Ooh baby, baby, it's a wild world, it's hard just to get by upon a smile.

I did not come into contact with any Muslim before I embraced Islam. I read the Qur'an first and realized no person is perfect, Islam is perfect, and if we imitate the conduct of the Holy Prophet... we will be successful.

I became alienated from this religious upbringing, and started making music. I wanted to be a big star. All those things I saw in the films and on the media took hold of me, and perhaps I thought this was my god: the goal of making money.

Vanity is the most dangerous thing about fame.

Baby I know, the first cut is the deepest.

Ooh baby, baby, it's a wild world, it's hard just to get by upon a smile.

Will you carry the words of love with you?
