Lyrics

They’re telling me to stay quiet (Quiet, quiet)
Don’t blow the whistle, deny it (Deny it, deny it)
They’re threatening me so I hide it (I hide it, I hide it)
But now that I have decided, decided, oh

[Chorus]
I only fear my Lord Allah (I only fear Allah)
I only fear my Lord Allah (Only Allah)
I only fear my Lord Allah (I only fear Allah)
I only fear my Lord Allah, only Allah

[Verse 2: Abdul-Malik Ahmad]
There used be a time when I was crazy afraid
To stand up for justice, speak up and be brave
'Just be quiеt, behave, don't go starting a wave'
And thе leaders, they be cheaters, and my peoples enslaved
But now that I'm stronger, awake from a slumber
Injustice no longer, for freedom I hunger
You don't need to wonder, I'ma be the one to
Wanna bring a thunder, gonna bring a thunder
Fight the corruption, spark an eruption (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Won't turn a blind eye to all your destruction (Oh-oh, oh, yeah)
And I will never put you higher than my Lord (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
With Him is my reward, and with this I'm reassured (Oh-oh, oh, yeah)

[Chorus: All, Abdul-Malik Ahmad]
I only fear my Lord Allah (I only fear Allah)
I only fear my Lord Allah (Only Allah)
I only fear my Lord Allah (I only fear Allah)
I only fear my Lord Allah, only Allah

[Verse 2: Naeem Muhammad]
I swear by the One who holds my soul
I fear not these threats that I've been told
You may think right now they're in control
But Allah knows the things you'll never know
As I open this message
Mom says it's nonsense
To think that this life could be changed by a kid
Now it is our day
And you know we're not afraid
With empty hands and an open mind
We'll lead them all to a better way

[Verse 3: Joshua Salaam]
My enemy is chuckling because my knees are buckling
They took all of my weapons so I'm just left with my knuckles and
They know that I'm afraid of all the power that they got
And the people on the street that try to speak gonna get shot
We ain't got a lot
Hope for freedom's all we got
Revolutions can't be stopped
Comin' like a juggernaut!
We tried every way
They don't hear what we say
Allah hears when we pray
Peace and justice today
We stand as your equal
Power to the people
Commanding what is right and forbidding what is evil
Tempted to run when they come with the guns
But I'm standing here cause I fear only One

[Chorus: All, Abdul-Malik Ahmad]
I only fear my Lord Allah (I only fear Allah)
I only fear my Lord Allah (Only Allah)
I only fear my Lord Allah (I only fear Allah)
I only fear my Lord Allah, only Allah

[Verse 4: Abdul-Malik Ahmad]
Now I'm thinkin' about the people who be comin' to represent
Some of them givin' their lives, givin' the truth wherever they went
Bringin' the freedom to they land, whatever they do their faith is strong
Keeping it real, never they scared, only their Lord did they fear
Release from the jaws of this creep and his flaws
Policing the laws, and my peeps selling loss
Now deep in our hearts, we keep with the cause
In peace do I march and we reach for the stars
Call me a hater, a rebel, a traitor
But for every dictator, there is One who is greater!
Threatening my friends and my life and my job
But you know I will not bend, 'cause I only fear Allah!

[Chorus: All, Abdul-Malik Ahmad]
I only fear my Lord Allah (I only fear Allah)
I only fear my Lord Allah (Only Allah)
I only fear my Lord Allah (I only fear Allah)
I only fear my Lord Allah, only Allah
I only fear my Lord Allah (I only fear Allah)
I only fear my Lord Allah (Only Allah)
I only fear my Lord Allah (I only fear Allah)
I only fear my Lord Allah, only Allah
