NOT AFRAID TO STAND ALONEAllah = GodSubhanallah = Glory Be to God

 Ya Allah = Oh AllahHu Allah = He is AllahLaillaha illah = There is no God But AllahMuhamadurasullulah = Muhammad, peace be upon him, is the messenger of God.

STAND ALONE

ChorusI am not afraid to stand aloneI am not afraid to stand aloneIf Allah is by my sideI am not afraid to stand aloneEverything will be alrightI am not afraid to stand aloneGonna keep my head up high

Single mother raising her childrenNow she's a MuslimStarted praying and wearing a headscarf It was a healing for her heart

Struggling with no one to lean onBut with prayer she would be strongGot 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 brought her in, told her she's the number one pick“You got the job, but you gotta lose the outfit"

It's a tough position that you put me inCause I’ve been struggling with my two childrenBut I'll continue looking for a job againMy faith and my religion now will never bend

Chorus

Peer pressure, they were insisting

And I was resistingSome days I felt I would give in Just wanted to fit in

I know when I’m praying and fasting’ They be teasing and laughingSo I called to my Lord for the powerFor the strength every day, every hour...

 Then one day there’s a new Muslim teacherSingle 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 standingI 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 noScared of being shunned, but its clear they knowI aint never gonna run, I aint scared no more….

Man, these sisters be resoluteNever stressed when the rest say they wasn’t cuteAnd they get the respect of the other youthCome best with the dress yo and that’s the truth

 These sisters are strong gonna hand it downSo me I’m a brotha gotta stand my groundI aint gonna shudder, when the gangs aroundPeer pressure whatever, its my planet now

Others may fall, I’mma hold my ownWith Allah’s help I’ll be strong as stoneAnd I’mma be brave and let Al Islam be shownCause you I know I not afraid to stand alone

Chorus

LORD IS WATCHING

Chorus11 o clock at night and now your lying in your bed, cause see your

 Thinking about the plan that your rehearsing in your head, Your waiting for your family to doze right off to sleep, And then youslip out of the house to where you and your shorty meet

Rolled up to the party and your strolling cause its hardlyEven 12:00am and now the party’s getting started3:00am you heading back into your place and thenyou climbed back in the window you left open just in case

 Your think that your so slick, you know just how to trickand pull a hoax upon your folks and they dont notice it.

 You know that you should not, I think that you forgotLike any crime, its only time before you getting caught

Chorus Your lord is watching and he knows every step that you takeAnd he knows every plan that you makeAnd he can catch your every mistakeAnd he can catch your every mistake

 The personal computer is a real amazing thingwith all the knowledge it can bring to our young men and young womenBut you know when you have been, using it for doing sinFind a hidden place within, and then the downloading begins

And quickly you begin to get, savy with the internet The devil whispers and convinces you that you aint sinning yet You know its wrong and if your caught they all will be upset, youlearn to close the window quick so no one catches wind of it

Why do we think this, there’s no consequences Your lord may let it slide a bit but that just gives you confidencehe can expose you, to all those who knows youAnd when that happens dont come back and say i never told you that...

As Samee' (The All Hearing)

Albaseer (All Seeing),AlRaqeeb, (The Watchful One)Al Khabeer,( The Aware)Inna rabbaka ala kulli shayin qadeer(Truly your lord is aware of all things)

Chorus

Now everyday that passes, you get bolder in your plans, and

 You start scheming in your classes, and start cheating on exams Your great in fooling masses, and start running little scams, You know Your sneakiness surpasses every other guy in town.

