Interpretation
The song 'Dicka Was' by
Kool Savas deals with the theme of betrayal and alienation within a friendship. Savas talks about a person he no longer recognizes and who has distanced themselves from him. He describes how this person only thinks of themselves and takes advantage of him ('He only looks for his chance, seizes it, and fucks me over'). This person is only there when the party is about him ('He's always there when the party is about me'), but not in difficult times.
He also criticizes the behavior of this person, who lies in court ('But sings like a star when he has to go to court'). Savas feels betrayed by this person because he thought they were friends ('Or have I been deceived? Trusted him blindly because that's what friends do').
In the second verse, Savas talks about another person who interferes in his affairs ('And tell me, why is he sticking his nose in my business?'). Here too, he feels betrayed and disappointed ('All these years, you were just preparing for your springboard').
The chorus and the title of the song ('Dicka, what's wrong with you?') express Savas' confusion and frustration about the behavior of these people. He can't understand why they have changed so much and why they have betrayed him.
The song ends with the question about the true selves of these people ('Tell me, what is your true self?'). Savas realizes that he no longer trusts these people ('I listen to you, but I don't trust you'). Overall, 'Dicka Was' is a song about disappointment, betrayal, and the difficulty of truly understanding people.
