Again, a person is talking to his brother about the difficulties of earning an MA. He is joking with him and painting a miserable picture of his life and what he will become in the future.

و حاسس إن انا حاجى بقى الاقيك إيه ضهرك مقتب
و ماسك الاظرف و لابس جلابية مقطعة
و ماشى بقى فى الشارع هايم على وجهك