But then the day arrives now that your Lord had always written You think that no ones watching, and things just start to happen

 The window you left open drew attention of your neighborAnd so they caught you in the act, as you came back in the night

 Your sister has a project due and you are off at schooland she’s using your computer cause your folks said it was coolAnd she comes across some pictures that you forgot to eraseshe shows it to your family and soon your in disgrace

 The plans you invented, You'll wish you had ended,And when you see the Hell fire you’ll really resent itCause sooner or later, you'll face your creatorAnd never for a moment think your knowledge is greater

Chorus

STILL STRONG

In my house, minding my bizSunday morning doing chores and I’m watching my kids

 You know how it is, they chilling watching Sesame StreetMy wife, showing me how to cook something to eat

Now this is my life, that is my wife, those are my kidsI’m working hard so we can comfortably live

Knock, Knock, somebody is at the front doorHoney, I’ll get it I need to take a break from my chores

Knock, Knock, it just went from knock to a poundNow who is this clown, trying to take my smile to a frownKnock, Knock, it just went from pound to a bangNow this is insane and now I hear ‘em yelling my name

I open the door, and what do I seeIts like 23 agents looking at me

 They threw the cuffs on my hands and my face to the floorDragged away, my family crying at the front door

ChorusAAAAGGGGHHHHH, we’re not breaking, we’re still strongNo matter what they do we’re moving on

AAAAGGGGHHHHH, we’re not breaking, we’re still strongNo matter what they do we’re moving on

We’re still moving on

And they was asking me that and asking me thisAccusing me of being on somebody’s terrorist listI had to resist, I want a lawyer is all I would sayBut they said that they would torture me all night and all dayAnd so I would pray for God to give me strength to get through

If the evidence I knew, I would prove it untrueOsama Bin who, they want to say I support himIf I don’t give in, I’ll never see my family againIts been more than 10 months since they dragged me from home4 hours questioning and 20 in my cell alone………..

So you wanna break me? nah I’m still strong,Sti--ll wanna hate me? I´ll prove you wrongwait and you’ll see- I was right - all along,but as for now let me do- do my thing, let me sing this song.

Its not Islam or Christianity, Its all of the humanity

 The religion of vanity drives people to insanityMy soul and my anatomy are patient with calamityI’ll never use profanity just let me see my family

Chorus

 Yeah, let me see now, where do I startStill the ANTAGONIST, still playing same partSame old script, yeah same old dramaOnly this time -- you trying link me with Osama

 Yep, its me! -- public enemy number one Your specific intelligence nothing but a conSo tell me mr. officer what you got on me?-TRUMPED UP charges man, clear for all to see-What did I do now? what is my crimePlease can you tell me why I’ma be doing this time.Is it coz I put my head on the ground? my foot in the sink?

 There gotta be something, man! Tell me what you foundIs it my beard, or the funny way I walk?

 The rhymes I be spitting? Or the way I was born to talk?I’m an Innocent convict, victim of this eraOppression in the guise of a war on terror- My lyrical pen is still mightier than their sords

 That’s why I be in the pen praying to my loord- Like P said, they won’t let- me -out

 The faith in my heart that’s what its all- aboutI’m one of them mooozlems, so best lock me up

 That’s why I’m rrright here - stuck in this rutKeep my head high cant no one take my prideNothing but a test from Him, we gotta take in stride.Chorus

LIVE’S WORTH

Summer night on the 4th of July and I’m hanging outsideI take my kids downtown to watch fireworks flyAs the light flicker in my daughters eyesI think about the plight of a war torn child

And how these same sights and sounds make them cry

And how much is this life worth, is what I say to youAs I sit here right now, watching the evening newsAnd how much is this life worth, cause it cant be trueWe’re dying over different points of viewSo how much is this life worth to you.

 Yah Allah, Yah Allah

It five o-clock and Im rushing home like I always doI call ahead to my wife and kids and say I’ll be there soon

I put the radio on, and the announcer speaksOf a man rushing home just in time to seeHis house blown to rubble with his family beneath

And how much is this life worth, is what I say to youAs I sit here right now, watching the evening newsAnd how much is this life worth, cause it cant be trueWe’re dying over different points of viewSo how much is this life worth to you.

