Lyrics
We were given so many prizes We changed the desert into oasis We built buildings of different lengths and sizes And we felt so very satisfied We bought and bought, we couldn't stop buying We gave charity to the poor 'cause we couldn't stand their crying We thought we paid our dues But in fact, to ourselves we're just lying [Chorus] Oh, I'm walking with my head lowered in shame from my place I'm walking with my head lowered from my race Yes it's easy to blame everything on the west (West) When in fact all focus should be on ourselves I'm walking with my head lowered in shame from my place I'm walking with my head lowered from my race Yes it's easy to blame everything on the west (West) When in fact all focus should be on ourselves [Verse 2] We were told what to buy and we'd bought We went to London, Paris and Costa del Sol We made show we were seen in the most exlusive shops Yes we felt so very satisfied We felt our money gave us infinite power We forgot to teach our children about history and honor We didn't have any time to lose when we were (Were) So busy feeling so satisfied [Chorus] I'm walking with my head lowered in shame from my place I'm walking with my head lowered from my race Yes it's easy to blame everything on the west (West) When in fact all focus should be on ourselves I'm walking with my head lowered in shame from my place I'm walking with my head lowered from my race Yes it's easy to blame everything on the west (West) When in fact all focus should be on ourselves [Verse 3] We became the visuals without a soul Despite the heat, our homes felt so empty and cold To fill the emptiness, we bought and bought Maybe all the fancy cars and bling will make us feel satisfied My dear brother and sister, it's time to change inside Open your eyes, don't throw away what's right aside Before the day comes when there's nowhere to run and hide Now ask yourself 'cause Allah's watching you [Bridge] Is He satisfied? Is Allah satisfied? Is Allah satisfied? Is Allah satisfied? [Chorus] Oh, I'm walking with my head lowered in shame from my place I'm walking with my head lowered from my race Yes it's easy to blame everything on the west (West) When in fact all focus should be on ourselves I'm walking with my head lowered in shame from my place I'm walking with my head lowered from my race Yes it's easy to blame everything on the west (West) When in fact all focus should be on ourselves
