I'll show my attitude and give you a hard time,
I'll tear apart your cheap show,
I'll give one sharp look and spin you around,
Do you really want to mess with me, man?
A hundred of my own people stand with me,
If I just raise my voice, it's enough to shake you up,
Ask around in every corner of the town,
I am the master to every rogue out there!
I'll show my attitude and give you a hard time,
I'll tear apart your cheap show,
I'll give one sharp look and spin you around,
Do you really want to mess with me, man?
A hundred of my own people stand with me,
If I just raise my voice, it's enough to shake you up,
Ask around in every corner of the town,
I am the master to every rogue out there!
If you try to act aggressive,
and make one false move,
I will take off,
smoothly and stylishly!
If you push teenage kids,
into a stressful trance over exams like NEET,
I will wreck you completely,
arriving in style to crash your scene!
Should I split you open,
should I thrash you black and blue,
should I tear you to shreds,
or hang you up and finish you off?
Should I skin you alive,
should I break your hands,
should I dismantle your rule?
Just try touching our big brother and see his anger flare up!
Just chill, just chill,
Just chill, stay calm!
Just chill, just chill,
The Master is pure swagger!
Back off now,
and play it on repeat once more!
It's all effortless for our brother,
Hey man, just sit down quietly!
Pull up your shorts,
and stay a little sharp,
don't brag with empty talk,
throw that big-shot attitude away over there!
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
just remember the beatings you took!
Look at the trend his selfie set,
here comes the professor!
Thakida thakida,
Thakida thakida,
Thakida thakida,
set the beat!
Here comes our very own Thalapathy!
When someone asks for help,
making excuses and telling lies—
what are you going to gain by hoarding everything?
Share the pain
of your fellow man, my friend,
and a hundred people will rally beside you!
The fallen rising up,
and the risen falling down—
in this life, nothing
is ever permanent.
Hold on to what you receive,
cherish what you love,
and to achieve what you dream of,
learn to leave your worries behind!
Should I split you open,
should I thrash you black and blue,
should I tear you to shreds,
or hang you up and finish you off?
Should I skin you alive,
should I break your hands,
should I dismantle your rule?
Just try touching our big brother and see his anger flare up!
I'll show my attitude and give you a hard time,
I'll tear apart your cheap show!
Just chill, just chill,
Just chill, stay calm!
Just chill, just chill,
The Master is pure swagger!
Ask around in every corner of the town,
I am the master to every rogue out there!
Just chill, just chill,
Just chill, stay calm!
Just chill, just chill,
The Master is wild and unstoppable!
If you try saying 'Our country...'
and attempt to impose a language,
I will bring down your whole game
and dismantle your show!
Why hold public board exams
for eighth-grade kids?
Just try coming near our houses
to ask for votes, and see what you get!
Should I split you open,
should I thrash you black and blue,
should I tear you to shreds,
or hang you up and finish you off?
Should I skin you alive,
should I break your hands,
should I dismantle your rule?
Just try touching our big brother and see his anger flare up!

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This high-octane Chennai folk/gana style song represents the raw energy and protective, fearless nature of the protagonist (JD / Master). It blends local street slang with social commentary, warning oppressors and bad influences targeting young students while asserting supreme authority over troublemakers. Beyond the fierce warnings, the lyrics impart life philosophy—emphasizing empathy, community support, the impermanence of success and failure, and standing up against social injustices like language imposition and unnecessary educational burdens on young children.
