Aathma Raama - Brodha V

[00:00.50] Aathma Raama - Brodha V

[00:01.95] Mic check Mic check

[00:03.95] Am i al'right? Thanks a lot

[00:07.20] Unh

[00:09.20] Yo! It's Brodha V, some of you might have heard of me,

[00:13.46] I talk about money

[00:15.70] I talk about rap music

[00:16.95] I talk about gettin' high

[00:18.95] But now, I'ma talk about God

[00:20.70] Back in the time,

[00:21.70] When I was lacking a dime

[00:22.84] My hopeless youth had me slowly get attracted to crime

[00:25.49] Then sat an alliance,

[00:26.35] To talk it out with practical minds

[00:27.86] Felt a force within me,

[00:29.35] Get all my talents combined,

[00:30.45] Enacted a mime,

[00:31.70] Enlightened I decided to rhyme,

[00:33.21] Delighted and excited.

[00:34.70] I'm planning to rap till I'm prime.

[00:35.96] Started spilling ink on the paper

[00:37.45] And planned to get signed.

[00:38.45] But the world is biased,

[00:39.41] So wild, they got me slapped with a fine

[00:40.95] I never got a chance,

[00:42.32] Never let me spit on the mic,

[00:43.70] Only cuz I come from a land

[00:44.75] Where people ain't white

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

[00:48.70] Inspite being denied the right by

[00:50.46] Anti-democrats

[00:51.70] Unleash my rage through music intense

[00:53.95] The cultural shock that got my whole community tensed

[00:56.70] That's when I, close my eyes and talk to God

[00:59.45] Peace in my head, I'm singing this song and it goes like

[01:02.15] Aathma Raama Aananda Ramana

[01:07.45] Achyutha Keshava Hari Narayana

[01:12.70] Aathma Raama Aananda Ramana

[01:17.71] Achyutha Keshava Hari Narayana

[01:23.20] Life is an octopus tryna choke you with tentacles

[01:25.69] Survived by only those who prove to be sensible

[01:28.20] With only two choices, good and the bad

[01:30.55] The hardest part is to be choosing a path, check this

[01:33.89] I could've got myself in dealing with drugs

[01:35.70] Or maybe pop a weaker person dead

[01:37.70] While chilling with thugs

[01:38.35] Maybe, blow up my father's money spending on clothes

[01:41.45] Fake an attitude for winning all em feminine votes

[01:43.70] One point of time, I got absorbed in foolish lies

[01:46.20] Was juvenile, thought it was cool to get into brutal fights

[01:48.95] I even had the thrilling urge to kill

[01:51.45] The next second, the whole feeling reversed to guilt

[01:53.95] I was offered a gun, that's when I dropped it for a mic

[01:56.85] Took rap as a career and I thought that this was right

[01:59.70] I close my eyes and give my thanks to God

[02:02.20] Peace in my head, I'm singing this song and it goes

[02:04.95] Aathma Raama Aananda Ramana

[02:09.70] Achyutha Keshava Hari Narayana

[02:15.20] Aathma Raama Aananda Ramana

[02:20.46] Achyutha Keshava Hari Narayana

[02:26.20] I'm being frank and I'm speaking my mind naked

[02:28.20] Everyday on my knees, praying to God that I make it

[02:30.45] 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

[02:35.70] But that don't mean I lay around like clinical bait

[02:38.45] When its mayhem in my head at such subliminal rate

[02:41.21] Cyclic monotony for me is cursed as debt

[02:43.70] I'm only halfway through the phase between Birth and Death

[02:46.45] One day, I wish to be like

[02:47.65] Eminem or 2Pac

[02:48.79] And have a million people chanting, Brodha V you rock

[02:51.50] And maybe, wish to have a girl like

[02:53.35] Emma Watson

[02:53.99] Or even accept a Grammy on stage while Mama's watching

[02:56.70] But till then, I'mma see days when the weather be rough

[02:59.20] I better be tough, Brodha V gon' never give up

[03:01.70] Now imma, Close my eyes and talk to God

[03:04.45] Peace in my head, I'm singing this song and it goes

[03:07.45] Aathma Raama Aananda Ramana

[03:12.45] Achyutha Keshava Hari Narayana

[03:17.70] Aathma Raama Aananda Ramana
