Fatima's Hand

Yeah, it's like, it's like Fatima is 21
And around here when your 21
You gotta start thinking about getting a man
Getting a son, getting it done

Just like her mom when she was 21
But even though Fatima's not ready for it
She not gonna say some
She feels she gotta do this for her parents
'Cuz they've been on her for the last 5 years

A lotta men from motherland
Came up here hoping she say yeah
But she ain't down
Wants somebody that can make her feel alive
Chill every time she wanna cry

The one in a million type of guy
But her mom keeps telling her
"Compromise, this ain't no fairy tale my child
Do not waste your time
You'll regret you didn't say yes to this guy"

Everyday is the same
Like a battlefield, she gets the blame
Bringing shame on the family name
Just 'cuz the streets be babbling

Like a Bedouin in a dessert storm
She lays low from all their songs
Try to make 'em understand
But it's like talking to the wall

Her desire's burning to change her ill state
It's strange, for the first time in a long time
She sees the light in the end

She brings the pain within your brain
Y'all don't really wanna understand her thang
Boo be really strong enough to maintain
Through your bullshit, it ain't nothing but pain

She knows
In the name of Fatima's hand she don't go wrong
In the name of Fatima's hand she will move on
Hey hoping everything will be alright

I see tears in everybody's eyes
But I don't understand why
Mama standing in the kitchen
Preparing dinner while she cries

As the pain spreads inside
'Cuz something that's going on
Denial of my first question
Second time got no respond

To lose someone
That had always been there
She always had my back
And she always did care

So with these lines right here
I wanna explain how much I love you
No matter what you do I will forever stay true
Until this day can't nobody tear us apart

10 years is past
But you're still living in my heart
Truly no poetry can explain how much I miss ya
No matter where you are you will always be my sister

She brings the pain within your brain
Y'all don't really wanna understand her thang
Boo be really strong enough to maintain
Through your bullshit, it ain't nothing but pain

But she knows
In the name of Fatima's hand she don't go wrong
In the name of Fatima's hand she will move on
Hey hoping everything will be alright

Con la mano de Fatima
Sobre su alma encantadora
Su camino es protegido
No importa cual escoga

Y ella fue escogida
Para verla y admirarla
En sus ojos tiene un algo
Impecable es su retrato

Y cada vez que pasa
Lo duro se ablndese
La noche se agrndese
Lo malo desvanece

No la olvidaran, la esperaran
Al otro lado de esta vida
Su amor alumbrara, su voz les cantara
En las memorias hay momentos de pasin

Afecto y comprensin, retratos y recuerdos
Dando vuelta en las fantasas
Su aura es alegra
Lleva la mano de Fatima

She brings the pain within your brain
Y'all don't really wanna understand her thang
Boo be really strong enough to maintain
Through your bullshit, it ain't nothing but pain

She knows
In the name of Fatima's hand she don't go wrong
In the name of Fatima's hand she will move on
Hey hoping everything will be alright

She brings the pain within your brain
Y'all don't really wanna understand her thang
Boo be really strong enough to maintain
Through your bullshit, it ain't nothing but pain

She knows
In the name of Fatima's hand she don't go wrong
In the name of Fatima's hand she will move on
Hey hoping everything will be alright
