Aathma Rama Slowed

[00:02.21] Mic check, mic check

[00:04.51] Yeah, the mic alright? Thanks a lot

[00:08.76] Uh, yo

[00:12.35] It's Brodha V

[00:14.20] Some of you might have heard of me

[00:16.69] I talk about money, I talk about rap music

[00:19.97] I talk about getting high

[00:21.72] But now, I'ma talk about God

[00:24.25] Back in the time when I was lacking a dime

[00:26.47] My hopeless youth had me slowly get attracted to crime

[00:29.71] Then sat an alliance to talk it out with practical minds

[00:32.63] Felt a force within me, get all my talents combined

[00:35.81] Enacted a mime, enlightened, I decided to rhyme

[00:38.73] Delighted and excited, I'm planning to rap 'til I'm prime

[00:41.66] Started spilling ink on the paper and planned to get signed

[00:44.85] But the world is biased, so wild, they got me slapped with a fine

[00:47.79] Never got a chance, never let me spit on the mic

[00:50.73] Only 'cause I come from a land where people ain't white

[00:53.92] Day and night, I keep flowing, completing all my demo tracks

[00:57.11] In spite being denied the right by anti-democrats

[01:00.66] Unleash my rage through music intense

[01:02.88] The cultural shock that got my whole community tensed

[01:06.10] That's when I close my eyes and talk to God

[01:09.09] Peace in my head, I'm singing this song, and it goes like

[01:12.55] आत्मा रामा आनंद रमना

[01:18.40] अच्युत केशव हरि नारायण

[01:24.59] आत्मा रामा आनंद रमना

[01:30.70] अच्युत केशव हरि नारायण

[01:37.09] Life is an octopus tryna choke you with tentacles

[01:40.26] Survived by only those who prove to be sensible

[01:43.37] With only two choices, good and the bad, uh

[01:46.29] The hardest part is to be choosing a path, check this

[01:49.03] I could've got myself in dealing with drugs

[01:51.71] Or maybe pop a weaker person dead while chilling with thugs

[01:54.63] Maybe blow up my father's money spending on clothes

[01:57.58] Fake an attitude for winning all them feminine votes, uh

[02:01.07] One point of time, I got absorbed in foolish lies

[02:04.00] Was juvenile, thought it was cool to get into brutal fights

[02:07.62] I even had the thrilling urge to kill

[02:09.71] The next second, the whole feeling reversed to guilt

[02:12.90] I was offered a gun, that's when I dropped it for a mic

[02:16.09] Took rap as a career and I thought that this was right

[02:19.01] I close my eyes and give my thanks to God

[02:21.93] Peace in my head, I'm singing this song, and it goes like

[02:25.38] आत्मा रामा आनंद रमना (that's right)

[02:31.52] अच्युत केशव हरि नारायण (uh, uh, uh, take it and go)

[02:37.34] आत्मा रामा आनंद रमना (that's right)

[02:43.45] अच्युत केशव हरि नारायण

[02:49.63] I'm being frank and I'm speaking my mind naked

[02:52.37] Every day on my knees, praying to God that I make it

[02:55.34] The only hope that keep me going is I know I'm artistic

[02:58.36] To levels extreme, my haters agree I'm God-gifted

[03:01.34] But that don't mean I lay around like clinical bait

[03:04.58] When it's mayhem in my head at such subliminal rate

[03:07.33] Cyclic monotony for me is cursed as debt

[03:10.52] I'm only halfway through the phase between birth and death

[03:13.53] One day, I wish to be like Eminem or 2Pac

[03:16.54] And have a million people chanting, "Brodha V, you rock"

[03:19.46] And maybe, wish to have a girl like Emma Watson

[03:22.66] Or even accept a Grammy on stage while mama's watching

[03:25.59] But 'til then, I'ma see days when the weather be rough

[03:28.79] I better be tough, Brodha V gon' never give up

[03:31.47] Now I'ma close my eyes and talk to God

[03:34.67] Peace in my head, I'm singing this song, and it goes like

[03:38.12] आत्मा रामा आनंद रमना (that's right)

[03:44.23] अच्युत केशव हरि नारायण (uh, uh, uh, take it and go)

[03:50.34] आत्मा रामा आनंद रमना (that's right)

[03:56.18] अच्युत केशव हरि नारायण (uh, uh, uh)