 Yah Allah, oh Allah

How much is this life worth,How much is this life worth,How much is this life worth,How much is this life worth,

We say we stand for justice for all, but what about babies when bombs fallHow much is their life worth to youAnd when we say we answer the call of AllahBut is it the way of RasoolullahHow much is his life worth to you

 Yah Allah, help us make due…yeah…

And how much is this life worth, is what I say to youAs I sit here right now, watching the evening newsHow much is this life worth, cause it can’t be true

 That we’re dying over different points of viewSo how much is this life worth to you.

So how much is this life worth to you.

Allah = GodSubhanallah = Glory be to GodWa = andAlhamdulilah = Praise be to GodLa’llaha Illa Allah = There is no god but God

Allahu Akbar = God is The Grestest Ya Allah = Oh Allah

PRAY BEFORE

I got so many excuses that I use when the athans madeI’m telling lies don’t even hesitateI tell the people I’ve already prayedI got this thing I gotta do and I’m already lateDon’t lecture me don’t want no fitnah or dramaI just need to get out before they make the iqama…PEACEI’m cruising down the avenue the boulevardAll of a sudden, Oh my God

No fender bender I was critically injuredIn the hospital bed my family thought I was dead…MANI never though it’d happen to meBut I can tell you I was happy to seeAll of my boys coming in the emergency room taking a kneeAnd every single one was praying for meEventually I made it through. Al-hamdu-lilahI thank Allah. A second chance to make salah

Chorus

When it comes to not praying the best, we be notorious

Not focused on our Lord most gloriousA reminder to our self is what the story was

 Just talking the talk, that really worries us,

We get caught up in this fleeting world like MorpheusMaking money or getting the BachalorriousWe keep forgetting that prayer, it makes us victoriousboth In this world and the next life, He's rewarding us,

Furious, cause I know I can do better…Recording us, at every show in any weather..And warning us, when the souls are brought together

 The first thing checked are my prayers on the regular

Wake up! never waste this breathEverybody every soul will get a taste of deathPray like it’s your last prayer cause that date is setAnd that your going straight to heaven, NEVER make that bet

His eyes slowly risingSunrise warms the horizonSand dunes form in the distantHe’s up and out in an instant

 The crowd there, all were waiting

Watching and, anticipatingA man appears from afarCould it be the one sent by Allah

He shouts “Here comes the prophet!”His face is a light that drives out the darknessWords are alive – his message is living

 Joy everywhere, our voices are singing

Chorus Tala'al-Badru 'alayna,min thaniyyatil-Wada'

wajaba al-shukru 'alayna,ma da'a lillahi da'Ayyuha al-mab'uthu fina

 ji'ta bi-al-amri al-muta' Ji'ta sharrafta al-Madinahmarhaban ya khayra da'

He steps and reaches to touch This man who suffered so muchHis own troubles could not compare

 To the Prophet scorned everywhere

He was shunned away by his own kinRidiculed and stoned by the townsmenHis blood was shed for the truthBut never was he vengeful or rude.

 Then the Prophet turns and he smilesRadiance that spreads out for milesEmbraces his hand with kindness and careHis heart sings out for all those to hear!

Chorus

Wakes up, alarm clock is ringingMoonlight, sun hasn’t risenFaint sound of cars on the streetBut inside his heart he feels peace

He starts recalling the dream The Prophets face he has seenRemembers well the tradition

In a dream it truly will be him

Allah, oh what a feelingSo many years he followed his teachingsAnd this is greatest time in his lifeHe prays to Allah and sings through the night

Chorus

Welcome, best caller to Gods wayWith a word to be obeyedLike a bright moon in the valley of darkness we lay2x

THE MESSAGE

Gotta know who your enemy is… and your enemy is Shaytan!

