featuring an old Balalaika I bought for 15 bucks

lyrics

Not worried ‘bout the time, only worried ‘bout the dogs
Skippin’ over glass like hoppin’ over logs
The shards are kinda small but they would take it all
Got my phone in my pocket in case I need to make that call
Just hope I got the credit or I’m just a neanderthal

Runnin’ past the packs in the dust-lit fields of glistening glass
Reachin’ for my packs in my pocket, tryina get some energy fast
Trick my brain into trickin’ my legs to pick it up, to pick it up fast
Comin’ ‘round the turn, better cross quick, better get over to the grass

zid zid khouya

I got worried ‘bout the time ‘cause the sun didn’t shine
But we’re just now tickin’ past 3:49
It’s kinda late or kinda early, I don’t mind
Check my pulse and my breathing and my vital signs

And I’m not worried ‘bout the climb, only worried ‘bout the fall
Shoe shatter shimmerin’, sweat is turnin’ into salt
Winter went and Spring sprung early like Summer in the Fall
Shoe shatter shimmerin’, sweat is turnin’ into salt

Hot hands, chilly cheeks
Happy heart, at least I think

Crushed cans, hot feet
Fire’s nice, at least I think

Darija Translation:
Go brother go!
You gotta get to a place over there
Far from the danger
Far from the sadness
Where the mountain touches the sky
Hand me my melody
Throw me the remedy
Music always..
Sleep started to hit me
So I took my time
And then I dreamt of Títíma
