UnTouchable

Chorus Ult li albi bissaraha (I’m opening up my heart with honesty) Hayya nab’idil karaha (Let’s avoid the hated and hatred) Syakkireena a’ kulli ni’ma (Let’s remain thankful with what we have) Ba’ ideena anil fattana (Let’s avoid all lies and sins)

Verse 1

I feel the heat From these 4 candles burning As I’m staring out the window In solitude I look at life From different angles Thoughts strangled My mind is suffocatin’ In this truth quest A greed law That we abide by is ruthless Enough will never satisfy Until we toothless Filthy millionaires Are gamblin’ until they muflis A sad fact of life But mankind approved this I gotta call Him Sajadah is where the booth is I’ll make it clear that I ain’t even tryin’ to preach ya By sharing thoughts I hope To find a little peace here I thank Allah for blessing me To be creative So here’s a diss for me For bein’ unappreciative Wanted a perfect life Yeah smile then die old Fame, money, women Phat cribos and white gold Drive my own Beemer Before I hit two six A straight pink bitin’ toothpicks Who walk around town wit’ two chicks And doin’ new hits to woo tricks…. Now that’s wrong Pleasure from partyin’ And bullshit don’t last long A lotta yuppies sneakin’ Cars out when dad’s gone Crackin’ bottles in clubs Frontin’ designer fashion But I ain’t about To trade happiness for a Jag So stop smilin’ with your ragtop down Cause for a fact I don’t care about your money Or how slick your car ‘Cause no matter how rich and big you are It’s still Allahuakbar…

Verse 2

I know that all this Ain’t the right thing Partying, chasing moneys And material things Flying high Think nobody gonna Clip my wings I’m lying to myself Knowing that I’ve been neglecting Responsibilities As a healthy Muslim Riches and loot Ain’t nothing We frontin’ Diamonds and scrilla But forget to say Alhamdulillah Made my album a killer Plan B Now 2-3 droppin’ And I wish to Ask for forgiveness Your guidance Protection and strength For humbleness and faith To make me a better man Success in foreign lands Never dreamt of that I remember being 18 When we started Too Phat Now let’s go back Three years before that Sometimes I forget Me and my parents Took a trip with granddad I remember ‘95 While performing Umrah Made my wish in Mecca Right in front the Kaabah Dear God You made it possible When facing obstacles Please let me do good Before I pass on In the hospital And keep reciting The Testimony of Faith And find the right way Out of this life’s maze

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I’m sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won’t lose no sleep on that,
‘Cause I’ve got a plan.

You’re beautiful. You’re beautiful.
You’re beautiful, it’s true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don’t know what to do,
‘Cause I’ll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,
And I don’t think that I’ll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You’re beautiful. You’re beautiful.
You’re beautiful, it’s true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don’t know what to do,
‘Cause I’ll never be with you.
You’re beautiful. You’re beautiful.
You’re beautiful, it’s true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it’s time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

I waited ’til I saw the sun
I don’t know why I didn’t come
I left you by the house of fun
I don’t know why I didn’t come
I don’t know why I didn’t come

When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand

My heart is drenched in wine
But you’ll be on my mind
Forever

Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
But I’ll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road along

My heart is drenched in wine
But you’ll be on my mind
Forever

Something has to make you run
I don’t know why I didn’t come
I feel as empty as a drum
I don’t know why I didn’t come
I don’t know why I didn’t come
I don’t know why I didn’t come

I waited ’til I saw the sun
I don’t know why I didn’t come
I left you by the house of fun
I don’t know why I didn’t come
I don’t know why I didn’t come

When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand

My heart is drenched in wine
But you’ll be on my mind
Forever

Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
But I’ll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road along

My heart is drenched in wine
But you’ll be on my mind
Forever

Something has to make you run
I don’t know why I didn’t come
I feel as empty as a drum
I don’t know why I didn’t come
I don’t know why I didn’t come
I don’t know why I didn’t come

At eight o’clock we said goodbye, that’s when I left her house for mine. She said that she’d be staying in - well she had to be at work by nine. So I get home and have a bath, and let an hour or two pass; drifting in front of my TV, when a film comes on that she wants to see.

