[Intro 1]
[Am][C][F#dim][Am][F]
[Am][E]
[Esus4][E]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Masha'Allah
As I wake up in the morning,
[G]stretch my arms wide
Be[F#dim]fore I even yawn
or wipe the [F]cold out my eyes
I [Am]say [Esus4]Al Humduli[E]llah, giving
praise to my God
[Esus4]Allowing me[E] another day,
blessing me to rise

[Verse 2]
Know [Am]at any given time,
it [C]could be my demise
[F#dim]Cause you only get a
minute to [F]pray
(And a second to die)
[Esus4]And realizing that [E]I've[Esus4]
come to terms with that
[E]One day I'm gonna burn
for all my heinous act[Am]s

[Verse 3]
I know a sincere prayer [G]can
only change [C]my [Am]fate
[F#dim]So I drop,
prostrate and [F]pray it ain't too late
For me [Esus4]to ask for forgiv[E]eness
and increase my [Esus4]faith
[E]And guide me on the path that's straight
And never lead me [Am]astray

[Verse 4]
Cause I know I can[G]'t walk this alone
[F#dim]I'm in fear of that fork in the road[F]
The devil there, waiting to [Esus4]claim my soul
So I pray that You hold my hand
As [E]I follow your footprints in the sand
[Am]Now I

[Verse 5]
know I done did some [C]wrong
And I ain't [F#dim]been to talk to you in so,
so [F]long
So I'ma hit my [Esus4]knees
and extend my palms
And send this up to you and
[E]hope [Esus4]you hear [E]this
[Em]I'll be pray[E]

[Verse 6]
[Am]in'[G]
(Prayin')
I'll be [Am]pray[F#dim]in'[F]
(Prayin')
I'll be [Esus4]prayin'
(Yeah)
I'll be prayin'
(Ayee yeah)
[E]I

[Verse 7]
often [Am]find myself stuck,
just [C]staring in space
Feel [F#dim]like hours at a ti[Am]me,
my mind drifting away
Can't [E]quite collect my thoughts
or put 'em [D]in place
And I [E]grab a glimpse of my momma
with a head full of grays

[Verse 8]
I know [Am]they shouldn't be there
(Nah)
[G]Not for her age
[Am]And then I thi[F#dim]nk of how I stressed
her and [F]shortened her days
Her long [Esus4]sleepless [E]nights,
not knowing if I was [Esus4]safe
Or was my [E]name on the list
of the reaper that day

[Verse 9]
I sink [Am]deeper as I feel a tear
[G]creep down my [Am]face
I wipe [F#dim]it away,
now my thoughts on [F]life in the grave
I know [Esus4]on that day th[E]at
three things gon' go wit ya
Ya family, ya wealth and ya deeds
but two gon' [Am]leave

[Verse 10]
And when that last [G]person
leave that [Am]site
[F#dim]The grave gon' squeeze so tight[F]
Ya ribs gon' over[Esus4]lap
[E]till every bone cra[Esus4]ck
I drop my head in despair,
[E]imagine going through that

[Verse 11]
I smell [Am]fire then I notice [G]the hole in my pants
I [Am]drop [F#dim]my cigarette butt
[F]and brush off my ash
I'm still [Esus4]stuck but[E] I
notice a car pass
I hear the driver cussin' me
out over his horn blast

[Verse 12]
[Am]Damn, this can't be [G]right,
let me snap back to [F#dim]life
How long I been stuck,
day [F]dreaming at this light?
[Esus4]Wondering if that's a sign [E]of how
[Esus4]I'm moving through life
A reckless abandon, a acci[Em]dent,
just wait[Am]ing t[Em]o happ[Am]en

[Verse 13]
A reckless aban[C]don, a acci[F#dim]dent,
just [F]waiting to happen

[Interlude 1]
[Esus4][E][Am][E][Esus4][E]
[Am][G][Am][F#dim][F]
[Esus4][E][Esus4][E]
[Am]Now

[Verse 14]
I know I done did some [C]wrong
[Am]And I ain't been[F#dim] to talk to you in so,
so [F]long
So I'ma hit my [Esus4]knees and[E]
extend my palms
[Esus4]And send this up to you and[E]
hope you hear this
[Am]

[Verse 15]
