Time will leave a message
Felt faint impressions
Scars embraced
See my face and know
It bears the lessons
And yeah I still forget 'em
I move and feign progression
I know I should be growing
Lately, I been backward stepping
Twenty-one
I should be done with all the pain, regressing
All this pain I let it
Leave me feeling breathless
I need to stop remember
Sweeter springs and dark Novembers
Ummi and Abu I have to thank you for a strong center
Never quick to anger
Still, I test my patience
Why am I always aching?
Overworked and always playing
Mind is churnin', workin', pacin'
Feet are movin' burnin' pavement
So afraid to stop
I feel so close to breaking
My family strong
Needed friends to make it
Kyra, Nicky, Auggie, Rim
They kept my heart from breaking
Shout out to Leo Levy
Simran, Toph, Syed, Khaddy
I have to give them credit
They kept my heart protected
Oh, what to say
All the years I gained
Earth spins
Time ticks, and fades away
Since I was born
Feel like I been torn
Loving youth
And hating age
It takes my days
Gives me grays
But its made me more
Much less afraid
Oh, what to say
All the years I gained
Earth spins
Time ticks, and fades away
Last week my granny passed, she used to draw my baths
Used to wipe my nose, stitch and sow
And make me laugh
Belief in God she had - it made her stronger man
She carried generations of relation on her back
The influence she had - I wanna be like that
Not just a pillar but a fulfiller of needs
I hope they say I'm strong because I always believed
In Ar-Rahman, Ar-Raheem
Out here searching for his mercy
Cuz it's all that I need
I just wanna be
Caring when people need
There when the world heaves
And we feel like can't breathe
So to Sophie, Kai, and Reem
Olaa and Jonvi
Roanne and the Mike Gs
Isaiah who's overseas
To Rami and Mish
And Mimi and Chris
To Cinque and Rae
Aneeqa and Chase
To Fatima, Salaiha
Ayesha, Amina
Know that I have made it
With support, I got from all of ya
To Ahmad and Khadeejah
Kanura and Aaliyah
Mommy and Grandma Jewel
Jedi Hassan, Daddy too
My aunties and my uncles
And sweet little cousins
Thank you for 21 years
