From the song

Dima ديما by SNX

A comic Moroccan and Egyptian track that opens by scoring itself "10 out of 10" and teasing the failures who cannot match it. He says he lives well in a good city and now understands why he and the other person never understood each other. He claims a big brain that thinks a lot, and asks who is wronging a girl and who is asking about her. Then comes the joke at the centre: he will pay with the money he earns, imitate sense for a while, and says to his beloved, come and let's get married, have little children and live in Upper Egypt growing potatoes. If she doesn't beat him, he says, she will find him there, eating nothing but potatoes. The title means "always".

Deeper meaning

A mock-boast that turns into a proposal. The idea of a life of potatoes in the south is a deliberate anti-glamour picture, a wink at the usual brag of dance tracks, and it makes the proposal sound more sincere than any pledge of riches would have.
