In many of Amina’s songs, she uses colonial stereotypes of the  sexualized  Eastern woman and subverts them- making parodies of cultural stereotypes Amina managed to interrogate the postcolonial culture.
Away from Doors that Slam

Away from doors that slam
Away from doors that slam
Away from screams, away from slaps
From evil, from words, from evil
From demonic words . . .
I will not lower my eyes
I will raise them to the sky
And if even rumor has it that
One day you will die because of it
And if I were to die
And if you were to die
It is only a rumor.

Song, Amina Annabi