So many people wanted Native Deen to cross overBecause the message that we’re givinghas the potential to bring the people together forever

And when you look around you see the peopletrying to mean like a soldier, hard like a bolder

 They don’t want to give love they just want to be coldbut I tell you that they only getting colderUntil they line up in their rows and they put their feet togetherand they shoulder to shoulder

But your enemy don’t want it so you better do it now

and don’t wait until you older That is the message that we’re givingand we gonna give it again and again until the struggling is over

CHORUSOur enemy wants us to give up on the thingsthat we know we should doBut you and I, we have a conscienceand to our soul we gotta be trueBut some people, some of the people support the enemy‘cause they don’t understandBut that’s alright, ‘aint no problem

‘cause Native Deen will still do all that we can

And I can go on and on about how our enemy liesOn and on about how your enemy hates and despises youOpen your eyes its true, your enemy ‘aint gonna sympathize with you

He will continue to his plot, to split and divideHave people from the same faith on opposite sidesHave people for the wrong cause willing to die

Have you kill a thousand people and not even cry

Have all the young brothers just trying to be flyAnd all the young sisters, they don’t want to be shyForget the Army be all you can be for AllahAnd never settle just to get by…Come on

CHORUS

Once upon a time on a special dayRight before the last Prophet passed awayHe gathered all the people and what did he say

 The message of the Deen, did I relay?

He said worship God onlyCame with good news for the believers to teach us

 To give from ourselves and our moneyIf you want the real life that’s next you got to invest

and put something on it

Sent to all mankind to warn us about the terrible day that’s upon us You’ll be on our knees begging please,Sweating to your neck for your deedsMothers will be dropping their babiesPeople will be running like they drunk and they crazy

Seek refuge in Allah from being lazyGet to work now ‘aint no time for if, buts or maybeDo you know what I mean?Clap your hands if you now what I mean

With the Name of Allah you and ask the peopledid Native Deen deliver the message

 You can ask the people did Native Deen deliver the message You can ask the people did Native Deen deliver the message You can ask the people did Native Deen deliver the message

CHORUS

HOLD THE LINE

Lets think to back, back when we started

We were just souls with one target This was a course that we both chartedBut how did we end broken hearted

Ohhhh….

Can faith pull us throughDon’t know what I should doBut ask of you

Labayk Allah, Huma Labayk.It's a journey for Allah that I wanna make.

Bound to the sound when the Hajjis go round,In the place where we face they put their heads to the ground.Bowin' in submission with conviction of steel.

It's a feeling of peace, I someday hope I can feel

When the month it comes around, its called the month Dhul-HijPeople come from every place on this planet to do it.It's the Hajj, is a journey to the house of AllahWhere over two million different people come from near and from far...

By car, and by boat and by plane and by the camelSome brothers even do it by foot just with a sandal.But when they arrive and then city just glows.

 You'll understand the reasoning why everyone goes

Seeking forgiveness from Allah, in every step that they takeHere I am for my creator, Yah they cry out labayk

Chorus

From Madinah to Musdelifa, sights that you never saw,Best of all the trips ain't nothing less that I will settle forDawn of lhram, where we all put on white,All of the people [putting on the sheets so that we all look alike

Doing tawaf around the Qaba kissin' the black stone if you can,But you haven't done nothing till you've done Zam-ZamGettin' on that bus so you can get to Ararat,Getting all those pebbles used to stone the Jamarat.

Pacing back and forth between the Saffa and the MarwahCommemorating what was done for Ishmael by HagarSacrifice a lamb then going ahead and shave your heldPeople are joining in the feasting after all the prayers are said.

Now nothing beats this trip not even Taj MahalCause there's Africans, Indonesians from Egypt and all,I'm looking forward to this trip I someday hope I can makeHere I am for my creator and when I cry out Labayk

Chorus

Allah is great, Allah is great, Allah is great, There is no god but AllahAllah is great, Allah is great, and praise is due to Him.Allah is great, Allah is great, Allah is great, There is no god but Allah

Allah is great, Allah is great, and praise is due to Him.Allah is the Greatest, and an abundance of praise is due to Him,And glory and praise be to him morning and evening.

