Lyrics The Reign (Wudu) - Hasan Salaam

Said I ain't no saint, No wings or halo
Made so many mistakes that I thought them gates closed
Came so close to sellin my fate yo
I shoulda been dead but I don't have that safe so
I'm livin on borrowed time
Plus I feel the hellfire creepin on me all of the time
Just to live by the motto what yours is mine
I would steal than chill like it was always mine
But got to that point suttin had to stop
Either my ways or the days or see the burial plot
Mine was so hot couldn't drop for Salah
Musta been what Malcolm thought when he was pickin a lock
We've been brainwashed and forgot
That the fact of the matter is Allah's the best of planners
Life is no accident, Confused the truth in my pursuit of savageness
The glass is half full but I saw the wrong half of it
And at them points I lost control, Allah was right there to let it cleanse my soul

I done sold it all from incense and oils
To mixed work with dirt in tinfoil
Aughta make sure that the green wouldn't spoil
I easily entangled myself in the snakes coils
See my blood boil than i've gotten that rush
Anytime something to do with moneys discussed
The closest to God we see 'In God we Trust'
Like it could really go with me when I return to the dust
But what made me different than any other whore?
When I was fuckin shorty while they recorded by the door
Throwin hundreds at the door like give it to her more
And the dumbest part about it I did it to her raw
Course Truth only gonna shame the guilty
Feeling I ain't worth shit and probably never will be
Plans for death or for someone to kill me
Couldn't clean up my souls filthy
Problem was I couldn't even forgive me
But at the lowest point Allah was right there with me

I dun risen through sinnin
And fallen through virtue
Hurt those I love the most never deserved to
Got it in since a shorty out breakin curfew
On this highway to Hell
Shit I span and swerved through
Alcoholic but far from anonymous
Had wifey but was far from monogamous
Constantly fuckin up the drownin in the consequence
And at that time she was the only thing positive
But opposites attract only problem with that
I kept draggin her down, Straight holdin her back
Didn't interact and slid off track
Than our plans for the future disappeared off the map
She said a dog gets fleas from where he lies
And I lied and cheated just one too many times
Suttin I despise had to keep it inside
Cuz a part of her died everytime she cried
Had to put aside my pride for a word to the wise
Than her eyes opened up like the storm filled skies
