Kr$Na | Raftaar • From “Hard Drive Vol. 1”
Hard Drive Vol. 1’s No China Hindi Lyrics English Meaning
Raftaar threatens to repurpose Gucci items as cleaning cloths, stating clothes don’t define him. Kr$Na claims his authenticity makes counterfeit gear appear genuine while others’ real designer wear seems fake. Both rappers contrast material displays with self-made success through work ethic.
Ab Mujhko Jyada Nahi BhataNow I don’t care for it much anymore.
Gucci Na Fendi Na PradaNot Gucci, not Fendi, and not Prada.
F**k All That Bullshit DesignerF*#k all that nonsense designer gear.
Hustle Hai Asli No ChinaMy hustle is real, it isn’t fake.
Tum Chaho To Main DikhataI could show you if you want,
Thak Jaata Banda JatataBut a man gets tired of boasting.
F**k All That Bullshit DesignerF*#k all that nonsense designer gear.
Hustle Hai Asli No ChinaMy hustle is real, it isn’t fake.
Jo Na Chhanti Wo Dukaan Nahi HaiThere isn’t a shop I haven’t sorted through.
Maine Sab Liya Dekha Kabhi Daam Nahi HaiI’ve bought it all without ever checking the price.
Mera Naam Aur Mukaam Wahi HaiMy name and my status are still the same.
Par Ab Armani Armaan Nahi HaiBut now Armani isn’t my desire anymore.
Yahan Tan Pe To Mehange Hai KapdeHere, they wear expensive clothes on their bodies,
Andar Insaan Nahi HaiBut there isn’t a human soul inside.
Gucci Ka Pochha BanaduI’ll turn Gucci into a ‘cleaning rag’.
Ye Kapde Hai Meri Pehchan Nahi HaiThese clothes aren’t my identity.
Na Na HaanNo, no, yeah.
Maine Ghadi Badi RakhiI’ve kept big watches.
Maine Gaadi Badi RakhiI’ve kept big cars.
Par Badla Nahi (Badla Hai Waqt)But I didn’t change, only the time did.
Kabhi Kisi Ne Hasaya Kabhi Kisi Ne RulayaSomeone made me laugh, someone made me cry.
Liya Badla Nahi (Le Lega Waqt)I didn’t take revenge, time will handle it.
Khudko Sanwara Tha Taki Aawara ThaI groomed myself because I was just a drifter.
Mujhe Na Kahe Bole Pagla NahiSo that no one would call me a crazy man.
Bawe Hum Nakli Bhi PehneBro, even if I wear fakes,
Wo Asli Lagenge Ye Asli Batake BhiThey’ll look real, but even if they claim theirs are real,
Nakli Hi LengeThey’ll still look like fakes.
Waise Bhi Kapdo Se Awwal Nahi AateAnyway, clothes don’t make you come out on top.
Ye Paper Bhi Denge To Supply LagengeIf they sat for an exam, they’d look like ‘cheats’.
Louis Bhi Kar Dega Upar Se SundarLouis Vuitton might make them look pretty on the outside,
Andar Se Tab Bhi Ye Ugly LagengeBut they’ll still look ugly from the inside.
Hum Jaake Dil Lenge Agli SeI’ll go and win the next girl’s heart,
Pagli Ko DengeAnd give it to that crazy girl.
Ab Mujhko Jyada Nahi BhataNow I don’t care for it much anymore.
Gucci Na Fendi Na PradaNot Gucci, not Fendi, and not Prada.