 There is no god but Allah, alone, He was true to His promise,And He granted victory to His worshipper, and He supported His group,And He conquered the parties (of evil) all by Himself.

 There is no deity but Allah, and we worship no one but Him,And we will sincerely follow the religion for Him,Even against the wishes of the unbelievers.

May Allah pray upon our Muhammad, and upon his family,And upon his companions, and upon his supporters,And upon his wives, And upon his descendants,And grant an abundance of peace on him.

He smiles at the child with faith in his eyesInshallah the rains will come

 This I know, his mercy must be won Just open your heart, this is the startInshallah the rains will come

On him I swear, his will must be doneLike tears from your eyes, pearls from the skyInshallah the rains will come

Father gathers, the people for their eyes to see That if they combine their hearts and their minds They will turn the deserts green

Side by side, they stand in the burning heat They pray to the one that brought them the sun To make the heavens weep

 This I know, his mercy must be won Just open your heart, this is the startInshallah the rains will come

On him I swear, his will must be doneLike tears from your eyes, pearls from the skyInshallah the rains will come

Like tears from your eyes, pearls from the skyInshallah the rains will come

Will come…. Shower your mercy and wash away the sunWill come…. Pour down your blessings until the drought is goneWill come…. Soak up our tears and let the rivers runWill come…. Please answer your servants, Allah almighty one

 This I know, his mercy must be won Just open your heart, this is the start Thank God that the rains have come

On him I swear, his will has been doneHe dried the tears from our eyes, pearls from sky

 Thank God that the rains have come

BE AT THE TOP

How come every time I go and I flip on the news channelI see these images of Muslims having crude mannersAngry men, holding guns and a few camels

 Terrorist pumping fists with their rude banners

 You get anxiety, from symbols of our piety

Cause they don’t show us Muslims who contribute to societyHow come they don’t show us doing positive thingsWe get abused and harassed so many problems this brings

Did this to black in the 60’s, Japanese in the 40’sWere the same category how their messing with our stories

Flashing our picture over negative wordsPeople are begging to learn but you just making it worse

But now were gonna watch you, your biases that pop throughAnd go against your sponsors advertisers if we got toWake up, its our right to defend,gotta fight with the pen if our plights gonna end.

Chorus You wanna be at the top, InshallahAre we the cream of the crop, InshallahWe’re gotta rock till we drop, Inshallah

Cause believers never stop, Mashallah

Are we the people with the plan, InshallahWe’re always doing what we can, InshallahPutting knowledge in the land, InshallahWith the power of the pen, Mashallah

 Yes, Yes, Yes Ya’ll. You know it time to listen very closeBecause my lyrics are gonna get rawCause what you see is what you saw‘Aint nothing changed but the criminal perception of the law

Like who’s a criminal and what’s a crimeI’m trying to define how the television washes your mindConspiracies against me and still theMajority of the people still believe whatever they see on TV

How can this be when obviously it’s the mediaFeeding lies to the people can’t you see that broUh, you need examples, for instance some cases

 You don’t know about religions and you don’t know about the races

 You look, see black, think that I’m athletic Then you look and see I’m Muslim and you think anti-SemiticBut check it, watch what they do to your mind kidIts all connected you better not be blinded

Chorus

We all know the media aint doing us rightSo everyday we write, that’s the way we fightWe all know the media aint doing us right

And if we all unite will make them see the light

It’s known that governments will stereotype They profile us by day, lock us up in the nightIt’s known that governments will stereotypeBut we still invite them to the deen that right

 They put the word on the street That Muslims got beef, say we in the middle eastPlotting with the sheikhs

 Thinking that they right when we know they notSay we coming up with the next terrorist plot

And with these petty lies, now we’re not concerned That’s about the time we bring on that mic burnAnd smash it, against all of they tactics