It’s Monday Morning 5:19, and I’m still wondering where she’s been, ‘cos every time I try to call I just get her machine. And now it’s almost six am, and I don’t want to try again, ‘cos if she’s still not back then this must be the end.

.At first I guess she’s gone to get herself a pack of cigarettes, a pint of milk, food for the cat, but it’s midnight now and she’s still not back.

It’s Monday Morning 5:19, and I’m still wondering where she’s been, ‘cos every time I try to call I just get her machine. And now it’s almost six am, and I don’t want to try again, ‘cos if she’s still not back then heaven knows, what then, is this the end?

At half past two I picture her in the back of someone else’s car - he runs his fingers through her hair… Oh you shouldn’t let him touch you there!

The lights come on, I track her moves: locking the door, crossing the room. She’s on the phone again, and when she laughs I feel my blood rushing - I feel my blood rush to my heart…

I call her up and disconnect, wait by her house once more to check, stare through the window of her kitchenette, and then I follow her down underground escalators, hiding behind my newspaper until the time when we’re together.

So here we are, alone again; I’m in the dark, she’s in her frame, her window bay.

I play the film back through my mind with a few new scenes I’ve designed; maybe I’ll write her one or two more lines, and then I’ll follow her down underground escalators, hiding behind my newspaper until the time when we’re together.

Together, together, together, together…

Together, when we’re together,
Together, when we’re together,
Together…

Sugar high, then she drops me,

from the sky, but it never stops me.

From the very first taste it began,

I only want to make her understand,

hold her as she melts into my hands,

even if she acts like she can’t stand me,

that’s just my Hard Candy.

That’s just my Hard Candy.

Glycerine is in my veins.

It’s serene, till she runs out again.

From the very first taste it began,

I only want to make her understand,

hold her as she melts into my hands,

even if she acts like she can’t stand me,

that’s just my Hard Candy.

That’s just my Hard Candy, Candy.

Such a waste, when she leaves me,

a bitter taste, when I want her to feed me.

All the shiny paper’s just a sham,

I only want to make her understand…

hold her as she melts into my hands,

even if she acts like she can’t stand me,

That’s just my Hard Candy,

That’s just my Hard Candy.

Two jumps in a week,
I bet you think that’s pretty clever don’t you boy?
Flying on your motorcycle,
watching all the ground beneath you drop
You’d kill yourself for recognition,
kill yourself to never, ever stop
You broke another mirror,
you’re turning into something you are not

Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry
Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry

Drying up in conversation,
you’ll be the one who cannot talk
All your insides fall to pieces,
you just sit there wishing you could still make love
They’re the ones who’ll hate you
when you think you’ve got the world all sussed out
They’re the ones who’ll spit on you,
you’ll be the one screaming out

Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry
Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry

Oh, it’s the best thing that you ever had,
the best thing that you ever, ever had.
It’s the best thing that you ever had,
the best thing you have had has gone away.

Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry
Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry
Don’t leave me high,
Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry

Karma police
arrest this man,
he talks in maths,
he buzzes like a fridge,
he’s like a detuned radio.

Karma police
arrest this girl,
her Hitler hairdo
is making me feel ill
and we have crashed her party.

This is what you get,
this is what you get,
this is what you get,
when you mess with us.

Karma police
I’ve given all I can,
it’s not enough,
I’ve given all I can
but we’re still on the payroll.

This is what you get,
this is what you get,
this is what you get,
when you mess with us.

For a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself.
Phew, for a minute there,
I lost myself, I lost myself.

For a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself.
Phew, for a minute there,
I lost myself, I lost myself.

When you try your best but you don’t succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can’t sleep
Stuck in reverse

When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can’t replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

High up above or down below
when you’re too in love to let it go
If you never try you’ll never know
Just what you’re worth

Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face and I

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
