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.
