Aathma Raama

[00:01.89] Mic check, mic check

[00:03.94] Yeah, the mic alright? Thanks a lot

[00:07.49] Uh, yo

[00:10.48] It's Brodha V

[00:11.91] Some of you might have heard of me

[00:14.09] I talk about money, I talk about rap music

[00:17.08] I talk about getting high

[00:18.68] But now, I'ma talk about God

[00:20.81] Back in the time when I was lacking a dime

[00:22.94] My hopeless youth had me slowly get attracted to crime

[00:25.15] Then sat an alliance to talk it out with practical minds

[00:28.22] Felt a force within me, get all my talents combined

[00:30.48] Enacted a mime, enlightened, I decided to rhyme

[00:33.15] Delighted and excited, I'm planning to rap 'til I'm prime

[00:36.10] Started spilling ink on the paper and planned to get signed

[00:38.57] But the world is biased, so wild, they got me slapped with a fine

[00:41.07] Never got a chance, never let me spit on the mic

[00:43.48] Only 'cause I come from a land where people ain't white

[00:45.97] Day and night, I keep flowing, completing all my demo tracks

[00:48.87] In spite being denied the right by anti-democrats

[00:52.37] Unleash my rage through music intense

[00:54.04] The cultural shock that got my whole community tensed

[00:56.76] That's when I close my eyes and talk to God

[00:59.23] Peace in my head, I'm singing this song, and it goes like

[01:02.16] आत्मा रामा आनंद रमना

[01:07.23] अच्युत केशव हरि नारायण

[01:12.61] आत्मा रामा आनंद रमना

[01:17.93] अच्युत केशव हरि नारायण

[01:23.58] Life is an octopus tryna choke you with tentacles

[01:26.16] Survived by only those who prove to be sensible

[01:28.97] With only two choices, good and the bad, uh

[01:31.54] The hardest part is to be choosing a path, check this

[01:33.85] I could've got myself in dealing with drugs

[01:35.98] Or maybe pop a weaker person dead while chilling with thugs

[01:38.62] Maybe blow up my father's money spending on clothes

[01:41.00] Fake an attitude for winning all them feminine votes, uh

[01:44.12] One point of time, I got absorbed in foolish lies

[01:46.43] Was juvenile, thought it was cool to get into brutal fights

[01:49.55] I even had the thrilling urge to kill

[01:51.49] The next second, the whole feeling reversed to guilt

[01:54.40] I was offered a gun, that's when I dropped it for a mic

[01:57.06] Took rap as a career and I thought that this was right

[01:59.72] I close my eyes and give my thanks to God

[02:01.96] Peace in my head, I'm singing this song, and it goes like

[02:04.89] आत्मा रामा आनंद रमना (that's right)

[02:10.22] अच्युत केशव हरि नारायण (uh, uh, uh, take it and go)

[02:15.36] आत्मा रामा आनंद रमना (that's right)

[02:20.41] अच्युत केशव हरि नारायण

[02:25.75] I'm being frank and I'm speaking my mind naked

[02:28.41] Every day on my knees, praying to God that I make it

[02:30.63] The only hope that keep me going is I know I'm artistic

[02:33.32] To levels extreme, my haters agree I'm God-gifted

[02:35.97] But that don't mean I lay around like clinical bait

[02:38.35] When it's mayhem in my head at such subliminal rate

[02:41.02] Cyclic monotony for me is cursed as debt

[02:43.68] I'm only halfway through the phase between birth and death

[02:46.44] One day, I wish to be like Eminem or 2Pac

[02:48.82] And have a million people chanting, "Brodha V, you rock"

[02:51.48] And maybe, wish to have a girl like Emma Watson

[02:54.15] Or even accept a Grammy on stage while mama's watching

[02:56.87] But 'til then, I'ma see days when the weather be rough

[02:59.35] I better be tough, Brodha V gon' never give up

[03:01.74] Now I'ma close my eyes and talk to God

[03:04.66] Peace in my head, I'm singing this song, and it goes like

[03:07.58] आत्मा रामा आनंद रमना (that's right)

[03:12.63] अच्युत केशव हरि नारायण (uh, uh, uh, take it and go)

[03:17.79] आत्मा रामा आनंद रमना (that's right)

[03:23.13] अच्युत केशव हरि नारायण (uh, uh, uh)
