m**m Belal - Disappointment lyrics

Verse 1: I didn't know it would be like this This ain't what I signed up for They told me things would get better That's what I get down and pray for Why do we stand so divided? Although we pray together, our hearts ain't united We don't love each other, the way we love ourselves Now, I don't mean to sound negative But it's hard to find something positive To say, when I feel this way I'm a Jamaican m**m, and I can find no place In an Arabian's home, a Pakistani's home A Bangladeshi's home or a Somali's home Where do I call home? Is the mosque my home? Why when I go for my prayer do they tell me, “Masjid closed” Chorus: x2 We wear the same clothes, we love the same God We read the same book, but does it touch our hearts? Or are we, diseased, with this dunya and greed Verse 2: We should be embarra**ed; we should be ashamed Do we deserve the right to be called by these names? ‘Umar, Ahmad, Bilal, Muhammad These should be the names of the righteous, the pious Alhamdulillah, I travel, I've seen the Middle East I see m**ms but no Islam in the streets It says, grow your beard big and trim your moustache short Instead we grow the moustache and the beard comes off And the simplest wedding's the best in the eyes of Allah But we spend thousands on dresses, j**ellery and cars We've either got trouble reading or we didn't read at all The problem's understanding or we just like breaking rules? Chorus: x2 We wear the same clothes, we love the same God We read the same book, but does it touch our hearts? Or are we, diseased, with this dunya and greed
