lyrics
(keys jingle in a fist) They said wait for a husband. I bought the floor. (yalla, yalla) Baba said wait, the man provides I stacked my cash in a coffee tin Now it's my name, bold, notarized On every page — khalas, I win (khalas, khalas) They kept talking while I saved (wallah, wallah) They kept sleeping while I paid Now say it right at the gate My name on the deed, name on the deed Habibi, read it — name on the deed My name on the deed, name on the deed No ring, no permission, all me (read it, read it) Auntie said it's a disgrace A woman signing on her own Then she asked for my guest space Two months, wallah, she's still home (hi, auntie) Mama, come see the view The city looks brand new Your daughter just did what you Were never allowed to do (habibti, come see) My name on the deed, name on the deed Ink dry, first of the line — name on the deed My name on the deed, name on the deed Every lock answers to me (miftah! miftah!) (keys jingle) (yalla, come up) The door's already open.
