(feat. Majid)
Fatima is 21
And around here - when your 21

u 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 the 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
u'll regret u 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
[Chorus:]

she brings the pain within your brain
y'all don't really wanna understand her thang
boo be really strong enough to maintain

thru your bull%#@!
it ain't nothing but pain
but she knows in the name of Fatimas hand

she don't go wrong
in the name of Fatimas hand
she will move on

hey hoping everything will be alright!!!

[Majid:]

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 some one 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 u
No matter what u do I will forever stay true
Until this day

Can't nobody tear us apart
10 years is past
But u are still living in my heart

truly no poetry can explain how much I miss ya
No matter where u are U will always be my sister


[Chorus...]

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 ablandese
la noche se agrandese
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 pasion
afecto y comprension, retratos y recuerdos

dando vuelta en las fantasias
su aura es alegria
lleva la mano de Fatima

[Chorus:]
