Bohemia | J Hind • From “I Am Icon”
Daddy’S Home Lyrics Translation (from “I Am Icon”)
Bohemia compares new rappers to ‘crows walking like swans,’ mocking their forced imitation. His declaration ‘I haven’t fully become Bohemia yet’ underscores the gap between his authentic grind and others’ posturing. References to luxury brands and crypto emphasize superficial trends in the scene.
Ho Munde Jinne Super StarAll the guys who are superstars,
Bhari Aapa Ohna Saareya TeI’m more powerful than all of them.
Aapa Magar Otho Rehan ModelThe models stay behind me,
Sadde Ishareyaan Te Dekha DekhiFollowing my signals, just trying to copy me.
Saare Vichaare Kharaab Ho Gaye MundeAll these poor guys have been ruined,
Par Apne Wallon Hip-Hop Ho Gaye MundeBut in their own minds, they’ve all become hip-hop artists.
Off White Louis Vuitton Ho Gaye MundeThey’ve become Off-White and Louis Vuitton boys,
Balenciaga Vich Maanh Ho Gaye MundeFinding their pride in Balenciaga.
Kawwa Jivein Turda Ve Haans Di ChaalLike a crow trying to walk like a swan,
Saare Mere Hi Jaal Da Shikaar Ho Gaye MundeAll these guys have become victims of my trap.

Bohemia Ni Baneya MainI haven’t fully become ‘Bohemia’.
