Tell me, why are my tears today not worth even a penny? And you, do my candles burn day and night in the ghetto? Neither God nor hashish in my father's tobacco. I can't call him dad, my mother has a cold in her heart, and my older sister gets mocked by her friends. I wanted to finish my studies, the kids from the neighborhood laughed at me. What do you want to become? All you want is to sell yourself to the West, you dog. They judge me by my appearance, this is the ghetto dweller, my heart turned from soft to stone because of you, the educated ones. The first day I went out to beg, I didn't know that those before me had already found their place. The neighborhood, the alleyway, and the dirhams, they took it all out of me. The neighborhood we have is not in the scriptures, the neighborhood we have is in the flesh and blood. The season we have is for garlic, not for the love of kings and the luxury of sheep. Sheep are not found in the neighborhood, they are found in the officer's car, in the pockets of the corrupt. The dog that barks at us with lightning and thunder, that's why you see us biting the situation, we are all tired of the state because... you turned us into this.

Time passed, people came to me, they wanted me to sell hashish, their brother was watching me, and he wanted the sheep, I had to give it to him. My mother is sick, the first time, the second time, my name became a ball in the meat grinder. The money came in, the food went out, we smoked in the neighborhood, they became just like me. They follow me day and night, day and night, sometimes my mother's tears flow, and sometimes time drives me crazy, and it drives me crazy. And he never spoke of the football parade, even though I analyze people, even though I never studied in an office, except for what they do. Honestly, today I regret the system, you have to change it, you have to, you have to change it. The kids in our neighborhood are about to explode, we want to work, what's wrong with us? We will change our destiny. Enough, enough, enough, enough, they started making me get into money, enough, enough, enough, enough. I'm tired of sheep, I want to move on, enough, enough, the sheep circle, everyone is surprised, except for the clothes. The first time, second time, third time, fourth time, they caught me in prison.
