Man like ikky
Vaade karke na kadeeh zubaan mukkri
Jehde fukkre ne muhron ohna de layi fukkri
Hunn mitran nu shaunk hai ni race’an laun da ni
Ni meri khinch la lagaam mainu aankhe nukkri
Chitti sohniye kabootri vi rakhi hoyi ae
Kaali already mitran ne chhakki hoyi ae
Thoda dekh ke friend’an kar choose nakhro
Ni mainu tere naal di ne jhalli pakhi hoyi ae
Saanu patdi ae saadgi na patte surkhi
Ni main suttan Mexico kude uthan türki
Mera chef sun kehnda ajj ki khaoge ni
Dekh baitha main dubai kude todan burki
Eh taan lokan nu hi chaleya ni luck laggeya
Mera kinni vaari dharti naal nakk laggeya
Jadon hikk utte VVS shine kardi
Bhai pata lagda ke bhai lakh laggeya
Aa je hip te clip biba mare
Sehntaan manifest vi kare naale kara mehntaan
Tainu pata hoju velly naa pyar goriye
Ni tu ankh naal milave laake rakhe ainak’an
Assi peeth te ni hikk utte vaar kari da
Aappan jealousy ni karde pyar kari da
Ho aadi bannuga ya record toduga
Banda assi jehde hiisaab naal taiyar kari da
Kade gaya ni dhayan taan school’an te kude
Langi Jaandi life bapu de asool’an te kude
Jithe mildi ni matt behas karda ni yaar
Chup bulla utte aa te kahton khulla te kude
Mera pehla pehla kandeya ne pair vaddta
Mera time aaya kalla kalla kanda kaddta
Kalle da hi rohb aa bathera goriye
Ni taan hi toleyan ch mitran ne auna chhadta
Vekh gutt 41 millimeter kude
Dekh jatt thalle Car 2 seater kude
Sawa lakh di si whiskey macallan layi
Dass minute ch mukati ek litre kude
Haaye ni tainu diary’an hi de doon
Beh ke folli varke
Lai javin gyan biba kole khadd ke
Kaliyan di knowledge batheri jatt nu
Ni halle likhda ni gaane
Main kitaban padh ke
Kade socheya ni kinna
Utte chakke patshah
Khush Rehne aa ni jithe
Saanu rakhe patshah
Esse kakre ni kade
Kitte jhooth boleya
Kyunki utte baitha
Dekhda ae sache patshah
Ni aa jo vi aa zameer’an
Dekh bal rahiyan ne
Mainu ajj dass kal diyan
Kal rahiyan ne
Kade kade chevy nu chalavan goriye
Ni dekh jatt diyan
Panj sense’an chal rahiyan ne
Jadon khet dekheya te
Aappan bauni sikh li
Jadon mili mehbooba
Te barauni sikh li
Overall taan halaat
Aap thik kare ni
Ni roti pakki ni mili te
Aappan launi sikh li
I know you motherfuckers been waiting for a minute
You know how I’m saying
Here for the boss
This ain’t your regular album
