The song itself references a lot of battles and events in the war to mock Bosnian losses of territory, as well as Alija himself.

			The line "sijetiš li se Prijedora i Sane,/i Kozarca što je s' desne strane" was made to mock Bosnia for losing the city Prijedor and village Kozarac in May/April 1992 and in general having the Sana area fall into Serb hands.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oslfA6z0q54 Сана и Приједор у одбрани Коридора].

The end of the first verse, "drhte ruke oko Banja Luke", is a reference to the strategic importance of Banja Luka, the capital of Republika Srpska, and it being unreachable for Bosnian forces at the time.

			In the chorus, Baja uses the word "Balija" to directly insult Alija. The term Balija has its origin in the 19th century being used as a derogatory word for Muslim farmers in regions of todays Bosnia and Hercegovina. In the 90's the term was predominantly used by Serbs and Croats to refer to Muslims in a derogatory way. Baja also says that Alija "destroyed a peaceful dream", painting him as the main culprit for the outbreak of civil war in Bosnia. The chorus ends with the line "nosila ti Drina sto mudžahedina svaki dan". The use of the word "mudžahedin" is both a way to refer to Bosnian soldiers in a derogatory way and to reference the ARBiH unit 5689 (known by its other name, el-Mujahid). The unit consisted of foreign fighters and was often used to showcase the might of the Bosnian Army.<ref>Schindler, John R (1 January 2007).

			Baja, with his arms around a band of girls are in an office, with Baja starting to dance and the girls following along when the song is playing. When he sings "drhte ruko oko Banja Luke", he shows his hands and shakes them. The girls join Baja and sing the chorus with him. When he sings "kvragu dali i Maglaj i Jajce" he has his hands out, and head down. When he sings "oj Alija tvoju li ti sliku", his head is down with a tense expression, as if he is shouting it and when he follows up with "gdje su zelene beretke u Zvorniku," he raises his hands with a smirk. When he sings the line "zapjevaću dugo nisam pjevo, biće naše Novo Sarajevo", he backs up and his arms shoot in the air. When he finishes singing the song, he collapses, arms still around the girls. Throughout the video, wide shots and close-up shots of either Baja or any of the girls are changed in intervals.
