Was Weibt Du Schon Lyrics in English apache 207

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Was Weibt Du Schon by apache 207 from German to English.
Sometimes rats gnaw through walls here
They were born here, but they don't wanna end up here
Mama, the white dust is just plaster from the ceiling
What do you even know about my block?
Phone's vibrating 'cause she wants to talk
I can't pick up 'cause I know she wants to come over
And when she stands in front of the projects, she's suddenly shocked
Sometimes I wanna get out of the jungle, but at the end of the day I stay here
Believe me, we dream of a Caddy, believe me, we dream of a Chevy
But every night the dreams drown in Jacky
Now and then even here a glimmer of hope slips away
Don't hang your head, maybe you'll see it
And sometimes rats gnaw through walls here
They were born here, but they don't wanna end up here
Mama, the white dust is just plaster from the ceiling
What do you even know about my block?
And sometimes we dare a look at the stars
We wanna go up there too, but how when every path's blocked?
Follow false trails, hoping they'll bring us closer
What do you even know about my block?
The sins weigh way more than the eight kilos on the backseat
You hope He hears your prayers, but right now He looks away
Cold metal between your hip and the waistband of your Nike shorts
Makes sure not much sweat drips even on scorching days here
Some get lucky
But never look back here
New house, new girl, new hood
As if we never existed
And sometimes rats gnaw through walls here
They were born here, but they don't wanna end up here
Mama, the white dust is just plaster from the ceiling
What do you even know about my block?
And sometimes we dare a look at the stars
We wanna go up there too, but how when every path's blocked?
Follow false trails, hoping they'll bring us closer
What do you even know about my block?
Miksu / Macloud
And sometimes rats gnaw through walls here
They were born here, but they don't wanna end up here
Mama, the white dust is just plaster from the ceiling
What do you even know about my block?
And sometimes we dare a look at the stars
We wanna go up there too, but how when every path's blocked?
Follow false trails, hoping they'll bring us closer
What do you even know about my block?

SONG MEANING

Was Weißt Du Schon plunges us into Apache 207’s concrete jungle, a maze of towering Plattenbau blocks where rats eat through walls, dreams drown nightly in cheap Jack Daniel’s, and the white dust on the table is definitely “just plaster.” With vivid street-movie imagery, the rapper contrasts raw survival instincts (a pistol tucked into Nike shorts, eight kilos in a car’s back seat) with stubborn hope: kids still crane their necks toward the stars, still picture themselves behind the wheel of a Caddy or Chevy, still answer buzzing phones that promise love or escape. The chorus repeats like graffiti on grey walls, asking outsiders, “What do you really know about my block?” and reminding listeners that although some neighbors manage to vanish into nicer houses and new lives, most remain caught between crumbling ceilings and dreams too heavy to lift. Apache turns this tight, melodic hip-hop track into a bittersweet postcard from Germany’s overlooked neighborhoods, mixing grit, vulnerability, and a flicker of defiance that keeps the whole block breathing.
