Aatama rama

[00:02.50] Mic check, mic check

[00:06.59] Yeah, the mic alright? Thanks a lot

[00:07.10] Uh, yo

[00:08.19] It's Brodha V

[00:12.15] Some of you might have heard of me

[00:14.29] I talk about money, I talk about rap music

[00:17.48] I talk about getting high

[00:18.56] But now, I'ma talk about God

[00:20.67] Back in the time when I was lacking a dime

[00:22.79] My hopeless youth had me slowly get attracted to crime

[00:25.72] Then sat an alliance to talk it out with practical minds

[00:27.85] Felt a force within me, get all my talents combined

[00:30.52] Enacted a mime, enlightened, I decided to rhyme

[00:33.17] Delighted and excited, I'm planning to rap 'til I'm prime

[00:35.83] Started spilling ink on the paper and planned to get signed

[00:38.76] But the world is biased, so wild, they got me slapped with a fine

[00:41.14] Never got a chance, never let me spit on the mic

[00:44.08] Only 'cause I come from a land where people ain't white

[00:46.45] Day and night, I keep flowing, completing all my demo tracks

[00:48.31] In spite being denied the right by anti-democrats

[00:51.53] Unleash my rage through music intense

[00:54.21] The cultural shock that got my whole community tensed

[00:56.85] That's when I close my eyes and talk to God

[00:59.52] Peace in my head, I'm singing this song, and it goes like

[01:01.64] आत्मा रामा आनंद रमना

[01:07.48] अच्युत केशव हरि नारायण

[01:12.53] आत्मा रामा आनंद रमना

[01:17.57] अच्युत केशव हरि नारायण

[01:23.17] Life is an octopus tryna choke you with tentacles

[01:25.83] Survived by only those who prove to be sensible

[01:28.51] With only two choices, good and the bad, uh

[01:30.89] The hardest part is to be choosing a path, check this

[01:33.82] I could've got myself in dealing with drugs

[01:35.93] Or maybe pop a weaker person dead while chilling with thugs

[01:38.59] Maybe blow up my father's money spending on clothes

[01:41.26] Fake an attitude for winning all them feminine votes, uh

[01:43.63] One point of time, I got absorbed in foolish lies

[01:46.30] Was juvenile, thought it was cool to get into brutal fights

[01:48.69] I even had the thrilling urge to kill

[01:51.61] The next second, the whole feeling reversed to guilt

[01:54.54] I was offered a gun, that's when I dropped it for a mic

[01:56.96] Took rap as a career and I thought that this was right

[01:59.62] I close my eyes and give my thanks to God

[02:02.27] Peace in my head, I'm singing this song, and it goes like

[02:04.95] आत्मा रामा आनंद रमना (that's right)

[02:10.24] अच्युत केशव हरि नारायण (uh, uh, uh, take it and go)

[02:15.57] आत्मा रामा आनंद रमना (that's right)

[02:20.66] अच्युत केशव हरि नारायण

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

[02:27.87] Every day on my knees, praying to God that I make it

[02:30.54] The only hope that keep me going is I know I'm artistic

[02:33.21] To levels extreme, my haters agree I'm God-gifted

[02:36.11] But that don't mean I lay around like clinical bait

[02:38.24] When it's mayhem in my head at such subliminal rate

[02:40.37] Cyclic monotony for me is cursed as debt

[02:43.82] I'm only halfway through the phase between birth and death

[02:46.48] One day, I wish to be like Eminem or 2Pac

[02:48.89] And have a million people chanting, "Brodha V, you rock"

[02:51.54] And maybe, wish to have a girl like Emma Watson

[02:54.47] Or even accept a Grammy on stage while mama's watching

[02:56.58] But 'til then, I'ma see days when the weather be rough

[02:59.24] I better be tough, Brodha V gon' never give up

[03:01.90] Now I'ma close my eyes and talk to God

[03:05.36] Peace in my head, I'm singing this song, and it goes like

[03:07.77] आत्मा रामा आनंद रमना (that's right)

[03:13.33] अच्युत केशव हरि नारायण (uh, uh, uh, take it and go)

[03:18.15] आत्मा रामा आनंद रमना (that's right)

[03:23.47] अच्युत केशव हरि नारायण (uh, uh, uh)
