Street Smart Lyrics Translation – Rudralok Soundtrack
Rudra says, ‘I carry CG rap on my back,’ claiming his influence. The lyrics describe winning with lines like, ‘We grab their necks and break ’em.’ Gravity adds, ‘I changed my bad luck with patience,’ showing his determination.
Yo what the f#ck bunch of ret#rdsYo, what the fck, just a bunch of idiots,
Sipping on that luck saare street smartSippin’ on that luck, they’re all street-smart.
Tough bande on the road to victoryTough guys on the road to victory,
Or lagana pade PLAN BOr if we’ve got to use Plan B.
To denge poora scene phaadThen we’ll tear the whole scene apart,
To denge poora scene phaadThen we’ll tear the whole scene apart.
Rudra verseRudra’s verse,
Leke aaya CG rap on my backI’ve brought CG rap on my back,
Tabhi ladke jalreThat’s why these guys are burnin’ with envy.
Sir hi kat teHeads just get cut off,
Masle zayada ni hai thodeThe issues aren’t many, just a few,
gardan inki pakde todeWe grab their necks and break ’em,
Ab karne ni hai free ke shows yehNow we don’t do these free shows anymore.
Diet cannibalCannibal diet,
Life magicalMagical life,
Rap janitorRap janitor,
Phir tu Rakh yeh 3 5 kaam apni g#and main b#lSo keep your ‘manipulation’ shoved up your as, man.
I feel you heart racingI feel your heart racin’,
Dhakaad itna jaise kohli when he’s chasingSo powerful, just like Kohli when he’s chasin’ a score,
Wannabes on the beat ko we eat like we eat raisinsWe eat wannabes on the beat like we’re eatin’ raisins,
SwitchSwitch.
Main karu jo bhi kaha wo jo kisi ne kara ni dekhaI’ve done everything I said, things no one’s ever seen,
Peeche choda wo jo bola bhola tu bhala ni betaI left behind the one who called you innocent, you’re no good, son,
Lane na lagan tabhi lagana bahane detaYou lack the drive for your lane, so you just make excuses,
Likhu itihaas or tu reelon pe rawani detaI’m writin’ history while you’re just flowin’ on Reels.
Chote pehle baat sunKid, listen to me first,
Main fokat ki salah ni detaI don’t give advice for free,
Seekhke pehle 7 surLearn the ‘seven musical notes’ first,
Ab saro ki salami dekhaNow look at everyone’s salute.
Mile saare baap gunThey’ve all met their match, the ‘top guns’,
Nashe main baja ke phekaPlayed ’em out while high and tossed ’em aside,
Maaf khali 7 khoonOnly ‘seven murders’ are forgiven,
Baki sab barhamat abhiEverything else is seized right now.
Aagi yeh kayamatDoomsday has arrived,
Yahan Pade na rukawatThere’s no obstacle here,
Khota baja to kala ki karen khoon se ibadatIf a fake plays, we’ll worship the art with blood,
muh dhota na mota sa jahan cash na hifazat or abDon’t even show your face where there’s no big cash or safety, and now,
Sone pe suhagaa saara hi yeh game hai dikhawatIt’s ‘the perfect addition’, this whole game’s just for show,
Tabhi L#de pe baja ke sara dekh ki hai adatThat’s why I’ve made it a habit to not give a dmn about any of it,
Abhi taadi main mila ke kalam khech li likhawatNow I’ve mixed the ink with rhythm and pulled out the lyrics.
Tabhi rote muh padenge chaanteThen you’ll get slapped right on your crying face.
16 se bhaage we running shows with the tone pros kon nahi dekhe jaa karWe’ve been on the run since sixteen, doing shows with the sound pros, who hasn’t been to see us?
Yo what the f#ck bunch of ret#rdsYo, what the hell, a bunch of fools,
Sipping on that luck saare street smartSipping on that luck, we’re all street smart.
Tough bande on the road to victoryTough guys on the road to victory,
Or lagana pade PLAN BAnd if we have to use a backup plan,
To denge poora scene phaadThen we’ll tear the whole scene apart.
To denge poora scene phaadThen we’ll tear the whole scene apart.
Verse 2: GRAVITYVerse 2: Gravity
Kaala paani sar ke mere paar haiThe dark waters are over my head,
Tabhi na bane kinaareThat’s why no shores are in sight.
Tadke maare ladke winner hai saareThese boys bring the heat, they’re all winners,
Kabhi na lage bechareThey never look like helpless souls.
Ache kapde na thheDidn’t have good clothes,
Sapne na thhe kabre zyadaHad no dreams, just too many graves,
Thakna na tha tabhi toh badhte-chadhteCouldn’t get tired, so I kept climbing higher,
Rukte na iraadeMy intentions never falter.
Jungein ladte gadhte-marte tabse reh gaye zinda laasheinFighting wars, burying and dying, we’ve been living corpses since then,
Ussi din se jaani maine sadak ki yeh shikshaThat’s the day I learned the lesson of the streets.
Jabde faade saadhu bana kalam deti bhikshaI’ve torn jaws and become a sage, my pen gives out alms.
Energy itni aisa lage kiya Charlie Sloth ke saath charlie snortGot so much energy, feels like I’m getting high with Charlie Sloth.
Bambai ka bazaar bana Mardi grasMumbai’s market turned into a festival,
F#ck a whiskey yeh verse nasha taadi kaForget the whiskey, this verse hits like ‘palm wine’.
Bakbak na karu main harkati motherf#ckerI don’t just talk, I’m a man of action, you know.
Badla main bura waqt sabar rakhke chheena hai maine takhtI changed my bad luck with patience and seized the throne.
Bhidne ko aaya saamne toh gala kare cut mere brothers for a cut motherf#ckerIf you come at me, my brothers will cut your throat for a share, you know,
That’s a fee jaise GSTThat’s a fee, just like taxes,
Na hai free kuch bhi karo re-entryNothing’s free, try to re-enter,
Dhandhe ke waqt sar pe bas paise ka nashaWhen it’s business time, I’m only high on money.
Baaki sab double sided no C&CEveryone else is two-faced, no ‘Clear & Consistent’,
Bhari top notch drive no BentleyDriving top-notch, but it’s no Bentley,
Raftaar meri tez pade belt siMy speed is fast, hitting like a belt,
Sarkaar bedhang siThe government is a mess.
For my f#ckin’ tax what has India got LatencyFor all the taxes I pay, all India’s got is lag.
