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 and everything will be alright. I am not afraid to stand alone and gonna keep my head up high.

A girl raising her soul, a girl raising her spirit. Started praying and wearing a headscarf with a suit of baju kurung. It was a healing for her heart and struggling with no one to lean on. But with prayer she would be strong. Got a better education but then she was laid off, hopefully she got a job that she dreamed of and all sacrification will paid off. Close by, great pay -she was in love -He brought her in, told her she's the only one in his life “You got my heart, but don't ever lose it". It's a tough position that you put me in cause I’ve been struggling with my future. But I'll continue achieving my dream again. My faith and my religion now will never bend.

Peer pressure, they were insisting and I was resisting. Some days I felt I would give in, just wanted to fit in and I know when I’m studying and look scheme 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 student here. Single person and the people respect him. 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 to I’m still standing. I ride with Allah to the very end.I am not afraid to stand alone...

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 cuten 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’m may hold my own with Allah’s help. I’ll be strong as stone and I’m may be brave and let my abilities be shown cause you I know...
I not afraid to stand alone!
