Azzou Hood Killer - Win Kounti (Where Were You?) translated [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Listned to Rap when it was on cassettes
And when you used to like cartoons
Wu Tang or Public Enemy
2Pac or Biggie since long ago in my ear
Large pants and reversed baseball cap
With my walkman I roamed in the hood
Shaved head, the blackman's hairstyle
They used to call me "baldie" or Kojak
I used to be different, the difference between us
You were living large, I was living a tough life
I used to work in a record store
I sold plastic bags and washed cars
I only wore Nike and Fila
I got the money for the groceries and batteries
I thanked Allah and accepted my life
I was underage but mighty and responsible

Where were you?
With the disdain in your eyes
Where were you?
Walking my way not caring about you
Where were you?
When you thought I'd never make it
Where were you ?
I was a Zawali living agmongst the Zawalis
Where were you ?
When I woke up early
Where were you ?
Making my money through hard work, not rest
Where were you ?
I was working for my old days
Where were you ?
When you laughed at me, because I rapped

When you used to
Brag with your dad's money
I was digging
For words which rhymed
On the paper, I planted my words
Whats in my heart, you hear it in my rhymes
I was waiting for my breakthrough
And on stage, With rap I'd make it big
The first girl which I totally trusted
To whome I gave my heart, was music
I have feelings, and I feel for people
For they are like me, that's why I care
I write about hard times, about the opressed
I write about the convict, and about the underprivileged
I write because writing makes me stand it
I loved it, Like my mother who brought me up
I write, and my writing passes through barbwires
I tell the truth, even If it causes my death

Where were you?
With the disdain in your eyes
Where were you?
Walking my way not caring about you
Where were you?
When you thought I'd never make it
Where were you ?
I was a Zawali living agmongst the Zawalis
Where were you ?
When I woke up early
Where were you ?
Earlning my money with hard work, no rest
Where were you ?
I was working for my old days
Where were you ?
When you laughed at me, because I rapped

Don't be upset, If It's too late for you
For in a short while, It will be more then impossible
I made it, through my honest hardwork
Why do you come crying and hating me
Come face me and tell me what you did
What you built what you got or what you made
Looks like None! Money ? None! House? None!
Looks like you made nothing
Your life has ended, and mine just started
Your on a planet and I'm on another
Look at me, where Hip hop has taken me
Made me roll in German rides
I got respect, and I'm known everywhere
Allah has given me, made me carefree, and made me wealthy
Finish what you started, and look down on me
I'll educate you, then I'll make you blind
Where were you?
With the disdain in your eyes
Where were you?
Walking my way not caring about you
Where were you?
When you thought I'd never make it
Where were you ?
I was a Zawali living agmongst the Zawalis
Where were you ?
When I woke up early
Where were you ?
Earlning my money with hard work, no rest
Where were you ?
I was working for my old days
Where were you ?
When you laughed at me, because I rapped
