Masirah (Arabic: مصيرة) is an island off the East coast of Oman, 95 km long north-south, between 12 and 14 km wide, with an area of about 649 km², and a population estimated at 12,000 in 12 villages mainly in the north of the island (9,292 as of the census of 2003, of which were 2,311 foreigners). Administratively, it forms one of the eleven provinces (Arabic: ولاية, plural ولايات, transliteration: wilayah, plural wilayat) of the Ash Sharqiyah Region. The principal village is Dawwāh in the northern part of the island. It contains an Omani air base and a fish factory, as well as a few small towns. Previously, the BBC had a relay facility consisting of both HF and MF broadcasting transmitters stationed there. Most of the island's interior is deserted, with access to the island only possible by a small ferry for cars or by Omani Air Force Hercules (RAFO) flights.
The main industries are fishing and traditional textile manufacturing. Formerly, traditional ship building was important.
The rugged terrain of the island and surrounding rough coastline has led to the appearance of many wrecked dhows on the beaches of the island, most of them well preserved by the salt water and intense heat.
They never see me coming under the radar
So I lay low, lay low
They never see me coming under the radar
So I lay low, lay low
They never see me coming under the radar
So I lay low, lay low
They never see me coming under the radar
So I lay low, lay low
They never see me coming under the radar
I'm just trying to get mine
Living my life
Stained from the grind
Been hustlin so long my life
But still they try to bring me down, ohhhhh
But they don't really know that
I've been watching them close like a satellite
But they don't really know that
I'll be standing in the crowd in my camoflauge
So I lay low, lay low
They never see me coming under the radar
So I lay low, lay low
They never see me coming under the radar
So I lay low, lay low
They never see me coming under the radar
So I lay low, lay low
They never see me coming under the radar
I can see it in their eyes
Envy on their eyes, still I'm not suprised
You know I'm strong enough to take them hard times
I ain't about about to give it up, ohhhhh
But they don't really know that
I've been watching them pulse with my third eye
But they don't really know that
You can never change the blueprint of my life
So I lay low, lay low
They never see me coming under the radar
So I lay low, lay low
They never see me coming under the radar
So I lay low, lay low
They never see me coming under the radar
So I lay low, lay low
They never see me coming under the radar (radar, radar, radar)
They never see me coming under the radar
So I lay low, lay low
They never see me coming under the radar
So I lay low, lay low
They never see me coming under the radar
So I lay low, lay low
They never see me coming under the radar
So I lay low, lay low
They never see me coming under the radar
So I lay low, lay low
They never see me coming under the radar
So I lay low, lay low
