Win Kounti (Where Were You?) translated

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
