Native Deen - Stand Alone lyrics

rate me

Chorus

I am not afraid to stand alone….

I am not afraid to stand alone…. If Allah is 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

Single mother raising her children

Now she's a Muslim

Started praying and wearing a headscarf

Was a healing for her heart

Struggling with no one to lean on

But with prayer she would be strong

Got a job but then she was laid off

Got a better education and it paid off

Got a call for a job that she dreamed of

Close by, great pay -she was in love - they said...

They brought her in, said she's the number one pick

You got the job, but you gotta lose the outfit"

It's a tough position that they 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

Peer pressure, they were insisting

And I was resisting

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...

Then 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 cussing’ with my pants saggin’

I aint never running yo I’m still standing

I ride with Allah to the very end

Chorus

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, but its clear they know

I aint never gonna run, I aint scared no more….

Man, these sisters be resolute

Never stressed when the rest say they wasn’t cute

And the 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 Allah’s help I’ll be strong as stone

And I’mma be brave and let Al Islam be shown

Cause you I know I not afraid to stand alone

Chorus
