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….
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….
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
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
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
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….
If Allah's by my side
