Dizzy DROS, a prominent figure in Moroccan rap, uses his song 'M3A L3ECHRANE' to paint a vivid picture of life in the streets, filled with struggles, aspirations, and a quest for respect. The repetitive phrase 'Mnin kan koun m3a l3echrane' (When I'm with the gang) sets the tone for the song, emphasizing the importance of camaraderie and the shared experiences of hardship and survival.
The lyrics delve into the harsh realities of street life, where love is scarce, and the heart is hardened like stone. Dizzy DROS speaks of a world where violence and wounds are commonplace, and the pursuit of money and survival often takes precedence over everything else. The mention of '2 9ra3i d'Coca skhan' (two bottles of hot Coca-Cola) and 'rass derb howa l'kwan' (the head of the street is the corner) highlights the mundane yet significant details of street life, where even small comforts are cherished.
Dizzy DROS also touches on themes of identity and respect, both personal and cultural. He expresses a desire for the approval of his parents and God, acknowledging the difficulty of gaining respect in a world that often seems indifferent. The song also critiques societal structures and the lack of opportunities, with references to the Moroccan context, such as 'Meghrib dyalna a7ssan blad ou tella3touh lina f lkarr' (Our Morocco is the best country, but you made it hard for us). Through his raw and unfiltered lyrics, Dizzy DROS provides a voice for those navigating the complexities of street life, seeking dignity and recognition in a challenging environment.
