Fatima's Hand - Outlandish

(feat. Majid)

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 the parents
Cause 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 cause the streets be babbling
Like a Bedouin in a desert 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 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!!!

[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
Cause 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 l
