Aathma Raama

[00:02.07] Mic check, mic check

[00:04.89] Yeah, the mic alright? Thanks a lot

[00:08.77] Uh, yo

[00:12.32] It's Brodha V

[00:14.08] Some of you might have heard of me

[00:16.56] I talk about money, I talk about rap music

[00:19.75] I talk about getting high

[00:21.63] But now, I'ma talk about God

[00:24.51] Back in the time when I was lacking a dime

[00:26.69] My hopeless youth had me slowly get attracted to crime

[00:29.78] Then sat an alliance to talk it out with practical minds

[00:33.08] Felt a force within me, get all my talents combined

[00:35.64] Enacted a mime, enlightened, I decided to rhyme

[00:38.74] Delighted and excited, I'm planning to rap 'til I'm prime

[00:41.76] Started spilling ink on the paper and planned to get signed

[00:44.76] But the world is biased, so wild, they got me slapped with a fine

[00:47.96] Never got a chance, never let me spit on the mic

[00:50.93] Only 'cause I come from a land where people ain't white

[00:53.91] Day and night, I keep flowing, completing all my demo tracks

[00:57.10] In spite being denied the right by anti-democrats

[01:00.53] Unleash my rage through music intense

[01:02.92] The cultural shock that got my whole community tensed

[01:05.92] That's when I close my eyes and talk to God

[01:08.83] Peace in my head, I'm singing this song, and it goes like

[01:12.31] आत्मा रामा आनंद रमना

[01:18.69] अच्युत केशव हरि नारायण

[01:24.53] आत्मा रामा आनंद रमना

[01:30.64] अच्युत केशव हरि नारायण

[01:37.11] Life is an octopus tryna choke you with tentacles

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

[01:43.19] With only two choices, good and the bad, uh

[01:46.11] The hardest part is to be choosing a path, check this

[01:49.06] I could've got myself in dealing with drugs

[01:51.75] Or maybe pop a weaker person dead while chilling with thugs

[01:54.70] Maybe blow up my father's money spending on clothes

[01:57.72] Fake an attitude for winning all them feminine votes, uh

[02:01.43] One point of time, I got absorbed in foolish lies

[02:04.09] Was juvenile, thought it was cool to get into brutal fights

[02:07.54] I even had the thrilling urge to kill

[02:09.79] The next second, the whole feeling reversed to guilt

[02:12.97] I was offered a gun, that's when I dropped it for a mic

[02:16.14] Took rap as a career and I thought that this was right

[02:18.90] I close my eyes and give my thanks to God

[02:21.86] Peace in my head, I'm singing this song, and it goes like

[02:25.34] आत्मा रामा आनंद रमना (that's right)

[02:31.45] अच्युत केशव हरि नारायण (uh, uh, uh, take it and go)

[02:37.56] आत्मा रामा आनंद रमना (that's right)

[02:43.41] अच्युत केशव हरि नारायण

[02:50.07] I'm being frank and I'm speaking my mind naked

[02:52.54] Every day on my knees, praying to God that I make it

[02:55.20] The only hope that keep me going is I know I'm artistic

[02:58.46] To levels extreme, my haters agree I'm God-gifted

[03:01.56] But that don't mean I lay around like clinical bait

[03:04.38] When it's mayhem in my head at such subliminal rate

[03:07.39] Cyclic monotony for me is cursed as debt

[03:10.33] I'm only halfway through the phase between birth and death

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

[03:16.45] And have a million people chanting, "Brodha V, you rock"

[03:19.65] And maybe, wish to have a girl like Emma Watson

[03:22.39] Or even accept a Grammy on stage while mama's watching

[03:25.58] But 'til then, I'ma see days when the weather be rough

[03:28.45] I better be tough, Brodha V gon' never give up

[03:31.63] Now I'ma close my eyes and talk to God

[03:34.56] Peace in my head, I'm singing this song, and it goes like

[03:38.02] आत्मा रामा आनंद रमना (that's right)

[03:44.17] अच्युत केशव हरि नारायण (uh, uh, uh, take it and go)

[03:50.12] आत्मा रामा आनंद रमना (that's right)

[03:56.25] अच्युत केशव हरि नारायण (uh, uh, uh)
