A: The word “translation” means to express the words of one language in another language.

For example: The Japanese word “こんにちは” is the translation of the English word “hello”.

The word “interpreting” or “interpretation” means to understand something in a certain way.

For example: I interpret the word “home” as being a place of love, care and community.

However, “interpreting” could also refer to the translation of words from one language into another.

For example: “Jean will interpret for me during the interview, since I do not speak English”.

In this circumstance, the two words can be used interchangeably. But, we tend to use the word “translate” more often. Hope this helps.

A: "Towards" - Indicating the action of the sentence is going in the direction of the target. Example: "I throw the toy towards the dog." It's a more compact way of saying "I throw the toy in the direction of the dog."
"After" - Indicating that the action is taking place at a later time than the subject. Example: "I am going to a party after work."
"To" - Many different meanings, but in this context, I think that you mean the directional one. In this case, it's similar to "towards". Example: "I am moving closer to the mountains."
"For" - Also many different meanings, but normally it is indicating the purpose of the action, or a noun that is receiving the action. Example: "I am doing this for you." or "I work for money, not fame."

The rapper is condemning mob violence. It is hard to translate song lyrics because they are poetic and words can have multiple meanings (or just be chosen for their sound.) In standard English, I think he is saying:

"Perhaps I could be someone who wants peace, but I could change my mind and ask for violence."

"And I would be justified, because what we live is a hard and painful life." (I'm not sure what "grab the extension" means)

"We could send another person to death and kill them: someone's uncle, cousin, brother, or son."

He then says sarcastically, "Glory to all of those who will help you kill others."

"But those who kill others will soon understand"

"the unholy horror of killing our own people and murdering black people."
