Never Back Down Meaning & Lyrics (Raftaar)
The songwriter Dilin Nair talks about fighting personal laziness and excuses. He mentions a dream of a Lamborghini and a bottle of whiskey to show distractions. A key line states, ‘Your father tells you, I’m putting all my faith in you.’
Never Back Down Never Back DownNever back down, never back down.
Jitna Bhi Dabe Tu Karna Nahin Tap OutNo matter how much you’re pressured, don’t ever tap out.
Never Back Down Never Back DownNever back down, never back down.
Tera Baap Tujhe Bole Main Tere Bharose Baithta HoonYour father tells you, ‘I’m putting all my faith in you.’
Never Back Down Never Back DownNever back down, never back down.
Jitna Bhi Dabe Tu Karna Nahin Tap OutNo matter how much you’re pressured, don’t ever tap out.
Never Back Down Never Back DownNever back down, never back down.
Tera Baap Tujhe Bole Main Tere Bharose Baithta HoonYour father tells you, ‘I’m putting all my faith in you.’
Farzi Drama Gharwale Mere Saath NahinAll this fake drama about your family not being on your side,
Munh Pe Bol Beta Tujhmein Ladne Wali Baat NahinI’ll tell you straight, son, you just don’t have the grit to fight.
Koi Saath Nahin Ya Tujhmein Asli Art NahinIs nobody with you, or is there just no real talent in you?
Ya Tujhmein Woh Jazbaat Nahin Ya Tedhi Teri Khaat NahinMaybe you lack the passion, or maybe your life’s been too easy.
Mic Nahin Le Paata Main Papa Ki Aukaat Nahin‘I can’t afford a mic, my dad doesn’t have the means,’
Karna Toh Hai Mujhko Papa Sar Par Rakhte Haath Nahin‘I want to do this, but my dad won’t give me his blessing.’
Banna Toh Hai Mujhko Sir Par Koi Kaksha Class Nahin‘I want to be someone, but I haven’t even finished school.’
Kaise Jaaunga Upar Chadhkar Naksha Mujhko Yaad Nahin‘How will I reach the top when I don’t even have a roadmap?’
Live N Die By The DreamYou say you’ll live and die by the dream,
Kaise Tu Jee Lega Karke Sapne Yateembut how can you live after orphaning your own goals?
Kaise Tu Jee Lega Tod Maa Ka YakeenHow can you live after breaking your mother’s trust?
Kaise Laake Dega Aage Baap Ko HakeemHow will you ever afford a ‘doctor’ for your aging father?
Tere Baap Ko Yakeen Hai Tu Khota HaiYour father’s convinced that you’re just a ‘worthless coin’.
Baap Jaata Daftar Ko Tu Bister Par Tab Sota HaiWhen he leaves for the office, you’re still fast asleep in bed.
Baap Aata Wapas Toh Tu Ghar Mein Bhi Nahin Hota HaiBy the time he comes back, you’re not even at home.
Lamborghini Sapne Par Bandi Ko Leke Rota HaiYou dream of a Lamborghini, but you’re busy crying over some girl.
Haathon Mein Tere Jota HaiThere’s a ‘jo#nt’ in your hand,
Maa Se Jo Tu Lukota Haiand you’re hiding your secrets from your mother.
Goal Banata RozYou set new goals every single day,
Baap Roz Bojh Dhota Haiwhile your father carries the burden of your life.
Hosh Vosh Ni Hota HaiYou’re never really conscious of reality,
Mauj Vauj Ka Kota Haiyou just want to fill your quota of fun.
Royal Stag Ka Quarter HaiYou’ve got your bottle of ‘whiskey’,
Gold Flake Bhi Chhota Haiand even your ‘cigarette’ isn’t enough for you.
Matthe Mein Tere GotaYour head is filled with ‘nothing but nonsense’,
Tujhmein Focus Nahinand you’ve got no focus at all.
Lena Padega Chheen KeYou’ve got to take what’s yours by force,
Hota Hai Hocus Pocus Nahinbecause success isn’t some ‘magic trick’.
Ladna Padega Neend SeYou’ll have to fight against your own laziness,
Khani Padegi Thokar Bhiand you’ll have to endure many failures.
Banna Padega Joker BhiYou’ll have to play the ‘clown’ sometimes,
Hasna Padega Rokar Bhiand learn to smile even while you’re crying.
Kuch Din Tu Hoga Naukar BhiFor a few days, you’ll have to serve others too.
Khali Rahega Locker BhiYour bank safe will stay empty as well.
Nazuk Dil Hoga Patthar BhiYour fragile heart will have to turn to stone.
Kaafi Milenge Shocker BhiYou’ll encounter plenty of shocks along the way too.
Kabhi Tu Hoga Troll BhiSometimes, you’ll even be the one getting trolled.
Bully Karenge MockeryThey’ll try to bully you with their mockery.
Tikegi Nahin ChhokriYour girl won’t stick around when times are tough.
Gayab Dikhega Hawker BhiEven the street vendor will seem to vanish.
Pana Padega Khokar HiYou’ll only find success after losing everything first.
Kam Aaraam Zyada KaamLess sleep and much more work.
Kaam Se Hai NaamYour reputation’s built upon your hustle,
Aur Phir Naam Ki Dukaanand then your name becomes the brand.
Jitna Badhe MuqaamThe higher your status grows,
Utni Kam Chala Zubaanthe less you should let your mouth run.
Dushman Se SeekhLearn your lessons from your enemies,
Apno Se Saavdhanbut stay cautious of those closest to you.
Never Back Down Never Back DownNever back down, never back down.
Jitna Bhi Dabe Tu Karna Nahin Tap OutNo matter the pressure, don’t you ever tap out.
Never Back Down Never Back DownNever back down, never back down.
Tera Baap Tujhe Bole Main Tere Bharose Baithta HoonYour father tells you, “I’m counting on you now.”
Never Back Down Never Back DownNever back down, never back down.
Jitna Bhi Dabe Tu Karna Nahin Tap OutNo matter the pressure, don’t you ever tap out.
Never Back Down Never Back DownNever back down, never back down.
Tera Baap Tujhe Bole Main Tere Bharose Baithta HoonYour father tells you, “I’m counting on you now.”
Never Back Down Never Back DownNever back down, never back down.
