TRANQUILO

[Chorus: KHXLED SIDDIQ] I've been out here gettin' on my Deen, bro Every day, balancing good and evil You know I do it for the Lord, not the people So tell them boys better keep it tranquilo We don't wanna hear a word, not a peep, bro Can't you see our brothers dying on the streets though? Every day a mother's crying, where'd the peace go? 'Cause I know you hear them sirens when police go [Verse 1: KHXLED SIDDIQ] Swear dis life is not a game or a playground Gwan shot up, let dem think there no spare round Gotta keep your wits close, better lay down When police come, run like a greyhound Blackout (blackout), in the lanes them a real gon' clap us (Clap us) Mothers crying cah their heart dem shut off (Shut off) The youths, why dem now denyin' their mothers? Surrounded by drugs and money and trappers [Pre-Chorus: KHXLED SIDDIQ] So you know we affi stick to the Deen, bro Dead or jail if you live by di street code So don't be chasin' the stars or no' the gyal and the cars Keep your head down and keep it tranquilo [Chorus: KHXLED SIDDIQ] I've been out here gettin' on my Deen, bro Every day, balancing good and evil You know I do it for the Lord, not the people So tell them boys better keep it tranquilo We don't wanna hear a word, not a peep, bro Can't you see our brothers dying on the streets though? Every day a mother's crying, where'd the peace go? 'Cause I know you hear them sirens when police go [Verse 2: Mohammed Yahya] Lately, I feel disowned And broken and all alone The devils have planted seeds of hatred inside my soul I'm running, where can I go? (Lord, I truly know) I try to hide my flaws but to You they always show 'Cause You know me better than I know myself Struggling with mental health Don't ask for help, so no one could tell Suffering inside my shell Still I praise the Lord and it's prayed on the d-low I manouevre silent, got to keep it tranquilo These streets are heartless Quick, turn you into martyrs Sick, how they take our brothers Split family amongst us Regardless of the darkness, the conflict that we have started We never lost our faith so love we try to harness [Bridge: Mohammed Yahya] ٱللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّد ٱلْفَاتِحِ لِمَا أُغْلِق، وَٱلْخَاتِمِ لِمَا سَبَق، نَاصِرِ ٱلْحَقّ بِٱلْحَقّ وَٱلْهَادِي إِلَىٰ صِرَاطِكَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيم وَعَلَىٰ آلِهِ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ وَمِقْدَارِهِ ٱلْعَظِيم [Chorus: KHXLED SIDDIQ] I've been out here gettin' on my Deen, bro Every day, balancing good and evil You know I do it for the Lord, not the people So tell them boys better keep it tranquilo We don't wanna hear a word, not a peep, bro Can't you see our brothers dying on the streets though? Every day a mother's crying, where'd the peace go? 'Cause I know you hear them sirens when police go [Verse 3: Brother Ali] Money changed hands, many change friends The cloth around your frame tend to change with the trends Images placed in a frame often pretend But everything held in your hand come to an end Breathe out, in, 'til sometime and some space Loved ones dump dirt upon your face No matter how high one fly, he got to die There's something about that one devout du‘a 'Cause when the shell become irrelevant, how come the light in living hearts become illuminated? By Lord, guard the sight Some chase the body, lose life Some escape like a unchained slave, break outside Vice, only God can teach you how to guide your people Get your sight to see through all the earthly trials that greet you If your enemies defeat you, they release you Can't take the life of someone who is givin' it, tranquilo
