Fool Out Of You Lyrics Translation (from “Hustle 2.0”)
Tawade observes small rappers throwing parties filled with big talk. She dismisses opponents’ talent as pretense, declaring her words contain lava. Her lyrics reject gold chains and shallow brags as industry junk.

Hustle Bustle Bheed Bhaad Hee Hai Maine DekhaI’ve seen it’s all just hustle, bustle, and crowds here.
Yahan Pe Har Koi Hard Hee Hain Maine DekhaI’ve seen that everyone here acts all ‘hard’.
Har Jagah Pe Saare Badi Badi Baaton WaaleEverywhere, you find people full of big talk,
Chhote Chhote Rapperon Ki Party Hai Maine DekhaI’ve seen that it’s just a party of small-time rappers.
Maine Dekha Koi Sone Ki Chainon Pe AayaI saw someone show up covered in gold chains.
Maine Dekha Koi Mehenge Gehno Mein AayaI saw someone arrive dripping in expensive jewelry.
Ghuma Firaake Wohi Baat Bataane WaleThe kind who just beat around the bush to say the same old thing,
Rapperon Ka Yahan Pe Kabaad Hee Hai Maine DekhaI’ve seen this place is just a junkyard for those kinds of rappers.
That’s Shallow Soch Samajh Ke ChunoThat’s shallow, so choose thoughtfully.
Sun Ne Walon Bas Ek Mashwara SunoTo all who listen, just hear one piece of advice.
Unhe Daraane Main Aa Gayi Hoon Dete DastakI’ve come knocking at their door to give them a scare.
Pseudo Rap Sunaaye Toh Bolo What TheIf they try to play some pseudo-rap, just tell ’em, ‘What the…’
Beep Beep Kar Diya Rhyme GayaI just ‘beeped’ it out, and the rhyme is gone.
Darwaaze Pe Aayi Hoon Tera Time Gaya KyaI’m at your door, has your time run out?
Maine Bajaayi Hain Doorbell Khol NaI’ve rung the doorbell, so open up.
Aage Se Na Baatein Zara Normal BolnaFrom now on, just try to talk normally.
Aur Naa Yeh Tareeka ChunuAnd no, I won’t choose this method.
I Got Better Rapping To DoI got better rapping to do.

Main Bohot Baatein Karti Hoon NaI talk a lot, don’t I?
Lekin Yeh Rap Show Hai Toh Let Me RapBut this is a rap show, so let me rap.
Koi Shauq Nahi Mujhe Laakh Log JaaneI’ve no desire for millions of people to know me,
Joh Ki Khud Toh Ho Bujhi Bujhi Aag Se Zamaaneespecially if they are just extinguished flames in this world.
Mujhe Shauq Hain Ki Aisa Koi Sune Mere GaaneMy desire is that someone hears my songs,
Jisey Badle Mein Apne Bhi Gaane Ho Sunaanewho, in return, has their own songs to share.
Mujhe Aise Kisi Dost Humraaz Ki Talaash Hain Ye Aaj HainI’m searching for a friend like that, a confidant, starting today.
Aaj Nahi Toh Kal Nahi Toh ParsoIf not today, then tomorrow, or the day after.
Aisa Koi Milne Mein Lagte Hain BarsonIt takes years to find someone like that.
Thodi Mein Thode Tum Thoda Thoda TarsoA little of me, a little of you, so yearn for it a little.
Filhaal Mere Gaane Mein There’s A Little More SoFor now, in my song, there’s a little more, so
Relax & Sit Back & Refill Your Snacksrelax and sit back and refill your snacks.
I’m Bout To Paint Grey With Your Whites & Your BlacksI’m ’bout to paint grey with your whites and your blacks.
Take Them As Lessons Or Personal AttacksTake them as lessons or personal attacks.
It’s Really Just The Truth Of Our Fame-Hungry YouthIt’s really just the truth of our fame-hungry youth.
Jhooth Mooth Ka Pehnava Talent Ka DikhavaA fake appearance, a pretense of talent.
Teri Baat Mein Na Dum Meri Har Baat Mein LavaThere’s no power in your words, but every word of mine is lava.
Na Bulaava Tujhe Aaye Jaha Talent Ka Kaam HainYou won’t get an invitation where real talent is required.
Career Ke Naam Pe Tera Do Dinn Ka Charm HainIn the name of a career, your charm will only last for two days.
But I Ain’t Gonna Stand In That QueueBut I ain’t gonna stand in that queue.
I’ve Got Better Rapping To DoI’ve got better rapping to do.
Aur Na Main Inke Gaane Sunu WhyAnd I don’t listen to their songs, why?
