Mumbai se mei agla socha kya gaana du agla
[From Mumbai, I thought what song should I release next]
Kya firse likhdu gaane mei kya kitna meine ragda
[Should I write in the song again about how much I’ve struggled?]
Kya firse likh du gaane mei ki kaise kia lafda
[Should I write in the song again about how I got into fights?]
Kya firse likhdu gaane mei mera andhruni jhagda
[Should I write in the song again about my internal conflicts?]

Tu rapper khali gangster banra baat karra matter ki
[You’re just a rapper acting like a gangster, talking about serious matters]
Mei baat karne aaya real life battle ki
[I’ve come to talk about real-life battles]
Aj gaadi se ha dekha bahar toh duniya dikhra alag hai
[Today, I looked outside from my car, and the world looks different]
Aankho mei pyaas hai aur sukha hua halak hai
[There’s thirst in the eyes and the throat is dry]

Rehne ko sadak hai
[There’s the street to live on]
Paise ka talab hai
[There’s a craving for money]
Yaha hath pair hai sahi salamat
[Here, hands and feet are perfectly fine]
Bheekh mangra marad hai
[Yet a man is begging]

Bridge ke neeche sora bacha hora idhar darad hai
[A child is sleeping under the bridge, there is pain here]

[Life here is unfair]
Street lagra funfair hai
[The street feels like a funfair]

Itna dhoka khaye bharosa karnese manfaire
[After so much betrayal, my heart fears trusting]
Life mei zara dhang se reh kiya meine manse re

Passion kia follow tabhi ration bhara gharpe mei
[I followed my passion, that’s why I could fill rations at home]
Koi nai aane wala tujhe nai uthane wala
[No one is going to come, no one is going to lift you up]

Sirf khali aaye toh kachra uthane kachrawala
[Only the garbage collector will come to pick up the trash]
Kayko hai aas mei koi pass kare do niwala
[Why are you hoping someone will pass you a couple of bites?]
Rehjayega sadak mei khudkeliye kuch kar toh lala
[You’ll be left on the streets, do something for yourself, man]
Ganda nala gharke pass
[A dirty sewer near the house]

Dhokebaaz koi ni khaas
[Backstabbers, no one is special]
Peene ko nai paani khaas
[No proper water to drink]
Nal ke neeche nahale fast
[Take a quick bath under the tap]
Chalke jara nanga pair toh gareeb
[Walking barefoot, you’re poor]

Hora satyanash dosh dera auroko
[Getting destroyed and blaming others]
Be mouka hai na tere pass

Blame karke fayda nai hai sarkar pe
[There’s no point in blaming the government]
Rehna tujhe foothpath pe
[You have to live on the footpath]

Baat meri mat kaat be
[Don’t interrupt me]
Baatcheet mei wazan hai be
[There’s weight in my words]

Teko khali spoon feeding chaiye
[You just want to be spoon-fed]
Koi bichake deve red carpet

Kisi aur ke liye nai

Hakikat mei kyu rukha hai
[Why are you stuck in reality?]
Apne sapno ke chal
[Walk towards your dreams]

Chala ghar chai bech ya fir swiggy kar

[Even after being there, why aren’t you there? Yes, why aren’t you?]
Paisa sochke laga mei, mehnat karke kamane
[I invested money thinking, to earn through hard work]
Gawaya nai jawani, tabhi toh paisa ambani
