[Intro: Kamal & Essam]

Man, how's everything

Everything good, I'm good, I'm good, man, I'm good

You don't look yourself anymore man

Tell me what's wrong


[Verse 1: Essam]

Truth is my life is a mess

I’m sad and upset, sick and depressed

I got stress on my chest, man I’m sinking in debt

My relationships wrecked and it’s breaking my neck

And I can’t find a job, man I got nothing left

Asked me how I was, man I wish I was dead

I’m upset I’m upset, man I’m upset


[Verse 2: Kamal Saleh]

Woah, brother just breathe man, lift up your head

I understand what you mean – but don’t you forget

This life is a test, that’s what Allah said

He made life and death to test who was best in deeds

I mean what’d you expect

For it to be ease, for it to be rest

For us to just leave, for us to be left

To say that we believe without any tests?

Nah, of course it gets hard, as tests become large

But as hard as it gets, it doesn’t last


[Verse 3: Essam]

Brother I understand what you’re saying

I just don’t have the patience

I’m tired and anxious, I swear I can’t take this

I can feel myself breaking, I don’t know if God hates me

Because that’s what they say to me

I’m stressed and depressed 'cause apparently I’m low in Imaan?

Or it is as though I’m not reading the Qur'an

Man I’m trying my best, I’m just sick of it man

I don’t know why it’s happening to me, I just don’t understand


[Verse 4: Kamal Saleh]

Brother you just keep the doing the best that you can

And whatever happens, it happens it’s all in God’s plan

Just put your trust in Allah, it’s all in His hands

And ignore what they say 'cause they misunderstand

See Allah will test those that He loves

Just look at the best of the best, the Messenger of Allah

He had it so tough, he had it so rough, man he had it so hard

Yet despite it all, he was the most beloved


[Verse 5: Essam & Kamal]

Brother I’m trying to believe, but I’m torn and I’m weak

See at night I can’t sleep, from all my worry and grief

It’s brought me to my knees

Then in that case you’re in the best place you can possibly be

To call upon your Lord in need

For verily in the remembrance of God, hearts finds relief

Brother please

I’m sorry you don’t know my story, you don’t know where I’ve been

Yeah – but I know that surely after every hardship comes ease

Surely after every hardship comes ease

So don’t lose hope and don’t you ever despair

And no matter how hard it gets

Allah will never burden your soul more than it can bear

I’m only saying this because I love you, Wallahi I swear

Thank you my brother, it’s good to have someone there

To have somebody by my side who actually cares

So I thank you for listening, just please keep on visiting

I’m sorry if I was bickering, I know have flaws

I just need your support

Brother this is exactly what Muslims are for

This is what the Prophet ﷺ he taught

So don’t be afraid to reach out for help

Don’t be ashamed to look out for your health

And know that in order to change, it starts with yourself

May Allah make it easy for you and everyone else


[Outro: Essam]

Praying for their souls, praying for their souls

I’m praying for their souls, praying for their souls
