Album: Not Afraid to Stand Alone
Song: Stand Alone


Chorus
I am not afraid to stand alone
I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah's by my side
I am not afraid to stand alone
Everything will be alright
I am not afraid to stand alone
Gonna keep my head up high

I'm not afraid to stand alone
If Allah's by my side
Everything will be alright
Gonna keep my head up high

Single mother raising her children
And now she's a Muslim
Started praying and wearing a headscarf
Was healing for her heart

Struggling with no one to lean on
But with prayer she would be strong
Had a job but then she was laid off
Got a better education and it paid off

She was called for a job that she dreamed of
Close by, great pay-she was in love
They brought her in, told her she's the number one pick
"You got the job, but you gotta lose the outfit"

This is a tough position that you put me in
Cause Ive been struggling with my two children
But I'll continue looking for a job again
My faith in my religion now will never bend

Chorus
I am not afraid to stand alone
I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah's by my side
I am not afraid to stand alone
Everything will be alright
I am not afraid to stand alone
Gonna keep my head up high

I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah's by my side
Everything will be alright
Gonna keep my head up high

I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah's by my side
Everything will be alright
Gonna keep my head up high

Peer pressure, they were insisting
And I was resistin
Some days I felt I would give in
Just wanted to fit in

I know when I’m praying and fasting
They be teasing and laughing
So I called to my Lord for the power
For the strength every day, every hour

One day there’s a new Muslim teacher
Single mom and the people respect her
Just seeing her strength I get stronger
They can break my will no longer

You don’t see me sweating when their jokes're cracking
Never see me cursin’ with my pants saggin’
I aint running yo I’m still standing
I ride with Allah to the very end

Chorus
I am not afraid to stand alone
I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah's by my side
I am not afraid to stand alone
Everything will be alright
I am not afraid to stand alone
Gonna keep my head up high

I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah's by my side
Everything will be alright
Gonna keep my head up high

Now, I’m a tough one, who can bear their blows
The rest play dumb, they don’t dare say no
Scared of being shunned, by the peers they know
But I aint gonna run, I aint scared no more

These sisters be resolute
Never stressed when the rest say they wasn’t cute
And they get the respect of the other youth
Come best with the dress yo and that’s the truth

These sisters are strong gonna hand it down
So me I’m a brotha gotta stand my ground
I aint gonna shudder, when the gangs around
Peer pressure whatever, its my planet now

Others may fall, I’mma hold my own
With the help of Allah I’ll be strong as stone
And I’mma be brave and let Islam be shown
Cause you I know I not afraid to stand alone

Chorus
I am not afraid to stand alone
I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah's by my side
I am not afraid to stand alone
Everything will be alright
I am not afraid to stand alone
Gonna keep my head up high

I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah's by my side
Everything will be alright
Gonna keep my head up high

I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah's by my side
I am not afraid to stand alone
I am not afraid to stand alone
Gonna keep my head up high

I am not afraid to stand alone
I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah's by my side
I am not afraid to stand alone
Everything will be alright
Gonna keep my head up high
