sPEAK’s Elevate Lyrics Translation
The lyrics later turn to his source of strength. He states that while everyone searches for peace externally, he found it privately through prayer. He also acknowledges watching his rivals fall in their attempts to bring him down, a sight he finds satisfying.
Kiye Kuchh Waade The Jisse Nibhaya NahiI made some promises that I didn’t keep
Par Galtiyon Se Seekha Phir Dohraya NahiBut I learned from mistakes and never repeated them
Jab Zaroorat Thi Inki Mujhe Koi Aaya NahiWhen I needed them, no one showed up for me
Buri Aadaton Pe Waqt Karna Zaya NahiI don’t waste my time on bad habits anymore
Khada Hai Yaar Tera Kisse Bhulaya NahiYour friend is still standing, I’ve forgotten no one
Dil Mein Hai Pyaar Bhara Toh Koi Paraya NahiMy heart is full of love, so no one is a stranger to me
Sab Hai Sukoon Ke Khoj Mein Koi Paya NahiEveryone’s searching for peace, but no one has found it
Main Paya Sajde Mein Kise Bataya NahiI found it in my prayers, and I haven’t told a soul
Haan Duniya Yeh Nafrat Se Chalti HaiYes, this world runs on hatred
Koi Aage Badh Jaaye Toh Jalti HaiIf someone gets ahead, it burns with jealousy
Jab Matlab Main Samjha Inn Rishton KaWhen I finally understood the nature of these relationships
Samjha Ke Duniya Toh Matlab Se Chalti HaiI realized the world only runs on self-interest
Galti Yeh Ki Maine Kaafi BaarMy mistake was that, time and again
Apno Mein Wafa Ko Dhoondte RaheI kept searching for loyalty among my own people
Par Humko Hi Bewafa Keh DiyaBut in the end, they called me the disloyal one
Bewajah Yeh Tabah Karke GayeThey left me destroyed for no reason at all
Meri Badnaami Log Karte RahePeople kept trying to tarnish my name
Sach Kya Hai Jaanke Bhi Sareaam Chup HuEven knowing the truth, I remain publicly silent
Mujhe Gira Ke Upar Jaane Ke Chakkar MeinIn their effort to rise by pulling me down
Kitna Niche Gir Rahe SaaleLook how low these fools are falling
Inhe Dekh Ke Main Khush HuAnd I’m happy just watching them
Soch Ke Yeh Achha Lagta Hai MujheIt feels good to think that
Mere Rab Ne Shukr Hai Inn Jaisa Nahi BanayaMy God, thankfully, did not make me like them
Shows Ho Ya Brand Yeh Sab Zyada Kiye BinaWithout doing too many shows or brand deals
Inse Zyada Gaana Daal Ke Inse Zyada Main KamayaI released more songs and earned more than them
Mujhe Mat Dikha Yeh Guroor Yeh GhamandDon’t show me that pride, that arrogance
Jis Zindagi Ko Jee Raha TuThe life that you’re living right now
Woh Kab Ka Jee Ke Aaya MainIs a life I already lived and left behind long ago
Sabse Hatke Soch Iss Laalchi Duniya MeinIn this greedy world, with a mindset unlike any other
Rakhne Walo Mein Se Sirf Aaj Akele Ko Paya MainI’ve found that I’m the only one left standing alone
Nibhaya Main Jo Bhi Bola Aaj Tak Mic PeI’ve stood by everything I’ve ever said on the mic
Sirf Gaano Mein Nahi Og Hu Real Life MeinI’m not just an OG in my songs, I’m an OG in real life
Khuda Ke Raaste Pe Chal Raha Hu ParI am walking on God’s path, but
Shaitan Bhi Saath Baitha Hua Hai Side MeinThe devil is also sitting right here beside me
Kiye Kuchh Waade The Jisse Nibhaya NahiI made some promises that I didn’t keep
Par Galtiyon Se Seekha Phir Dohraya NahiBut I learned from mistakes and never repeated them
Jab Zaroorat Thi Inki Mujhe Koi Aaya NahiWhen I needed them, no one showed up for me
Buri Aadaton Pe Waqt Karna Zaya NahiI don’t waste my time on bad habits anymore
Khada Hai Yaar Tera Kisse Bhulaya NahiYour friend is still standing, I’ve forgotten no one
Dil Mein Hai Pyaar Bhara Toh Koi Paraya NahiMy heart is full of love, so no one is a stranger to me
Sab Hai Sukoon Ke Khoj Mein Koi Paya NahiEveryone’s searching for peace, but no one has found it
Main Paya Sajde Mein Kise Bataya NahiI found it in my prayers, and I haven’t told a soul
