] x2
انما الدنيا فناء، ليس للدنيا ثبوت
Innama ad-dunya fanaa', laysa lid-dunya thuboot
انما الدنيا كبحر، يحتوى سمكا وحوت
Innama ad-dunya kaba7ru, yahtawi samakan wa 7oot
ولرب يكفيك منها ايها الطالب قوت
Wa larubba yakfeeka minha, ayyuha a6-6aalibu qoot
ولعمرى عن قليل كل من فيها يموت
Wa la 3mri 3n qaleelin kulla man feeha yamoot

[Outro: Castillo]
