These young thugs, being hard, living life on edge, Doing drugs, being scarred by delusions of their age they’re their own slave master, Do anything they can to make their hearts pumping faster, No fear of disaster Tick tick tock, it’s a count down timer, Quick, now stop, take a lesson from a rhymer 80 beats per minute, but as youth we feel infinite From the up-beat in the beginning, every symphony has been written Cos God’s controlling the pulse, counting the throbs, even the strokes Every half-note and quiver, has been written in the books when that last beat drum’s, all your past deeds comes, Good deeds will only matter, better best bring some... Verse 3 4800 an hour, 100 000 a day that's 42 million per annum, man you aint got time to play cos praying is what pays when investing in heaven drop the cocaine and the clubs, and the vices of Satan cos he is the one that diverts you, yeah till you visit the graves then realise a life of virtue So, sieze the day, make it count, make a change believe in Allah, His angels, books, the last day the greatest of man, all the prophets who came... until Muhammad the last, Peace be upon him we say Predestination the plan...penned by God’s almighty Hand Heaven awaits those who contemplate and understand
