Latakia, or Latakiyah (and often locally transliterated as Lattakia) (Arabic: اللَاذِقِيَّة al-Lādhiqīyah), is the principal port city of Syria, as well as the capital of the Latakia Governorate. In addition to serving as a port, the city is a manufacturing center for surrounding agricultural towns and villages. According to the 2004 official census, the population of the city is 383,786. It is the 4th largest city in Syria after Aleppo, Damascus and Homs.
Though the site has been inhabited since the second millennium BC, the modern-day city was first founded in the 4th century BC under the rule of the Seleucid empire. Latakia was subsequently ruled by the Romans, then the Ummayads and Abbasids in the 8th–10th centuries. Under their rule, the Byzantines frequently attacked the city, periodically recapturing it before losing it again to the Arabs, particularly the Fatimids. Afterward, Latakia was ruled by the Seljuk Turks, Crusaders, Ayyubids, Mamluks, and Ottomans. Following World War I, Latakia was assigned to the French mandate of Syria, in which it served as the capital of the autonomous territory of the Alawites. This autonomous territory became the State of Alawites in 1922, proclaiming its independence a number of times until reintegrating into Syria in 1944.

iiiiiiiif...
you don't get a job,
though you're tryin' and you stop
believing that there's s.th. for you out there...
don't you lose your faith
and don't do any mistakes
though the devil on your shoulder's getting louder.
one thing i can tell you
is you should never sell your
soul and your body to the bad guys !
i know it's a temptation
but keep a little patience
'cause when you go to fast you fall for their lies.
i can imagine it's kind of hard
if you don't know how to start
working and gettin' money for a living.
but i think you should wait
for a good way to get payed;
don't go to the enemy i'm not kiddin'!
think about it now
i think that you're about
to be doin' a job that's making you an asshole.
i can guarantee
that this is going to be
unsatisfying and stressfull....
so....
don't don't don't don't don't become a cop !!!!
'cause being a cop is fucked up !!!
if people don't get a job
and demonstrate you beat'em up.
is that really what you wanna be doin' out there?
i know you don't, of course,
but the choice just ain't yours
when the chiefcommander behind you is getting louder.
you'll lose your selfesteem
and therefore you get mean,
treatin' people like you are superior.
don't you understand
that this gets out of hand:
you'll turn into a violent brainless creature.
so listen to my advice:
this is'n a propper price,
you shouldn't even be thinkin' about payin' that.
the way you would be changing
ain't worth no stupid payment.
they're gonna make you aggressive, dumb and braindead!
do you know how you can tell
a human from an animal?
ever heard about the little thing called reason?
you just give it away
'cause ev'ry order you obey...
why would you wanna be a policeman?
so....
don't don't don't don't don't become a cop !!!!
