lyrics

(bismillah... let's go)
(yalla, yalla)

Mama baked bread at five a.m.
Flour on her hands like snow
I swore one day I'd cover them
In gold — she laughed, said "yalla, go"
(yalla, go)

From a stairwell with one light
(one light)
To a skyline burning bright

Wallah, I made it (mama, look!)
Wallah, I made it (habibi, look!)
Every damn door they shut, I took
Wallah, I made it — wallah, I made it
(from the mud to the mountaintop)

They spat my name like it was dirt
Now it's in lights above the door
I framed my grandfather's work shirt
And mama doesn't work no more
(alhamdulillah)

Wallah, I made it (mama, look!)
Wallah, I made it (habibi, look!)
Every damn door they shut, I took
Wallah, I made it — wallah, I made it
(from the mud to the mountaintop)

Khubz and salt, that's where I'm from
(khubz and salt)
Break bread with me, or don't come
(wallah)

Wallah, I made it (mama, look!)
Wallah, I made it (habibi, look!)
Every damn door they shut, I took
Wallah, I made it — wallah, I made it
(from the mud to the mountaintop)

(mama on the phone: "habibi, eat")
(yalla... yalla...)
