[Intro: Sayf]
A quick shout-out and greeting from the artists.

[Verse 1: Sayf]
This part talks about living in a small apartment with a family and feeling the pressure of daily struggles. Life is hard, and simple things like food are appreciated because they’ve experienced scarcity. The lyrics reflect frustration with a world that doesn’t always understand or care about their problems. There’s a mix of personal and social issues, like raising kids, watching people gamble or meddle in others’ lives, and dealing with situations that don’t affect them directly. It also highlights the feeling of being trapped in circumstances beyond one’s control, where survival and protecting your own matters more than wealth or fame. Even small moments, like having breakfast with children, carry meaning and contrast with the harshness outside. The artist emphasizes staying cautious, keeping quiet when necessary, and not trusting everyone. It’s a mix of reflecting on the past, acknowledging hardships, and observing the world around them with skepticism. Everything from politics to sports betting is presented as distractions that don’t change the tough reality of their lives.
