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...)
