Oh news headline kade parcha mein ravaanI stay in the headlines or police reports,
Paper’an ch aage peechhe charcha mein ravaandiscussed on every page of the newspapers.
High profile OG tag laage dekhSee, I’ve got that high-profile ‘OG’ tag,
Tere Bollywood aaleya ki search’an mein ravaanand even your Bollywood stars are searching for me.
Oh kis tarah rehna hai vah guide kare chhoriShe tells me how I should live my life,
Scene mere log’an aage hidekeeping the scene hidden from my people.
Kehnde aa kahaunde’an ne side kare chhoriShe pushes aside all the so-called big shots,
Re vah meri gail’an future decide kare chhoriand decides her future right here with me.
Oh 24 ghante aankh jama khadi reha kareMy eyes stay bloodshot for twenty-four hours,
Gaadiyan divider’an pe chadhi reha kareand my cars seem to live on the road dividers.
Dashboard’an pe chadhe sandh Turkey aale reTurkish weapons sit openly on the dashboard,
Windshield’an ke jaave aar-paar niready to blast right through the windshields.
Har ek gelaan milde vichaar niMy mindset doesn’t match with just anyone,
Tera yaar chaale samajh te bahar niand your man operates beyond all understanding.
Chhora baaz bairi titraan daar niI’m the hawk, and my enemies are just prey,
Mere haathon dekh hone ae shikaar nidestined to be hunted down by my hands.
Khole galiyan te headlock kayi saal pehleI broke out of headlocks years ago,
Manne taak rahe hai bad log kayi saal pehleand the bad guys have been eyeing me for a long time.
Beta mere aage baggy jeans pehan ke na ghoomeSon, don’t strut in front of me in those baggy jeans,
Chhode karke dara de log kayi saal pehleI scared folks off just by standing tall years back.
Banda thokne ke baad na vichaar karya kareI don’t think twice after taking someone out,
Yaar maadi cheez ka vyapar karya karebecause I deal in dangerous business.
Teri gail vah karange re jo power mein aakeI’ll treat you exactly the way the government
Opposition’an ki gail sarkar karya karetreats the opposition once they’re in power.
Arre phone pe ni khud hi threat leke aavaanI don’t send threats over the phone, I bring them myself,
Bairiyan ke mathe pe sweat leke aavaanputting the sweat right on my enemies’ brows.
Arre milke ne bade-bade mehlaan gail kade maineI’ve never joined hands with the big palaces
Kulliyan pe kare hoya vaar nijust to launch attacks on the poor huts.
Har ek gail’an milde vichaar niMy mindset doesn’t match with just anyone,
Tera yaar chaale samajh te bahar niand your man operates beyond all understanding.
Chhora baaz bairi titraan daar niI’m the hawk, and my enemies are just prey,
Mere haathon dekh hone ae shikaar nidestined to be hunted down by my hands.
Arre cash ki naa poochhe khaate seize hoye padeDon’t ask about cash, my accounts are all frozen,
Law sarkari kayi breach hoye padeand I’ve breached plenty of government laws.
Suit kala pehar ke na ghooma kar chhoriDon’t walk around wearing that black suit, girl,
Chhore 40 degree mein bhi freeze hoye padeyou’ve got boys freezing even in 40-degree heat.
Re tu chhore phire maardi smile’an gail nuYou go around killing boys with that smile,
Kheeche selfie tu cute se style’an gail nusnapping selfies in that cute style of yours.
Aaja chaah peevan baith ke ne Kalli kitte milCome, let’s sit and have tea somewhere alone,
chhora aana ni Samajh profile’an gail nubut you won’t understand me just by looking at my profile.
Nahi sakda koi nibha aira gaira mhari gailNo random stranger can keep up with me,
24 ghante maut aala pair’an mhari gailbecause death walks beside me twenty-four hours a day.
Pher bhi shak mere bolaan pe chhori reIf you still doubt my words, girl,
Dekh liye kal ka tu akhbar nijust take a look at tomorrow’s newspaper.
Har ek gail’an milde vichaar niMy mindset doesn’t match with just anyone,
Tera yaar chaale samajh te bahar niand your man operates beyond all understanding.
Chhora baaz bairi titraan daar niI’m the hawk, and my enemies are just prey,
Mere haathon dekh hone ae shikaar nidestined to be hunted down by my hands.
