[Intro]
D-D-Dollar sign, one time
Krr, pow
Yeah, dollar sign, we back
[Verse 1]
Yeh toh sirf karein baat
Jab karein baat toh mere baare mein karein baat
Mere bina toh inke gaane naa chalein khaas
Bina kaam kaaj ye pale-bade, naa bane baap (Haan)
Maine kabhi kare gun, maine kare paap
Yahaan toh bhare saanp, karein baat jaise bane baagh
Reefer with tequila, kare bandiyo ko geela
Rehta [?] with the heater jab bhi dikhe seedha jale haath
Bow now, slow down
Pachis show kare sold out (Sold out)
Mujhse puchh mat haal
Pure saal ikattha karun jaake maal, lage jaise koi godown (Godown)
Bow now, slow down (Slow down)
Gaane inke sune, mai so raha hu (So raha hu)
Ye rappers hai joke, inse puchhoge toh
Honge “he/he” inke pronouns (Ha-ha)
Ye jaante log that I’m killin’ it killin’ it
Inse puchhoge toh, they be fearing my pen again
So cold aise lage they be feeling the chilling
And mmera flow lage gold if the game is so elegant
Rapping fast, ab masterclass du inko
Stack pe racks ab, pass the cash ab gin lo
Acting wack you lack the facts and info
Album stacked to back to back ab single
Ignore karu maine toh naa “Hi” bola
Hoti inki chaandi par ye toh bas chaahe suna
[?]
Sade pade kyu? Beta khade-khade vibe do na
Lagu thoda bipolar, abhi bhi naa mic chhoda
Peeke dhai tola, kabhi-kabhi lagu high thoda
Side ho jaa, tere gaano se naa koi hype ho raha
Sung a lullaby [?] ab toh bhai so raha
See rap shows near Novi Sad
Get tickets as low as $30
[Chorus]
Ye de rahe mujhe apna opinion, main bolun, “Abey, chup be saale” (Chup)
Mujhe nahi chahiye teri rai, kara mat ghutne kale (Haan)
Ye launde bane bawarchi (Oye), apni baaton se khoob pakare (Okay)
Ye aake kyu bhaunk rahe idhar? Maine naa kutte pale
[Verse 2]
Inhe bolo they not ready
Aisa nahi hota ki meri aim not steady
Agar chahiye war then of course they gon’ get it
Interview bhi naa chale bina name drop kare
I’m sick of it, internet bickering
Baaton ki naa fikar, bitches sitting there giggling
Click a pen
Doge mujhe dhakka then I just go and kill again
Cash flow Krish with the big dick jigglin’ (Woo)
Not a joke though, karein choke woh
Mixed the pee in the pot with the coco
Mere sab dost, saare cut-throat
Bolo sabko I don’t give a fuck though
Kar believe, I need to keep it hundo
Khalbali ki kal umeed hai humko
Verbally yahaan har gully me jung ho
Chadh bali ya hadbadi mein marlo (Woo)
Le gaye hum kursi baawe
Garmi mein kardu mai sardiyaan dekh
Kisi bhi shehar mein ho kuchh bhi kalesh
I walk with my chest out, Urfi Javed (Ha-ha)
You don’t know ‘Jack’ ye beat pe [?]
She been stalkin’ me jaise fee-fi-fo-fum
A giant in the game, you just reach my scrotum
She can get the pole, I mean the totem
Khatam karein bottle hi tabhi bhi naa ho talli
Tere jaise maaru ten aur jaise bow chali
Chaahte mujhe vocally, hood mein ya ho gully
Bitches come and go daily lage jaise hotel hi
Khatam karu bottle hi tabhi bhi naa ho talli
Game full of clown, mujhe lage saare joker hi
Baate inki dogli, niyat inki khokli (Woo)
Hawa meri chali jab naa chali inki do ghadi
[Chorus]
Ye de rahe mujhe apna opinion, main bolun, “Abey, chup be saale” (Chup)
Mujhe nahi chahiye teri rai, kara mat ghutne kale (Haan)
Ye launde bane bawarchi (Oye), apni baaton se khoob pakare (Okay)
Ye aake kyu bhaunk rahe idhar? Maine naa kutte pale
[Outro]
Ye de rahe mujhe apna opinion, main bolun, “Abey, chup be saale”
Mujhe nahi chahiye teri rai, kara mat ghutne kale
Ye launde bane bawarchi, apni baton se khoob pakare
Ye aake kyu bhaunk rahe idhar? Maine naa kutte pale
