A vehicle running on high-interest loans,
They say it comes with no guarantee!
The one who buys it ends up broke,
And to all those broke folks, I am the boogeyman!
The gang that goes on vehicle hunts—
This is that very crew, man!
The two rival sides
Have clashed now, look!
It has turned into the tale of the crow and the fox,
The Tata Sumo has now been snatched!
The kingdom of vehicle repossession
Has arrived now!
Slogging like a donkey
Belongs to the past;
If you make it by working hard,
That is your luck,
But living by stealing
Gives me a real thrill!
All the pride and glory,
Everything we pull off,
Is purely the art of stealing!
Hustling, flipping, gathering,
Scheming and threatening,
That is the work we do!
To the friends who practice
Crafty arts like these,
We must lend a hand
And encourage them!
Angry Bird is knocked out now,
Burma is the heavyweight here!
His livelihood
Has turned to dust,
And he is the top gun in this game!
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Gangster
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Rankster
...
For the one who owns a ride,
Everything seems fine,
We break them free,
All the way up to a Lamborghini!
You have got to protect it now, man,
In brand new ways;
Even if you sleep inside your car,
It meets the same fate!
Snatching away vehicles
Is an art at his fingertips;
In stripping it part by part,
He is the undisputed master!
Even if you run and hide,
There is no way to escape;
Even the God of Death's car,
He will snatch and lock away inside!
Vehicle, vehicle, vehicle, vehicle,
Vehicle, vehicle, vehicle, vehicle,
Vehicle, vehicle...
A vehicle running on high-interest loans,
They say it comes with no guarantee!
The one who buys it ends up broke,
And to all those broke folks, I am the boogeyman!
Vehicle... vehicle... vehicle...
