[Intro: Brother Ali]
Here's a little something 'bout a seeker like me

[Chorus: Brother Ali]
I'm trying not to take it personal
But I'm a person, though
If I'm blessed to see Heaven, I'll be perfect, yo
But at this minute, I'm spinning on the Earth below
Yeah, I already know
I'm trying not to take it personal
But I'm a person, though
I don't want to be the clown up in the circus show
If I change, you'll be the first to know

[Verse: Brother Ali]
I love the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him
But if I'm being honest, I'm so far from him
These people hear me talking and say, "Aw, that's nice"
But I don't criticize my children in my podcast voice
That ain't right
I got a platinum soul, a solid-gold heart
A steel-trap mind and that's a damn good start
But, yo, this ego of mine, it's like a festival urinal
All day, always tryna ruin it all
And so I wash and I pray, I sit and I breathe
I do the mantras all day and I click on the beads
I tell the therapist the narrative that's livin' in me
And walk around actin' like what I wish I could be
It isn't hypocrisy, that's a target I'm aimin' at
Doesn't mean I'm claimin' it by namin' it
But I know the closer I get and the more that they watch
It hurts 'em more when I slip, they get hit by stray shots
My God
[Chorus: Brother Ali]
I'm trying not to take it personal
But I'm a person, though
If I'm blessed to see Heaven, I'll be perfect, yo
But at this minute, I'm spinning on the Earth below
I already know
Trying not to take it personal
But I'm a person, though
I don't want to be the clown up in the circus show
If I change, you'll be the first to know
