Khalil Ismail Nasheed, Zain Bhikha, Rasheed Bhikha - Heartbeat Lyrics

80 beats a minute, beats a minute going by
There ain't nothing in it, someday soon we gonna die
'Cause from the beginning, at the start of our lives
God decides
God decides, yeah

Tick tock, can't stop the clock
Never know when you gotta go
Never know when it's gonna stop
Pop pop, and then you drop

Your countdown begins since before you were born
Don't let a moment slip by that you'll regret when you're gone
Losing 80 beats a minute, 400 for this song
Tomorrow isn't promised
This life ain't really long
The one that's comin' after is the one that truly matters wait, stop, stop, stop

Missing a beat, drawing the heat
Gotta conspire the secret pittance or the fire we eat
By the token of time, truly mankind is lost
Whether older or young, no-one lost the boss

So with every living, breathing, beating moment that you're given
Turn attention to the one who grants your heart the permission (Grants your heart permission)
Before your clock stops tickin' (Come on)

80 beats a minute, beats a minute going by
There ain't nothing in it, someday soon we gonna die
'Cause from the beginning, at the start of our lives
God Decides
God Decides

80 beats a minute, beats a minute going by
There ain't nothing in it, someday soon we gonna die
'Cause from the beginning, at the start of our lives
God Decides
God Decides

Thump, thump (Thump, thump)
Every beat, every pump
Not a human who's immortal, expiration date will come
From the thugs acting hard, see no need to change their ways
Is it the drugs that has them scarred by delusions of their age?

They lock themselves in chains, and keep themselves enslaved
Closed them eyes to God so he fogs their hearts and brains
Deluded by their arrogance, no fear of when disaster hits
But tick, tock, tick, it's coming and we don't know when

See, 80 beats per minute, as youth we feel infinite
From the up-beat in the beginning, every symphony has been written
So we must know we're lost and show em the pulse
From the counter that thrives to the pauses and strokes

Every quarter half note playing to the millisecond
When the clock times up, better be in good stand (Good stand)
And hope the book is headed to your right hand (Right hand)
I hope the book is headed to my right hand, 'cause

80 beats a minute, beats a minute going by
There ain't nothing in it, someday soon we gonna die
'Cause from the beginning, at the start of our lives
God Decides
God Decides

80 beats a minute, beats a minute going by
There ain't nothing in it, someday soon we gonna die
'Cause from the beginning, at the start of our lives
God Decides
God Decides

4800 an hour, 100 000 a day
That's 42 million per annum, there ain't no time to play
See, praying is what pays when investing in heaven
And the drinking and cocaine is deception of devils
You may think it's easy pay but your soul is slowly dying
Till you visit the graves it'll be too late to realise then

So, seize the day, make it count, make a change
Believe in Allah, His angels, books, the last day
The greatest men, all the prophets who came
Until Muhammad the last, peace be upon Him we say
Consider every breathe and every deed another chance
For Allah's mercy, let us die in peace (Let us die in peace)

80 beats a minute, beats a minute going by
There ain't nothing in it, someday soon we gonna die
'Cause from the beginning, at the start of our lives
God Decides
God Decides

80 beats a minute, beats a minute going by
There ain't nothing in it, someday soon we gonna die
'Cause from the beginning, at the start of our lives
God Decides
