Brodha V - Aathma Raama
[00:02.15] Mic check Mic check
[00:04.15] Am i al'right? Thanks a lot
[00:07.40] Unh
[00:09.40] Yo! It's Brodha V, some of you might have heard of me,
[00:13.66] I talk about money
[00:15.90] I talk about rap music
[00:17.15] I talk about gettin' high
[00:19.15] But now, I'ma talk about God
[00:20.90] Back in the time,
[00:21.90] When I was lacking a dime
[00:23.15] My hopeless youth had me slowly get attracted to crime
[00:24.65] Then sat an alliance,
[00:26.15] To talk it out with practical minds
[00:27.66] Felt a force within me,
[00:28.65] Get all my talents combined,
[00:30.65] Enacted a mime,
[00:31.90] Enlightened I decided to rhyme,
[00:33.41] Delighted and excited.
[00:34.90] I'm planning to rap till I'm prime.
[00:36.16] Started spilling ink on the paper
[00:37.65] And planned to get signed.
[00:38.65] But the world is biased,
[00:39.91] So wild, they got me slapped with a fine
[00:41.15] I never got a chance,
[00:42.66] Never let me spit on the mic,
[00:43.90] Only cuz I come from a land
[00:45.15] Where people ain't white
[00:46.65] Day and night I keep flowing, completing all my demo tracks,
[00:48.90] Inspite being denied the right by
[00:50.66] Anti-democrats
[00:51.90] Unleash my rage through music intense
[00:54.15] The cultural shock that got my whole community tensed
[00:56.90] That's when I, close my eyes and talk to God
[00:59.65] Peace in my head, I'm singing this song and it goes
[01:02.15] Aathma Raama Aananda Ramana
[01:07.65] Achyutha Keshava Hari Narayana
[01:12.90] Aathma Raama Aananda Ramana
[01:17.91] Achyutha Keshava Hari Narayana
[01:23.40] Life is an octopus tryna choke you with tentacles
[01:25.65] Survived by only those who prove to be sensible
[01:28.40] With only two choices, good and the bad
[01:30.65] The hardest part is to be choosing a path, check this
[01:33.65] I could've got myself in dealing with drugs
[01:35.90] Or maybe pop a weaker person dead
[01:37.90] While chilling with thugs
[01:40.15] Maybe, blow up my father's money spending on clothes
[01:41.65] Fake an attitude for winning all em feminine votes
[01:43.90] One point of time, I got absorbed in foolish lies
[01:46.40] Was juvenile, thought it was cool to get into brutal fights
[01:49.15] I even had the thrilling urge to kill
[01:51.65] The next second, the whole feeling reversed to guilt
[01:54.15] I was offered a gun, that's when I dropped it for a mic
[01:56.65] Took rap as a career and I thought that this was right
[01:59.90] I close my eyes and give my thanks to God
[02:02.40] Peace in my head, I'm singing this song and it goes
[02:05.15] Aathma Raama Aananda Ramana
[02:09.90] Achyutha Keshava Hari Narayana
[02:15.40] Aathma Raama Aananda Ramana
[02:20.66] Achyutha Keshava Hari Narayana
[02:26.40] I'm being frank and I'm speaking my mind naked
[02:28.40] Everyday on my knees, praying to God that I make it
[02:30.65] The only hope that keep me going is I know I'm artistic
[02:33.41] To levels extreme, my haters agree I'm God-gifted
[02:35.90] But that don't mean I lay around like clinical bait
[02:38.65] When its mayhem in my head at such subliminal rate
[02:41.41] Cyclic monotony for me is cursed as debt
[02:43.90] I'm only halfway through the phase between Birth and Death
[02:46.65] One day, I wish to be like
[02:47.65] Eminem
[02:48.65] 2Pac
[02:49.40] And have a million people chanting, Brodha V you rock
[02:51.40] And maybe, wish to have a girl like
[02:53.90] Emma Watson
[02:54.90] Or even accept a Grammy on stage while Mama's watching
[02:56.90] But till then, I'mma see days when the weather be rough
[02:59.40] I better be tough, Brodha V gon' never give up
[03:01.90] Now imma, Close my eyes and talk to God
[03:04.65] Peace in my head, I'm singing this song and it goes
[03:07.65] Aathma Raama Aananda Ramana
[03:12.65] Achyutha Keshava Hari Narayana
[03:17.90] Aathma Raama Aananda Ramana
[03:23.15] Achyutha Keshava Hari Narayana
