LYRICS
Oh we have fallen
as a whole
and were sinking
down a hole
without thinking
about our loves ones
who might be shrinking
into a sunken space
with glass surrounding
their powers
that are pounding
in their temple in their mind
theres seems to be a complexity to being kind
to your space to your temple
to your neighbors
who’ve seen the changes
we all feel change
some of us wear masks
to hide the pain
And i just wish i could ask
QADIR WHATS THE DEAL NOW?
WHAT DID YOU PLANT IN YOUR MOTHERS GARDEN?
QADIR I MISS YOU DEARLY
WHAT DID YOU PLANT IN YOUR MOTHERS GARDEN
OH hemos sido esclavos
to these systems
that project false beauty
exorcisms
burn it out of my body
This dependency don’t help nobody
we’re sitting in dark rooms
with bags on our heads
waiting for god to touch us
We just wanna be closer
its overwhelming
some of us wear masks
because some can’t adapt
I just wish i could ask
QADIR WHATS THE DEAL NOW?
WHAT DID YOU PLANT IN YOUR MOTHERS GARDEN?
QADIR I MISS YOU DEARLY
WHAT DID YOU PLANT IN YOUR MOTHERS GARDEN

Qadir is my dad's name, he passed away 40 days ago, this song constantly reminds me of him ... :)
So sorry for your loss🙏🏽
R. I. P🙏🙏🙏
My dad died 40 days ago hope you are better
Praying for comfort x
Sorry for your loss
Nick. If youre reading this. Thank you for this one. Love.
"we all feel change
some of us wear masks
to hide the pain
And i just wish i could ask"
damn.
2020 still has its foot on our necks but the music so far is 🔥🔥🔥. Thanks Nick, we needed this.
Too soon
U predicted the future my man
Danny C ikr wtfffff
This song is beautiful and haunting at the same time. Treasure your loved ones and hold them close. Even when you're mad...still do your best to love them. Life is temporary for us all.
Also amazing casting all those natural & beautiful women 💪🏽🙏🏽
I thought the same thing :) so natural and beautiful
And also talented, Keiyaa and Maassai are amazing artists
In 1997, I was covering local music in Toronto. An artist I interviewed said ‘music is our last voice’. Songs like this remind me of that quote.
Also i’ve listened to this about a dozen times, its now 5:37 am on a Saturday during the pandemic.
this song makes me cry, and makes me feel seen, thank you
You’re a beautiful person!
this song has made me cry a few times too and i dont understood why. it's cool i'm not the only one
Love 💕
I saw Mr. Hakim live back in October at Desert Daze, and he closed the set with this song. Chanting along with him and the crowd was almost spiritual, this song is truly amazing. I am so ready to hear this whole album, and I know the next opportunity I get to see him I’m buying tickets in a heartbeat, I suggest everyone do the same. Much love, thank you for getting us through these trying times
Was at the same show, that was truly a spiritual set!
I was there as well, couldn't agree more!!
This is a very beautiful song...EXTREMELY #orion sun
This song is so hauntingly beautiful.
extremely beautiful, ty for sharing
Space for me was amazing,🙆🏿♂️🙆🏿♂️
Rest In Paradise Qadir I spoke with him the day before he passed and I miss my dear friend every day...
this is beyond music, next level messages from the other side, wow
Hakim, in these troubling times this is what we need. Thank you!
Qadir / Means "capable, powerful" in Arabic. This transcription represents two different ways of spelling the name in Arabic. In Islamic tradition القادر (al-Qadir) is one of the 99 names of Allah.
감사합니다~
This definitely reaches the soul.
This song is so spot on. People who where mask and cant adapt. People who just ain't kind.This song is helping me through my Divorce. I need to be kind to my temple, mind and spirit. Thank you so much Nick. Cant wait to see you live in D-town!✊🏾✌🏾
Thank you Nick Hakim...the culture needs YOU!!
Hearing We are King on background vocals and synth made this shit bump and stand out thank you Nick
We Are King! 💚
It's not often that a song feels this relevant and urgent. Amazing and inspiring!
Had the pleasure of seeing Nick perform at the House of Blues in Dallas back in 2017. When I first heard Green Twins I was blown away at how different his music was and I was moved by just how beautiful sounding and mesmerizing it was. He was already at that time on the rising scene but had and still has an amazing fan base.There was only a crowd of about 200 people max in a small show room and it was the best live show that I have ever been to! I remember watching the openers and standing right next to Nick in the crowd and it’s so mind blowing to me to see him from small crowds to now a huge and ever-growing artist playing for crowds of all types! Nick is such a talented dude, his outlook on this new album coming is a new shift and I am so excited to see what he has in store for us in the near future! This is such a great song with a powerful message! Thanks for being such an inspiration for me and many others, Nick!
