Stand Alone

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

I'm not afraid to stand alone If Allah's by my side Everything will be alright When I 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 they're 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 I am not afraid to stand alone .

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 I am not afraid to stand alone .
