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