I dunno what kind of crazy ass spiritual energy you tap into making your music but it makes me feel all kind of ways. ❤️
Salaam. Capable and Powerful!
When he says "In your mother's garden" it hits different
omg that bass!!!! 04:46
in loop during days (of isolation)
definitely gives me something to listen to while cooped up at home
I missed Nick twice in the last 2 years in Philly .. never again
I remember getting chills listening to this when you closed your set with this song at Cafe 939. Felt like you were signing for your own healing, cathartic and beautiful.
This is the most beautiful song ever, every time i listen I hear a different layer to the song. The chords take me somewhere, I love every piece of it.
literally, this moment. Thank you, would love to say can't wait, but I can and will wait.
And just NOW our WORLD, n e e d s THIS peaceful minded music, Music will save us (the spirits). Thanks Nick
A Beautiful song right here.
I'm going to see him live.
It’s a must
@@cmooreHD Speaking this to manifest it. ✊🏿
Deiondre Mathis I believe in this, and I’d loved to see him as well.
Years ago I did the same. Id post everywhere and write messages to him saying please come back to London after he hadn’t been for years. My dream came true and I have the honour of seeing this beautiful soul twice
pumakel1 amazing!! When the times approaches hopefully I’d be blessed the same way
holy shit this just came around full circle. found out about nick randomly and got into his music then months later got into keiyaa's music and now i realize shes in the video.
crying at 3pm on a tuesday
How relevant is this song right now. The lyrics alone will humble you. 🙏🏾❤️🔥🔥🔥
The sounds we need right now 🙏🏾
I love where this track takes it to towards the end. That kind of expression takes courage, both for the musician and inspires the same in the listener.
We need this. This is the heart of healing portrayed in audiovisual. Shukran mabrouk. ps for some reason I can just hear this song in my mind, with Chronixx in it.
Nick channels the ghost of prince with his performance on the vocals
this touches the soul.
The algorithm got it right . Daaamn
Nick never disappoints with the vocals and the visuals. I feel blessed❤
Man you inspire my soul. Gratitude 🙌♥️
this song is gold
I randomly stumble upon this song and this is my name I’m touched
I truly needed to hear this song. So relevant!! Thank you Nick your lyrics inspire and heal.
Nick, I saw you by chance at the Kennedy Center's opening of the Reach and you sang this one song, just you and the piano and I have been stalking your music ever since. I was so excited to see this. Ever think about recording the piano version? Thank you for sharing your talent!
This is magic and a gift. Thank you for sharing your gift.
A year later. This song still haunts me.
The ending has a real 'America Eats it's Young' pfunk vibe! So beautiful.
This was right on time ♥️
This music is the sound of hope...thank you Nick!
Gooood shit nick, the world needs some great music right now
Absolutely Beautiful!!
Deeply and intensely beautiful
I've been searching for this song for a whole week.....finally found it.....it's so beautiful
love seeing more nick hakim fans
My is Qadir 😊
These lyrics speak to me and a current relationship so strongly. Its crazy to think about. I wonder if they were written in reflection to a similar dynamic I am in. Or maybe they were written to express something so vastly different that he experienced. Either way, this song was released during a time period in my life that reflects in these lyrics. This song has been played so much the past two weeks and its gotten me through a lot of feelings. Thank you so much Nick. You are a gift of pure light to this often challenging world.
This is what we need right now 🙏🏽
So grateful I found him
Keiyaa 🖤✨️
this song is gorgeous
I love this song. I love playing along to all Nick's songs on the piano. It took me a while to work out the second chord in this. It is (I think), an Ab9/Bb. The chords and head to Bouncing are glorious. It could be a jazz standard. Thanks Nick, and keep on x
What an amazing song
Back and perfect timing! I needed this! Can’t wait for the full project.
much needed 🧡
HES BACK
I love it! 🧡 Can't wait to listen to the whole album!
Wow. Just wow. Amazing
YES! YES! YES!
Love it!! Nick never disappoints
saw him in concert last night and it was the best night of my life it was truly an amazing experience
Great song! As usual with Nick.
The vocals arrangements are very similar to those of D’Angelo "Prayer" song.