 They let us have it, but you know we coming back kid

We got students copin’ deen plus a law degree To run these snakes straight out judiciariesFuture leaders burning up the quills

 Torching all the lies so the people know the real

We aint the type of rhymers to saying bust the stealWe saying stop the lies and show them whats realWe aint the type of rhymers stay shoot to killWe saying stop the blood, and let the ink spill

 ZAMILOONI

He stepped inside his home, and he overwhelmed with fearAn angel came with words from God, things were still unclearSaying read - read, but he couldn’t read, then amazing words he heardA trembling deep inside his heart, confused by what had occurred

 There was only one who could comfort himAnd help him see the light

 To ease his fears, to reassureIt was khadijah, his wife…

ChorusHe said Zamilooni, Zamilooni, Dathirooni, Dathirooni, (Envelop me, Embrace me)

A mighty task has come before me…I need you here with me…By my side…

She was a woman of nobility, successful in all her tradeMany wealthy men had asked for her, she had turned them all awayBut when she saw Muhammad, a shining moon, may peace be on his soulHe was a light for her – so right for her – her life will now be whole

But she had never seen him so distressed, as he was there that dayShe would comfort him, and hold him tight, and chase his doubts away

Chorus

Bridge…

We look for stories of love, in places dark and coldWhen we have a guiding light, for the whole world to beholdBut were so selfish in our ways, and to the ones we hold so closeOur own pleasure and happiness is what we value most

But she sacrificed all her wealth and everything she hadAnd he honored her, and gave her faith,when the times were bad, when times were bad...

Now years have passed, times had changed,since khadijah breathed her last.Message of the one true God,

was spreading far and vast

But then he came across some jewelry,that khajidah once had wornHis eyes began to swell with tears,his heart again began to mourn

Cause she was there for him, when times were rough,and his enimies were cruelWas the first believer, so keen and eager, to comfort al-Rasool

Chorus

Mawlaya salli wa sallim da’iman abada'Ala habibika khayril khalqi kullihimi(O my Leader, send your salutations and blessings foreverUpon Your Beloved, the best of the whole of creation)

M-U-S-L-I-M

One billion strong, all year long,Prayers to Allah even in Hong KongCan never be wrong if we read the Qur'anCause it's never been changed since day one.

Others may brag, say that we lag,But they don’t know all the power we had

 The power we had, the power we haveSo Muslimoon don’t you ever be sad

 Take many looks, go read their books, You'll see all the facts that your friends overlook,So always be proud, you can say it out loud

I am proud to be down with the Muslim crowd!

M-U-S-L-I-MI'm so blessed to be with them...M-U-S-L-I-MI'm so blessed to be with them...

 They look at me strangelyLike I emit some type of energy

 That draws Kafirs - disbelievers towards me. Thinking to themselves what makes him different from me.Is it the hair, the clothes or maybe the food he eats,

What could it be, that make thug cats, stand at attention,His demeanor's peaceful but on his face it's clearly written that,

 This aint the sorta brother caught up in this and thatRunning streets carrying heat yo he aint into that.

 This brother must live by some type of criteria, To make it to the average cat quite superior

So maybe one of these days I get near enoughPlay like Nancy Drew on this mystery and clear it up.So listen up if you think this is strange,Cause these the type of thoughts that use to runthrough a new Shahada's brainsand I bear witness to the one with 99 names,InshAllah I will always remain!

M-U-S-L-I-MI'm so blessed to be with them...M-U-S-L-I-MI'm so blessed to be with them...

Don’t know about you, I know about me,I'm proud because I'm rolling IslamicallyEverywhere I see, even on TV,People talking trash about the way I be.

But what they all hate, is if we get greatCause they know we’re the only ones with our heads on straightDon’t ever frown, or your head looking down,If you read the Qur'an you're the best in the town.

 Y'all have doubt say- we have no cloutBut-within-a-few years see how we've come about.Were back on the scene, The number-one deen,I'm proud to be down with the Muslimeen!
