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
