I was his number one fan
When I was a kid
Now we are making songs with them
That is insane
நாம் வாழ்ந்திடும்
இந்த வாழ்க்கை முடிந்திடும்
இருந்தாலும் வாழ்வோம்
நம் புகழ் அது நிரந்தரம்
I never thought I would
Make songs with legends
But I am making this track
And I am rapping with Yuvan
I am a demon in a human form
Hiphop Tamizha.. yeah..
ஹோ ஹோ நாம் வாழ்ந்திடும்
இந்த வாழ்வில் பயம் வரும்
அதை வென்று பார்த்திட

This life that we live
Will eventually come to an end
Even so, we shall live on
Our fame will remain eternal
கருவறை முதல்
கல்லறை வரை தேவை சில்லறை
சில்லறை இன்றி இந்த வாழ்க்கை
இனிக்காத சர்க்கரை
இக்கரைக்கு அக்கறை பச்ச
மச்சி என் திறமைக்கு
முன்னாள் நீ பிச்ச பிச்ச
என் மேல கைய வச்ச நீ செத்த
மோதாத ஏன் கிட்ட
வா கஸ் ஐ பி ய தமிநாடு கேங்ஸ்டர்

Ho ho, in this life we live
Fear is bound to arise
To conquer and overcome it

Dude, in front of my talent
You are just a beggar
If you mess with me, you are dead
Do not pick a fight with me
Come, because I am a Tamil Nadu gangster
Back in my hometown, a monster is coming

ஆனா எங்கிட்ட பிரச்சன வேணாம்மா
நான் மோசமான தமிழன் ஆமா
