வேர்ல்டு டூர் போனேன்
டு வேற வேற காண்டிநென்ட்ஸ்
முடியாதுன்னு சொல்றவன் முன்னால
மேல ஏறாதுதான் கான்பிடன்ஸ்
I went on a world tour
To different continents
In front of those who said it was impossible
Rising up is true confidence
நான் பண்றதுதான் பண்ணிகின்னுருப்பேன்
தேவை இல்லா காம்ப்ளிமென்ட்ஸ்
என்ன தட்டி குடுத்து மேல தூக்கும்
ரசிகன் தான் என் ப்ரோவிடன்ஸ்
I will keep doing what I do
No need for compliments
Patting my back and lifting me up
My fans are my providence

: தமிழ் ஹிப்ஹாப்ன்னு சொன்னா தெரியும்
ஹிப்ஹாப் தமிழன் பிரிமினன்ஸ்
இன்னைக்கு கோலிவுட்ல கேட்க்குது பார்
ஹிப்ஹாப்வோட டாமினன்ஸ்
Mention Tamil Hip Hop and you will know
Hiphop Tamizha's prominence
Look how today in Kollywood you hear
Hip Hop's dominance
நேத்து சத்தமென்று சொன்னவன் முன்னே
போட்டேன் பாரு ஒரு பிராமிஸ்
இரு டிகேட்டை தான்டியும்
தமிழ் ஹிப்ஹாப் ஸ்டில் ராக்கின் சன்
In front of those who called it noise yesterday
Look, I made a promise
Even past two decades
Tamil hip hop is still rocking, son
பால் குடிக்கிற கொழந்த கூட
இப்போ பால் டப்பா கேட்குதா
கோளாற ஆனா கைங்க
அசல் கோளாற எதிர் பாக்குதா
அரசியல் என்ட்ரி எல்லாம்
அறிவு போட்ட பாட்டத்தான்
இப்போ மெயின் ஸ்ட்ரீம்மு டிவி ரேடியோன்னு
ஹிப்ஹாப்புதான் ஓட்டுதான்
Even a milk-drinking baby
Is asking for Paal Dappa now
People who messed up
Are expecting original cool vibes

வெறும் என் திறமையின் திமிரே
என் கலைக்கு இல்லை விலை
கலைஞனின் வலி கவிதைகள் வழியே

Comparing yourself with me
Is a total waste
All your opportunities and privileges
Are given by your family's place
Without any of these, I will fly to space
The face of independent music
No nepotism, hey
My talent is on display
Through my hard work
I will reach the peak
என் நட்பே என் நெட்வொர்க்
என் ரசிகன் என் நெட்வொர்த்
நான் மிடில் கிளாஸ் சோ நோ லக்
இது லக் இல்லை ஹார்டு வொர்க்
நோ பேக்ரவுண்டு சோ பேட் லக்
ஆனா நம்புவது என் ஹேபிட்
என் நம்பிக்கை மேஜிக்
என் கனவுக்கென்ன லாஜிக்
This is not ego
Just the pride of my talent
There is no price for my art
An artist's pain flows through poems
போராடுவோம் நாங்க போராடுவோம்
இந்த உலகமே எதிர்த்தாலும் போராடுவோம்
