Lyrics and translation Joe Flizzow feat. SonaOne - Apa Khabar (Live AJL 29)

Apa Khabar (Live AJL 29)

Suaraku, Ini untuk underground
Ini untuk hiphop, ini untuk Malaysia
We made, sit

Merenung ke luar jendela
Bayu pagi meniup lembut
Lihat bintang di angkasa
Purnama menerangi gelapku

Dan bila fajar menjelma
Itu permulaan hari baru
Dunia gamay bunyinya
Sunyiku hanya Tuhan tahu

Dalam perjalanan banyak persimpangan
Di mana kita bertukar arah
Kau lurus ke kiri aku tegak ke kanan
Di mana kita tersilap langkah

Kadang kala waktu berhenti
Ku toleh ke sisi
Engkau siaga di sampingku
Tapi lebih sering kali
Bertemu dalam mimpi
Semuka dengan sahabatku

Aku tanya apa khabar
Aku tanya apa khabar
Aku tanya apa khabar
Aku tanya apa khabar semua

Mereka kata masa depan kami sungguh cerah
Lirik dan rap kami bak anugerah
Ini semua sebelum semua anugerah
Masa bila lapar semua makan mie segera

Show pertama luar KL di Pulau Pinang
Lapan orang naik dua kancil tapi semua senang
Dua bilik empat kantil jadi empat di lantai
Kalau tidak silap ada yang sampai di tepi pantai

Dan kali pertama kita diserbu peminat
Di Kuching, Sarawak seperti semalam aku ingat
Setiap langkah bersama seakan tidak percaya
Kita berjaya jadikan rap sebagai kerjaya
Permulaan pengembaraan yang berliku
Dan ini mungkin sinopsis hidupku dalam lagu
Kau kembarku hari ini dan semalam
Jadi hari esok itu sendiri boleh faham

Ku turuti
Ku toleh ke sisi
Engkau tiada di sampingku
Tapi lebih seringkali
Bertemu dalam mimpi
Semuka dengan sahabatku

Aku tanya apa khabar
Aku tanya apa khabar
Aku tanya apa khabar
Aku tanya apa khabar semua

Pada mulanya kita menjajah
Lagu-lagu bahasa penjajah
Dan kita berdua budak belasan
Kau pandai buat percaturan
Industri penuh dengan peraturan
Semua kita bahas dan pidatokan
Sebab ini dua budak bijak
Kita kata ya mereka tidak

Kalau gagal merancang
Itu merancang untuk gagal
Ku masih ingat pesanmu
Ingat Zal kita Z paling handal Zal

Suntikan semangat untukku
Setiap persembahan phenomenal
Beribu lagi fans luar stadium
Lepas pusing satu Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia

Angan-angan jadi impian impian jadi cita-cita
Kata-kata jadi lagu puisi jalanan tercipta
Siapa kata jangan bermimpi doaku pada Yang Esa
Mungkin permulaan baru di ketika berbeza

Kadang kala waktu berhenti
Ku toleh ke sisi
Engkau tiada di sampingku
Tapi lebih seringkali
Bertemu dalam mimpi
Semuka dengan sahabatku

Aku tanya apa khabar
Aku tanya apa khabar
Aku tanya apa khabar (say what?)
Aku tanya apa khabar semua

Ku tanya apa khabar
Aku tanya apa khabar
Aku tanya apa khabar (Raxzel)
Aku tanya apa khabar semua
We gotta love it

What's Up (Live AJL 29)

My voice, it's for the underground
It's for hip-hop, it's for Malaysia
We made it, yes

Contemplating out the window
The morning breeze is blowing softly
See the stars in the sky
The full moon lights up my darkness

And when dawn breaks
It's the beginning of a new day
The world is quiet
Only God knows my loneliness

Many intersections in life
Where we change our paths
You go straight left, I go right
Where we take a wrong step

Sometimes time stops
I look to the side
You're there by my side
But more often than not
I meet you in my dreams
Face to face with my friend

I ask, "What's up?"
I ask, "What's up?"
I ask, "What's up?"
I ask, "What's up, everyone?"

They say our future is bright
Our lyrics and rap are a gift
This was before all the awards
When we were all hungry, eating instant noodles

Our first show outside of KL was in Penang
Eight of us in two cars, but we were all happy
Two rooms, four bunks, so four slept on the floor
If I'm not mistaken, some of us even slept on the beach

And the first time we were mobbed by fans
In Kuching, Sarawak, like it was just yesterday
Every step we took together, we couldn't believe it
We had succeeded in making rap our career
The beginning of an adventurous and winding road
And this is perhaps a synopsis of my life in a song
You were my brother, yesterday and today
So tomorrow will make sense

I follow
I look to the side
You're not by my side
But more often than not
I meet you in my dreams
Face to face with my friend

I ask, "What's up?"
I ask, "What's up?"
I ask, "What's up?"
I ask, "What's up, everyone?"

Initially, we colonized
Songs in the colonizer's language
And we were both teenagers
You were good at strategizing
The industry is full of rules
We discussed and talked about everything
Because we were two smart kids
We said yes, they said no

If you fail to plan
That's planning to fail
I still remember your message
Remember, Zal, we are the best, Zal

A boost of semangat for me
Every performance was phenomenal
Thousands more fans outside the stadium
After touring Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia

Dreams into aspirations, aspirations into ideals
Words into songs, street poetry created
Who says don't dream, my prayers to the One
Perhaps a new beginning in a different time

Sometimes time stops
I look to the side
You're not by my side
But more often than not
I meet you in my dreams
Face to face with my friend

I ask, "What's up?"
I ask, "What's up?"
I ask, "What's up?" (say what?)
I ask, "What's up, everyone?"

I ask, "What's up?"
I ask, "What's up?"
I ask, "What's up?" (Raxzel)
I ask, "What's up, everyone?"
We gotta love it
