Hey yo
It's Brodha V
Bringing the heat
Make some noise for
Anirudh on the beat, ha ha
You know who that is
Lethal combination of the rock star
And rising star
Throw your hands up for
The khaki uniform swagger
If you know what I mean
And let's go
தீராதடா இந்த
போராட்டம் தீர்வாகுமா
இந்த போர் மூட்டம் அட
துணிஞ்சாலே தடை
எல்லாம் தூளாக கொட்டும்
This struggle will never end
Will this kindled war ever find a resolution?
If you dare to take the leap
All obstacles will be shattered into dust
இல்லாத உண்மைகள்
பேசாது யோ பொல்லாத
பொய் காத்தும் வீசாது யோ
எங்கேயும் நேர்மையும் தீராது
யோ பீரங்கி தோட்டாவ தேடாது
ஒன்ஸ் அகைன்
Non-existent truths will not speak, yo
The cruel wind of lies will not blow, yo
Integrity will never run out anywhere, yo
It won't seek out those who touched the cannon
Once again

தோற்காது யோ எப்போதும்
நல்லது தூங்காது யோ
சொல்லாம கொள்ளாம
ஓடாது யோ உன் பாத
வெல்லாம மூடாது வெயிட்
பார் யுவர் டர்ன் நவ்
Everything will not lose forever, yo
Goodness will never sleep forever, yo
It will not run away without word or warning, yo
A flood will not submerge your path completely
Wait for your turn now
